My honest opinion about my college.

Placements: Placements have well-defined procedures. There is a big placement team that helps us prepare for placements better and grab a good job. A student who has studied decently throughout is guaranteed to get placed in a reputed company which provides the best profile to the selected candidates. Lots of companies visit the campus every year. The average package is 7 LPA. McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, ITC, Asian Paints, BNP Paribas, Lehman, and Google are top recruiters.

Infrastructure: My hostel is very good. There are nice facilities. The food is also very good according to the menu, food is provided, and it is hygienic.

Faculty: Most of the college faculty members are highly qualified professionals. The way of teaching varies from faculty to faculty. While some lectures are very interesting to hear, some are so boring that you may fall asleep in class. The teaching methods of most of the faculty members are highly traditional. They are very helpful and are always ready to clear our doubts whenever we ask. Good faculty with great knowledge always gives great freedom to students, provides a good atmosphere, and gives much time to improve communication skills. World tours and study tours are required, great opportunity. The course curriculum of this college is pretty good. The college focuses on structured learning activities which allow students to understand the concepts easily and hence help in their growth. The exam structure is divided into 2 semesters in the year. Mostly, the course that is covered in them includes all the in-depth information that can help students develop their skills. Exams are also scheduled wisely.

Not completely satisfied because of placements in core jobs, but overall, it is good.

Placements: Placement depends on the branch. In CSE, around 80% of students get placed. Nearly 60% of students get placed in other circuit branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Around 50–60% of students from other branches get placed. The average package is around 9 LPA. Majorly, software companies visit our campus. Some core companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and BEL also visit for recruitment.

Infrastructure: When I was in my 2nd and 3rd year, my hostel was very good in terms of cleanliness and infrastructure. That building was newly constructed. The 4th-year hostels are average. The college is going to make some changes to these hostels. The 1st-year hostels are comparatively better now than ours were.

Faculty: Lectures in NITC are good. They provide valuable information. The exam questions are tough, and the invigilation is also strict. In our college, grading depends on the professor's interest. It can be absolute or relative, but mainly it is relative. The passing percentage is around 85%.

Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: 90% of students are placed. The remaining students want to pursue higher studies. The highest package is 63 LPA, and the lowest package is 6 LPA. Top recruitment is from Oracle, Myntra, and Meesho. Around 60% of students got internships from Oracle, Flipkart, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and NHAI.

Infrastructure: We have a big library, which has five floors. Every study material is provided. Students can either take books to their rooms or study there. It is fully air-conditioned, which makes the environment very comfortable. We have many computer labs and several buildings for classrooms, which are very good for students. Our hostel, MHB2, is one of the best hostels with a very good Wi-Fi connection.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and have immense talent in explaining concepts to students. Our course curriculum is similar to that of IIT Madras, which is why we are among the best. It makes students industry-ready. There is not much difference in learning quality, but semester exams are tough in NITC.

Other: I want to become a software engineer, so I pursued this course. Even leaving NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy, and a few IITs. The best part is the malls and friendships. Every event feels like a big celebration, and big celebrities come for the fests.

I feel quite satisfied.

Placements: Genuinely, my course is Production Engineering. It is considered a lower branch, but still, a good number of placements are continuing. Around 80% placement for the year 2025–26. I do not know the exact number of recruiting companies, but companies are visiting. A CGPA cutoff is applied for IT sector placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is somewhat okay for the first few years. There are generally 3 hostels. Our hostel needs some improvement, but we can somehow adjust to the facilities. The library is good. In terms of games, we have the freedom to play any sport when we are free.

Faculty: Undoubtedly, professors are the best. Their knowledge is excellent. Their lectures are very important. Honestly, the semester exams are somewhat tough, but the curriculum is relevant. We learn many things. For end-of-semester exams, we have to study more.
