Kerala University: Atmosphere, Curriculum, Placement, and others.

Placements: Placements are very low in Kerala University. Most of the courses do not provide placement options. However, the graduation certificate is largely accepted by job providers. Direct college placements are very rare, even though a Placement Cell is actively working in the University.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure facilities are comparatively poor. The college was built under the British rule and counted as the first university in Kerala. So the historically backgrounds are also being a limit for more maintenance and works. Hostel facilities are available For both boys and girls with food and accommodation the hostel fee are up to 2500 per month.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are well-trained and experienced. The faculty members always provide a friendly atmosphere in the college. The curriculum includes the basic and wide idea of the subject, but it should also include more recent studies and developments alongside classical ideas. The semester exams are comparatively easy to crack. A student should get a C grade to pass the exam.

Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in it. And I chose the college because it got a NAAC A+ grade and is the number 1 college in Kerala. The study atmosphere and cultural programmes are very astonishing in the college. Various scholarships are provided for almost every student, based on their caste and academic excellence.
