Maximum companies would be the core companies.
Placements: Placement results of our discipline are lower than other department results but alumni of our discipline work in good companies with top-rated packages. They were assured of providing at least one offer with minimal pay which helps to develop skills and work experience. They are good at building networking among core companies.
Infrastructure: Possibilities for exploring industrial visits, and tours are very less but students are allowed for such activities at least once a year. Immediate suspension is raised from the side of college management if we are involved in any unnecessary activities. Food shortages often occur in the canteen zones.
Faculty: As my disciplines mostly belong to the core segment, so mostly include practical knowledge and experience. For uniqueness and complexity, I completely chose this destination. Teachers are enriched with years of excellence in the field of mechanical engineering.

The college with good recognition.
Placements: The percentage of recruitment from the computer science and engineering department is up to 75% randomly and it is the highest when compared with other courses. The type of training decided by ourselves to attend would decide the pay gained by us in the future. I chose the extreme level of training so I got a package of 13.5 LPA.
Faculty: Special attention to students is given by the faculty members, which creates partition among Us. Sometimes faculty members decide the range for students in academics by themselves which makes some students lose their interest in studies. I would give them 3.5 out of 5 stars for their teaching.
Other: Crowd campus with a thousand of graduates completing their full-time courses from our college. The perspectives of our college in providing education to the students are different from others which is somewhat creative and innovative. Sometimes, some extra charges are collected yearly by showing some reasons.

I am satisfied with the coaching but stressed about placements.
Placements: I'm sure there will be a lot of trouble while approaching campus segments. The placement ending is not the same as reports they published. Students have the capability to catch up with offers of a price range between 2.8-3.9 LPA for a year. The percentage of students who get placed ranges between 50-60% annually.
Infrastructure: Within the college, we are under the control of the representative staff members. The management decides the representative staff members who are responsible for the student's activities within the campus zone. Attendance reports are maintained for each period even if it's a leisure hour.
Faculty: Faculty members are good at solving problems in all areas. They are quite calm at all times except during teaching. I got passed my degree with distinction grades.
Other: Moreover, my personal interests stimulate me to choose the Master of Science in Mathematics.

Overall perspectives of mine.
Placements: The comprehensive course curriculum and diverse career opportunities in electronics offer students a wide range of prospects, from embedded systems, telecommunication and VLSI design. The mean package provided to the hired students would potentially between 4.3 LPA to 6.17 LPA.
Faculty: They provided nurturing guidance, helping students navigate challenges and unlock their potential. Their dedication inspires confidence and motivates students to excel. But most of the teachers often navigate to some other colleges for some reasons. For me, exams were the most boring subject of all time.
Other: Students showcase extensive performance in various technical and non-technical fields. Events are organized in the college for the isolated students' union of all the disciplines. So the organisation was literally busy managing the colleges and didn't have enough time to deal with these problems.

As being a fresher of IIT, Palakkad.
Placements: Our college placement team only allows students with zero backlogs for placement recruitment. While others are required to attend drives for the companies offering the lowest salary packages. Mostly top performers in academics got placed in good companies and rest of them got placed in other companies.
Faculty: The overall students' rate of success in exams is above 80% all year. For getting such results, we are motivated by faculty members, and they actively making arrangements for scholarships and rewards to lessen the tuition fees required for studying. Faculty members are well-known for their contributions in terms of academics to the department and to the college. Even now, teachers are more scared about their professional growth and keep on improving the same. They also share useful ideas to crack the exams in our first attempt itself.

Quite disappointed with the facilities.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure and facilities available for our course are average. Classrooms and labs are outdated and getting old. The hostel rooms are small and comfortable. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is hygienic. No time to play sports.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and experienced. They always help students in classes and on the campus. The teaching quality is awesome. Curriculum activities only happen at the start of semester. The semester exams are difficult and have to study a whole year to score.
