How is NIT Calicut regarding the placements for an MTech in VLSI design?

I have a friend who recently graduated with M.Tech in VLSI Design from NIT Calicut. According to him, the placements are great. According to recent placement highlights, the average CTC offered at the institute is 11 LPA. In order to secure decent placements, all you need is the following. Knowledge of EDA tools of Mentor or Cadence or Synopsys. Be skilled in RTL, Verilog coding. Know basics of verification and design parameters for speed vs power vs area. You also should have sound knowledge of Place and Route; extract parameters to compare or adjust design parameters with layout changes. The demand in this field is high. Work hard and you will succeed.

Ques

How are placements for an MTech at the NIT Calicut?

● Top Answer By Isha Harjai on 26 Mar 21

Ans

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 shouldn't 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.

Is NIT Calicut a Tier 1 college?

● Top Answer By Kunal Sharma on 26 Mar 21

The definition of a Tier 1 college may vary from person to person as it majorly depends on an individual’s opinion. Yet going by the general characteristics defined for a Tier 1 college, it can be successfully concluded that NIT Calicut is a Tier 1 college. Category NIT Calicut Ranking #23 by NIRF Courses offered B. Tech, B. Arch, M. Tech, MBA, M. Plan, M. Sc, PhD. Entrance Exam Accepted JEE Main, GATE, CAT, UGC-NET, JRF and NIMCET. Highest Package 49.7 lakhs Various reasons can be stated for the same – If we consider the NIRF as a major deciding factor then it can be seen that the college has seen a huge rise from 2018, and now it has shifted to the 23rd position. The courses, faculties including the facilities provided by the college are at par as to what you can expect from a top tier college. We can conclude that in the placement scenario, the college has seen a steady rise in the median and the highest package over the last couple of years. The median salary for last year stood around 8 lakhs per annum. Hence, we can conclude that it is a tier -1 college and is far better than many IITs and NITs.

Ques

How is the computer science branch in NIT Calicut?

● Top Answer By Rishita Gupta on 21 Aug 21

Ans

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.

Ques

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

● Top Answer By Somya Gupta Sharma on 26 Mar 21

Ans

My brother has visited both institutes. So, I know a little bit about NIT Calicut and IIIT Bangalore. If you're talking about B. Tech in CSE, NITC is undoubtedly the best. NITC remains ahead in terms of ranking compared to IIITB. But this doesn't 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.
