What is it like to be in ECE branch at NIT Warangal/ Surathkal/Calicut? How is the campus life and placements (companies visiting, kind of jobs, average packages)?
I have a friend who studies in the ECE branch at NIT Warangal. I will break down his overall experience into simpler aspects
Academics: The curriculum and academic life at NIT Warangal for ECE students is a bit more challenging than others. Some semesters have too many courses and it’s difficult to get free time. The grades are given a lot of importance and students face tough competition. Also, the faculty is not very approachable.
- Campus life: The campus life of students of all branches is similar. Equal opportunities and facilities are offered and students experience a productive ambiance where they can work on their passions.
- Hostels : The hostel facilities are top-notch and both old and new hostels are available. Students get a home-like feel in these cozy buildings and make friends for life.
- Mess food: Mess food is better than food served in intermediate hostels. However, students can opt for eating out if the food in the mess is unsatisfactory. The eateries outside serve decent food at low prices.
- Sports : The sports culture here is not very prominent and you won’t be forced to be involved in any such activities.
- Extracurricular : A number of clubs promote extracurriculars with ECEA being the most active association.
- Peer group: Your batchmates will be the most hardworking and smartest people in the institute so peer group quality should be the last thing to worry about.
- Placements : Both core and non-core placement opportunities are offered to ECE students. Here are the detailed stats for the same

Is ragging a big issue in NITC?
Yes, there are some ragging issues at NIT Calicut but it is not serious.
- When you arrive on the campus, there will be a casual junior-senior interaction. You should try to get associated with the seniors of your state, it is important to listen to them and also act a little bit of jolly with them.
- They can ask you to do some tasks for them. Once you get in their side, you can do anything on the campus. This is often referred to as State in.
- Then, there is State out, where you will need to work harder a bit more. You may not get a fresher party but will definitely have some peace of mind.
In the end, you should need not fear the ragging because the seniors cannot do anything serious as NITC has strict measures against that.
How is CSE at NIT Calicut like?
CSE is the best branch at NIT Calicut for your B.Tech. It has the best placement record and highest packages among all the branches. The course structure is such that you will have plenty of free time at your disposal. There is less workload and fewer classes in CSE. The faculty is filled with experienced and supportive teachers.
You should visit the department’s website. Also check out the course curriculum and syllabi online to get a fair idea of the academics and what courses/books you will be studying.
If you want to pursue B.Tech CSE, you can definitely consider doing it from NIT Calicut.
Which is better, mechanical at BITS Pilani Hyderabad or ECE at NIT Calicut?
Both the colleges are really good and come with their own tags. In one, you will have the NITian tag and the other will give you a BITS tag. In the end, you will have to make a choice between the branch and which one you like more.
If you are interested in coding and electronics, ECE will be a good fit for you. If you are good with fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and like hands-on work with machines, mechanical is another really good option.
With ECE, you will probably end up working in core firms that are IT-based. You should figure out what kind of life you are looking for and what field you want to study.
What are the best things for NIT Calicut students to do on weekends?
Here are some things you can do at NIT Calicut to make the most of your free time-
To keep yourself busy, you can join karate classes. This will keep you active. If you are into video games, you will always find others to join you. You can watch late night movies and tv series with friends. You will surely end up cooking some maggie in your kettle when late night hunger strikes. You can go cycling during the weekends, in the morning. But make sure to take proper care and use proper bicycles because the roads in Kattangal are very steep. Apart from all this, if you wish to explore a bit, you can visit IIM Kozhikode or Munnar/ Kochi.
All that I listed up till now are fun activities. But for a more productive weekend, you can read novels or take part in quizzes and prepare for those. You can also be a member of a club at NIT Calicut. By organizing club events, you can connect with various people and learn management skills.
If you are a CSE student, your workload will be quite less at NIT Calicut. Thus, you will get plenty of free time. You can use this leisure time by participating in extracurriculars, learning a new skill and making memories with your friends.
Which is better, BITS Goa or NIT Calicut?
This question sparks a debate among people. You might find some say that even biotechnology at NIT C is better than CSE at BITS Goa; all these are baseless claims. It is strongly suggested to look at the placement statistics before reaching a conclusion.
BITS Goa is way better than NIT Calicut. Forget biotechnology, even CSE at BITS Goa is better than CSE at NIT C.

At NIT C, if you go for biotechnology, you will be placed through mass recruitment in companies like TCS, with a maximum salary of 3 lakhs. These companies have no connection with biotechnology. However, CSE at BITS, Goa can get you placed even at Google. This is definitely not a baseless claim, pre-placement offers and the number of GSOC selections are enough evidence for the same.
Comparing BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani ≥ IIIT Hyderabad. The greater than symbol is only because of how old the institutes are. So finally this goes like BITS Goa ≥ IIIT Delhi ≥ BITS Hyderabad.
How was your experience in NIT Calicut if you are a North Indian?
Here is my experience of staying at NIT Calicut as a North Indian-
- Climate- Kozhikode experiences extreme showers during monsoon season. If you belong to a place where it rarely rains, you will find it even more difficult to adjust to the climate. During summers, scorching heat is accompanied by humidity. Standing under direct sunlight will drench you in sweat.
- Food- The mess food is not good but the vicinity has some restaurants that serve decent food. However, their North Indian meals are not good. The city does have some Punjabi restaurants which will not disappoint you.Non-vegetarians have plenty of mouth-watering delicacies to choose from, but vegetarians have limited food options. I highly recommend shakes from the mini canteen.
- Language- The localities, especially auto drivers, speak only Malayali. Therefore, you will face some inconvenience. Inside the campus, however, people speak and understand English clearly. They can also understand (but not speak) Hindi.
You will feel culture shock when you first arrive at NIT Calicut. But as time goes by, you will start loving this place and your college.
Is CSE better in NIT Calicut or VIT?
I have friends in both institutes, NIT Calicut and VIT Vellore. Based on their experiences, NIT Calicut is a much better choice. Although the institute does not have many permanent faculty and the faculty pool comprises only temporary and assistant professors. However, the other pros overshadow this flaw and make NIT Calicut a preferable choice to VIT.
- There are very minimal restrictions imposed on the students. Only the first-year students have to follow the 7 pm curfew rule, not the second year everyone is free.
- NIT Calicut has well-equipped and designed computer labs with modern instruments. The BTech CSE students get to use high-tech software systems labs.
- As for the placements anyone who is talented and has the skills can get placed with excellent packages.
- NIT Calicut is the best South Indian NIT in terms of food quality and taste.
- NIT Calicut fees are much lower than VIT because the former is a government college while the latter is a private college. So BIT Calicut offers a better ROI.
- NIT Calicut organizes some of the best fests in South India. These are Tathva, the Technical fest, and Ragam, the Cultural fest.
Both the colleges will offer great opportunities so the final decision will depend on your personal preferences
