Student centric teachers.

The overall placement success of college is 85.3% in 2025.

Infrastructure: Central University of Kerala offers more than 50 courses which is incredible. It has separate hostel facilities for male and female candidates with all the essential amenities. They also recommend some of PG if candidates are not comfortable with hostel accommodation.

M.Sc. in Physics - Batch of 2023

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best university for M.Sc. in Physics course.

Placements: This institute offers its students the best opportunities for mobility. Approximately 85% of the students get placement in our college. The average package offered in our programme ranges from 7 to 13 LPA. Reputed companies like NTPC, IOCL, ONGC, etc., acted as contractors in this study. Top roles were Research Scientist, Data Scientist, etc. About 80% of students got their internships.

Fast Wi-Fi was consistently available, and the classrooms were cozy. The resources in the library were quite remarkable, they effectively utilize technology and offer extensive practical insights.

Faculty: Teachers in our college help, support, and give notes to students. The course curriculum was reviewed annually. There were also programs for teachers and the course. It helps to add important things to our curriculum each year. Teachers often teach with words. The semester exams were a bit tougher, and the pass rate was around 65%.

Review of Central University of Kerala.

Placements: There is no 100% placement guarantee. Only the placement cell came with some companies and if we can give our 100% in interviews, they will select us. There are no such top companies hiring from the Central University of Kerala, and it always invites average companies. The salary offered is above Rs. 20,000 per month.

Infrastructure: There is high-speed Wi-Fi in every department and hostel. Every department has its own library and there is a common library also. There is a good quality hostel and average food facility for the entire people.

Faculty: It provides quality teaching. Faculty members are knowledgeable. M.Com is a good course for the future. The course curriculum is highly relevant. At least 40% is the pass percentage. Exams are not that much difficult. It is autonomous, so results will come just in 45 days. Supplication exams are also conducted on their own. Faculty members are highly educated and NET-qualified people.

Other: I chose this course because this university has good faculty members for this course and there is international business also studying with M.Com. I like to improve the class facility a little more like chairs and benches. Always events are happening inside the university like sports, arts, union, inauguration, street plays, etc. Scholarships are also provided for every student. We can come and go to the campus very easily. We can access a train and a bus easily.

Master of Commerce (M.Com.) - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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%.

Integrated B.A. B.Ed. in Economics - Batch of 2027

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

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.

Nothing is there in this college.

Placements: College has good placements, with 60% of students placed. The highest package was 5 LPA, and the lowest was 1.9 LPA. However, 70% of the students did not get internships from any companies on campus. The top recruiting companies are Nirman Org and Infosys Org.

Infrastructure: College could have better infrastructure and facilities. Basic amenities like washrooms, water, and Wi-Fi are not up to the mark. The hostel is the worst, don't join there as there are no hot water facilities, no power backup, and no privacy.

Faculty: College has no curriculum and is a waste of time. If you only want a degree certificate, then only join this college. Students are only getting internships in MNC companies, but after one week, they terminate us and tell us we're not up to the mark.
