Overall, best college for M.Com course.
Placements: For adults, my college was a great place to learn. To get employed by a respectable company, you must meet their requirements. Almost 70% of students who earned an average salary of Rs. 25 LPA were able to get home. The most costly package on the market was Rs. 35 LPA. Among the firms present to take on the project were Tata Steel, Axis Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank.
Infrastructure: Our campus was situated on 50 acres of land. The university was the only college in Kerala with a huge auditorium and a fully equipped laboratory for computer and public use. The dormitory for girls was located outside the school, while the hostel for boys was located inside. Additionally, there was a football and cricket field.
Faculty: Teaching quality was just normal but the effort and organisation of our branch teachers was so awesome and cool that it makes us very happy to talk to them and enjoy the subject. As our curriculum was new, we did not know what would happen to them in the next semester. But our faculty members were very supportive. Semester exams were not difficult, and pass rate was over 83%.

Review of Central University of Kerala.
Placements: I am part of the first batch of integrated B.A. B.Ed. students at Central University of Kerala. Currently, the second batch is also here. The NTA conducts the NCET exam, and the scorecard has been published. This program requires dual degree students to have above-average marks. From the applicants, students with higher marks and those from EWS and other reserved categories are selected for admission. Regarding the package, the semester fee varies for each student. The total four-year fee is approximately 2 lakhs. For MBA and M.Com, which are business courses, campus interviews and placements are available.
Infrastructure: The college has a dedicated department building and separate classrooms with good infrastructure. There is a good library with books related to various subjects. Itep students have their hostel named Kabani and a common mess for boys and girls separately. The mess is managed by a private company that provides average-quality food. The sports meet is called Urja, and other games are also organized.
Faculty: All teachers hold Ph.D. degrees and are experienced. They are permanent faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant and includes extensive knowledge, seminars, assignments, learner-centric activities, and student internship programs. Semester exams are of average difficulty, with questions prepared and evaluated by our own teachers. Grades are assigned based on overall student performance, including seminars, assignments, and written exams. A minimum of 50% is required to pass.
Other: I chose this course because it offers a dual degree within four years, and the certificate has more value than those from typical government colleges. This course builds students' confidence and helps develop leadership qualities. There are only 150 students per batch. Other campus programs are very nice.

It is a campus for students' future.
Placements: We are the first batch of Integrated B.Sc. B.Ed in CUK. So that cutoff score is comparatively low. But the following admission process required above-average marks. The course offers a degree in science and also a B.Ed within 4 years. The campus contains students from various parts of the country. It will provide an opportunity to understand their culture and develop good communication skills.
Infrastructure: Facilities in the hostel and college are good. Each classroom is digitalised and science students have separate labs for physics, zoology, chemistry, and botany. Free Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and department. The library has various books on almost all subjects. A new library building with more facilities is in progress. Hostel facilities are good. Mess food is provided by the food sutra company, so we need to pay Rs. 2700 each month. Aravalli Medical Center is available with a 24x7 ambulance facility. Various extracurricular activities like Urja sports meet and Cankama arts fest, etc., are organised.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. There are few vacancies for permanent teaching posts. The course curriculum is relevant because it combines BE and degree, which includes teaching practice, internship, and seminars. Students can attend national seminars conducted by the university. We can score maximum in semester exams because a series of class tests are there along with official internal tests. So that students get practice to approach exams.
Other: The course is a good option for those who want a double degree along with extracurricular development. ITEP is the largest department on the campus. The campus actively celebrates sports, arts, and games such as football, volleyball, and cricket. It also gives good practice to participate in south zone and national competitions.

Sports and games are not much concerned even though we have sports meet Urja once a year.
Faculty: As ITEP is a newly introduced course, it has its own difficulties initially but when compared to other universities and colleges that provide. Central University of Kerala can be considered as a good option because it's more effective than the other. There are permanent faculty members appointed in B.Sc. course and each course have permanent course coordinators.
Other: It's a new course and the major attraction is a dual degree within 4 years a UG degree and a B.Ed degree.
