Kerala is my home state, and I'm from obc ncl how much should I score in jee mains to get admission in cse at nit calicut

This is a bit difficult to predict the marks/percentile/rank required in JEE mains to get a seat as cut off keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

In round 6 of josaa counselling 2020 , the obc category closing rank for gender neutral for nit calicut provided below for homestate :-

Computer science :- 3482 obc category rank

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

And to get 3482 obc rank, you need at least around 140 marks .For rank vs marks vs percentile you can refer to our page for which link is provided below:-

How much marks should I bring to get civil in NIT calicut (obc) not homestate.

Being from Other State Category, secondly having OBC Advantage, you will must target atleast 7.5k OBC Rank to secure Civil at NIT Calicut. For OBC Rank, 7.5k, you need a CRL of around 30-35k. For this range you must target anywhere between 96.8-97.2 Percentile in JEE Main or 130-140/300 as Score Target.

which is best nit calicut or praygraj for civil engineering. (homestate)=up

Dear aspirant ,

Undoubtedly nit Calicut would be the best option for you for civil engineering as the placement stats of nit calicut are far better than prayagraj for civil engineering. The average package in this branch in nit Calicut is around 6-6.5L and stats for prayagraj is not mentioned.

nit Calicut civil or Andhra University Visakhapatnam cse which is better

Hello,

NIT Calicut college was established 1961. Its very reputable college. And ofcourse it's a national institute of technology. For civil engineering course highest package is 15lpa and average package is 5lpa. Infrastructure is good and facilities are highly qualified.

Now Andra University of visakhapatnam was established 1926. Its also a good engineering college. Highest package of CSE course 16lpa and average package is 4lpa. Infrastructure is good and faculties are highly qualified but due to research they are not completed the syllabus.

According to all of these both are good college. Subject wise i think CSE is better now days than civil engineering. So choice is totally yours.

All the best .

is worth to do chemical engineering at nit calicut

Hello student!
It is a good college if you want to study rather than enjoying it.

Placements:Placement for chemical engineering at NITC is between 35% to 60%. It usually varies every year. During our batch at NITC placements were around 50%. Placement in core companies is difficult because very few companies visit the campus. The highest salary package offered was around 30 LPA in non-core companies and 14 LPA in core companies. The lowest salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. For an internship, only one or two companies visit the campus. Students got an internship in Reliance and Vedanta.

Infrastructure:NITC has the rule of 80% attendance. The chemical engineering department in NITC is strict. Every week you have to do a lab. You can't miss it. Otherwise, you could lose your grades. The library is not available department wise, but there is a NITC central library. Wi-Fi is available 24x7 all over the campus as well in the department also. Classrooms also good. NITC is located in Kerela so you will get Malayalam food. If you are from the north, then you may not like the food. NITC has its own health centre so you will get free medicine. As all the national-level college has sports facilities, so NITC also has sports and tournaments. They also celebrate a sports week where every student gets a chance to participate and win medals.

Faculty:Teachers are really helpful if you are interested in studies. They are well qualified and have done their masters from abroad. The course is relevant to the basics of chemical engineering, but it does not make students ready to the industries as the Indian educational system is like that only.

Other:In this course, you will get many opportunities in the research area. I am really interested in research, so I choose this course. In chemical engineering, you will get much scope in abroad for research if I get a chance to change something in our course then I would like to change the curriculum which should be based on practical current industrial or real-life problems. NITC has two fests called Ragam and Tathva. Ragam is a cultural event, while Tathva is a technical event. Every year there is much crowd in both of the events. Students from different universities and schools come to participate in the event. There is a national scholarship for which you can apply. It is provided by the government of India for the students studying in national college.

Hope this helps you!
Regards!

One of the largest engineering colleges in Kerala build a long time back standing out in infrastructure and a large campus. Classrooms are big enough to accommodate the large population of students, especially the first year classrooms, seminar halls and auditoriums are the finest. Regular maintainance of living spaces keeps it clean and tidy. Food is good offering us to try a very vast variety of cuisines across India all in one place.
