Great college for core branches and students who are really passionate about engineering.
Placements: About 80% of the students are being placed at either core or non-core companies. A great percentage of core placements are reported, and it is one of the highest in Kerala. Core companies like JSW, MRF, Ashok Leyland, and Annora instrumentation have given placements, and the average is above 6LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is fair. Not excellent, but it has adequate facilities like Wi-Fi in college and hostel. Library facilities, and well-equipped labs are available for all courses. New hostels are being built to accommodate more students, and gradually, the infrastructure is also being developed.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough, and they have completed their studies from premier institutes of the country. Faculty members of our department are very friendly and are always available for help. They provide us space and time for non-academic activities and projects. 
Other: If you are focusing on the KEAM exam, GEC Thrissur is one of the top colleges under the Kerala government. It has a huge alumni network, which helps us gain a lot of opportunities.

My review on GEC Thrissur.
Placements: Talking about placement percentage, it's like 75 percent when it comes to my course, and the highest package for my course is 32 LPA as per now, with an average of 4 LPA. Companies like MRF, Reliance, Saint Gobain, TCS, Infosys, Wipro recruit from my college.
Infrastructure: I'm a first-year student here, and I can share what I know about my college. The infrastructure is pretty good. The campus is 75 acres, though much of it is left unused. We have decent classrooms and a library, and the Wi-Fi is also good. Hostel facilities and food quality are satisfactory. We get decent facilities for 3k, so I'd say it's one of the best colleges you'll see in Kerala.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful and we're following KTU curriculum. I'll say it's good but exam results sometimes come late. When we're talking about the difficulty of the semester exams, as a first year student, it's pretty doable. I mean everything is doable, but this is not that hard. About the pass percentage, it's like 80-90 percent.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do something like this and here, GEC Thrissur is one of the best colleges in Kerala for Mechanical Engineering. Our college celebrates almost every kind fests and events, so events happen here frequently and the crowd is a vibe too.

Infrastructure: In civil department, well-equipped labs, spacious classrooms for 70-80 students. It has a seperate department library and Wi-Fi. The campus spans 75 acres of land. Gym, digital classroom, hostels, canteen, gym, and sports facilities are available. Hostel rooms and canteen should be improved.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and well-experienced, with many from NIT/IIT. Faculty members are student-friendly and very supportive. In civil department, faculty members are strict and well-experienced. The curriculum is revamped to bridge the academic-industry gap.
Other: The department hosts funded projects, and M.Tech work has earned awards such as best project by ultratach/lCI. Campus is vibrant and ragging-free campus. Active clubs, tech fests, workshops, and healthy student politics are conducted.

It has a strong infrastructure, good faculty, and decent placement rates.
Placements: It provides a decent placement rate from various top companies. Placements are the key concern. There are more placements in the IT sector than in the core engineering fields. In mechanical engineering, the top recruiting companies are L&T, MRF, etc. It provides average salary packages to students.
Infrastructure: It provides well-maintained classrooms, and modern features like a projector, Wi-Fi, and various engineering disciplines. The hostel is available with limited seats. It has a canteen. The mess facility is also provided. It has sports facilities like football and basketball.
Faculty: Very helpful and highly qualified faculty members are available here. Students can easily understand the topics. The course curriculum is outdated and not relevant to the current industry.

My honest review of my college.
Placements: The college has good placement and job opportunities. Mainly IT companies are coming for recruitment. More than 200 students are placed in TCS Private Limited. Other companies like Wipro, Avenger, Suntech, etc., hire students. Around 500 students got placed this year. We do internships outside our college. We went for a 20-day internship at Malabar Cement Walayar, Palakkad. It was a good experience.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are not bad. However, they are not good too. Since it is a government college, hostel feels and food charges are minimal. Rooms in hostels are available only for students whose houses are far from the district. If a student's house is more distance, then there are more chances of getting admission into hostels.
Faculty: The best feature of the college is the faculty members. Everyone has a grip on every subject. Since it is a government college, getting in as a faculty happens only if we are really talented, and there are no questions about the quality of teaching. The semester-end examination has a 100-mark question pattern, and we can answer any 5 questions by choosing at least one question from each module. All questions carry equal (20) marks. Internal continuous assessment is in the form of periodical tests and assignments.
