Is NIT Calicut good in ranking?

This is with respect to the NIRF Engineering Rankings 2023. NIT Calicut is ranked 23rd among the top 100 Engineering Colleges in India and 5th among the NITs.

But keeping the rankings aside, NIT Calicut needs major administrative reforms. Its infrastructure is not up to the mark. Some hostels have poor facilities and accommodation problems. All the departments have a shortage of permanent faculties and manage with Ad hoc faculties.There are no fresh appointments for permanent teachers. Only B.Tech CSE, ECE and EEE have good placements. PG and B.Tech core branches suffer from very low placement rates.

Thus, NIT Calicut needs some major reforms in spite of its high rankings.
