Good infrastructure, decent professors, & average placements, but much politics among the crowd.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful. Many professors guide you to pursue research under them, and let us be part of the paper and give us credit for making us authors. Exams are not so difficult, though, because of relative grading, and grades also depend on your peers.

The campus has good infrastructure and placements, but fees are a bit high.

Faculty: All the teachers are highly knowledgeable and always there to answer all our doubts. The course followed by the college has a well-updated curriculum with only industry-relevant topics. However, the exams and course load are a bit hectic with lots of exams, but this is balanced by adequate leave.

IIIT Kottayam has strong academics and placements, but it needs better facilities and connectivity.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is average, neither good nor bad. The curriculum is relevant, and I think it is one of the best curricula in India. It makes the students industry-ready. The exams are okay. The pass percentage may be above 90%.
