About 14 students got placed in Air India with 14 LPA. For the last pass-out batch, the lowest is 3.3 LPA.

A football ground, volleyball court, basketball court, and a badminton court are also there. The ambience of the hostel is very nice.
Faculty: Faculty members are well graduated and of better experiences. Some of them are graduated from IIT. They are very kind to students. The curriculum is okay, not that nice. The exams are a little bit hard. For a semester, there will be two series exams and an end semester exam.

College of Engineering has a value-for-money and is a government engineering college in Kerala.
Placements: For placement, this college is good. Do not worry if you are a CS student, there are many requirements. Top recruiters are Amazon and Flipkart. Most of the students get an internship from the third year and the second year itself, like above 90 percent. They offer roles at a high level.
Infrastructure: They provide very good facilities like Wi-Fi labs, and there are even air-conditioned classrooms. They also provide a library, and we can access till night 8 PM at night. The quality of the hostel is good, but it is like an old building. You may like the food or not. It depends on you, and there are sports and games, gym facilities, cricket, football training, basketball, handball, and sports are available, you cannot carry your sports life with it.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They teach very well. The semester exam was medium level. You can get a good mark. If you started early, it is not that difficult. The curriculum is designed to help every child pass the exam.
Other: I chose this college because it is Kerala's number one government engineering College in terms of placement for these colleges. Very good campus. Life is very nice. We can meet people from different states, and many cultural programs are available.

Satisfied with my experience at CET, and students can get a good and knowledgeable experience here.
Placements: Our branch is one of the most misunderstood branches which has a high potential in the global stage amongst the non circuit branches and the past batch got a placement rate of around 75-80% where they are placed in top firms like TCS, Tata Elxsi, JSW, UST Global, Nissan as a graduate trainee role with about a package of 20 LPA. Internships are provided by top industrial-based companies and have also been an integral part in the placement process, like Accenture, Nissan, HLL Lifecare, Ashok Leyland, and other startups or automotive companies that offer operations work, which can upskill the knowledge in AutoCAD, Solidworks, Matlab, and other necessary skills.
Infrastructure: There is a department library and a general library, where we can get access to multiple books, and generally for reading or studying sessions. There is an IT lab in the department and a CCF (central computing facility) in the mechanical department equipped with AC and computing facilities. Facilities in the Hostel are pretty good, and there is a good environment generally. The mess food is also generally nice and costs around Rs. 3,000 per month with both non-vegetarian and vegetarian food. There is a sports team in games like basketball, football, softball, badminton, cricket, volleyball, table tennis, etc., and it has achieved great results.
Faculty: Teachers are pretty knowledgeable and friendly most of the time. Some teachers are good at delivering the content. The course curriculum is relevant, and it covers main topics like operations management, finance, mechanical topics, quality control, etc. The pass percentage is good, and above 90% most of the time.
Other: I chose this course because of the combination of studying mechanical topics with topics of business administration, which can lead to more placement opportunities with the knowledge and presentation side of the ideas and knowledge. It can lead to higher positions in a firm and lead to a general manager or even higher positions with experience. We study how to manage the firm with the knowledge of the mechanical side of things.
