My brother goes to NIT Calicut so I can give you some insight into their M.Tech VLSI and EDT course. Here are the glimpses of the placement record for the year 2020.

• The placement percentage for the programs MTech Microelectronics and VLSI Design has been 100%. All the 12 registered students got placed.
• The placement percentage for the program MTech Electronics Design Technology has been 71.4%. 10 out of 14 registered candidates got placed.

The average CTC offered to both of these programs is almost similar. Also, the course has a good ROI. M.Tech Microelectronics and VLSI Design is in great demand and it is turning out to be one of the best courses at NIT Calicut.

To be frank enough, your rank 4687 is quite a pretty decent rank. You should have gotten into these colleges in the beginning rounds itself. 

If you have not filled these colleges as per your preferences and are now going to a special round, Then it solely depends on the vacancy of that particular seat. 

But surely if there is any sort of vacancy, then with such a decent rank you will get a seat there. 

One of my friends studied at NIT Calicut and as per him, NIT Calicut is actually great but only for boys.

The first year of college would be hard for everyone because the subjects would be different and tougher.

From the second year of college, the boys will not have any restrictions. They will have a lot of freedom. For girls, the hostel entry timing is 9 pm till night, it has recently been amended from 7 pm. Thus, it would not be so great for girls as they won’t have much freedom as compared to boys.

The academics are going to be hard and tough. There are a lot of rules and regulations, but the students don’t pay much attention. NIT Calicut is changing at a faster pace and it is all getting better. The campus has been expanding, the infrastructure is in progress.

Overall, it would be a great experience to study at NIT Calicut and it would be totally worth it.

One of my friends went to NIT Calicut and he was able to provide some information regarding admission at the institute. 

• If you have completed your standard 12th or equivalent examination in India then for securing a seat at NIT Calicut, you need to appear for the JEE Mains entrance examination. 
• The marks and cutoff greatly vary every year. It also depends on your Home state and Other state categories. If you are from Kerala then you will have a 50% reservation. Thus you will have good chances of getting admissions compared to Other state students.
• In case you are an NRI and completed standard 12th equivalent abroad, you need to clear the SAT with a good score to get a seat at NIT Calicut. In addition to these, there are few seats reserved for the students of SAARC countries.
• If you are from OBC/SC/ST category, you will have a lesser cut-off.

So, you should focus on your preparation to get a good score in JEE Mains in order to get admission at NIT Calicut.

All of the mentioned institutes are very reputed and considered among the top engineering colleges in India. The academics and course curriculum are the best with excellent placement opportunities. A lot of reputed companies are known to visit the campuses with decent salary packages. 

Students take programming very seriously and practice it a lot as it is one of the necessary skills required to become a computer engineer. The companies select students based on their coding skills and knowledge rather than looking for academic credentials. You will be selected based on your profiles on GitHub and Topcoder. Salary packages range from 5-50 LPA depending on your skills and experience. 

I have some friends who have become managers in computer engineering through personal learning and luck too. To rank these colleges, I would put NIT Calicut first, then NIT Surathkal and BITS Goa at last. The NITs are excellent and only the main campus of BITS Pilani is comparable to the NITs. 

Every college has its own methods to train students. SPA is focused mostly on the market requirement and less focus on detailed analytical studies. IITs and NITs do not have undergraduate courses but if you want to pursue post-graduation courses then they are the best.

NIT Calicut is one of the best options due to the highly qualified faculty members and the major focus of the college is towards the holistic development of students. The atmosphere is also very familiar to live in Calicut. 

Go for NIT Calicut if you have a Bachelor’s degree in Planning. You can practice various analytical methods especially demanded in the market today that can give you an edge over others.

First of all, I want to clarify that there is no such branch called CSC in either BITS Pilani or NIT Calicut. Both the colleges have Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) degrees 

• BITS Pilani is a top private engineering university. However the same cannot be said about its Goa campus. 
• NIT is a brand that is recognized instantly by almost everyone in any part of the country and this gives NIT Calicut a distinct advantage. 
• As it is a government-run college the learning environment is also better due to the better quality of students. 
• Companies also prefer NITs over private engineering colleges. You will get better job opportunities at NIT Calicut.

Hence it is suggested that CSE at NIT Calicut is a much better choice than CSE at BITS Pilani Goa campus.

NIT Calicut provides the best faculty to its students. Every faculty is a Ph.D. in their respective field. Obviously, many faculty have even higher qualifications.

Now if you ask about faculty quality, then it will always differ from person to person. Some will find a faculty very good while some will find the same professor not so good. Opinions differ from student to student. To know the best faculty, you need to join their class yourself.
