This college is for students who want to explore and have the college atmosphere at the same time.

Faculty: The faculty members on campus are very good at teaching and are open to any doubts. They will definitely make you understand the course. Coming to the course, you will find extra time to learn other subjects. Compared to the other colleges here, you will study most of the subjects in advance. There is one mid semester examination and one final semester examination in the curriculum.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They help us like friends in case of subject doubts. Many of them have graduated from top NITs and IITs, not only this they all have lots of experience. Our course curriculum helps us a lot. Because compared to many IITs and some NITs I can definitely say that our curriculum is better than those. The reason behind this is our campus follows a curriculum that is similar to that of IIIT Hyderabad which is considered one of the best curriculum. Semester exams on our campu...

Absolutely dissatisfied with the college because my college life became so bad in this college.

Faculty: Teachers only provide the slides in the classroom. The curriculum is great for CSE students. Exam patterns are not good and the grading is so complicated that you will not understand it even in the full 4 years of your college. Passing percentage is 30 percent .

Overview of Indian Institute of Information Technology Kottayam .

Faculty: The curriculum is good, which follows IIITH's curriculum. The faculty is friendly, and the examinations are reduced, which makes it stress-free for students. Being a IIIT, it solely depends on industry preparing subjects like CS communications and personality development.

Satisfied with Infrastructure of IIIT Kottayam.

Faculty: Some teachers are very supportive, while others display a degree of partiality. Overall, teaching quality is good, though semester exams are challenging, with a low pass rate of around 5.5. Mid-semester exams, however, are manageable.

Decent placements and developing infrastructure and facilities, but fees are slightly overpriced.

Faculty: Teaching quality is good. Teachers are mostly helpful, humble, qualified and knowledgeable about a variety of research domains. There's a lot to learn from some of them. The course curriculum is really great considering that it has some similarities to that of IIIT Hyderabad. Students can get industry ready but they need to push themselves more than anything. Semester exams have moderately difficult levels (depending on the faculty who sets the paper) with a very high pass percentage.

Continuously upgrading and developing skills relevant to the desired field enhances employability.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful with our projects, and assistants like Ph.D. scholars help us with lab activities. The curriculum is good. It helps students get internships. The question papers in midterm and semester exams are of moderate to high difficulty. The passing criteria require a 5 CGPA.

Yes, with a 13,355 JEE Main rank, you're within IIIT Kottayam's CSE cutoff range (13,510–33,766 in 2025 Round 1), so admission is very likely if category and seat availability align.
