B.Tech in material science in NIT CALICUT is a slightly underrated course as it is newly introduced. NIT Calicut also has an M.Tech course for material science. 

The material science branch in NIT Calicut is a very promising branch despite being an underrated and newly introduced branch and has become an important part of NIT Calicut. This branch also has a dedicated department for nanotechnology. Recently they have made their college proud by preparing and distributing hand sanitizer in the entire campus and also in local sections of society to fight against the coronavirus pandemic. 

The placements of this department are not as great as in the computer science department as it is a newly introduced branch. 

This is a research-oriented branch with a strong alumni network. Material Science is definitely a promising field and offers a lot of opportunities in higher studies. If you love nanoscience then you should go for this course. 

One of my cousins is pursuing MCA from NIT Calicut. Overall it is said to be good, from faculties to facilities offered, MCA at NIT Calicut is very well balanced.

• The core subjects include Digital Electronics, Programming Language, Data Structures, Web Programming, etc. They have great professors. They are helpful and cordial.
• The hostels are huge and beautiful. The MBA hostel is a big building with 4 floors equipped with all the necessary facilities.
• There are six computer labs, which can be accessed at any hour.
• These computer labs provide high-speed internet connectivity and are fully air-conditioned.
• Around a hundred systems are available in these labs for daily practice, tests, and practical exams.

Overall NIT Calicut offers a cozy and cordial environment. You will be given access to utilize the necessary facilities and also get help from respective faculties. Choosing NIT Calicut for MCA will definitely prove to be good for your career.

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.

According to NIRF 2020 Engineering ranking, NIT Calicut is ranked at 23rd position. It is a good sign since in 2017 and 2018 it was ranked at 44th and 50th position, respectively.

But, the decline in ranking that it had to go through was because of the administration. Let us look at this one by one:

• The infrastructure is not good. Hostels are not up to the mark and there are no separate hostels for PG students. The mega hostels have been under construction for so many years. Half of the college campus is forest.

• Very few permanent faculties. Most of the faculties are visiting faculty. Even though faculties keep on retiring, no new permanent appointments are made.

• The placement records are very bad. Core branches don’t even get placed. You can find placement only in the department of CSE, EEE, and ECE.

Hopefully, all this has changed for the better and so has the ranking in 2020. But, it was because of poor administration that the ranking saw a downfall in the past. On the contrary, cut-offs for JEE and GATE have only increased.

The M.Tech program of Environmental Geotechnology at NIT Calicut is an interdisciplinary branch.

In the first semester, you will be taught about Geotechnological Engineering and in the second semester, you will learn about subjects that are in Environmental Engineering such as Groundwater Hydrology.

All in all, this course is more towards the Geotechnical side than the Environmental side. You also have to undertake projects. Usually, most people opt for Geotechnical projects.

Talking about the prospects of the future, L&T has been the only recruiters for some years now they recruited very few students pursuing postgraduate. 

If you want to teach this course in the future, then pursuing it will be a good idea. It is definitely a good course but not the best. Join if you are interested in the course and not for the NIT tag. 

The aspiring candidate should not think about this right now. As we all know, the cutoff trends change every year. If the candidate wants an approximate idea, they need to add +15 marks to the previous year’s cutoff marks. The cutoff marks differ for home and other state students.

Here is the NIT Calicut JEE Main 2020 cutoff.

It is time to stop thinking about the cutoffs and minimum marks and focus on the preparation. One should always prepare for greater marks than the required cutoff.

It depends on the course you're interested in and if you're in the home state category or not. If you are from your native state, you should have a minimum of 130 points; if not, add 20 to 30 points more.

Recent cut-off stats of NIT Trichy for popular courses is given below. 

Anywhere between 200 and 300 will get you a good nit with the branch you're after. So 200 should suffice. 

It is really exciting that people are interested in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. There are many other topics in chemical engineering that you will start loving when you start reading them. 

If you are genuinely interested in the subject then it will completely be your effort in approaching the professors to learn and to study more. 

There are not many professors in the department. Most of them are Ad-hoc teachers who will be teaching the subject. If you wish to go for higher studies, it will be your effort in asking the faculty to help you out. 

If you talk about the placement scenario, there are only a few core companies that visit the campus along with a lot of non-core companies. Overall, college life is good in the department of chemical engineering.
