Placement Experience:

From seventh semester students can participate in placement drive. Many companies had visited this year. Companies like BPCL, HPCL, Maruti, Vedanta, Exonnmobil, Deloitte, Oracle, Accenture and many others have hired a good number of students. I assume the average package is 18lpa overall and the highest in Chemical engineering is 14lpa (from Vedanta). Technically 26lpa is the highest in our class (Software stream). More than 50% of the students are placed before the end of seventh semester.

Remarks:

I took jee main examination (jee advanced as well) after my 12th standard. As all of you know it is a bit tough. We can find all the details in the official website of Josaa. All the details about fee, exam dates, important dates etc., are posted in the official website. Jee main is being conducted by Josaa in 2 phases (from 2019) one in January other in April. In each phase we can either choose any one of the two papers (B.Tech/B.Arch) or both of them. You can also take the exam in both the phases or any one phase. Female students, students having reservation have less application fee compared to general students(now it's 500/-). General students are expected to pay 1000/- as application fee. If you are availing any reservation benifits you must be able submit category certificate / income certificate as required.The admission process was long and hectic in 2019. After coming to the college we had a lot more to be followed (it took half a day). But now it's all online and a bit easier

Placement Experience:

From 3rd semester, or say after 1 year of completion campus placement drives start. And for B.Tech students, after 3rd year most placement drives start. Last year around 320 companies came. And took almost 80% of students. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Java, AMD, Dell, Tata group, IBM, etc. visit here. The average package is 6 to 8lpa for civil engineering. But the maximum package goes about 30lpa and the minimum goes up to 4 to 5 LPA. I plan to do p.hd from here. I don't want jobs right now. I want to learn things in depth.

Remarks:

To get Mtech in the civil branch student has to clear the gate exam. A gate score above 450 is sufficient. Non-gate students may apply for MTech. In that case, NITC will conduct an entrance exam and an interview round is also there. Course Structure and fees all are given on the college's official website. Admission starts after the gate score is published. Reservation facilities are mainly given to Kerala residents. for other states, students are given 12,400 Rs as a stipend. The admission process is satisfactory. They are tender to students, they provide any kind of help with any problem.

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

● Top Answer By Meghna Roy on 25 Aug 21

Ans
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.

Ques

Is NIT Calicut a Tier 1 college?

● Top Answer By Kunal Sharma on 26 Mar 21

Ans
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. As per the NIRF ranking, It stands at the 28th position all over India leaving behind IITs, NITs, and other colleges in the Engineering stream. Among the NITs, it stands at the top 5th position. The college stands at 3 all over India, where only 2 IITs, i.e. IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur are better than it while among the rest of the colleges and the NITs, it is at the first position in Architecture. All of these facts further strengthen the argument that NIT Calicut is a tier -1 college in India.

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

How do I reach NIT Calicut?

● Top Answer By Shailja Khandelwa on 26 Mar 21

Ans
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.

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.
