Good campus and campus life. Good option for studying.

Placements: Till 2022, the placement rates were really high. Later, the number of companies recruiting starts decreasing. It also depends on other factors. Mainly, companies like TCS recruit from this college. Many students here also bring their own business ideas and start-ups.

Infrastructure: The college provides good food in the canteen and hostel mess. Wi-Fi is also available. We have many new academic blocks, and a new block for the men's hostel is also under construction. The infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and sometimes on campus as well. We also have a library with a wide collection of books for reference.

Faculty: The pass percentage is always over 90%. Even though university syllabus is outdated. The technical clubs organize many talk sessions, webinars, and workshops for studying and gaining knowledge in various fields. We can also learn through hands-on experience.

Other: This course brings us into the field of electronics. It also allows us to study other related fields that are going to be important in the technical industry.

Absolutely top to explore engineering knowledge but a little backward in placements.

Placements: The students who placed last year were below 10 in our course. They are placed in a company that does not belong to the core subjects. More IT companies are offering placements. When it comes to internships there is a huge number of students who are selected as interns about 70 percent.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is very nice. Lab and department libraries are there. There is a special section for our department. The central library is in the new block. We are in the main block. In addition to this new robotics lab is ongoing with its construction and infrastructural works. When it comes to hostel it's above average. I'm a hostler I know very well. New blocks, in addition to the A and B blocks for men are under ongoing construction. For ladies there are 3 blocks.

Faculty: Some faculty members are top-notch. But most of them failed to convey the knowledge to students. Students will cover all the portions before the exam. Curriculum is based on the KTU University 2024 scheme. 4 modules are there for each theory course and 10 experiments for lab courses. The failure percentage is very low nearly below 10 percent.

Great faculty members, but the worst university.

Placements: This year, only around 20% of the students were placed in the whole 2021 batch, in which only 15 students got placed from my department. The highest package was 15 LPA, the lowest being 3 LPA, and the average is around 4-5 LPA. The top recruiter this year was UST. Less than 20% of students got internships during our studies.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty bad as of now, really old buildings, and most of the water filters are always under maintenance. The windows are mostly broken, the fans are not working regularly, and power cuts. The hostel is pretty pocket-friendly, but that being said, the quality and hygiene are pretty low. The food they offer is above average, and it does have a basketball court and space to have fun.

Faculty: Faculty members are top-notch in this college; everyone has a great understanding of what they teach and how to schedule classes and topics. The curriculum that my college follows is very outdated and responsible. Hectic schedule - a fraudulent attempt from the university to draw money from students in the name of an insurance scheme and a fake evaluation scheme, where they just keep the money and never value the paper again.

Other: I chose this course out of my interest in the ECE field, and that being said, I was offered a scholarship to study abroad, which I applied for on my own- thanks to my professors and never the university. The university is one of the worst there is, which solely runs on the purpose of making money.

It has average campus life, poor placements, and okay faculty members.

Placements: About 10-20% of students got placed in my batch which is less compared to last year. The average package offered in this course is 6 LPA. Some of the companies that came for recruitment include IT companies like UST Global, Mitsogo, and some other EC-based companies. Mainly, students should focus on core companies rather than IT companies and if we select this course, it will give us more exposure to this field.

Infrastructure: We have labs for all semesters from S1 to S7. It also has a project lab to do projects. Wi-Fi is also available on the campus. We also have a department library as well as the main library. A hostel facility is also available. 3 ladies' hostels and 2 men's hostels are available near the college. We also have a hostel mess and in the college, the canteen is also available.

Faculty: Last year, the pass percentage was above 90% and our college was in 2nd position. Teachers are highly qualified and we can easily understand their way of teaching. Semester exams depend on the previous year's question papers and we also get some new questions, so we have to study.

Other: This course is best for students who would like to pursue a career in the Electronics and Communication field. Various events are organised by the student council such as tech fest, art fest, college day, etc.

Gcek- the best engineering college in northern Kerala.

Placements: The placements offered by Government College of Engineering Kannur were lesser last year compared to previous years. One of the students from Electronics and Communication received an 18 LPA package. The average package in GCEK is 4 LPA. There is an active placement cell to prepare students for placement drives.

Infrastructure: GCE Kannur has well-equipped labs and workshops for all departments. The college has Wi-Fi available in the main block. Labs and classrooms are high-tech. There is a main library and individual libraries for departments. Regarding the hostel, we have 3 blocks (A, B, C) for girls and two blocks (A, B) for boys. Hostel admission is based on government norms (family income, distance from home, academic performance). The quality of food provided is very good. We have non-veg available on almost 4-5 days per week. There is a hospital located 100 meters from the boys' hostel. The boys' hostel has basketball and volleyball courts, as well as indoor sports like table tennis.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are well-educated and experienced. They are very friendly and maintain a good relationship with students. The college is under APJ Abdul Kalam Technology University, and our batch follows KTU's 2019 scheme. It is a little bit older, but KTU is going to introduce a new scheme in 2024. In each semester, there are two series exams and one semester exam. Exams are easy to pass if you have an understanding of the subjects. In the 2024 batch's results, we had a 77.6% pass percentage, which is 4th in the university and 2nd among government colleges.

Other: I chose Electronics and Communication Engineering because I thought it would have more applications and opportunities in the future. The college offers good facilities to make you a skilled engineer. The college has a tech fest called XPLORE, which is happening in 2024. It is a national-level tech fest. The college offers good sports facilities, including a large football and cricket ground, basketball, volleyball, and badminton courts, etc. The college has an indoor auditorium, open-air auditorium, placement hall, library, well-equipped gymnasium, canteen, co-operative store, etc. The college offers many scholarships that can cover your full tuition fee. By the way, the tuition fee is just around 10k per year.

Our college has an average campus with good facilities, but the exposure is pretty low.

Placements: Our college has good placements, but they could have been better. The computer science and engineering course has good placements compared to other branches. The core companies of other branches are not available, excluding some small companies such as TCS but their promotion out of combo selection is very helpful.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is excellent. The hostel facility is average, but it is pretty decent. It is a huge campus with 73 acres of land, but lots of facilities are not used and a lot of space is wasted. Almost all facilities are available.

Faculty: Our faculty members are good. They are well-experienced because it is a government college and their knowledge is high. Many teachers are experienced. Ph.D. holders are there from IITs. Their way of explaining things is so good that we will be able to understand quickly.

Other: Our college is a government college so it has value for money. There are no big expenses and a lot of scholarships are available.
