B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering - Batch of 2026

Offered by TIST - Toc H Institute of Science & Technology

4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

I am almost satisfied with the college. Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: About 75% of students are getting placed. If you are skilled, then the college will support you to the maximum, and they will provide opportunities for 100%. Placement coordinators are encouraging and providing training with utmost sincerity and seriousness. Top recruiters are TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, etc. About 50% of students are getting internship opportunities. Top roles offered include software engineer, full-stack developer, etc. The highest package is above 10 LPA, and average is 6 LPA - 7 LPA. The lowest salary will be about 3 LPA - 4 LPA.

Infrastructure: College is providing good infrastructure and facilities. Classrooms are well maintained and furnished, and all classrooms as well as lab are under camera surveillance. They provide a good Wi-Fi connection. I am a hosteler, and it is also maintained properly. Food quality is also okay. They have proper schedule as well as food menu and follow it properly.

Faculty: Faculty members are well experienced, and you can witness 30% faculty will move to government colleges or to industries for much exposure after 1 year of experience. Faculty members are very friendly and their teaching methods are good. KTU syllabus will not make students ready for the industry. For that we cannot blame college but this college is providing special training for students according to the latest trends in industry where they will provide 3 options. We can choose any domain and train according.

Other: I am very much interested in computer science. It is very competitive field and getting a job is not easy. But due to current situation and recession, we are facing some difficulties. University should change its syllabus and train students for the industry, not only for marks, but companies need skilled workers. Around 1500 students studying in the college. I don't feel much crowd, they are conducting many events in a grand manner. The main festival in Advay. Around 300 students are there in hostel. College is 20 KM away from Ernakulam, the nearest town in Arakkunnam, Mulanthuruthy, and Piravom. The railway station is 5 KM from college, and 500 meters from the bus stop.

M.A. in Applied Economics - Batch of 2023

Overall, the best university for an M.A. in Applied Economics course

Placements: 85% of students secured placements, and 70% of our seniors found placements while the remainder pursued their own projects. The maximum package was 10 LPA, the minimum was 1 LPA, and the average was 5 LPA. Numerous enterprises arrived here seeking job positions. 60% of students secured internships across various companies. Roles included data analyst, policy analyst, and others.

Infrastructure: Rooms come with a pair of fans, and there is a continuous supply of water and electricity available around the clock. The meals offered are of high quality, providing nutritious shakes, milk, and fruits during breakfast. Enrollment is completed online via the college's official website, and the costs are fair and manageable for students.

Faculty: Our college's professors and Head of Department are really supportive. Despite the problems with the Diploma, they helped me. The course syllabus is appropriate. The training and placement section teaches students how to participate in interviews, succeed in group discussions, and manage simulated assessments, among other things. The semester exam is quite difficult, with a pass rate of about 45%.

Only for placements, this college is good; for other facilities and infrastructure, it's very bad.

Placements: Placements here are pretty good and I would say that this college is very underrated and overall educational quality is fantastic. The alumni here are at very high positions. Students are getting placed in very big companies like IBM, TCS, Infosys, etc.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure and hostel facility are very poor. There is no proper sports facility and it's a very food-prone area. The financial condition of the college is very poor compared to the main campus. The college doesn't have its own hostel facilities.

Faculty: The teaching staff are well-experienced, with more than 20 years of teaching experience. The staff are very friendly and interactive. The curriculum is not that great since here the semester duration is very short and a lot of portions are left.

Other: The sports facilities here are very poor.

College campus is clean and hygienic. Also, the faculties and the placement record are impressive.

Placements: Our college placement cell is always active and always thinks about the best for the students. Every year, the placement record here is above 90%. Many of our seniors and I have got job offers in various famous companies like Vice, TCS, Wipro, etc. Also, many of us get the opportunity to study abroad for higher studies. The salary package here is four LPA.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure base of our college is beautiful and well-equipped. There is air conditioning in every class. In addition, the classrooms here are quite large and bright. The college has a large library with a large number of books from home and abroad. There is also a playground, gym center, and free Wi-Fi on the campus.

Faculty: Faculty members are all very good and help the students in every way. They are all experienced, and most of them are Ph.D. holders. Through various project practicals, the students are prepared for external interviews and working in companies. The pass rate here is more than 85% every year.

Strong placements but average campus life.

Placements: I recently graduated in 2025 from the computer science and engineering Branch. From my personal experience, the college has a very good placement record. In 2025, a total of 208 jobs were offered across all the branches, and 129 students were placed. The average package ranges around 3.5 LPA-4 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, IBM, UST, TCS, Cognizant, EY, Federal Bank, Infosys, Schneider Electric, etc. Placement opportunities are best in CSE, with around 70%-80% of students in the branch getting placed.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent and includes most essential facilities, but there is still room for improvement. Facilities such as well-maintained classrooms, library, and fab labs are available, although some of the department-specific labs could be better maintained. Wi-Fi is available, but the connectivity is not always reliable. The canteen is decent and hygienic, and the hostels are okay.

Faculty: The faculty is one of the strong points of the college. Most of the faculty members are well-qualified and approachable. They maintain a good teaching standard and are encouraging. The course curriculum is relevant and aligned with university guidelines. With the right effort and guidance, students can become industry-ready. The pass percentage is generally high, and students who put in a reasonable amount of effort usually clear the exams without much trouble.

Other: The one area where the college might fall short is campus life. If you are expecting a vibrant campus life filled with frequent events and fests, then CEC might not fully meet your expectations. While there are events and activities conducted occasionally, they are not as frequent as those in some other colleges. So, if you are looking for a college that focuses strongly on academics, CEC is a great choice. However, if you are someone who prioritizes a dynamic campus life, you may want to weigh your options.

Only known for placements.

Placements: This college offers good placements with different companies. However, last year the highest package was 9 LPA, which was not good, but this year it should be better. People who have started companies and work in good companies come here for orientation. Good placements overall.

Infrastructure: The course is okay, but the Wi-Fi facility is not available. This college is old and a little furnished. The library has books related to the course. Talking about arts, sports, and extracurricular activities, they are not good; I would say few are considered since the new principal arrived. Only study and other practices are considered now.

Faculty: Regular exams are conducted, and the faculty are college-level. For semester exams, you either get plenty of holidays or very few, and most of the fees are remitted soon after the exams are over. Teaching quality is also okay, but most of the time when classes are low, portions are still pending.

Other: Campus life is very poor. If you want to enjoy college, it is not at all recommended, being poorer than other colleges. Only the friend's vibe and poor sports and arts facilities are available.
