B.Tech. in in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2028

4Placements2Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Dissatisfied because of the lack of events and campus life, but teaching and placements are good.

Placements: Around 75- 80% of students were placed, with packages ranging from? 3 LPA to 9 LPA. Top recruiters included TCS, Infosys, IBM, and Cognizant, offering roles like Software Engineer and Web Developer. Around 70% of students in our course got internships, either through college placement drives or external sources. The main internship recruiters were TCS, UST, and startups related to them.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the course is good, but not hostel, the boys' hostel is only available for first years, and a minimum number of students are admitted, while others need to look for paying guest houses. Girls' hostels are available for all years, and 3 girls' hostels are available.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are well qualified, and most of them have a doctorate too. They also teach well. Some exceptions are there, but still, most teachers are good. As per the 2024 syllabus, the course is highly curriculum relevant. Therefore, many skill development courses are being studied.

Strong placements but average campus life.

Placements: I recently graduated in 2025 from the computer science and engineering Branch. From my personal experience the college has a very good placement record. In 2025, a total of 208 jobs were offered across all the branches, and 129 students were placed. The average package ranges around 3.5 LPA-4 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, IBM, UST, TCS, Cognizant, EY, Federal Bank, Infosys, Schneider Electric, etc. Placement opportunities are best in CSE, with around 70%-80% of students in the branch getting placed.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent and includes most essential facilities, but there is still room for improvement. Facilities such as well-maintained classrooms, library, and fab labs are available, although some of the department-specific labs could be better maintained. Wi-Fi is available, but the connectivity is not always reliable. The canteen is decent and hygienic, and the hostels are okay.

Faculty: The faculty is one of the strong points of the college. Most of the faculty members are well-qualified and approachable. They maintain a good teaching standard and are encouraging. The course curriculum is relevant and aligned with university guidelines. With the right effort and guidance, students can become industry-ready. The pass percentage is generally high, and students who put in a reasonable amount of effort usually clear the exams without much trouble.

Other: The one area where the college might fall short is campus life. If you are expecting a vibrant campus life filled with frequent events and fests then CEC might not fully meet your expectations. While there are events and activities conducted occasionally they are not as frequent as those in some other colleges. If you are looking for a college that focuses strongly on academics CEC is a great choice. If you are someone who prioritizes a dynamic campus life you may want to weigh your options.

Dissatisfied because of the campus life but really good placements all year and good teachers.

Placements: 60% of students get placed. The highest salary package is 9 LPA. The average salary is 5 LPA. The lowest salary is 4 LPA. Infosys, Cognizant, UST Global, TCS Prime and Digital, EY, IBM, Experion Technologies, Lektik, IPA, Forbes Marshall, and Schneider Electronics. Around 70% of students got internships.

Infrastructure: Colleges have nice labs but sometimes have Wi-Fi and serve problems. College has a nice building. There few courses in our college engineering section have only 3 streams computer science and engineering, electronics and communication engineering, electrical and electronics engineering. The availability of food in canteen is not that good. The college don't have a proper ground to conduct sports.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and guide to prepare for the exam. With the right guidance, we can ace the exams. The course curriculum is important for the preparation of exams. It only gives us therotical knowledge. The semester exam has great quality.

Other: I chose this course because it's comparatively easy and better salary. More practical exams are there.

A complete overview of the College of Engineering, Chengannur.

Placements: About 70-80% of CSE Students get placed, and 40-50% of EC students get placed. But only 10% of EEE students get placed in our college. The highest package is around 10-12 LPA. Top recruiting companies are IBM, Infosys, UST, TCS, etc. Internships depend on the students applying for them. Their skill get mainly focused.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is average. Labs, fab labs, and the library are available, but not maintained properly. Wi-Fi is so bad. The hostel is okay. The mess and canteen are okay, not so good, and not so bad. It is hygienic, in my opinion, compared to nearby hotels. Classrooms are okay.

Faculty: The teachers are good and qualified. They always provide good things to students and are supportive. The curriculum of KTU is not relevant. We are studying those things that are not at all relevant in day-to-day life. So, internships and self learning play an important role in college life.

Other: I am interested in coding. So, I chose this course. There are more internships in our course. The learning events in our college are good, great, and mostly top-notch. But, other than that, like tech fests, arts, etc., are so poor. The campus enjoyment is also poor.

Very small campus and average college life.

Placements: Placements in my course are low. Placements for IT companies are high but for other courses core jobs, there are very few 1-2 placements only. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Wipro, Amazon, etc. The highest package is 9 LPA, and there is an average LPA of 3.5.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that good. Campus is very small as it is located in the middle of town. The playground here is very small. All the labs are ancient. Hostel is also not so good with lack of water and not good food. Canteen food is very cheap but does not taste that good.

Faculty: All teachers are very knowledgeable in their specific subjects. But only some of them are good at teaching and making you understand the subject. The pass percentage is very high. Everyone passes and exams are not that difficult. If you study well, you can easily clear all the exams.

Memories of College of Engineering, Chengannur.

Placements: From the third year, students become eligible for campus placements. The companies that visited College of Engineering, Chengannur are IBM, UST, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, IPA Private Limited, etc. The highest package is 9 LPA. The average package is about 5 LPA and more. So many students are getting placed in different companies. There are many students placed at above mentioned companies. And I would also like to be placed in these companies.

Faculty: Faculty members in the College of Engineering, Chengannur are good. They have a team of experienced and qualified faculty members across various departments. For computer science department, there are 20 above staff with qualifications like Ph.D, M.Tech, and B.Tech. Likewise for every department C programming, maths, and all other teachers teach very well. I don't like electronics teachers. It must be because I don't like those subjects. Talking about exams there are 2 series of tests in a semester and after that semester exam. Likewise in all the year. College offers various undergraduate and postgraduate programs with a curriculum designed to provide students with a strong foundation in their chosen field. Undergraduate programs(B.Tech) are computer science and engineering, core courses are programming data structure algorithms, etc. Specialization in artificial intelligence is also available here, in electrical and electronics engineering with core courses electrical circuits power systems,electronics and communication engineering, with core courses in electronics communications, network theory, etc.

Other: Events are very less compared to other colleges. They focus mainly on academics. There are many workshops here we can attend. Seniors are taking so many classes and their classes are very good. There are no programs that are so fun and something like that. The programs that we have are mostly provided by IEEE and IEDC. We have library and many books are available, students can study there. There is an annual sports day and arts day at our college and program called ethnic day is also an event.
