Hai Puys,

Welcome to the official SOMS NIT Calicut, Admissions 2011-13 thread.

Is the admission based on CAT?
Will you consider other exams like JMET, MAT for admission process?
I would like also know about the approximate cut off.

The School accepts 2010 CAT score only.
Besides, there will be weightage for candidate's academic performance and work experience for his/her admission.
The cut-offs for current admission will be decided soon.

Hello priyanka,

SOMS offers the course only to Engineers (B Tech/BE).


Electives are offered in 6 areas: Business Analytics, Finance, Marketing, Production and Operation, HR and Strategy. In the second year of study, a student has to take 10(or more) elective subjects from their area of interest.


Feel free to enquire.

Hello Akshay,

In the first year, SOMS had accepted JMET score. From our batch onwards it is discontinued. Admission will be based on CAT score. There may be unupdated sites telling that NIT - Calicut will accept JMET score. Please ignore them.

Hi,
I am Sourav working as an IT professional with about 2 years of experience in one of the leading companies. Is their any weightage for work experience?
I would also like to know about the faculty. Since its very near to IIM Kozhikode are you having any tie up or association with them?

Sourav

Hello Sourav,

Work experience do certainly have weightage in admission. At present, about 50% of the students have work experience.

The faculty includes professors from IIMs and IITs and eminent personalities from the industry.

IIM-K in its initial stages was mentored by NIT-Calicut. We take every opportunity to attend the seminars and to participate in the contests conducted by them.

Hai Puys,
We are glad that the first batch of SOMS have proved their mettle by securing placements in reputed companies. SOMS looks at this achievement proudly since it is able to offer campus placements for the very first batch. We are expecting more companies to recruit from the campus.
