Life at NITC by Vimosh Kumar

The couse is well designed to understand the real world applications and is designed in a way that all the subjects we read from the first year just pile up and help us build concept the chronological order is actually very good. The exams and the paper checking are a bit tough but contrary to that the marking scheme is relative so iti depends upon who scores the most.

Students in 7th and 8th semester are eligible to sit for campus placements. Companies like Oracle, Goldman Sachs, L&T, Bajaj, Caterpillar and PSU's like BEL,HPCL and BPCL come to the college usually the coding companies offer aroung 35-40 LPA CTC and the core PSU companies offer around 17-18 LPA. Highest Package is 51 LPA and an Average Package of 12 LPA. Nearly 85% students from Circuit and CS branch get placed and around 60% in core branches who sit for placements, My plans after getting the degree is to join MBA to learn how business world works and how the money flows

I wanted to get into Mechanical Engineering in any of the top NIT's so applied for all the NIT's in the NIRF ranking order with mechanical in every college so after the counselling happened to get into NIT Calicut. The admission process is through JoSAA Counselling where students come to the college after getting alloted but before that the student needs to clear the JEE Main Exam to get admitted into the college. And one has to do PCM in their 12th. Cutoff is Generally Between 97-98.5 percentile for General Student to get Mechanical Engineering

The faculty to student ratio is around 1:15 to 1:20. Generally faculty relationship is good and approachable especially during office hours and lab sessions. Likes Dr.Jacob Koshy Sir for his way of teaching and his calmness in answering the questions and Dr.Nidhi baranwal mam for her way of explaining things. There is no one I don't like everyone is approachable There are Mid-Semester exams of 30 marks and Internals which has assignments, projects and quizzes of 20 marks and in the End the End-Semester Exam for 50 Marks. The paper level is made to the top level and consider the difficulty the paper is moderate to difficult. Depending on the subject the number of students fail does vary. Like Thermodynamics has nearly 50 failures out of 220 and some easy subjects like Fluid machinery had 20 failures

There is a In-Campus GYM which is okay but another GYM located at Mega Hostel boys is a very big GYM equipped with proper setup, there are many cafeterias inside campus like Milma Hotel,Cochin Bakery, Amul Shop and the kattangal area has everything you need. Library closes at 12 and there is a very big computer center to study. Hostel timings only for 1st years after that no timings. Places like Bake House, Food Bang, Juice arena etc and yes it's safe to roam outside at night.
