B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2029

Overall its a good campus. The only negative I felt is that there is no playground.

Placements: Am a 1st year Mechanical Engineer student. For my branch, around 20-40% of the students get placed, which is less compared to other branches. The average salary package for mechanical engineering will be around 6 to 8 LPA, whereas the highest would be around 12 LPA, and the lowest would be around 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies include Tata Elxsi, IBM, Oracle, EY, and several other IT-based companies that hire mechanical Engineers. About 50 - 60% of the students get internships from companies like Tata Elxsi, Accubits, TCS, Infosys, etc. Top roles include design engineer, Quality engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: The college has good infrastructure facilities. This college has one of the largest mechanical workshops compared to other government colleges in Kerala. It has a good lab facility, a good classroom atmosphere, a library with a wide variety of books, clean washrooms, etc. The college canteen is small and doesn't have much variety of food, but the food that is provided is overall good. This college has active teams in almost every sports event, but there is no playground in the college, which is its biggest negative. The college doesn't have a hostel facility. But several hostels and rent house are available in the nearby locality.

Faculty: This is one of the few government colleges in Kerala where all the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering department hold a doctorate. Thus, the quality of faculty is very good. The course curriculum is based on KTU. The syllabus is updated every 4 years. The semester exams have become tougher in recent years. The pass percentage of students in the mechanical engineering batch is around 60%.

Other: The annual flagship cultural fest of the college is called Cult A Way. It's a grand event for which every SCTian is waiting. It's a 3-day event mainly taking place during the month of April or May. It's one of the biggest college cultural festivals in Kerala. For more about it you can check the office Cult A Way instagram handle.

SCT review facilities, studies, and campus space.

Placements: 14 students entered into companies and got placed. The highest is Rs. 30,000. The lowest is Rs. 17,000. These are just not sure. To my knowledge, most of them got placed in good companies. Many got placed in average companies also. Good companies like TCS, Tata Elexi, etc., visit the college.

Infrastructure: The space is very small but still, they are making the most of it by providing facilities. Even though they are old, limited sources are there. Water tank facilities are very poor. Most of the time, it contains bacteria. The need for a ground is very important at our college.

Faculty: All teachers are highly qualified and up to the mark. They have done their accomplishments. Some are weak in subject knowledge. The course does make them industry-ready, but only in some subjects. They are okay. 92% is the pass percentage.

The college was good in the past, but now it is just a shadow of what it used to be.

Placements: Around 50% of students get placed directly last year, which is a decline compared to previous years. The placement rates are decreasing. The highest package is around 5 LPA for a student working at a Tamil Nadu nuclear plant. The lowest packages are from IT companies, averaging about 20,000 per month.

Infrastructure: The college doesn't have its own hostel. The campus is very small and doesn't have a football ground or proper sports facilities. The mechanical lab has outdated equipment that is not commonly used in the industry today. There is free Wi-Fi in the library, and the library facility is good.

Faculty: Faculty members are really helpful, but most of them teach only theory, as if they are teaching high school students. They don't focus much on the practical aspects. However, the staff who do teach effectively deliver their lessons with maximum effort.

Other: I opt for Mechanical Engineering because I am fascinated by how an engineer can craft new things with advancements in technology. However, here, there is only theoretical study and no practical activities. The potential of many students is wasted.

I recommend this college because the crowd and campus life are very good.

Placements: Around 90% of students were placed in my college, with placement opportunities in companies like TCS, UST, Tata Elxsi, Infosys, and many others. The average salary package offered through placement is 5 lacs per annum, while the highest package is 15 lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: SCT is one of the best colleges in Trivandrum, providing an overall well-developed character. The campus features a mild mix of campus politics with good educational facilities that really develop informed graduates. SCT boasts one of the largest workshop blocks and modern facilities, including libraries and labs. The overall campus life offers a vibrant and inclusive environment. The main disappointment is that the college lacks hostel facilities and a college ground.

Faculty: Faculty members should have good teaching skills, the ability to engage students, and provide clear communication and mentorship. The faculty members are highly qualified, with advanced degrees (M.Tech, Ph.D.) in their fields. The KTU syllabus is not difficult; in fact, it is much easier compared to what you encounter in 12th grade.

Other: I’m interested in designing and building machines and mechanisms. The course provides opportunities for hands-on learning and experimentation with a variety of specializations, enhancing opportunities for innovation and creativity. SCT College hosts the biggest fest, Cult Away, every year.

A perfect college for an all-in-one experience in engineering.

Placements: Above 80% of the students are placed in reputed companies. Besides being specific to companies, every course we take can guarantee a placement given the student's performance in the semester. Tata Elxsi is one of the top companies that recruits our students. In addition, we have internships that are offered by most of the companies that have major tie-ups with our campus.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is standard. It was modernized quite recently with smart classes. Computer labs are more customized. We have a variety of collections in the library. High-quality food is provided in the canteen. The labs are set up separately. Workshops are equipped with top-quality equipment.

Faculty: The faculty members are highly committed to our academic matters. Internals are manageable given that we are putting in ample effort. Semesters are set to be tough. However, a very good performance in internals can help you pass semesters easily. We need 75 marks overall in all subjects to be considered passed.

Other: One of the most demanding streams is mechanical engineering. We also have a lot of seats available for this course. Looking at events, they are conducted very frequently, both by the college and the political system.

Good college with good atmosphere!

Placements: There are 80% of student gets placed in each class each year. The top recruiting company for Mechanical engineering is Bajaj Mahindra and many core companies. Many students also get placed in non-core companies like TCS, Infosys and many companies, where good laboratory skills and technical skills are given to all students from the side of the college.

Infrastructure: The college does not have a playground which is a big drawback of Sree Chithra Thirunal college. And there is a lack of space in the college, all the lab is good. And they are always active and awell-established, and all the books are present department-wise.

Faculty: The faculty is not that good because some teachers are not interested in teaching. But many teachers are good in our department, and they provide study materials for us to study. There will be two internal examinations before the main semester examination. They are of moderate difficulty.

Other: The cultural fest of SCT is cult a way that is a big fest and is famous throughout the whole Trivandrum.
