Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.

Infrastructure: We have a big library, which has five floors. Every study material is provided. Students can either take books to their rooms or study there. It is fully air-conditioned, which makes the environment very comfortable. We have many computer labs and several buildings for classrooms, which are very good for students. Our hostel, MHB2, is one of the best hostels with a very good Wi-Fi connection.

Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.

Infrastructure: Individual hostel facilities were available for first, second, third, and fourth-year students. Hostel security was very strict. Food prepared for the hostellers was always in limited proportion, and the food was not very tasty. Free Wi-Fi connectivity, 24-hour water facilities, and electricity were available in the hostel at all times.
