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

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%.

One of the best NITs ever.

Faculty: Most faculty are qualified and helpful. Although teaching styles differ. The curriculum gives a good theoretical foundation but students should learn extra skills on their own. Semester exams are moderately difficult and require regular preparation. Students who attend classes and study consistently can pass without much trouble.

Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.

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.

An absolutely amazing college, and better than taking a drop.

Faculty: All teachers are not the same. Some lectures are really worthwhile, while some are sleepworthy. Some faculty members speedrun the course before exams, but the exams are not that tough and can be cracked with self-study. Course curriculum get debate among the faculty members and is updated every year to be kept relevant, but an Indian college after all. You are tried real hard to fail - Director. Semester exams are not that difficult, just try to pay attention in class.

Strong curriculum and a good culture of extra activities.

Faculty: All the teachers have the required qualifications, but it does not guarantee that their teaching methods are good. It varies from faculty to faculty. However, the curriculum is very relevant to the current situation. The curriculum is changed every 3 or 4 years, so it is always improving.
