B.Tech. in Information Technology - Batch of 2029

4.8

It is one of the best university and the top 3 engineering college in Kerala.

Placements: I am a B.Tech Information Technology first-year student. According to me, this is one of the best universities in Kerala, and placements are better than others. I think in B.Tech Information Technology, the placement rate is about 87%, and the average package is about 6–7 LPA.

Infrastructure: There are excellent libraries and a quality hostel and mess food. In terms of sports, a college promotes various games and provides coaching. There are separate grounds for each sport. Classrooms are average. They are not comfortable from March to April due to the heat.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. The syllabus is tougher than the Kerala Technological University syllabus. Here, students are more focused on research and projects than exam marks. In the end-semester exam, students must score 40% in the end-semester exam and 40% overall (internal + external) to pass.

Other: Excellent campus life with grand fests like Sargam Fest, etc.

It is mediocre, and not bad compared to other colleges in the state. It has a good campus.

Placements: Students get placed here. Many students from the last year got placed with the package ranging from 3.5-8 LPA, and some went above it. On campus, placements are not bad but average. Internships are good. Some students got placed in Japan via on-campus placements. We are eligible for almost all companies as long as we don't have active backlogs.

Infrastructure: It has a good library, and facilities are alright. Sports are very good. The mess food is good for the price. There are medical facilities that are free of cost for students. It has a doctor and a nurse. There is a university gym and many grounds for sports. We also have a stadium.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very good. Faculty members are the best for IT. Apart from the 1st semester, where it's common for all those faculty, some are horrible. After the first year, it's very good. Exams are comparatively difficult compared to KTU, but the syllabus is more relevant.

Other: There are a lot of fests. Every month, there will be at least two fests due to the variety of colleges and departments here. The crowd is great, and we will get to meet a lot of foreigners and people from outside the state. Scholarships exist, but a few students get them. I chose it because of the ROI. The entire fee for me for 4 years is 2 lakhs, and the return on investment is definitely good.

Satisfied, good faculty, and energetic events. Good placement and worth money.

Placements: The placements are good. Many students have been with IBM, CDAC, and Infosys for different roles as consultants, developers, etc. If you have skills, you will be placed for sure. Compared to other branches, it has low placement rates. Marine engineering, fire and safety, computer science, EC, EEE, IT, ME, and Civil. It's not because IT is bad. Most of the recruits consider CSE equally.

Infrastructure: If you are joining as a first-year student for B.Tech, the chance of getting a college hostel (university hostel) is very low unless you have any sort of reservation. But you will eventually get it in the following 2nd or 3rd year. But you can get good guest facilities near the campus at a low cost (not as low as a college hostel).

Faculty: Teachers are really good. They teach well. Explain topics very clearly. The syllabus is much different compared to KTU. So you may find it difficult to find online classes related to the syllabus. Most of them help you with any doubts. Exams are a little more difficult compared to KTU but the university is good unlike KTU.

Other: A lot of cultural and tech events happen. Events are also good. You sure get 1 event every 2 weeks. Every event is quite big. But for the last 2-3 years the events have reduced but now it's back on full.

Good placement, good night life, bad teachers, and good infrastructure.

Placements: Almost all students with no backlogs get placed from my branch and placement for safety is the highest in the country. The average package is close to 6 LPA-7 LPA, the highest is close to 25 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA-4 LPA. The roles offered include software engineers, data engineers, etc. Almost all students have internship opportunities.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available in our college are good, have projectors in classes, universal libraries contain books of all genres, Wi-Fi is available in libraries, etc. The university also has good hostel facilities at cheap rate, high quality food, but not much emphasis on sports and games.

Faculty: Teachers are not qualified enough, because there is less number of permanent faculty members. Teachers are always helpful in internships and placements. The course curriculum is relevant in the present day but has no emphasis on the future like AI. The semester exams are not difficult to pass, and there are high pass percentages in every department.

Other: I chose this course because it has good placement, but the college must improve on sports, techfest, etc. There are fewer events and fests in college. But good social connections as there are a high number of other state students there. CUSAT is in Cochin which is known for nightlife and hangout spots.

A good college environment for students.

Placements: The percentage of students who got placed in my batch is approximately 50% due to recession. But right now, for my juniors, many students got placed in many companies. The highest package is around 4 LPA - 5 LPA. Cisco visits the college.

Infrastructure: The college has a good hostel and infrastructure. It provides a good library with all the resources. Apart from that, a university library is also available. The food quality is average in hostels. There is a UG ground and a basketball court. There are many extracurricular activities. The only problem is that the number of hostels available is less.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and supportive. They help with every doubt and curriculum. Exams are average. The pass percentage is high. The curriculum is updated every two years. It is up to date. There are various projects to be done during each consecutive semester.

Other: The campus provides a good environment for students with programs and extracurricular activities.

Other: Why I chose this course is because I love information technology in a Bachelor of Technology. The best thing about my course is it is very easy to study. It is a very powerful course. There is nothing to improve in my course; it all fits. There are many more events that will take place in my college.

A journey of learning and growth.

Placements: The percentage of students placed varies from 80-95% depending on academic excellence and skills. The highest package offered was 24 LPA, and the lowest was 4 LPA. The recruiting companies include TCS, CISCO, EY, VISTEON. Internship was included inside the syllabus, and all the students were able to get paid internships. Most of the students were able to get internships during their last semester. The top roles include website development, software developer, database administration, UX/UI designer, network engineer, and cybersecurity specialist.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is a pure work of art. The classrooms include smartboards and blackboards. The lab structure includes advanced equipment with air-conditioned classrooms and high-speed Wi-Fi connections. The library is of two types: one is common for university students, and the other is common for engineering students. The library is air-conditioned, equipped with Wi-Fi and e-book facilities. There is a study lounge as well as examination centers.

Faculty: The faculty members at CUSAT are highly qualified, with many professors experienced in both academia and industry. Their teaching methods make the theory very easy, as well as providing hands-on experience, supported by lab sessions, assignments, and real-world projects. The course curriculum is very relevant and useful for getting placements in the IT field. It includes real-world projects and a well-structured syllabus. The semester exams are very difficult compared to other universities. The pass percentage ranges from 88 to 95 in various semesters.

Other: I chose information technology purely based on passion. There are many tech-related festivals as well as many events where students can earn part-time income if they participate consistently.

Facilities are infrastructure need to been improved.

Placements: Most of the big companies come here for placements. The average package is above 4 lakhs. Most companies that come for placements are average, so packages are also average.

Infrastructure: Most first-year students will not get a hostel because of ragging issues. Since CUSAT has other courses, there are limited hostels. So, students who are coming for engineering will not get a college hostel unless they have reservations.

Faculty: CUSAT is an autonomous college, so answer sheets are checked by our own teachers. Do not mess with teachers. If we act silently in class and obey everything, teachers will give full attendance.

Other: There are different clubs on campus that conduct various events and programs.
