My college

While the institution follows a standard fee structure about 1.25 lakhs per sem and many other one time deposits fees , there have been significant and uncontrollable fees hike over past three years which raises many queries. Also NITC offers a variety of scholarships like EWS, Egrantz and many other minor scholarships.

Student Snaps:

Tution fees per year was 60k and hostel fees was 63k per year. We need to pay them semester wise. Students were also eligible to apply for scholarships like reliance,NSP,FFE etc....based on their reservation and annual income. Students whose annual income was below one lakh are eligible to more scholarships

Navigating the Academic Odyssey: An Insight into Life at NIT Calicut

The fees for my course at NIT Calicut, taking into account reservation, hover around 2-3 lakhs per year. However, it's noteworthy that NIT Calicut implements a gradual increase in prices, particularly for hostel and mess fees. This incremental approach, though beneficial in managing expenses, can still pose a burden on students. Despite this, the overall fees structure remains reasonable, aligning with the quality of education and facilities provided at the institution.

NIT CALICUT

Here the fee structure varies based on the family income of the student. The student with a family income of more than 5 lakh wants to pay semester fees of around 62.5k.If the income is between 1 lakh and 5 lakh the fees are around 25k (approximate). if the income is below 1 lakh the semester is around 4000. There are many scholarships are provided. Egrants(for OBC and SC/ST students) are one of them, which reduces the hostel fees and mess fees. There are many companies that offers internship with stipend like kalliyath TMT, nestle etc

A Review about NITc

First years don't have internships. Overall fees for BTech will be approx 6 lakh including the hostel fee. Fees reduction is there for students whose families' annual income is less than 5 lakh. Students can also apply for NSP scholarships and other scholarships. All the details regarding these will be informed by the academics themselves.
