Review of NIT Calicut College.

Infrastructure: When we talk about the college's infrastructure, it covers all the basics clean water supply, spacious science labs, an auditorium for cultural events, and a playground for sports. There was a well-stocked library and tidy classrooms. Students could also benefit from transportation and on-campus housing if they did not have their own rides. The mess was kept clean, and while the food was decent, I think adding a few more choices that students like would be a real bonus.

About good campus life and hostel facilities.

Infrastructure: Hostels are good with changing room allotments by year. In the first year, rooms are shared by 3 students (earlier 4). Second and third years stay in the Mega hostel with 2 students per room. In the final year, students can choose the campus hostels or the Mega hostel, with a single room provided. Wi-Fi or LAN is provided to all the hostels. Mess food is better than that in many colleges, with multiple mess options available. There is a health center outside the main campus.

NIT Calicut Engineering Physics.

Infrastructure: Mess is okay, not so good, and not so bad. Hostels for 1st year are a bit old. The 2nd year, we get new hostels which are way better than the 1st years. These new hostels are inaugurated 3 to 5 years ago. In first year hostels, there is a computer room, a visitor room, a common room which has TT table, Air hockey, Pool, Chess, Carrom, and a TV. We have a wedding machine installed on the ground floor, which has basic snacks and drinks. We have 3 washing machines also.

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.
