Few of my friends attend NIT Calicut and they were able to give me some information regarding the hostel on campus. 

• More than half of the hostel buildings appear to be old and rustic. They were built about 50 years ago but they still serve the basic required standard.
• Apart from your own room, everything else is cleaned almost every day. You will have to clean your room on your own.
• The first-year students are allocated rooms based on a 4 sharing system.
• For the second-year students who reside in hostel C, one room is allocated to three students. For those of the students who reside in Mega, the rooms are allocated on a two-sharing system.
• For third-year students residing in hostels B and C, one room is shared by three students.
• In the fourth year, usually, single rooms are allocated but due to renovation in hostel E, some of the rooms are allocated on a two-sharing basis.
• The food at the messes is sometimes good and sometimes bad. If you are willing to spend some extra money, you can make up for it.
• Internet connectivity is good. On some days the download speed goes up to 12 megabytes per second.
• From the second year onwards, there is no restriction imposed on boys regarding entry/exit time. Girls have permission to stay out till 9 pm.

NIT Calicut hostels are good in comparison to many engineering institutions in the country. You will enjoy your engineering life at the hostels there.

Any professional who is from HR understands exactly what a business requires and manages the whole process from hiring an employee to their exit with talent management & development, compliance, engagement, etc. 

Setting up organizational design and development for organizations are also covered by HR professionals. The employees are just a small aspect of the bigger picture. 

• My friend worked at the corporate compensation team and he used to simply work on his PC all the time. Getting into HR was because of the simple fact that he was good with numbers. 
• MBA programs that offer specialization in HRM, such as XLRI PGDHRM cover all the topics mentioned above in their course work. This is why people for HR roles are taken from XLRI. 
• According to the recent statistics, the major companies coming to the campus for recruiting HR students are McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc. 

Traveling isn't vital for HR professionals unlike what a consultant or salesman would do, the workload is, however, very similar. At the end of the day, that aspect falls on the employer culture rather than the department itself.
