In my opinion, this college is great for students in all courses.

Placements: Around 10 to 15 companies are set to visit our college specifically for students. There will be distinct placement drives for students from other branches. Almost 90% of students get placed each academic year. Every student can apply to all the companies. The top package this year is 25 LPA. I've heard that many students land better jobs after studying here, and this college is ranked first.

Infrastructure: This college is stunning, and the teaching infrastructure is top-notch. There are library facilities available for students. Each department has its own library, and the university library is close to the college. The computer labs and classrooms are not just attractive but also well-equipped with smart technology. Additionally, the college has an auditorium, seminar rooms, sports fields, and a cafeteria where students can connect to Wi-Fi, along with amenities like sports.

Faculty: Our faculty is really strong, most of them have doctorates from top universities. The bond between students and faculty is excellent. Faculty members are friendly and open to questions and discussions, which motivates students to drive deeper into the course material and helps us get assistance when we need it.

Clean campus including neat washrooms facilities.

Placements: The placement record at this college varies from year to year, depending on the overall economy. In 2010, only two students out of a class of 16 were placed. However, in integrated batches of geology and geophysics, some students were placed in foreign companies such as Schlumberger, Total, Cairn, and BP. Indian companies such as ONGC and Reliance did not hire any students that year. The starting salaries at foreign companies such as Schlumberger were in the range of Rs 15-20 lacs, as were those at Total and BP.

Infrastructure: The rooms are spacious with one B.Ed. chair, table and almirah. There are 2 windows in every room for proper ventilation. The meals provided are better than in other hostels. The hostel registration is very easy. One can apply at the time of taking admission. The hostels are built on campus only, so we don't have to travel.

Faculty: The exams were very strict, and even though we studied hard, many students, including some of my seniors, had to retake the chemistry exam. However, the practical exam was very easy because our lab assistant and professor taught very efficiently, so we could learn quickly and correctly.

Clean campus including neat washroom facilities.

Placements: In total, a few engineering departments and science departments will have campus placements. In particular about the department of geology, these days campus placement is not available as off-campus job opportunities are huge. Within six months of the course completion, students will be placed in mining, oil and natural gas, research, groundwater, and many more sectors, either by government agencies or by private agencies (ONGC, OIL, CIL, and organisations like NGRI, ISRO, AMD, GSI, NIO, etc.).

Infrastructure: The hostel is the most pleasant place on the whole campus. I am a hostel student and my experience is very nice. We have a regular-size room with one table, a bed and an almirah. There are 2 seats and 3 seats, both. A registration form is also available on the official website of the college. Meal quality is quite nice; we get a meal 4 times a day.

Faculty: Kerala University is known to be one with a long history. It indeed keeps its dignity in each of its courses. University College is considered to be the best under KU. It provides us with an extraordinary curriculum that helps us reach our dreams in the outer world.

The Ambience and the atmosphere. Support for co curricular activities.

Placements: From the third semester, students become eligible for campus selections. There will be nearly 15-20 companies visiting our college only for CSE students. Separate placement drives will be conducted for other branch students. Nearly 80% of the students will be placed in every academic year. Every student is eligible to apply for all the companies. The highest package of our academic year is 20 LPA. My plan after getting a degree is to pursue post-graduation.

Infrastructure: Festivals occur frequently. College has a book resource of nearly 1 crore books in the college's main library and department libraries. Almost all departments have their libraries. Kerala University Library is also nearby. Overall champions in Kerala university arts and sports NSS unit Sfi unit etc provides great support.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio will be 7:10. The relationship between students and faculty is transparent. Faculty members are approachable and available for questions and discussions, which encourages students to engage more deeply with course materials and allows us to seek help when needed. Beyond teaching, faculty members often serve as mentors, guiding students in their academic pursuits, career planning, and personal growth. The college will conduct two mid-examinations in a semester. After that, the university will conduct the final examination, which has 4 different sets of question papers, and the difficulty level varies for each paper.
