A good government college that is well accessible and in the heart of the city.

Placements: Most of the placements were either for software companies as assistant engineers or as marketing and sales executives, but core companies like Visteon, BEL, and Tata Elxsi had also come. Also edutech and banking companies came for campus placements.

Infrastructure: I was a day scholar. So I don't know about hostels. But there's college Wi-Fi, a technical library, a canteen, and also a store to get general-purpose items and snacks/tea/coffee/drinks. Labs are okay. Classrooms are good, with few classrooms having TVs. A seminar hall is also there.

Faculty: Most of the faculty were really helpful and completed the entire syllabus; if they couldn't, it was because of the shorter duration of semesters in academic calendars beyond their control. The curriculum is almost relevant, and semester exams are moderate to easy most of the time.

Other: Technical societies like IEEE, CSI, ASME, and ISTE are really active, even at regional and global levels. Many project opportunities with well-established organizations also present from time to time.

It is a very good college to study B.Tech.

Placements: Our college has a high number of placements. The pass percentage is about 71%, which is in 4th place among the engineering colleges in Kerala. Dell, HP, Microsoft, and Infosys are some examples of recruiting companies. In the previous year, there were a lot of seniors who got placed for these companies.

Infrastructure: It has a Wi-Fi facility and a very good lab. But now, a new building is under construction. So lab facilities are limited to a small place. Classrooms and the library are also very good. The quality of the food served is so good. There is a good canteen and sports ground also.

Faculty: Teachers are very well qualified. A majority of them are Ph.D. holders. They have a lot of teaching experience. But due to the lack of time in the KTU syllabus and schedule teachers have to rush to complete their portions. Even though they will help us to do better. Exams are also conducted for testing students. The pass percentage is about 71%.

Other: My ambition is to become an ISRO scientist. So, I have opted for this course. I have to work hard to achieve that goal. The fests and cultural activities are so fantastic in our college. Our seniors are very supportive and there is no ragging. There are many scholarships and extracurricular activities also.

Good placements in 2016 and one of the best colleges.

The placement cell of the college is highly efficient and works for getting maximum placement.

Infrastructure: My college has facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, projectors in classrooms, library, etc. The quality of the labs and classrooms are good. The quality of food in the canteen is average. The infrastructure provided is really good, and we also have 2 lifts in the building.

Overall, it is average. For the placement, you need to do extra work and search for the off-campus.

Placements: Around, 70%-75% of the placement is there, but these are mainly IT sector placements. Only 10% or fewer students get the core placement, but those are joining for the post graduation degree like M.Tech, MS, MBA, who got placed at the top IITs, IIMS, and in the top foreign universities. The placement cell needs improvement to bring in more core companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure on the campus is good, which is within a small area, and it is fine. We do have the college bus, and the college building is good. The work is going on for the new hostel and the college building. The college is being located in the heart of the city, and it is within reach. The labs are good, and the IT labs are also good. The negative is that, you don't have a ground although we have one of the best football, cricket, and basketball teams. The new conference hall is just awesome, and the new Mercedes Benz course is starting within the college, which adds a plus to the college.

Faculty: The faculty members are good. The electronics faculty members are good with the sound knowledge of a subject. The new KTU curriculum is good in fact the intern programme enhances the skill of students, and those hands-on sections are helpful in enhancing the knowledge too. The PPT presentation is used for teaching, and we do have a good library facility and an internet.

Other: The college fest 'Aagneya' is among the best festivals among Trivandrum colleges and was rated the 2nd best in south India in 2011 by Express India.

In 2015, the placements were good. The faculty are helpful and supportive.

Placements: The placements have been good for all the batches since 2014. Around, 80% of the students from the batch have received the placements. The highest package was 3.5 LPA CTC, the lowest was 3 LPA CTC, and the average was around 3.3 LPA CTC. All the major service providers like TCS, IBM, Capgemini, UST Global, Quest, and big data firms like Mu Sigma visited the campus. The roles varied from the systems engineer to data scientist. The students from ECE got an opportunity to do an internship with BSNL. It was not a paid internship.

Infrastructure: The campus has the Wi-Fi facilities in all the classrooms, labs, and academic areas. The library has the copies of all academic books that would be required for the course. Recently, they introduced the gym facilities, smart conference halls, and badminton courts. The hostel rooms are available for girls. I have not faced any infrastructure related issues during my tenure.

Faculty: The faculty members were helpful, knowledgeable, and qualified. Their academic qualifications can be found on the college website. They were of immense help during the B.Tech minor and major projects. The projectors are installed in all the classrooms to aid in teaching. There are industrial visits during the 5th semester. Apart from that, the regular industrial visits are organised by the various technical bodies like IEEE and ISTE.

Other: The college is located in the heart of Trivandrum city. So, all the facilities can be easily availed by the students without much travelling. All the classrooms are located in one central main building. This helps in the increased interaction among the various branches and also between the seniors and juniors.
