Good college having very nice facilities.
Placements: From the last batch, only below 10% students were placed immediately after completing the course. The packages offered were between 15000 to 30000 as we are beginners. Many of them got internships from this course, some went to abroad while the others went to Bangalore, etc. Interior, product, fashion, etc. are the roles offered.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi available in the college is good along with a good library. This department is separate from the architecture department, so the building’s work is not completed yet. Hostel is good having a good warden and a beautiful atmosphere. The food is a big problem but has a bad taste at times. Medical facilities are available in the college.
Faculty: The teaching quality is totally okay. Some teachers are not good at teaching, but overall, it is okay. I don't think this curriculum helps the interior designing students. But for product design, it is good. Semester exams are not that difficult. If you are an average student, make sure you pass the jury so you can confirm that you have passed the semester. The main exam is the jury. The semester exams have only 1/2 of the theory subjects.
Other: I want to do interior designing but I can't afford to go outside Kerala so I took this course in this college. It makes me excited to do interior designing. The teaching method should improve. As freshers in interior design, we need better teaching quality and knowledge.

The infrastructure is really good and provides pretty good facilities.
Placements: We are the first batch so placement has not happened yet. All students got internships in different design-related firms, mainly in product design, interior design, graphic design and furniture design. One can get jobs related to any design-related roles.
Infrastructure: There are free Wi-Fi, computer labs, library, workshops, and a canteen. The hostel is neat and provides food 4 times a day. The food is okay there. The college supports extra curricular activities and encourages both genders to participate in all the sports items. The sports team is pretty strong.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. Some teachers are good compared to others. The initial year it offers what design is in general, mainly various fields in design. This is helpful because students will get an idea of what fields they can get into. Even after specializing in a particular design for their bachelor's, one can pursue any design career of their dreams. The course offers internships, which I personally think make students know what a real-life work environment will be like. Overall the theory subjects are very few. So I think it's quite easy to pass the subjects. You will need minimum 45 percentage to pass a subject.
Other: It's is a creative field. There is more practical knowledge than theory. The work-life balance could be better for the course. The college programs are nice, we could showcase our talents and mingle with students.
