You would first decide whether it is a good option to do Engineering Physics, then no matter whichever college you choose. It is important that you know a few details before making a final decision about college.

About the course: 

• Engineering Physics is a 4-year programme whose course commences in the first year and for three years you will study the same structure as of BSc-Physics. 
• It includes Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, etc. But in Engineering Physics practical knowledge is given more importance which will help you gaining extermination knowledge. 

Placements:

• A career after Engineering Physics is not promising. You cannot expect to get a place on campus with an Engineering Physics degree. 
• There are not many companies that have the Engineering Physics job requirement. 
• Most of the companies have different recruitment processes which cannot be done on-campus, except government firms like DRDO, BARC, etc.

You should not lose hope as college faculties and alumni help students in getting placed by identifying your interest. 

Scope:

• Some students after completing Engineering Physics go for an MSc course and get into research and join IITs or institutes such as BARC. 
• To get good opportunities you have to work hard and keep taking GRE, GATE, and other exams to clear it. 
• If you do not want to go for research, then you can join a non-engineering job or can go for TFI etc.

Therefore, if you have an interest in Engineering Physics and ready to work hard then go for it. It will surely pay you well. Most of the college faculties also help students in getting placed, so do not worry much about it.

In terms of the research field, there are almost no placements opportunities in Engineering Physics at NIT Calicut. The only companies where you will be are allowed to apply for the placements are in the Consultancy services, Sales, etc. 

Basically, we can say that NIT Calicut has nothing to offer to the students of Physics. If you want a decent job, then you should work on your coding skills else, you will have to do the basic 8-7 jobs.

You can also apply for IIT JEE coaching institutes as these companies offer better salaries and less workload. If you wish to pursue higher studies in the future, you can get a side job at one of these coaching institutes and prepare for your entrance exams. This way you will be in touch with your subject and earn part-time.
