NIT Calicut Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Hello Mr. Bini,

Considering your son's rank in JEE Main (3715 in General category, Maharashtra), here below is the categorization that might help you narrow down the options:

CSE in NIT Calicut (or Other NITs):

• CSE is a very popular branch with lots of placement opportunities if your son is looking at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and Calicut he won't go wrong with CSE.
• If your son likes coding, software and tech then CSE in NIT is a great option.
• The NITs that maintain a good CSE department and good placement are: Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal.

ECE in IIIT Hyderabad:

• IIIT-Hyderabad is a good institute with excellent academic and research environment particularly for ECE and other related interdisciplinary streams, particularly in the area of AI/ML, VLSI.
• The placement of IIIT-Hyderabad is excellent because other than IITs, IIIT-H students have the best placement options, particularly for research oriented/product based roles.
• If your son likes a research driven curriculum and he may think of higher studies or work in tech heavy roles, IIIT-H ECE is arguably the best choice of all options.

ECE in NIT Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Rourkela:

• These are very good NITs with good ECE department and strong industry partnerships.
• The placement is good, but is not as strong compared to CSE branches or IIIT-Hyderabad ECE.

If the emphasis is on core tech roles and software engineering, get him a place in CSE at a top NIT (ideally Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal). If there is a willingness to accept a comprehensive, research-based academic program, with future scope in core tech, AI or higher studies, then ECE at IIIT Hyderabad could be the best long term option. Do not opt for lower-tier NITs if you can get him into one of these higher tier institutes.

With an OBC-NCL rank of 22,373 , getting admission to NIT Calicut is unlikely , as the closing ranks for most branches in previous years were much lower.

For example:

• CSE : ~2,846

• ECE : ~3,551

Consider exploring other NITs or use the Careers360 JEE Main College Predictor for a better estimate. Let me know your home state for more specific guidance.

It's difficult to say definitively whether a 94.4148 percentile in JEE Main, with home state, OBC, and female quota, will guarantee a BTech Physics seat at NIT Calicut. While a 94 percentile is a good score, it's not a guarantee of admission to a specific program at a specific NIT.

The final cutoff ranks and percentiles for NIT Calicut vary from year to year and are influenced by factors like the overall JEE Main performance, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available.

Your percentile needs to be converted to a rank, which is what is used for seat allotment during the JoSAA counselling process.

Home state quotas can significantly impact your chances, as seats are reserved for students from the state where the NIT is located.

These quotas further influence seat allocation, and the impact on a program like BTech Physics will depend on the specific number of reserved seats and the overall demand for that program.

I suggest you to use JEE predictor tool which will help you to know your chances in nit Calicut .
