Pros and cons of the Government Engineering College, Thrissur.

Placements: Talking about the placement scenario in our civil department is lower compared to the other branches, like computer science and mechanical. The top recruiting companies are the Land T, Shobha Construction, and MRF, which visit the campus for placements. The package is offered at around 32 LPA, while the average packages range from 4 LPA to 6 LPA. On average, around 20% of civil students got placed, looking at the overall college placement of 60%-77%. The college's active placement cell and good industrial connections help students to get secure job offers. Site engineer, project manager, and structural engineers are some of the top positions.

Infrastructure: Even though the civil department is the oldest, it still boasts a well-equipped infrastructure to support academic pursuits. It comes with well-maintained labs like the CAD lab, environmental engineering lab, material testing lab, survey lab, and hydro informatics lab. The college library is also well equipped with vast collections of books, journals, and online resources. Talking about the college hostel facilities, it's laid with a clean and secure nature connected. Let me make one thing clear, college hostel admissions are based on the income and distance criteria, so what I meant is that it has limited seats. Others have to look for private hostels.

Faculty: We have well-qualified and helpful teachers. Most of the faculty are nice and approachable, talking about the curriculum, we follow the APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (KTU), which comes with a whole package of theory plus practical lab sessions along with other specialized subjects too. Semester exams aren't that tough, everyone could pass average, if u learn. Students have been reporting to update the curriculum to a more job-oriented way rather than just mugging up on theory texts

Other: The best thing about civil is its hands-on learning and diverse applications encompassing various fields like structural, transportation, environmental, etc. I think a regular update on curriculum, focusing more on job-oriented studies and fostering strong industry partnerships to provide more internships and job opportunities, could improve a lot.
