Both the fields are greatly different. One lets you deal with finance and the other with mobile and technology. It completely depends on your interest.

ECE from NIT Calicut seems to be a better option. Because if you opt for it you will just have to brush up your knowledge on physics and learn more about it. Whereas economics will be a new subject and it will take a lot of time to learn it from scratch.

• In terms of college, BITS is surely a better option than NIT Calicut. But it’s not just about college, an NIT CSE graduate can land a job in Google and earn a lot. 
• Whereas somebody from IIT with Civil would have to compromise as there are not a lot of jobs offered in that field. 
• If you are interested in pursuing M.Tech from India or abroad or if you even want to have a great job, in the beginning, ECE from NIT Calicut is the best option. 
• But if you want to learn economics from scratch and pursue it to become an economist then economics is also a good option. 

Therefore, you must look into your interests and not opt for anything which just looks good. ECE is a circuit line and jobs are plenty in them too. So taking up ECE at NIT Calicut is a better option.

One of my friends is a student of NIT Calicut and according to him, the CS department is the best in the institute. It is also among the top 3 CS branches in NITs. 

• The faculties for the CS branch are excellent. They have years of experience in the field. 
• NIT Calicut also has a good placement record for their CS branch. Here are the recent placement highlights for the institute. 

Overall, NIT Calicut offers a great CS program. 

According to some of my friends studying at NIT Calicut, the ECE branch is better in placements than the Mechanical Engineering branch.

• The placement greatly depends on the Aptitude and Academic record of the candidate. 
• The Teaching quality of both of these departments is not so good. 
• The candidate needs to work by themselves. The faculty might not be cooperative.
• Other than just depending on library books, candidates can prepare by learning from the internet as per the syllabus. 
• It is important to know that the departments are very strict about their attendance policy. 80% attendance is mandatory for all students. 

Only of the bright thing at NIT Calicut is that the exams are conducted only from the taught portions of the professors and not the whole syllabus. The course curriculum is a bit old and not current industry-oriented. The campus life, facilities and hostels are good. Students here have a decent college life with less extravaganza.
