    Absolutely satisfied with IIT Palakkad.
    Placements: IIT Palakkad had an impressive placement rate of 95 percent and students had a variety of companies to choose from. Companies like JP Morgan, Deloitte, Hindalco etc. Many others arrived for student recruitment. Internships were provided by the college itself every year.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure here was excellent and all facilities were available for students including Wi-Fi, labs, a library, sports facilities and medical services. The campus life was amazing and all necessary amenities were provided to students. The food quality in the canteen was very good with a variety of options available.
    Faculty: Faculty members here were well-educated and quite experienced, but they were very rude. Their teaching methods were not effective, and students faced many difficulties in understanding the lessons. However, the course curriculum was relevant and helped make students industry-ready. Semester examinations required a lot of attention, and the passing percentage was above 40%.

    I lived a manifested life at IIT Palakkad.
    Placements: I gave a rating of 4.5 out of 5, as it is known for its excellent placement performance. It was one of the top courses for placements with good networking connections among the alumni. The placement team worked hard throughout the year to create records for recruitment.
    Infrastructure: For every department, there were usually 8 to 10 classrooms with required features like smart boards, green boards, projectors, and laptops or computers. To protect students from health issues. A hygienic environment was maintained with clean restrooms and sanitized study areas.
    Faculty: Teachers made students more interactive and attentive by approaching lesson plans with their own creative ideas, which was quite impressive and encouraged students to engage in class without fail. They took their own time to complete the syllabus without any pressure.

Preparing for examinations, writing exams, validating papers, and then preparing for the next exams was the routine for academic excellence that happened in our college. Every student's status was communicated to their parents by the class charge.

    Quite disappointed with the facilities.
    Placements: The percentage of the students who are placed in my course is 55%. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 6 LPA. The lowest package is 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, Capgemini, and TCS. Many students also got internships.
    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.
