Remarks
The college is very good in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.
Entrance Preview
Architecture department in NIT Calicut is one of the best in South India. The course is more technically oriented than towards the drawings. This will enable the students to get more technical knowledge through rigorous exercises and training, which will help to specialize in more technical fields later on.
Placement Experience
Placements in Architectural is comparatively less than other engineering branches in NIT Calicut. The major reason being the lack of interest among students. Many students start their individual firms or prefer to go for higher studies. But every year few students get placed in LnT and KITCO regularly.
College Events
The major events are TATHVA and RAGAM. There are department wise events and programs for TATHVA and an Architectural fest ADIZYA will also be conducted during TATHVA week. There will be Pro Shows at night and technical programs and competitions in the morning. During RAGAM there will be cultural programs, competitions and night shows.

Campus Life

Alumni/Alumna
Yes, The seniors and alumni networks are very important, especially in Architecture department. This will be more helpful during case studies, internships etc.
Admission
The admission process to get in to Architecture of National Institute of Technology Calicut is through Joint Entrance Examination Main merit currently. When I was taking admission the selection was based on the ranking in All India Engineering Entrance Examination Paper 2.
Faculty
The permanent faculties in Department of Architecture were good and there were many temporary faculties or Adhoc faculties. These faculties are mostly inexperienced teachers. So they are guided by the permanent faculties to conduct the courses. The labs and the studio classes were handled by more than one faculty.
