In 1986, the University of Calicut was the second University to be established in Kerala. It is the largest University in the State and was created by bifurcating Kerala University. It is UGC approved and has been recognized by NIRF. It has also been awarded grade 'A' by NAAC. It has an annual intake of 100,000 students, making it an extremely popular Institution. Calicut University Admissions are for various courses at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate level.
The Calicut University campus is located 24 kilometers south of the city, at Tenhipalam. Along with being the largest in the State, it is also the largest residential university. Moreover, over the years, it has received many awards and recognitions. According to a study done by Google, it is the 4th most searched University globally and the most searched in the country. The courses are taught through multi-disciplinary departments by its affiliated colleges, which include:
The year 2018, marked the University's Golden Jubilee and has launched a number of projects, which include: infrastructural schemes, the introduction of academic programs with interdisciplinary content, initiating collaborative projects with centers of higher learning and industry in India and abroad, achieving self-reliance in power, and a massive modernization and digitalization project
The University of Calicut came into being as a result of the foresightedness of the idealistic leaders like C.H. Mohammed Koya, C. Achutha Menon, and K.P. Kesava Monon, who are no longer with us now. They apprehended that the Kerala University centres at Cochin and Calicut were short for the balanced growth of higher education in Kerala. The following are the highlights of the university:
| Type of University | Public | |
| Year of Establishment | 1968 | |
| Approvals | University Grants Commissions [UGC] | |
| Accreditations | Grade 'A' by National Assessment and Accreditation Council [NAAC], National Institutional Ranking Framework [NIRF] | |
| Calicut University Facilities | Library, Sports Facilities, Multimedia Research Centre, Computer Centre, etc. | |
| Calicut University Placement | This university has tie-ups with a few companies to furnish some knowledge and as well as job opportunities for students | |
