Masters course in the department of Physics.

Placements: As 70% of graduates got placed on campus, from them 73% of students got placed in core companies like Dell, LG Electronics, Hyundai, and the rest of them got hired in their passionate roles like banking, software roles. There are no certain limitations for the students to participate in any of the companies arriving on the campus.

For master's courses in all the departments, only 40 seats are available. Seats are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Faculty: Teachers take the curriculum that is highly relevant to the subject according to the regulations.

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.

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.

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.

Master's studies in my native place.

Placements: Firstly, the most talented M.Sc. graduates got hired by the college as assistant professors. Also, the interested graduates are permitted to participate in the company drives that commonly occur. Blockrock offers the highest pay for students in the role of finance and banking.

Infrastructure: It's a campus where even the unknown strangers immediately help us when we reach out to them. It's a cool, hill hostel with fewer conditions, but it's mandatory to fill out the hostel records while living and entering the hostel zones. Transport facilities are available for good safety purposes.

Faculty: Teachers are much quicker at solving complex problems very easily. They had given unique ideas to remember the formulas used in the class. Also, with their guidance, even the failing students pass the papers with good grades. Teachers usually preferred to solve problems in the textbooks.
