The answer depends upon whether you are a girl or a boy. Girls from North India are very few in number. Apparently, the number of North Indian girls is almost around 12 or 20, out of 200 girls per year. So, you will have a good bond with them.
The South Indian students are amiable and can assist in times of need. The major upside is that the institute does not have any ragging complaints. However, the food is not up to the mark.
The number of boys in the institute is comparably higher. However, there are complaints of ragging among the boys in NIT Calicut.
So, it depends upon the companions you have in the institute. Having said that, NIT Calicut is an extremely good place otherwise. It has a bunch of helpful and supportive people. Other than that, it comes with amazing cultural and technical fests. You should be open to making friends, despite cultural differences.

Lastly, I will advise that don’t choose an institute based on ranking, as ranking tends to change frequently.
Well, the answer is, it is completely depended on the branch that the student selects. However, the students' board examination and caste percentage also matter a lot in this regard.
Thereby, the actual thing is that if the student is from the OBC category and has 92% in the previous board examination, then only 160 marks are just enough to get right of entry in any decent branch, including Civil, EEE, Mech etc. but, if the student wants to get admission in CSE or ECE, then he or she has to score 180-190, at the minimum.
In the following previous year, cut-off (2020) is listed so that the student could find it beneficial.
