University College in the heart of Trivandrum.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified, but majority of them are selfish and not cooperative. Curriculum doesn't make students industry-ready. Exams are not properly conducted. Have a great library for department. This course in this college has a great role in the ranking of this university and provides the creation of a lot of memorable alumni.

Overall, it's the best college for an M.Sc. in Psychology Course.

Faculty: Our teachers are the greatest in this college, and they are quite pleasant. To be honest, we are very grateful to our teachers. The teachers were really helpful, skilled, and informed about the subject. It was a very good student-to-faculty ratio. Semester exams are fairly easy, with a pass rate of more than 90%. .

Clean campus including neat washrooms facilities.

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.

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

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 ...

A college which should be experienced .

Faculty: The teachers are qualified as per the notification from the government. The teachers are not spoon-feeding us. They are helping us do our graduation ourselves.

I am dissatisfied with our college placements, and the scholarships are not disbursed correctly.

Faculty: Teachers are generally helpful, but some are not. They are qualified and knowledgeable. They come to our classes and utilize the laboratory for various purposes. Semester exams are conducted in quick sessions, and at times, we don't get sufficient time for studies. The results are often delayed.

The college is best for doing an M.Sc. here.

Faculty: The curriculum is very dedicated and educational. In graduation, you choose three subjects, out of which one is your honors subject and three are core subjects. Other than that, you'll have an ancillary subject and a language subject. If you want to prepare for some competition exams in the future, then it's very helpful. All three core subjects have two papers to study, and language and ancillary have one paper each. The exam structure is semester-wise; you have to appear for 8 papers in one se...
