Hey,

We all know that without officially released cut-off details of NIT Calicut by its responsible authority, The Joint Seat Allocation Authority ( JoSAA ), we can't make any accurate comment about the precise cut-off details of your desired college for this year.

So we have to go through the previous year's cut-off informations to make any decision regarding your admission possibilities. That's why I would like to recommend you to check its official website ( https://www.nitc.ac.in/ ) or the link provided below:

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-nit-calicut

So it'll be definitely too much clear for you also that inspite of being  ST category student you don't have any kind of possibility to get admitted in this renowned institution with this performance through 15% AIQ . Because according to 2019's informations, the last qualifying rank of your desired stream, Electrical and Electronics Engineering for the students outside of its home state Kerala under ST category was 905 where in this year your rank is 7543 .

Though the cut-off marks vary depending upon several important factors like:

  • Total number of candidates appeared in this JEE MAIN 2020
  • Total number of candidates qualified in this exam
  • Number of seats allocated for this instituion by the conduting authority of JoSAA Counselling
  • Highest sore of JEE MAIN examination
  • Number of questions asked in this examination
  • Previous year's cut-off trend
  • Toughness level of your question paper

Still I don't want to give you any unreasonable hope in this regard because it's obvious that the cut-off rank can't be too much decreased from 905 to 7543.

But if your residential state is Kerala, then with this rank you can get any department in this eminent institution, NIT Calicut under your reserved (ST) category through 85% Home State quota.

However you've enough chances in top State Government Engineering colleges, hope that you've applied for State Level Counselling (like Punjab, Haryana, Telengana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Kerala etc) which already has started.

I guess our JEE MAIN College predictor tool must be quite helpful for you:

Hi Aspirant!

We generally compare colleges on the basis of placement statistics and according to this year's placement statistics data are as follows as provided on official website.

IIT ALLAHABAD

  • Average Package: 20.83 lpa
  • Highest Package: 43 lpa

NIT CALICUT

  • Average Package: 17.68 lpa
  • Highest Package: 49.75 lpa

Now if you solely wants to learn CS then you should choose IIIT ALLAHABAD as in that college you get to learn all things in CSE from you first sem.Or you want to experience everything and be in a good college then you can also go for NIT Calicut.In my opinion you should choose NIT Calicut.Although at the end it your decision.

I hope it helps.

Dear Aspirant,

The first criteria for choosing any of these NITs, is the branch you get in these NITs. For example if you're getting a core/top branch in one and some average branch in other then you must go with the good branch.

Some good branches are:-

  • Computer Science
  • Electrical
  • Electronics
  • IT
  • Communication

Hope this helps Thank you.

Hello student,

If you prefer college instead of branch, then Production engineering/biotechnology in NIT calicut is a good option. But if you prefer branch over college then CET is better. If you are getting Production engineering/biotechnology in NIT calicut, there are even chances that you might get a better branch in other NITs. I suggest you to check other NITs where you can get a good branch.Not only NITs , you can apply to IIITs and GFTIs. i suggest you to take a look on the following links -

You can use our college predictor and predict the college you can apply to using the link below

Hey aspirant,

You should choose only that branch in which you feel you are comfortable with. Because of course you won't want to waste your four years of life in studying something in which you are not interested.

Also, the colleges are preferred on the basis of one's priorities.

However if we see the placement statistics of both the colleges then highest package offered by svnit is 39 lpa and average is around 4-6lpa.whereas in Nit calicut the highest package offered is 50 lpa and average ranges around 7-10lpa.

So, on the basis of placement statistics I would suggest you to go for Nit calicut but as I mentioned above the choice should be totally yours.

Hope it helps

Good luck.

Hi Rohit,

Let's carry out some quick comparisons:-

NIRF rank

  • NIT Calicut - 23rd
  • MANIT Bhopal - 65th

Average placements

  • NIT Calicut :- B.E /B.Tech -  8.05 Lakhs , B.Arch - 6.20 Lakhs
  • MANIT Bhopal  :- B.E /B.Tech - 6.50 Lakhs, B.Arch - 4.20 Lakhs

Facilities:- Almost similar

As per the details mentioned above NIT Calicut is better than MANIT Bhopal in every single aspect but you will have to leave your home state so that is the only advantage in MANIT Bhopal.

As per my advice, NIT Calicut is best

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.
