Placements: Considering it was a realistic emerging scope, there will be massive offers available for the specific disciplines, with the top offers of 17.8 LPA.

It has a problematic subject with a lot of problems.
Placements: The placement office assists students in finding the right career path in different fields. It recommends several job offers in the referral colleges. Some of the corporate companies and banking sectors remained as the active recruiters in positions like quant engineer, teaching, researchers, etc.
Faculty: We will not see any growth in the teaching patterns of lectures that simply repeat the same material for students from all semesters. Lectures motivate students by their actions, which is disappointing for students with a lot of desire and wishes. General counseling is provided to all students once a month, considering students' concerns and worries. They took some steps to rectify it. Standards of college keep on shining. There is no space for creating disturbances and distractions in students' academic education.

Recommended to join some other departments.
Placements: CSG talents, Navartis, Goodwin recruiting, and Davron exclusively sourcing talents from civil engineering. They would hire 22 to 30% of students randomly. Top recruiters were paid off yearly for smooth running of the drive process. Also, placement team arranged skill development class.
Infrastructure: Learners from multiple regions of the country were continuing their academic journey at IIT Palakkad. The overall food cooked in the canteen and hostel areas won't meet the expectations of the students. So, most of the hostel students shifted somewhere and vacated the hostel areas.
Faculty: Overall strength of the students in our department was 32 which was above 40 on the previous year. Teachers were so manipulative and frustrating, especially in the time of fee dues. Teachers won't allow us to write model exams when we had spending fee payment. Teachers were more dedicated to the higher authorities of college.
