GEC Thrissur: A perfect launchpad for an aspiring engineer.
Placements: Placements are from Reliance, MRF, Sudchemy, and many other non-core IT companies. Placements are usually conducted through online video meetings and exams, which I find can allow many unworthy students to pass, as cheating is practiced by many. Offline interviews are also common but the bigger core companies prefer online selection.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are adequate. Hostel facilities are tolerable. The library is good. Canteen is located within the campus and sells food at a reasonable rate. Canteen is located in one corner of the campus and not in the middle, so students from some departments have to travel farther.
Faculty: Teachers are graduates from NITS and other engineering colleges who know their stuff but are a little hesitant or have a problem with imparting it to students. The university doesn't have a proper textbook and the course topics are from many textbooks, which have to be either bought or borrowed from the library, which is quite exhausting.
Other: College events are fun and the different parties organise it. Dyuthi the cultural college fest is a major crowd puller. Depth events are also fun depending on the department.

GEC Thrissur is overall a great college.
Placements: Placements here are pretty good. Mechanical, ECE, and CSE have the highest percentage of students placed, including decent placements in other branches such as civil, EEE, chemical, and production. The highest package is 50 LPA and the average package goes from 10 LPA to 12 LPA. The top recurring company is Walkaroo and many students have been placed there.
Infrastructure: The college has separate hostels for men and ladies, and it is actually good. The college also has a hockey ground, a football ground, and a basketball court. It has Wi-Fi facility, a good library, and labs. The college has pretty good sports teams and has won many medals.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, and most of them have studied at IITs or NITs. They have very good knowledge in their core branches and help the students a lot in research and projects. Some of them are alumni from the same college itself they help in training great engineers.
Other: Overall, it's a better college.

A good college, definitely the best option for pursuing Chemical Engineering after NITC.
Placements: The college has decent placements. Companies like L&T, Tata, and Reliance are the usual top recruiters. However, placements depend on the skills of the student. Most interviews include basic fundamental questions from high school and higher secondary level. In chemical engineering, topics like heat exchange and distillation columns are very important.
Infrastructure: The physical labs are in pretty poor condition. The digital labs, including computer labs, are better but still not the best. The research labs are excellent. In the regular labs, most equipment is decades old and barely works. The hostel is good, and the food and room facilities together cost up to Rs. 3,000 per month. Hostel admission depends on income and distance from home.
Faculty: Teachers are actually quite good. Most faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive if students approach them. The course alone does not make students industry-ready. Students need to connect with senior professors and do internships in companies like BPCL, FACT, TCC, and HOCL. Semester exams are generally easy if students study even a small portion of the syllabus. The pass percentage is above 80%.
Other: I chose this course mainly due to my interest in chemistry. I initially planned to go for B.Sc. Chemistry, but then I thought engineering would be better since I can branch out to multiple areas of expertise, basically making my career options more versatile. The best part of the course is that the semester is quite fast. We are forced to figure things out in a short span of time. The main thing I am frustrated with the condition of labs and the exam evaluation by KTU. The college conducts a cultural fest called Dyuthi.

Nice memorable college.
Placements: Civil engineering has few placement options because it is more relevant in the government field, but the college still provides good placement opportunities. Even students with supplies are considered for these placements. This college is really in front for placements.
Faculty: The faculty members are so qualified, and they are really pleasant with us. They are well-trained professionals, and they know the correct syllabus. The teachers are really friendly with us students, and they really support us through everything. It is actually quite simple compared to other courses. B.Tech is tough, but I feel like civil engineering is quite easy to pass the examinations. Of course, KTU published our question paper, so yes, that is one problem. They only publish the date of the examination just before.
Other: I love this college because the education system is, of course, good, but the festivals there are amazing. This college gives us an amazing nightlife.

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 college is the best in B.Tech.
Placements: So many friends are placed from GECT. Here are so many students placed in all years and all departments. Electrical and electronics engineering is a very important qualification for each placement cell. The EEE department got placed at Wubics, Digital Core Technology, etc. There is a good placement cell in the electrical and electronics engineering department.
Infrastructure: There are different lab extension halls for all semesters in my college for all departments. The men's hostel and ladies' hostel provide good accommodation and safety. Good food is served in the college canteen.
Faculty: Teachers are very strict and very knowledgeable. The classes are well-presented. Only industrial economics and foreign trade subjects are studied here. The semester exams are prepared and the exam evaluation is at my college. It is a top college in Kerala.
Other: EEE is the most valuable course but it is hard.
