Remarks
I got admission into the National Institute of Technology - Calicut, in 1999 through Madhya Pradesh state-level entrance test called Pre-engineering Test (PET), right after my Class - XII results. Those days, there wasn't the concept of a common entrance exam like AIEEE. So, each state used to conduct their entrance tests wherein some seats would be allocated for each NITs (formerly Regional Engineering College, RECs), based on one's rank in the test and the availability in that NIT, the candidate would have choices. Based on my rank, I got a Civil Engineering graduation seat in NIT-Calicut.
Course Curriculum Overview
Frankly speaking, for my rank I had only two options - NIT - Calicut -Civil, or Electrical in our local private college. My dream was to study in an institution of repute to gain better exposure, not only in studies but overall personality development. So, I took this decision. Faculties were highly qualified and experts in their areas. They followed practical teaching methods blended with theory, making complex topics, interesting and easy-to-understand. Exams were semester-based, so four years courses had 4x2= 8 semesters, each having 6-7 subjects. Exams required a lot of preparation and dedicated effort to secure good marks.
Fees and Financial Aid
NITs had a reasonable and affordable fee structure. Stipends or financial assistance were offered to the needy. Otherwise, for middle-income families, these colleges were a boon - good curriculum and faculty, great placement support, and excellent infrastructure at affordable cost.
Campus Life
Annual fest 'Ragam' was organized each year filled with fun and frolic. Students from other colleges also used to attend to participate in this cultural fest. Besides, there were clubs within the institution for enhancing literary skills, hobbies, sports, and adventure. NIT-Calicut has a rich library housed with books of all engineering streams and subjects, one could learn and clarify their concepts in any smallest of the sections.
