Academic and social life at NITC.
Placements: Around 80-90% of students get placed, with the highest package being around 30 LPA and the lowest being around 7 LPA. Top companies like Texas Instruments and Goldman Sachs come for placements. So far, only 3-4 students have gotten internships from Texas and other companies. The roles offered were Software Engineer and others.
Infrastructure: The hostel is very good, especially when compared with other colleges. The Wi-Fi and washrooms are good, and the rooms are very good. The college infrastructure is good, and the labs and classrooms are decent and well-equipped. The food is decent, and canteens are available. Sports and gaming are also fine. The faculty is very good.
Faculty: The faculty is very good and is very helpful if we approach them correctly. All the teachers are qualified, and the course is very relevant and practical, which makes sense because the students are industry-ready. However, the semester is difficult compared to other colleges, and the pass percentage is only about 40% per subject.
Other: The crowd and campus life at NITC is good. If you make friends, it is a lot of fun. The events and fests are a lot of fun.

This year, 85% of the students were placed, and the overall placement percentage was 85%. The highest, lowest, and average salaries were 34.1 LPA, 3.5 LPA, and 8 LPA, respectively. Adani Group and Aditya Birla Group were the top recruiters. Most of the students got internships, with 75-80% of them being placed.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi speed is good, and the labs, classrooms, and library are up to the mark. The quality of the food is super, but the taste is not that good if you like your food spicy. Every sport is available, and a gym is also available. A health center is available where you can go and get treated and take medicine for free.
Faculty: The teaching quality at this college is excellent, and the teachers were very helpful. The curriculum is relevant, but you need to do some additional work to be industry-ready. The curriculum changed in 2023, and the core subjects are now offered from the first semester onwards. The pass percentage is 90%.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty and good infrastructure.
Placements: Many people got placements and to get placement you need at least a 7 CGPA. Everywhere it's the same thing and it's pretty hard for an average student to get placements usually in higher packages but can try hard and get it.
Infrastructure: Everything is good. Sports and medical facilities are good. Mess and canteens are not so good but we can manage and coming to mess food, the taste is not constant some days it good and rest its uneatable but it's fine because we have so many messes and canteens.
Faculty: Semester exams are so hard. So we prepare deeply to score good or average marks and that's pretty hard to score in semester exams. Also, the internals are pretty hard and moderate sometimes but we need to cope with the syllabus which they have been teaching.
Other: Fests like Ragam N Tathva are good and we too have clubs. They gonna keep many Fests in college so that we can have fun and enjoy ourselves.

No better choice in india.
Placements: If you want a good placement rate, architecture is not for you in the first place. But NITC is ranked as one of the best architecture colleges in the country, and it is so for a reason. Faculty and facilities both are top-notch, and the campus is beautiful, and the course is great.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, indoor badminton courts, basketball courts, volleyball court, football courts, canteens, hostel facility with Wi-Fi, are common facilities. Arch depth is one of the best buildings on the campus as well. The campus life is great with all kinds of programs as well.
Faculty: The course is excellent, with the best faculty you can have, but the course is very hectic and tiring. If you do not have a passion for it, you will be in for a rough couple of years. But if you hold on for a few, the course gets so interesting that you will have the best time, I can assure you that.

It is the best college because of faculty members.
Placements: Placements here are good, but not perfect. The highest salary package offered was 31 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 14 LPA. I am not sure about the companies, but sometimes the placement rates are high, though not every time. It is still a better college for placements compared to many local colleges.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure here is full of trees and enjoys frequent rains. Those who like this rainy condition can join here. The weather is very good. Hostel rooms do not have Wi-Fi, but they have Ethernet connections for PCs and laptops. Hostel room structure is good.
Faculty: Faculty members here at NIT Calicut are good, but not perfect. It is okay to join here as it is better than many other colleges, but not all. Exams are tough, but solving them helps boost memory. Teachers are kind and supportive.
