Students Review:
Infrastructure and Campus Life:
The campus surrounding is very well maintained and is lush green. The college has many buildings, and the hostel campuses of boys and girls are far apart. The campus has its own health centre and 24 hours power supply facility. It also has hygiene messes and canteens, and excellent academic facilities are available with well-equipped labs. It also subscribes to a wide range of online research journals and publishers, ensuring smooth access to technical content. The digital library, Nalanda, is one of the biggest. Moreover, NIT Calicut is one of the few institutes to host a Supercomputer. Hostels are well furnished and regularly cleaned, but a bit over cramped. This will remain the same until the construction of new hostels is completed. We also have an in-house clinic and ambulance.
