Now this college is modified. It's a big University in Kozhikode.
Placements: Calicut University is located at Thenhipalam. During our year, there weren't many companies that came in for recruitment. There were a few notable names like IBS and TCS, but they only picked a handful of students for their recruitment. The university has a well-equipped campus equipped with modern facilities. It is equipped with a library, a computer centre, a park, etc. The following are the infrastructure facilities available at Calicut University.
Infrastructure: I live in a college hostel, which is situated on a college campus separated by a wall. The quality of food is better than others. The menu is chosen by the students. Every month we change the menu as we need it. Putt kadala, idli sambar and other dishes are included. For lunch, five days of fully vegetarian rice with 2-3 dishes, curry, and pappadam are provided. One day includes fish and the other day ghee rice with chicken kuruma. Evening time for 3 days will have snacks like fried onions, fried banana, or something like it. For dinner, 3 days of rice. One day will be chicken biryani, another day chapati, and another day will be poor. 2 students are allotted a room in the hostel. Two coats, three tables, and separate ward drop and cupboards are available. An iron box is available. First, we want to fill out an application form and pay for 6 months of room rent in advance. Rs. 5000 is a caution deposit. The mess fee is calculated by dividing the total amount spent on the mess by the number of students. The current bill will also be like that. The hostel fee is Rs 40,000.
Faculty: University exams will be conducted twice a year. Marks are divided into external and internal. Internal marks are based on activity in classroom attendance, marks in internal exams, presentation and submission of seminars, etc. And external is the mark that we got on our semester exams.
Other: They provide Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs, a large library, and sports facilities for students interested in badminton, cricket, football, and hollyball, among other things. And a good sports master was also provided there.
