The great campus and great placements in 2015.

Infrastructure: This is great infrastructure in the departments, which are very well maintained. Wi-Fi is less and the labs are very brilliant. The classes are five-star rated, the quality of the facility is not very nice, the food is very good, the canteen is brilliant, and sports and games are very good.

The campus is dull when there is no fest. Everything is in the hands of faculty on campus.

Infrastructure: Food and hostel are good, but the buildings are old as it is an old establishment in our college. Campus is good, but I find it outdated. Facilities seem very old compared to the fancy private institutions.

It gave me an exceptionally beautiful experience.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was excellent, I would say. The infrastructure of the hostels, etc., from outside would be conventional, but the facilities are top-notch. The Wi-Fi is provided, power laundry is available, and the issues, if any, raised are also taken care of by the management with utmost care.

NIT Calicut College review.

Infrastructure: One noteworthy positive characteristic of the university is the statement of the modern infrastructure being accompanied by extra resources. The public library not only has a wide range of books and novels but also has different academic journals. The canteen is big and offers a variety of dishes and drinks that are served in a customer-friendly place. Students appreciate living in the well-managed hostel where the food is not only satisfactory but also meets the basic quality standards.

It is the best college because of faculty members.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure here is full of trees and enjoys frequent rains. Those who like this rainy condition can join here. The weather is very good. Hostel rooms do not have Wi-Fi, but they have Ethernet connections for PCs and laptops. Hostel room structure is good.

Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.

Infrastructure: The course structure for my program was excellent and focused heavily on research. In the first year, we attended classes and studied various subjects similar to B. Tech, but in the second year, we only had lab work and projects, with the projects being of our personal choice, which I feel was a great step to promote research. For the M. Tech program, the apartments were spacious and well-maintained. Cleaning staff came every morning to clean the area. There were a total of seven messes, and any...
