B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2025

Overall, the college is okay.

Placements: An average of about 70 to 80 percent of students get placed. The highest package is 20 LPA, the average package is 9 LPA, and the lowest package is not known. Top recruiters include Microsoft, Google, Infosys, IBM, Tata, Mahindra, etc. Most students get internships. It includes paid ones, in the college in roles like Designer, Builder, Aerospace Engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: I'm not quite sure about the infrastructure of the college hostel, as I stay in a private hostel. Only students whose hometown is far from the college get the college hostel. The hostel fees are minimal, and the food is very good. Facilities are okay. There is not much more to expect from these hostels. There is slight ragging, but we can't even call that ragging.

Faculty: Faculty members are okay. They teach decently. Although they are not the best, they are good enough. We cannot expect experts in every field to teach us. Faculty members are friendly, most of them. Some are not friendly, but that is the case in every college.

Other: I personally like mechanics, so I chose this stream. The college could improve its infrastructure, update the teaching methods, and syllabus. Events are okay. Do not expect IIT-level events.

Faculty is good but placements in some courses are low. College has good infrastructure.

Placements: The placement is low in the college. Core companies don't visit often for placements. Branches like mechanical engineering have least placement while computer science has the highest. Students can attend internships and later join companies.

Infrastructure: College has a good infrastructure and includes labs, workshops, library, etc. Campus Wi-Fi is provided for student usage. Classrooms have digital board for teaching. College have limited hostel capacity so first year students are less likely to get into college hostel so they have to stay in private hostels. The hostel food is good. College provides sports facilities including different sports courts and gymnasium.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful in bringing up a good engineering career. Teachers often give short lectures, and students have to refer to studying it in depth. The new scheme of KTU i.e., 2024 scheme is relevant to the current industries but students have to keep up with industry developments through clubs like IEEE, ISTE, etc.

Other: Mechanical engineering department is versatile enough to deviate into many fields. College curriculum can provide more exposure, which could be helpful. The college life is so active and often has fests like RITU, KELI, etc. College have active NSS units. Government scholarships and some private scholarships could be availed for this course. Campus is green and the vibe.

Autonomous colleges are better than colleges following the KTU syllabus.

Placements: The placement opportunities offered by our college are very good. Around 50% of students are placed in every passing batch. The highest salary package is around 2 LPA. The lowest package is 1 LPA, and the average is around 1.5 LPA in our course. Top companies offering placements are L&T, Tata, and Shobha Construction. Around 85% of students are getting internship offers in each batch, and the companies are Cochin Shipyard, L&T, FACT, and Apollo Tyres. The placement cell provides a better environment for students to get a job in the core field itself.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college and hostel is poor. The condition of the electronic gadgets is bad because they don't have proper maintenance. Hostels sometimes have problems with the water because channels are not maintained properly. But the hostels give us a peaceful ambiance. The college is situated on almost 86 acres of land, and each department is situated at a distance of minimum 500M.

Faculty: Teachers are well-dedicated and strict. They are very helpful to the students. They are well-dedicated to completing their portions in time, and they almost do it. Exams are conducted on time. Internal exams are conducted every month to check the understanding of students.
