What I know about NIT
My cousin came the other day. He is doing his B.Arch Course at NIT Calicut. So we had a lot to talk about. Obviously, we talked and talked and talked! Let me share my thoughts.
On entering home, he told me that it would be difficult to get Electronics and Communication Engineering at NIT Calicut, but would be easy in other states. I guess it is because most students here in Kerala opt ECE as their primary choice. Since there are only 60 seats, it’s just a matter of minutes before the whole course fills up. I decided that I’d take Mechanical Engineering if such a case arises. I’m gonna try the NITs at Calicut, Surathkal, Warangal and Trichy. Hopefully I’d get admission in one of them. “Mechanical Engineering would be great”, he told me. I asked about Raman, he is firm that he’ll get admission. So, Ramnath, good luck!
He also said me that NITs offer change of courses frequently. So I think the main problem is to get there. When I enquired about course changes, my uncle replied, “Most Engineering colleges let you change the branch after first year if you wish. First year (or semester) all branches will have common subjects (At least that is how it was when I was doing my engineering, I studied, civil, mechanical, electrical on first year). So do not panic. You can also request for syllabus from universities or colleges. Each university will have their own syllabus which may be slightly different from others.”
He then talked about the campus life at NIT. Infact this was our main subject of talk. He told me that ragging was something unknown in the campus (That is pity. A little ragging would never do any harm!). First years (or freshmen) have security guards following them. So you can expect one following you even if you want to make a phone call. Seniors are not usually expected to talk with juniors.
The hostels are well furnished and he said that the bathroom is cleaner than rooms! All rooms have the capability to install computer systems and the rooms are LANned. There is also 24 hour free internet connectivity. The canteen is usually open till 2 am. Life is carefree and enjoyable. He said that the campus at Surathkal has their private beach. Hostel life also is not strict. They won’t care if you sleep late at night. He had once played Ensemble Studio’s ‘Age of Mythology’ (multiplayer) all the night. He is in the habit of playing games like Quake and Unreal Tournament.
On the whole, I’d be badly depressed if I do not get admission at NIT. That is what I can say. Bohooohooo!
