Is it possible to change branches after the first year at NIT Calicut?

SR
Shweta Roy Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in Calcutta

NIT Calicut has some of the most illogical rules regarding branch change, some of these include:

  • To be eligible for branch change at NIT Calicut, one needs to score CGPA of 8+
  • Only 2 2 people are eligible to transfer to another branch from a specific branch.
  • Only two incoming transfers are allowed per branch.

As a result of this ridiculous policy, a more deserving candidate fails to change his branch. For example, someone with CGPA 9 could not change his branch because he was the 3rd topper of his branch while someone with a CGPA 8.8 can change his branch if he is the topper of his branch. 

So, branch change at NIT Calicut depends a lot on your CGPA and obviously your luck!

Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario.

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes 

Particulars

IGDTUW BTech CSE

NIT Calicut BTech CSE

Batch Strength

148

Students Placed

98

148

Highest CTC

INR 55 LPA

67.62 LPA

Average CTC

20.54 LPA

Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW.

Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!

Why are the placements for B.Tech Civil Engineering so low in NIT Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

The following are some possible reasons why the placements for B.Tech Civil Engineering may be relatively low compared to other branches at NIT Calicut.

  1. Limited job opportunities: Civil engineering is a field that relies heavily on the government and public sector for job opportunities. Therefore, if there are fewer job openings in the public sector, it may result in lower placements for civil engineering students.
  2. Specialization: Civil engineering is a vast field with many specializations. It's possible that the students specializing in certain areas within civil engineering, such as construction management or structural engineering, have better job prospects than those in other areas.
  3. Regional demand: The demand for civil engineers can vary depending on the region. It's possible that the job market for civil engineering in the region where NIT Calicut is located is not as strong as in other regions.
  4. Economic conditions: The economic conditions of the country can also affect the job market for civil engineers. During an economic downturn, there may be a decrease in construction activity and infrastructure projects, which can lead to lower job opportunities for civil engineering graduates.

It's important to note that these are just possible reasons and may not necessarily be the only factors affecting the placement statistics of B.Tech Civil Engineering at NIT Calicut.

Why are the placements for Btech Civil Engineering so low in Nit Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

Civil engineering has lost its charm after the IT industry has taken over. The placement statistics of the branch have witnessed a drastic decline over the past few years. In 2022, the NIT Calicut BTech Civil Engineering recorded the following figures

Students Placed 

86 out of 98

Highest CTC

INR 11.4 LPA

Average CTC

INR 7.36 LPA

The primary reason for the poor placement scenario is the lack of industry in that specific location. Other South Indian NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal offer better industry exposure and have more promising scenarios. NIT Calicut lacks transport facilities so most construction companies prefer visiting the nearest NIT rather than traveling all the way to Calicut. Another reason for the poor placement scenario here is the low performance of the senior batches of the branch. 

However, the situation is gradually improving as the institute has been adopting measures to support students pursuing internships at IITs and other industries.

Which one is better, doing CSE at NIT Calicut or NIT Jaipur?

TD
Tania Dey Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
B.Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur (2019)

The list should be something like this, and this is not a fixed one; it may vary year by year.

NIT Trichy>NIT Surathkal>NIT Warangal>MNNIT Allahabad>MNIT Jaipur /NIT Calicut>SVNIT Surat / NIT Nagpur>MANIT Bhopal / NIT Kurukshetra / NIT Rourkela>NIT Durgapur / NIT Jamshedpur>NIT Jalandhar/ NIT Delhi>NIT Raipur/ NIT Hamirpur.

I would like to suggest MNIT Jaipur. 

  • CSE at MNIT Jaipur is one of the finest when compared with all the NITs.
  • The faculty is good and the facilities are amazing, in terms of labs, connectivity, etc.
  • One can really expect steeper increases in placements and their packages in the coming years.
  • It is great in terms of crowd diversity.

Now let us take a look at NIT Calicut:

  • NIT Calicut is the better-ranked college when it comes to NITs.
  • It is better reputed when it comes to classroom teaching and academic details.
  • Extra-Curricular activities are also encouraged a lot.
  • There’s ample free time to engage in clubs.
  • Coming to CSE, the placements of Calicut are much better than NIT Jaipur as well.

CSE at MNIT Jaipur is a much better option than any core branch in the top 3 NITs - especially if your career plans are job-oriented and you want to work comfortably at least a few years right after you graduate.

The strength of any institute comes from its very own students. Students achieve and the institute flourishes. Students do their best and the institute counts.

So choice is yours. Take your time and make your decision on the basis of your instinct and where and how you see yourself in upcoming life.

What is the one thing you regret not doing in your BTech life at NIT Calicut?

AS
Abhimanyu Singh Posted On : April 13th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

There are a bunch of things that you should do before you graduate from NIT Calicut which might sound simple and silly but worth looking back down the memory lane.

  • Scaling on the rooftop of MB and spending a night there chilling with your squad.
  • Spend some more nights doing midnight conversations with your friends.
  • Go on as many trips as you can when you still are out of your work-life pressure.
  • Complete your major project on time so that you can spend those final days of your college life stress-free and by doing things that you love. 
  • Conduct thorough research on the company where you got placed so that you don't have to regret your decision later on. Look for outside job opportunities too. You never know about the best things which await you outside, especially in the CSE field.
  • Never miss a DJ night at a basketball stadium.
  • Take a midnight ride to Kappad. Serene beaches there will surely mesmerize you. A clean and empty beach with only a few locals is a perfect spot to get away with your friends.
  • Take a long stroll at night on your campus and admire its beauty when you are still there.

Tick all the things to do in your bucket list before graduating from Calicut. You never know what you will regret not doing when you still are a student.

Which is better: IT at NITK or CSE at NITC?

KS
Khushi Sharma Posted On : August 21st, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

NIT Surathkal IT is far superior to NIT Calicut. It is well-known in India for its CSE/IT branches. It is a highly regarded engineering college in India, and after four years of B.Tech college, the specific branch does not matter.

NITK outperforms Calicut in terms of reputation and placements. Furthermore, because of the higher cutoffs, the quality of students may be slightly higher here.

IT at NITK is nearly equivalent to CSE here. During placements, nearly all companies open to CS are open for IT as well.

Categories IT at NITK CSE at NITC
Course fee 5.40 lakhs 5.42 lakhs
Placement rate 92% 85%
Average salary package 8 LPA 8.1 LPA
Highest salary package 35 LPA 36 LPA

The subjects taught and the syllabus in both departments are also similar. In fact, the IT department may be slightly better than the CS department in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as it is newer. Previously, the quality of students in CS was higher than in IT, but with significant increases in IT cutoffs, both are now equally good.
