University College in the heart of Trivandrum.

Placements: I didn't get any placement opportunities from this college. None of them gets any campus placement from our department. Major roles offered in my course are getting an opportunity in the teaching field by qualifying UGC NET. The teachers always recommend history students to qualify NET and become assistant professors.

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

Placements: Around 70-82 students have been placed, with the highest being around 29 LPA, the lowest being 5 LPA, and the average being 16 LPA. Deloitte, Hindustan Times, Manah Wellness, etc., are among the recruiters. I don't know what percentage of students got internships, but it's a decent number, around 53-65%. Roles include research scientist, health educator, and more.

University College Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram

Placements: The percentage of students who got placement is too low. Only 10 percentage of students get placement. But the academics are too good. The students get a lot of opportunities to develop a good career. The students can take part in so many programs to develop their abilities.

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.

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...
