In our college, the fee is very low because it is a government college and good people are teachers.

Infrastructure: Our college is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India, so the infrastructure is a little old. There is a separate place for all departments, including the office and a placement building. We have an open auditorium, a big hall with an LED display, and many buildings, which were contributed by our alumni.

An alumnus of IIT, Palakkad.

Infrastructure: This college still remains a promising path for creating a successful career journey for students. Facilities available within the college were not very adequate and did not meet the required standards. Sometimes, it was more challenging to survive in the hostels provided by them.

Coaching satisfies the fee we pay.

Infrastructure: There was a busy schedule for academics, so students were not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities like sports and events. The mess had a very small setup, and dining lounges. Finally little bittight security system at the college campus area. There was also heavy competition between other colleges in examination results and placements.

Placement coaching is valuable for the money.

Infrastructure: It's a very old college with good ventilation of air. It encompasses various courses, with 126 allocated to each course. Based on merit, students can take admission in the college. Equipment required for the laboratories is bought once every 2 years.

Higher credit to the college management.

Infrastructure: Initially, I had faced homesickness and other illnesses when I shifted to the hostel, but nowadays, I'm able to adapt to such conditions. Sports are encouraged by the management, and they believe education is based on previous sports performance. Buses were available with required facilities like tracking and security cameras.

Review for Alagappa Chettiar Government College of Engineering and Technology.

Infrastructure: The college provides the necessary resources for academic and placement purposes. However, resources for mental health, such as yoga classes and fitness centers, are lacking. Transportation facilities, including college buses and public transport like auto-rickshaws and buses, are available outside the campus.

A good institution to start our college life. Best placement compared to other government colleges.

Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure and rooms are okay, not much like other private hostels. The hostel infrastructure and rooms are decent, meeting basic needs but not as luxurious as private hostels, offering a simple and functional living space. Guys, don't expect more.

I am satisfied in my college because apart from placement and staff we can learn new things daily.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college and hostel was somewhat good. Library and labs for practical work are available. IoT lab, and placement training center are available here. In the mess, the food was average, and the atmosphere of the hostel was good. In our college, sports and extracurricular activities are there for students.

A very large campus of 200 acres with greenery.

Infrastructure: The campus life is very good. Each department conducts 2 symposiums a year. There are around 15 clubs in the college that actively conduct various events for students. The hostel facility is not good, the maintenance is low, and no proper response is given by the hostel management for any issues.
