First of all, you need to understand what you want. Do you want higher education or a placement? Then ask yourself whether you want only computer science because you love the subject or simply because you want a good placement.

• If you love computer science, then do not worry and join NIT Calicut. You will learn it in an elaborate way and can then pursue a master’s or doctorate degree. 
• The fee at NIT Calicut is also lower than that of BITS Pilani.
• However, if you are like the majority of people who want CSE for placements, then I would suggest you consider BITS Pilani or any of its other campuses. 
• You have to understand that a CSE degree is not compulsory to learn to code. 
• If you join ECE or ENI programs and learn to code yourself. You can easily land a job in any IT company. 
• The salary package you will receive at BITS Pilani (any campus) will be better than that of NIT Calicut.
• The college life of BITS Pilani will also be very good. 
• You will not have the pressure of attendance. 
• There are lots of extra-curricular activities you can participate in also.

ENI and ECE are technically different branches but they are almost the same. Except for the high fee of BITS Pilani, I do not feel BITS Pilani or Goa campus is anything less worthwhile than NIT Calicut. In fact, if you want only placements, then BITS Pilani any campus should be your choice.

The facilities that you will get from Technology Business Incubator (TBI) at NIT Calicut are as follows. 

• Technological Consultancy: It assists in identifying and evaluating the technology and its know-how.
• Business Facilitation: Includes pre-feasibility study, techno-economic studies, project appraisal, and market research.
• Training facility: As per the prospective entrepreneur’s requirement, training is provided in the specialized technical areas, Entrepreneurship Development or Management.
• Infrastructural Facilities: It includes fully-furnished buildings for all purposes with good network and connectivity, office support, and other facilities like meeting room, fax, copier, etc. Necessary technical support is provided by the faculty of NITC. In the field of management, IIM faculty provides support.

In addition to this, you will also get

• Outstanding brand image
• Good infrastructure at minimal cost
• Excellent alumni network
• Institutional support
• An effective governing body along with an advisory committee having financial management, industrial and institutional support.

As of now there are thirteen incubate companies at TBI. Some of which are as follows.

• Z-Beanz Technologies
• Infinite Open Source Solutions LLP
• Shanshin Softech
• Fortis India
• Choice India- A Rubber Product
• Burgeon Technologies
• Sine Lab Technologies

So, these are the facilities that you will get from TBI at NIT Calicut. 

In comparison to BITS Hyderabad’s EEE, NIT Calicut’s CSE, the latter would be considered a better option. However, it is entirely up to you whether you want to pursue IT jobs or electrical hardware jobs. 

• The NIT Calicut CSE batch had a 100% placement record. 
• They were offered the highest salary package of 40 LPA.
• The department of computer science is regarded as one of the best in the institute. 
• Many well reputed companies such as Direct I, Morgan Stanley and over a hundred other multinational corporations (MNCs) come to campus for recruitment. 
• When it comes to the overall development of a student NIT Calicut provides a plethora of opportunities during the tech fest TATHVA and the cultural fest RAGAM.

Tabulated difference between NIT Calicut CSE or BITS Hyderabad EEE are:

As I am not much familiar with BITS Hyderabad, I am not able to share details about the college. I had some of my friends graduating from NIT Calicut so I was able to share these details. Therefore, I believe CSE from NIT Calicut is the better option. You can interact with ex-students of BITS Hyderabad to get a proper overview of the college.

If you are a Civil student, my advice to you would be to prepare for the GATE exam once you are done with your degree. The placement is quite low for core companies. Many students also follow the same.

Chemical students are known to focus on jobs and have a good placement in analytics and software-based companies. Many of the top ones also land core jobs.

My suggestion would be to check the syllabus and pick the subject you like. You will realize which subject has good scope and what does not. As far as Civil is concerned, most students land jobs at L&T. But, they will make you work a lot and you will not be satisfied with the pay. This is not the case with Chemical engineering.

Chemical Engineering and ECE, both the branches are in demand. The major scope of Chemical Engineering is in chemical, food processing, pharma, medical industries, oil, and gas, etc.

The major scope of ECE is in android, mobile, and telecommunication. The majority of the students prefer ECE because of two reasons. The first reason being comfort. Secondly, after acquiring skills in programming languages, it is easy to switch to the IT or software field.

Here is a brief overview of CE at NIT Calicut and ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.

If you don’t have any particular inclination towards any branch you can go for ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.

One of my friends studied at NIT Calicut and as per him, NIT Calicut is actually great but only for boys.

The first year of college would be hard for everyone because the subjects would be different and tougher.

From the second year of college, the boys will not have any restrictions. They will have a lot of freedom. For girls, the hostel entry timing is 9 pm till night, it has recently been amended from 7 pm. Thus, it would not be so great for girls as they won’t have much freedom as compared to boys.

The academics are going to be hard and tough. There are a lot of rules and regulations, but the students don’t pay much attention. NIT Calicut is changing at a faster pace and it is all getting better. The campus has been expanding, the infrastructure is in progress.

Overall, it would be a great experience to study at NIT Calicut and it would be totally worth it.

All of the mentioned institutes are very reputed and considered among the top engineering colleges in India. The academics and course curriculum are the best with excellent placement opportunities. A lot of reputed companies are known to visit the campuses with decent salary packages. 

Students take programming very seriously and practice it a lot as it is one of the necessary skills required to become a computer engineer. The companies select students based on their coding skills and knowledge rather than looking for academic credentials. You will be selected based on your profiles on GitHub and Topcoder. Salary packages range from 5-50 LPA depending on your skills and experience. 

I have some friends who have become managers in computer engineering through personal learning and luck too. To rank these colleges, I would put NIT Calicut first, then NIT Surathkal and BITS Goa at last. The NITs are excellent and only the main campus of BITS Pilani is comparable to the NITs.
