We get great experience in college.

Placements: We have got almost 397 offers from various IT companies. Many of our seniors were placed at TCS, QBurst, Wipro, Tata Elxi, etc. The highest salary package given was 4.5 LPA. Placements in core companies especially for mechanical engineering are non-existent in our college.

Infrastructure: We have all the labs required and all the equipment is in working condition. Every classroom has a large-screen TV for better presentation. The library is average. Most of the time, the books we need may not be there. The hostel is decent. The mess facilities are average. The bathrooms and toilets are periodically cleaned, so there are no issues there. We have a basketball court and a volleyball court on our hostel premises. The warden is very cooperative, and there is no time restriction for students to enter the hostel. It is only applicable to boys. The campus is beautiful. We have two basketball courts, indoor courts for badminton and table tennis, a very large football ground and also an in-house gym, which has the best and the newest equipment.

Faculty: Most of our teachers are very cooperative. We are not stressed out by our teachers, and each student is left to study for themselves. Most of our teachers teach very well and make sure that every student understands, but like most government colleges, a few of our teachers are very hard to get through. The curriculum is outdated. We follow the KTU syllabus and our faculty members say it needs updation. Students are industry-ready after this course only if they self-study extensively. The semester exams are easy to moderate. 60 students out of 74 passed in every subject in our class.

Other: I chose mechanical engineering to get into the automobile industry, and the best thing about this course is the lab sessions. The lab sessions are great fun, especially the machinery lab. We have Explore, which is our cultural fest, which we did not get because of COVID. The year before I joined, they hosted Sunburn and Progressive Brothers. There are also various clubs here for every student's liking and my personal favourite is the SAE club. Our campus is very political in nature, so students with political aptitude will thrive here. Various activities are frequently organised in our college and every student will get to showcase their talents.

The old syllabus was updated by this university and the syllabus was very relevant. The semester was difficult. The pass percentage was around 75%.

Campus life is good with the best infrastructure, teachers, high ROI and average placements.

Placements: Placements are good. Most of the companies are from the IT sector. TCS is recruiting more than 70% of the students in campus placements. For mechanical engineering, only some core companies like MRF and VKC visited here for campus placements. From the 2017 mechanical batch, 10 students got shortlisted for recruitment, and 1 student got selected. The salary offered was around Rs. 50,000 per month. Compulsory internships weren't a part of the curriculum, but students were required to attend a week of industrial training in any company as they wish.

Infrastructure: The college has a wide campus with a lush green environment. There are proper blocks for each stream of engineering with well-established laboratories and workshops. The campus further invested in its infrastructure and got NBA accreditation in 2017 for EEE, ME, CE and ECE courses. Hostel facilities are outside the main campus. The ladies' hostel is only 200 meters from our college's main entrance, and the men's hostel is 1.5 km away from the college. Bus facilities are provided for both day scholars and hostellers to come to college. The mess and canteen provide decent quality food, and a food fest is conducted in the hostel at least twice a month.

Faculty: All the faculty members are PhD holders for the mechanical department and almost all other departments as well. Teachers have proper knowledge of the subject which they are teaching. The teaching methodology includes both theory part and practical-oriented teaching. The course content was updated after 2017 when KTU came into place, and now the curriculum is more relevant to today's world and is helpful in making students industry-ready.

Other: Scholarships are available for all, and our college also helps students to get their deserved scholarships. Fests are conducted every year. A particular fest is repeated in alternative years. Our college is located close to NIFT, so students have exposure to not only the students from their own campus but also from other students from NIFT and other colleges in the vicinity.

The college has good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: The college provides very few placements compared to other colleges. The only company which recruits is TCS. They recruit from all branches based on programming skills. Mechanical has very few opportunities compared to other branches. Internships are not provided to students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Students are provided with 24 hours of Wi-Fi access and smart classrooms. Each classroom is provided with projectors and screen. Good quality food at a cheap rate is provided in the college hostel. There is huge ground, and many intercollege games are conducted here. The basketball court is also available for playing basketball.

Faculty: Teachers have good knowledge and ready to help students at any time. Teachers take classes very systematically. I don't think the course curriculum is relevant, but some changes are made from this academic year. So I think it will increase relevance.

Other: Scholarships are provided for economically and socially backward students. Many events are conducted in college every year. Techfests, arts day, sports day, festival celebrations, batch day, association day and many other programs are conducted. Politics is not that active in our college due to the dominance of the party. They suppress others, and elections are not conducted here.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, campus life, and faculty, but dissatisfied with the placements.

Placements: Placements of the college are par with other government colleges in Kerala. Only around 30% to 40% of the students get placed from the college every year. The average salary package offered was around 1.50 LPA to 2 lacs per annum, and the highest package was 4.20 LPA. Mostly, IT companies like TCS, Infosys, NEST, IBM, etc., visited the campus. For the mechanical branch, the number of companies recruiting from college is very low, and it is nil in some years. The only company that came to recruit students from mechanical and electrical branches was MRF. But in contrast to seniors, the number of students who got placed from our batch has increased from 20% to 33%.

Infrastructure: The college has a really good infrastructure. The campus is spread over 68 acres of land which includes hostels for boys and girls, library, canteen, stationery, departmental buildings for each branch except mechanical, and labs, ground, etc. Classrooms are really spacious with good furniture and a projector. The labs have good and flawless equipment, and the mechanical lab has CNC in it. Wi-Fi facility was available throughout campus, but sometimes the speed was too low. However, the college had a spacious central computing facility with 60+ computers and good Wi-Fi speed. The hostel can only accommodate 300 students and rooms were a bit small for four people. Each room in the hostels was provided with two-tier cots, but no lockers. The college had a good ground, two badminton courts, two basketball courts, table tennis and gym.

Faculty: In the mechanical department, the number of guest lecturers was high. Only a few permanent lecturers will be taking classes throughout the curriculum. But the guest lecturers were also qualified for teaching. The mechanical department maintained a faculty to student ratio of around 1:20. The courses are structured in a good manner. Especially, many management subjects like industrial management, operation research, etc., are included.

Other: The college conducts a national level tech fest every 4 years, and yearly departmental tech fests will also be conducted. Cultural activities like Melange, arts and annual sports day are also conducted.

Perfect college for those students who from a middle-class family.

Placements: This college offers the excellent placement facilities. As it is a government college, most of the reputed companies conduct campus recruitment yearly. Students of our senior batches are placed in some of the top reputed companies such as IBM, Infosys, etc. The placements are often common to all the branches. But the mechanical students looking for their core career, have to rely on the off-campus interviews.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is quite satisfactory. The government funds take a pot of time to get approved. As a result, the unconditioned equipment, machines, and computers take a lot of time to get repaired. Most of the course practical sessions are held on the campus itself. The college provides the hostel facilities on the basis of reservation. The food and hostel facilities are affordable for a normal family. The classrooms and labs are a bit old, but regarding facilities, they are still at best.

Faculty: The faculty are well-educated teachers who have cleared their M tech. They still follow the text book based curriculum teaching methods. They are very supportive and are ready to assist students at any time. Especially, for students with the excellent academic performance. They help in both studies and future related jobs. For average students, the college regularly conducts the special coaching classes every Saturday. Each semester, the faculty arranges the industrial visits for the students so that they can get a practical knowledge of what they have learned.
