My Sweet - Sour College Review

I was an NRI student and hence using the DASA (Direct Admission for Students Abroad) Scheme was my best shot at getting into top tier Engineering Colleges in India.I had to write the SAT 2 exam, I scored a total of 2110/2400. A decent score with which I could get into most NIT's but couldn't apply for the most preferred course being Computer Science Engineering. I choose NIT, Calicut due to the closeness of the Institute from my home town. Electrical and Electronics Engineering was my preferred choice due to my interest in Physics as such from my grades 10th - 12th.Academics wise it is a great institute, however you have to be super attentive. Cause a few portions missed and you'll find it really hard to cope up towards the end of it all. Also one shouldn't take their academics too light cause if you plan on studying there you should make complete name value of the institute else if you have varied interests in my opinion you should just drop out and focus on your interests rather than trying take it all together.Co-curricular wise it is a great institute, they have some great people and a bunch of excellent clubs, communities and sport & cultural teams. In that sense it is a very happening institute and you get to learn a lot.

Course Curriculum is very diverse. Very intense curriculum, however if you're into Electrical Engineering you'll enjoy it. If not it's going to be extremely hard to cope up if you don't pay attention when required to pay attention. Faculty to student ratio is around 1:15. Most associate professors have a PhD. Very interactive professors, they try to keep you up to date with ongoing trends. Some faculties don't have the patience and hence might seem very intimidating. However I assume that's prevalent in most institutes.We had 3 exams, Test-1, Test-2 and End Semester exams. It's standard continuous evaluation procedure.Labs are a little outdated.

If you have a decent GPA post graduation, there is a good chance of getting placed. We have a very strong Training and Placement cell. Placement percentages are very high. Especially if you're in the Computer Science Branch.

Since I was a NRI student my fee structure varied. I was paying close to Rs 5,00,000/year. No on campus jobs, however you can always apply for online internships to make money on the side. Side internships provide good source of income.

Co-curricular wise it is a great institute, they have some great people and a bunch of excellent clubs, communities and sport & cultural teams. In that sense it is a very happening institute and you get to learn a lot.List of Clubs:1. Dance and Dramatics2. Literary and Debating Club3. Indian Cultural Association.4. Adventure club5.
