NIT Calicut home of Celebrations and Knowledge

The curriculum was perfectly planned, I did B.Arch, and their faculties are superb, with field experience. I chose this course due to my passion for Architecture. For each set of 20 students, we had a faculty. They all have one Ph.D. and field exp. and then came to teach us. Things were always standard for exams and were of decent level.

I was working as an Intern at Architect Hafeez Contractor, where I worked for five months on several projects. NITC as a technical college has many options for internships, and mostly the companies give PPO and take those interns back.

We have an amzing placement cell with opportunitires from training to placements in firms, like, JP Morgan, L&T, Exxon Mobil, etc. They start this from the pre-final year ends and run over a year. Package differs with each year, starting with 3-4 LPA and going to 60-80 LPA as well. More than 70 % get placed for sure, many go for master's and gov jobs as well. I graduated with a degree and a Gold Medal, placed at L&T.

The state government provides several scholarships and, then college had a few for students from the lower economy section. Fees are centralized by gov. and are at a moderate level. I got placed at L&T Constructions with the help of CCD-NITC.

Campus life is awesome, with many clubs and activities happening throuhout the year. Tathva is the annual tech fest and Ragam was the Cultural fest, I was in the Program Committe of the same. We have both in-house and digital libraries with well-equipped resources. Classes have centralized AC, and lecture complexes are well-planned with enough seating spaces, new amenities like a sports complex and a hostel for international students are under development. NITC has all the sports you need, with its own playgrounds and swimming pool. Interface, ICA, LnD, DnD, etc are sych clubs run by students with a SAC, Students Affairs Council at its back.

The admission process was centralized and online, through JEE Portal, JOSAA. I took JEE 20178 and secured a good rank, don't remember the cutoff, but I scored well. NAT is now the organizing body, you can find details here for JEE. I didn't have reservation benefits. I would prefer, a buddy, who can be assigned to me while the counseling starts to know the process step by step and guide me.
