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.

Nice faculty members, good college.
Placements: Placements are very low for the Mechanical Engineering branch, as the branch isn't NAAC accredited. The first Mechanical batch starts in 2020. Only about 25% of students from this branch get placed. However, top recruiting companies visit our college, like L and T, Sobha Construction, etc.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very small. There is a small canteen and a very small library that lacks quality books. But, there are lots of computer labs, a small internal auditorium, a volleyball court, a ground, and ample parking space for students and faculty members.
Faculty: Teachers are very friendly and helpful, they are more like friends. The course curriculum is a bit outdated. It is very hard to get pretty good grades in this branch. The KTU 19 scheme is very outdated. Students need to study very hard to get good grades.
Other: I do not have much campus life as the college is very small and the student strength is also low. But, we have our Excel and Veltech Fest happening every year in the month of January.

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.

I am dissatisfied with infrastructure, but our college provides good placements and high packages.
Placements: Almost 80% of students got placed in our branch. The placement rate of our course is above average due to alumni support. It decreased now compared to past years. The highest salary package offered in 2023 to 2 students was 50 LPA. Our college will provide very high competition for placements in the coming years.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in our course are very poor. Despite having limited infrastructure and facilities, the college has increased the number of branches, leading to a shortage of classrooms and labs. The college hostel for women is very bad.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful. The teaching quality is good for most of the subjects (main subjects). The course is not enough to make students industry-ready. Semester exams are of moderate level. Around 100% of students pass exams in our class. Some teachers are very friendly.
