Question 12

How are placements for an MTech at the NIT Calicut?

Accepted Answer

The placements for M.Tech is pathetic unless you are a CS/IT student. There are a lot of core companies that do not even allow PG students to sit for the placement. Even after this, the students might get sidelined and undergraduate students will be hired. Students keep on preparing for the interviews and at the end, they are told at the last minute that PGs are not shortlisted. This also includes students with a good academic record and a good CGPA. While the irony is, the students are shortlisted based on their good academic record and good CGPA. A lot of students have experienced this personally multiple times. Placement Statistics at NIT Calicut Category NIT Calicut Companies Visited CISCO, Tata Motors, etc. Average Package 11.58 lakhs Number of Internships 151 Number of Companies 133 Placement Percentage 73.55% Highest Package 49.7 lakhs CSE and ECE might have good placements. Intel usually takes a good number of M.Tech of VLSI for internships as well as grade 5 officers. But all others are not up to the mark according to them. However, if you would like to pursue Ph.D. after MTech and go into the field of teaching/research, rather than industrial jobs, the brand name of NIT Calicut is going to help you a lot. There are certain solutions to this as well. You might be saved in this scandal if you manage to get an internship towards the end of your first year as it might lead to a permanent job, at the least. If you are planning to make your future in a corporate career, the students shouldnt stay on campus for their thesis, they must opt for an internship opportunity. This will help the students to grab a good offer at the least.

Question 16

How is the computer science branch in NIT Calicut?

Accepted Answer

It is good overall, but nothing beats the computer science department at any of the old IITs. Still, if you are not getting any of the main branches in IITs, you should go for it. Alternatively, if you are really passionate about CS and you are not getting it in any IIT (which, I believe, is pretty obvious from your question), you should consider taking an NIT. NIT Calicut is regarded as one of the best NITs, with a strong CS department. You will have no problems with placements because they are quite good over there. You can speak with any alumni or a current student over there, they are extremely cooperative. Some important information regarding CSE at NIT Calicut are : Total course fee 5.42 lakh Placement rate 75% Average salary package 8 lakhs Highest salary package 36 lakhs Many of my friends studied at NIT Calicut. According to them it is really good. If you do not get into IITs then NIT Calicut is the best option available for you.

Question 17

How do I reach NIT Calicut?

Accepted Answer

Kerala is well-connected by road, rail, and air. NIT Calicut campus is located approximately 22 km from Calicut City (Kozhikode City) on the Calicut to Kunnamangalam to Mukkam Road. Traveling By train: Reach Calicut station and from there go to Palayam bus stand which is approximately 0.8 km away from the railway station. From the Palayam bus stand, there you will get private buses every five to ten minutes to Mukkam via Kunnamangalam and NIT Calicut. Ensure that you are getting a bus that goes via NIT. It will take 40 to 45 minutes to reach. Traveling By Bus: If you are going by bus to Calicut, go to the Mofussil Bus stand (Puthiya Bus Stand), at Mavoor road. You can ask the nearby shopkeepers and go to the west side of the bus stand. Get a bus that goes to Mukkam through NIT. These buses usually start from the Palayam Bus stand. Alternatively, you also can take an Auto rickshaw from the west side, reach Palayam stand, and get a bus to NIT. Auto rickshaw price usually will be Rs. 350 to Rs. 400 from Calicut to NIT.

Question 18

Which is better, NIT Calicut for CSE or IIIT Bangalore for CSE?

Accepted Answer

My brother has visited both institutes. So, I know a little bit about NIT Calicut and IIIT Bangalore. If youre talking about B. Tech in CSE, NITC is undoubtedly the best. NITC remains ahead in terms of ranking compared to IIITB. But this doesnt necessarily mean that IIITB is not a good college. IIITB is a pretty new college and has only been offering M. Tech in IT for a long time, and this is one of the reasons why it does not have much recognition among students. IIITB does not have a B. Tech program, but recently it started offering a 5-year Integrated M. Tech program. Right now, the second batch is about to pass. The first batch has passed out with remarkable achievements. IIITB has been more of an M. Tech-focused institute since its start. The faculties are really good here. Placements: When it comes to placement IIITB gets the upper hand. Being situated in Bangalore, the college also attracts a lot of software companies. Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, NIT Calicut is way better than IIIT Bangalore. Academics: IIITB focuses a lot on academics. The level of dedication and the hard work that both students and professors put in is commendable. It has a coding culture much better than the NITC. The senior-junior relationship in IIITB is great. Seniors put in a lot of time and effort into mentoring their own juniors, which you can never experience at NITC. Also, the IIITBians won a lot of coding tournaments that had happened in Bangalore. So, go through the above-mentioned points and make your decision wisely.
