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.
