Really nice college if you are looking for placements.
Placements: About 80-85 percent of students are placed, and in the Computer Science branch about 95 percent of students are placed. Top recruiting companies like Google, Intel, etc., taking students from this college, which has branches like Electronics and Communication, Computer Science, etc.
Infrastructure: The college has free Wi-Fi, a library, an Idea Lab, and a canteen which is nice, along with football, basketball, volleyball, etc. Teams, MEC has an Idea Lab where we can do our own projects and assignments, and in addition, we have Fab Lab facilities too.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and determined, most of the teachers here have PhDs in their respective fields. The college follows KTU’s new 2024 scheme which is more updated than the older one, and the faculty trains us to excel in the semester exams.

Above average placements, bad infrastructure, and strong alumni network.
Placements: 78.88 percent of students are placed in 2025 through campus placements. UST Global, Redbus, Litmus7 Systems Consulting, and KeyValue are some of the top recruiting companies. Information about top roles is not available. The highest package is 32 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA.
Infrastructure: College is very old and small. We have only 2 academic blocks for 7 departments. Wi-Fi is available but very slow. Classrooms are old and lack smart facilities. Library does have all the necessary books. Mens' hostel is very old and needs maintenance. Ladies' hostel is quite new. The mess available in both hostels is better than the mess in most private hostels. Canteen is run by Kudambashree. The food is cheap and average. Medical facilities are not good but there is a good government. Health center is within walking distance. We have one football ground, basketball court, and volleyball court.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and better than most government colleges. We are affiliated with KTU. Curriculum was revised in 2024. It is the most industry-ready curriculum in Kerala. According to new curriculum, internship is necessary to pass the course. The semester exams are challenging enough. More than 90 percent of students pass in computer science and engineering.
Other: I chose this course because I am passionate about computers, and it provides the best placement opportunities. Our college is situated at the heart of Kochi and near Kakkanad InfoPark, giving the best exposure for students. Subjects that are not relevant in modern computer science should not be taught in college (like physics, chemistry, and engineering graphic). We host one of the best tech fest in Kerala. Most clubs are pretty active here. As the college is very small, its pretty small.

Strong placements, supportive community, and a vibrant campus life.
Placements: Model Engineering College (MEC), Thrikkakara, records strong placements, with around 75% of B.Tech students placed in 2025 and CSE/ECE achieving 100%. The highest package reached 44 LPA, with a median of 6.3 LPA. Recruiters include Amazon, Google, IBM, Intel, Deloitte, Cognizant, Oracle, Bosch, and Jio. Internships are offered every semester, supported by the alumni network and industry links. Roles span software engineering, development, core engineering, analyst, and consulting positions.
Infrastructure: At Model Engineering College (MEC), Thrikkakara, students enjoy a vibrant campus with SMART classrooms, well-equipped labs, a central library full of books and digital resources, and fast Wi-Fi everywhere. Sports lovers have space for football, basketball, badminton, and more. The boys' hostel is on campus, the girls' hostel is nearby, and both offer comfortable rooms with tasty veg and non-veg meals. There's also a health center for quick medical help. Life here isn't just about academics. Events like the tech fest, Excel, active student clubs, and cultural activities make campus life lively and well-rounded.
Faculty: At Model Engineering College (MEC), Thrikkakara, the faculty are well-qualified, approachable, and supportive, making classes engaging and clearing doubts effective. The KTU-based curriculum blends theory and practical work, generally seen as relevant, though some feel it could be more industry-focused. Semester exams are of moderate to high difficulty, often drawing from previous years' papers, and can be managed with focused preparation. Pass percentage ranges from about 75% to 100%, varying by branch and batch. Overall, the teaching quality, structured curriculum, and supportive environment help students build strong fundamentals while preparing for careers in engineering and technology.
Other: I chose this engineering course because MEC stood out for its strong placements, vibrant tech culture, and solid alumni network that genuinely boosts your learning beyond classrooms. One of the best things is the peer support. Seniors, peers, and alumni all help you grow, and our flagship tech fest, Excel, is a thrilling highlight each year. That said, I wish the campus were a bit bigger and offered more hangout spots outside academics. While scholarships like merit-cum-means ease finance, the extracurricular scene, especially clubs like IEEE, TinkerHub, and the art and sports fests, makes MEC feel like home.

Good placements, small campus.
Placements: Placements are pretty good at Model Engineering College compared to other engineering colleges. Electronics and biomedical have low placements compared to other departments. The highest placements in core EBE companies are 20 Lacs per annum, according to my knowledge.
Infrastructure: Model Engineering College has a small campus compared to other engineering colleges. The college has both ladies' hostel and gents' hostel. The college has Wi-Fi, and the labs are also good at the Model Engineering College. A better hands-on experience is provided through labs.
Faculty: All teachers are qualified and skilled. They are also helpful in career building. Semester exams are easy if you study well. It is not that tough to pass an exam if you study well. The pass percentage in MEC is high compared to other colleges.

Excellent college with placements and skill development but has some infrastructure constraints.
Placements: In EEE last year, almost 80% of students were placed in different companies. Overall placements for CS are very much higher than for other branches. Reputed companies like Visa, Redbus, etc., are regular recruiters from our college. In my course, top recruiters are Kalkitech, Hitachi, Synopsys, etc.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not that big compared to other colleges but now new buildings are being built. College provides a hostel inside the college campus and ladies' hostel near college. Canteen facility is good. Sports and games are also great. Usually college annual sports meet Chakravyuh, and arts fest Layatharang happens in the even semester.
Faculty: Faculty members are really helpful. They are highly qualified. Most of the senior faculty members are Ph.D. holders. College is affiliated with KTU. Its curriculum is under KTU. Usually, the semester exams are medium to difficult range. But if you study atleast the PYQ thoroughly you can get through the exams. Our college has a pass percentage of almost 80%.

It's a good choice for college in Kochi.
Placements: College offers very good placements compared to other contemporaries. Number of companies visiting for CS is more followed by Electronics. Other branches do have placements but a bit less in core. A dedicated placement cell run by students is one important plus point of MEC.
Infrastructure: Good academic infrastructure, but a bad hostel experience for girls. Food and accommodation are not that good for college ladies hostel. Library is abundant. One thing that is lacking is lack of space, not much recreational space available in college.
Faculty: Exams and all are held strictly. No issues of strike and all due to a lack of political organizations within college premises. Faculty is okay, some good, some bad. Well, you can't expect highly dedicated teachers in a government organisation. KTU curriculum is kind. Have to study a lot of concepts ourselves.
Other: There are a lot of clubs to connect with. Another thing I like is the arts and sports fest.
