The quality is amazing. The hostel fee is Rs. 500 per month excluding food and the monthly rate of food comes to around Rs. 2500 per month, it is varying. This is the case of university hostel. There is a caution fee upon admission to the hostel which is Rs. 1000 and an admission fee of Rs. 1350 for the hostel separately. The admission procedure is simple you have to apply online while joining.
    Faculty: I have always been interested in the science field, rocket technology, and space science, hence I chose this course to learn the mathematical foundation of all the above-mentioned sciences. The course plays an amazing theoretical base for core science and mathematics. The teachers can improve and take a practical approach to teaching. The exams are held after every 4-5 months. Exams are quite difficult to get by without good preparation.

    Review of Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi.
    Placements: This institute has good placement records. 2nd-year students are eligible for placements. Companies like Infosys, UST Global, EY, etc., visit the college for placements. Also, this institute gives plenty of internship opportunities. The final semester in all M.Sc. courses is exclusively for internships. Placements are not very high, but not very low either. If we are witty and driven about the subject, then we get a good chance of landing a job. In the 2nd semester of the first year, we make a project on Stereography. We get mark assessments based on that project.
    Infrastructure: The hostel is compulsory for this course as it is a residential course. The hostel is good and all facilities are available. There is enough space for studies and entertainment. Rules in hostels are strict, and the wardens are bad.
    Faculty: Our college has highly qualified faculty members. They give their best. All teachers are good. In the final semesters, we get to attend the classes from HOD as well, which gives you an eye experience into the engineering field. Being a government college, it is showing the standard in terms of professors. There are semester exams. M.Sc is a 2-year program, and exams are held. I passed with good marks in every term. There is also an in-house exam with 40 marks for assessment, and a class test with 10 marks. We get 70 marks main paper. The course curriculum is quite up to date. Various mathematical methods being taught in the class are up to the mark. However, incorporating the use of technology can be highly beneficial because it can make things more streamlined and efficient.

    Placements: If your planning to take admission in this course become that prepared that you can clear any round of off campus drive by yourself do not depend on college on. Placement are good only for engineering students for Physics there are less placement I choose to be a teacher and got job in IIT Bombay. College tries but demand of M.Sc. Physics students is very less so nearly 60-70 percent student placed rest are started own venture or doing jobs in other sectors. Internships are need to find by ourselves linkedin is best platform.
    Infrastructure: College is located in primary location of city all amenities are easily available. Wi-Fi is available in hostel and classroom. Browsing speed is good but downloading speed is very bad. We not have any common auditorium mostly event are organized outside the college. Classrooms are good having projectors, benches and green boards. Yes I am a hosteller food is terrible, quality is so bad. I frequently order through swiggy and zomato.
    Faculty: Teachers are good in teaching but time is so less and curriculum is so big in many cases all chapters are not taught. Course Structure is 2 years duration 4 sem and every sem have 5 subjects and 6 chapters in every subject. It was very big sometimes lectures are very long continuous 3 hrs lectures are also arranged. Semester exam is class tes, mid term and semester exam all are high in difficult level. Our class passing percentage is 85 percent.
    Other: College is government affiliated so feels was very less for one year it was only 10k it was huge plus point. The improvement need to done in placement and teaching.
