Ritam Kishore's Review on National Institute of Technology, [NIT] Calicut

Yes, I did my internship in the college itself under the permanent faculty of the physics department of solid state physics, no stipend was given. Key companies include manufacturers of semiconductors and electronics and coaching institutes including FIITJEE, Rao academy etc. Since people prefer to go for higher studies mostly average salary is around INR 4-5 lakhs per annum. Alumni network is good as there are a lot of people doing research in foreign institutes and are regularly in contact with us giving info about latest internships and jobs.

There are 12 hostels each reserved for a particular year, some of the hostels are new and are awesome while some of them are pretty old and look like a haunted house, hostel fee is minimal around 800 INR per month excluding mess fee. There are a lot of apartments outside the campus for bachelors who wish to live outside the hostels around INR 5k per month. Food quality is satisfactory with some variety and it charges around INR 2400 per month excluding extras (biscuits, chocolates, soft drinks etc). Key infrastructures are what you expect from technical colleges there are plenty of labs and a central library having a wide variety of books on all subjects. Internet is fast around 4 MB/secs.

Students who passed 12th standard and dropped a maximum of 2 years after their 12th are all eligible. You have to give JEE mains examination and secure a rank to get admissions in the college. Cutoff depends on the rank secured by the student typically my branch i.e. Btech engineering physics if you don't have reservations (OBC, SC, ST) you need to score a rank below 13000. In the category for those who got reservations, they need a rank around 25000 in general category.

Class starts from 8 am in the morning till 5 pm in The evening with a 2hrs lunch breaks and some free slots in the morning as well as evening sessions. The quality of education is good with faculties who have their PhDs and a lot of M.tech temporary faculties as well. Overall experience is satisfactory with a slightly monotonous life.

B.Tech course fee at National Institute of Technology Calicut [NITC] is around 80000 INR per annum excluding hostel charges however the latest fee is around 120000 INR per annum for those whose parental income is more than INR 6 lakhs per annum others get a hefty reduction in their fees. Yes, there are a lot of scholarships available provided by central as well as state government. Since the fee is very less very few of the students require loans, they are easily available at our campus to have an SBI branch within the campus as well as a PNB bank.

There are practically a lot of clubs in almost all the fields like RIG (robotics club), team unwired (car building), literary and drama clubs, music's clubs and much more including a lot of sports like cricket basketball, tennis, badminton etc. In general, life is satisfactory and you can have fun in these 4 yrs of life.
