I finished my master's program at IIT Palakkad.

Placements: According to the census report, most students were interested in pursuing a master’s degree after their bachelor’s. While 42 to 45 percent of students successfully received offer letters from various companies. There was no active connectivity with the Alumni students.

Faculty: Teachers were highly motivating and encouraging and truly deserved their pay. They also showed their interest in various activities like social clubs. They truly built a good image with students, and they were creative thinkers and good innovators too. A specific day was allotted for doing practical projects, and on that day, it was mandatory to bring our laboratory records and other necessary things. The process was handled by staff in charge, and technical assistants were always there to correct our mistakes while doing practical experiments.

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.
