Which one is the best, a dual degree in economics at BITS or ECE at NIT Calicut?

NS
Nikita Sharma Posted On : August 25th, 2021
Studied at NIT Calicut (2019)

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. 
Category NIT Calicut BITS
Total Fee 5.42 lakhs 2.3 lakhs
Companies Visited Oracle, Infosys, JP Morgan, etc. Accolite, Aditya Birla, Cummins, etc.
Highest Package 49 LPA 15 LPA
Average Package 15 LPA 8.5 LPA

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.

Is mechanical or ECE better in NIT Calicut?

KS
Karan Solanki Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at NIT Calicut (2019)

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. 
Categories ECE at NIT Calicut
Course Fee 5.42 lakhs
Placement Percentage 89%
Highest CTC 29 LPA
Average CTC 11 LPA
Recruiting Companies Infosys, TCS, Accenture, IBM, etc.

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.

How is the faculty at NIT Calicut?

A
Anonymous Posted On : March 29th, 2026

Faculty to student ratio is around 1:17. I can't name one, Most faculty members are knowledgeable and approachable, though teaching quality varies.Each semester has 1 mid-sem and 1 end-sem, plus assignments ,projects and labs (for continuous evaluation).Typical marking will be 25 - 30% for mid sem , 50% for end sem and 20 -25% internal assessment. Exams are moderately difficult,and a small % of students may fail challenging subjects , but they subsequent exams which will help them to clear the subject within the same semester.
