The great campus and great placements in 2015.
Placements: Above 90% of the students have been placed, and the highest packages of 20 LPA and the lowest packages of 5 LPA. The top recruiting companies are the architecture companies. About 40% of students got internships in the field of architecture.
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.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, they are qualified, they have a Ph.D. from out of the country, and they make students industry-ready. It is very difficult to clear the exams, the papers are semester-wise, and stop at 20 credits per semester
Other: I chose this course to become an architect to design for companies. The best thing about this course is that there is a great scope for increasing demand for different designs of houses.

The quality of food is very good in the hostel. Medical facilities are also available, sick rooms are available, and the canteen food is good. Sports and games are all available.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful in studies and gaining knowledge. Teachers are very supportive and give the best teaching. The quality of teaching is very good and makes the students industry-ready. Course curriculum activities are also available, so semester exams in this college are difficult. The pass percentage is 70%.

The campus is dull when there is no fest. Everything is in the hands of faculty on campus.
Placements: Around 97% of students who applied for placements got it. Students need to keep their GPA above 7. Learning coding will be helpful. Students speaking skills matter a lot. The average salary package is decent, not like 1 crore per annum or 2 crore per annum. Doing an internship doesn't matter much during placements.
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 Campus is good, but I find it outdated.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.
Faculty: We just go for attendance. Teachers tend to teach, but we don't understand anything. Some professors are really great. Assignments are very important and they affect your marks. Constant learning is required. Midsem exams are tough.

It gave me an exceptionally beautiful experience.
Placements: Around 80% of the people got placed from my course. The highest package was 34 LPA, the lowest was 5 LPA, and the average was 8.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Oracle and Caterpillar. Very few, around 30% got the internship in companies like Oracle, TVS, Bajaj, etc. Top roles offered were like application developer, associate engineer, etc.
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.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable in their fields and put their maximum efforts to deliver high-quality teaching to the students. The course is relevant to the curriculum, and it does make students ready for the future industry they will be going to work in. The semester exams are moderate to hard level, and they are designed to test our skills. The pass percentage varies from faculty to faculty, but I would say 35-40 percent.

NIT Calicut College review.
Placements: When it comes to packages, the highest average is between 20 LPA and 25 LPA, while the lowest average is around 15 LPA. We got about 80% of students placed in our course, which is solid. The top recruiters, I think, are food industry giants and well-known names like Tata and Mahindra. They are handing out some top roles.
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.
Faculty: The teachers are approachable and they take things step by step, therefore making the examples very simple and relatable for the students to understand. The exams are easy, and they mainly focus on conceptualizing the topic. The semester assessment is completely dependent on the high school curriculum and is easy in nature.

Placements: Placements here are good, but not perfect. The highest salary package offered was 31 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 14 LPA. I am not sure about the companies, but sometimes the placement rates are high, though not every time. It is still a better college for placements compared to many local colleges.
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.
Faculty: Faculty members here at NIT Calicut are good, but not perfect. It is okay to join here as it is better than many other colleges, but not all. Exams are tough, but solving them helps boost memory. Teachers are kind and supportive.
