Why is getting transcripts from Calicut University so expensive?
When you apply for the first time for transcripts, it only costs 500 rs, and each additional copy costs 10 rs. The first copy remains the same the second time, while each additional copy costs 10 rupees.
The huge increase of 90 rs for additional copies in 6 months is intolerable. Questioning the authority is pointless because they never provide a proper response.
The management system at Calicut is overly bureaucratic. If you go to them with a question, they will ask you to go to another person, and so on. You will not be held accountable for anything. Thus, it is extremely expensive to get transcripts.
How many chances are there for the supplementary exam at Calicut University?
At Calicut University, you have five years to finish your degree, and after paying the fine, you can write your supplementary exams. If you have a supplementary in one of the two other subjects, or both, you will have to work much harder because they are very strict.
You must be neat, practice a lot, and work on your writing skills. It all comes down to presentation. Have a good copy. Please don't cross things out too frequently, because if you already have a supplementary, chances are you'll get one again if you don't do it neatly.
Why is Calicut University so cruel?
Calicut University has worth, which is why it is still in running. Some students enter college and, after a year, succumb to depression due to personal reasons, despite having been good students in the school with over 85% marks. Nonetheless, they fail in a few semesters.
Exams are not held on time, and results are not delivered on time. Only book nerds find it easy to pass with passing grades. This university is not thought to be for the underprivileged. You simply must be patient and work extremely hard to avoid becoming trapped in such a situation. Studying one or two weeks before an exam will not help in any way.
Is going to Calicut University by train or bus the easiest and comfortable from Thrissur?
Buses are more frequent than trains and you can get down right at the University Bus Stop. On a normal day with minimal traffic it takes around 3-4 hours.
Private Bus- not safe (Cost INR 90-95)
KSRTC buses- safe but not comfortable (Cost- INR 100)
AC Volvo buses- comfortable but expensive (Cost- INR 200)
Trains are delayed and less frequent than buses. You will have to get down at Parappanangadi, or at Calicut, and then take a bus to the University.
Express trains- INR 50
Superfast- INR 65
Passenger- INR 25
At 8.10 AM, there is the Ernakulam-Kannur Intercity Express that one can board. It reaches Parappanangadi between 10 and 10.30 AM. There’s also the Pune SF/ Lokamanya Tilak/ Nizamuddin SF at 6.20 AM from Thrissur. So you will have to get down at Tirur and Calicut. A third option is the Cannanore Passenger that starts from Thrissur at 5.55 AM. As it is too early, it’s suitable for people who are cutting down on expenses.
Where can I find a single room for rent near Calicut University (Kozhikode)? How much will it cost?
There are many paid guest facilities in and around the university. Two of them are highly recommended.
-
Deepthi Cultural Center - This place is run by CMI fathers. It is cost-effective and well-furnished. It can be reached from the back of the University and is close to the Languages Block. It is suitable for both men and women. It has a variety of single as well as shared rooms.
-
Malanad - This one resembles an expensive lodge. For women, there is a hostel-like facility. For men, it is more expensive. It is within walking distance of a few minutes from the front of the University. It’s located at a place called Chenakkal.
These places are cost-effective, nearby and well-equipped. You can also hail an auto from the University Bus Stop to reach these places.

Are there revaluation and improvement exams for Calicut University? What about other Indian universities, do they have them too?
If you have failed or not attained the expected marks you can always apply for a revaluation paper. One of my friends failed an exam and after applying for revaluation got an A grade. However, the entire situation affected his placement procedure.
The exam schedule and results are disorganized at Calicut University.
The 1st sem exam will be held in the 3rd sem, 2nd sem exam in 4th sem, 3rd sem after two months of 2nd sem exam, 4th sem exam in 5th sem and the rest of the exams will be on time. Lastly, the consolidated certificate will be granted on time but the original certificate will take a lot of time.
