Great campus, academics, overall college experience.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable. They are qualified from IITs and are supportive. Curriculum provides a balanced theoretical and practical learning experience. Semester exams are moderately challenging. We also have assignments, seminars, webinars, & workshops. We need to achieve more credit points in order to pursue the degree. We collect them by attending seminars, webinars, and workshops. In terms of attendance, we need to maintain attendance above 80%, or else we will not be able to attend...

My honest opinion about my college.

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...

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. It makes students industry-ready. There is not much difference in learning quality, but semester exams are tough in NITC.

Greatly satisfied with the faculty and have good placement records every year.

Faculty: We can find very experienced and knowledgeable faculty in government colleges. Their teaching quality is top-notch. About the curriculum, they follow a regular curriculum but they hardly try to prepare the students for industry purposes. Regarding semester exams, they happen once a semester, every six months.
