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.

NIT Calicut is a heavenly college in god's own country.

Faculty: Faculty here is one of the best among any other institute in India. They are all Ph.D. holders from NIT, IIT, IISc, and even some from Ivy League schools. The semester exams are very hard and difficult to score a high GPA, so students must be very careful.
