Overall: The campus has such a great vibe and the extracurricular activities are great has a ton of options to choose from. Life here is heavily centred on Tathva and Ragam - probably two of the best few campus fests in South India!

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and well knowleagable. Though they're overqualified, only some of them really know the art of teaching. The curriculum is appropriate.

My journey at Nit Calicut

Overall: It was very tough decision for me to move to such a long-distance college. But it was a great experience here. This college taught me to face real-life problems and if you are an extrovert kind of person you will surely enjoy it here in Kerala there are different spots where you can explore and go on adventure trips with friends. That thing is an important thing you should do. but if you are a purely vegetarian kind of person then you may be struggling because here veg food even in restaurants not as good as north Indian food. Here restriction is only till the first year after that you can go anywhere at any time.

Faculty: faculties are very humble if you need any kind of help but strict in terms of rules and regulations. every faculty is qualified with a PhD and classified into different types based on their experience and projects done by them. such as assistant professor(2-3 years) and associate professor (5-7 years) and professor (8-10 years). there is no restriction for you to do research under any professor but you need to clear the min cgpa criteria which is around 7 to 7.5 or it depending on your work and professor. you can approach them to their office between 9 to 5 or you can directly mail them regarding any issue.

Overall: For my JEE Main rank, I got this chemical engineering so I opted for it. Many intentions and teachers are good and facilities are good. They introduce the correct and useful curriculum. Here, fests are not as good as expected.

Faculty: The teachers exhibit a commendable level of assistance and engagement, although a few may display strictness and arrogance towards students. However, considering their age, it is understandable for occasional outbursts to occur. The curriculum comprises a mid-semester examination and an end-semester examination. It proves highly beneficial for students inclined towards the core subjects, although the majority of students express a keen interest in the IT field.

Dear student,

With your score of 10720 in NIMCET, it seems difficult for you to get admission in any of the NITs. The top NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad usually close admissions for the General category within the top 50-300 ranks. Even for reserved categories, the ranks typically do not extend into five digits.

For other participating NITs like Bhopal, Jamshedpur, Kurukshetra, Patna, Raipur, Agartala generally remain within the top 1000-2000 for the General/OBC-NCL categories. For SC/ST categories, some may go up to 4000-8000, but 10720 is still a very difficult rank to get into any of the participating NITs.

Unfortunately, with an All India Rank of 10720, your chances of getting admission into any of the NIMCET participating NITs (National Institutes of Technology) is highly unlikely for the MCA programme. Based on previous years' cut-off trends, it will be difficulut for you to get a seat even if you belong to the reserved categories basis last year's trend. The competition is extremely high for these limited seats (around 800-1000 seats across all NITs).

You can try for other universities like AKTU, GGSIPU, HBTU, UoH and state government aided universities. You might need to appear for state exams like MAH MCA CET for Maharashtra, OJEE for Odisha, PGCET for Karnataka, etc. for admission to state universities.
