Absolutely satisfied because of good placement, worth every penny.

Faculty: There are fewer responsible teachers, and the management system is not very good. The curriculum is good. If the students put in some effort beyond the syllabus, it will be a huge benefit to stand out and make them industry-ready. The semester exams are moderate, and if students are willing to put in effort for the exams, they will surely pass.

College ROI is really good.

Faculty: Faculty members are really strict, especially for the Computer Science department. They take a lot of exams compared to other colleges, and the paper evaluation is also strict, but for some branches like IT, Safety, and Fire Engineering, it’s a very high standard.

Great campus if you want to enjoy college life.

Faculty: Faculty is mostly good. Exams are postponed if there is any issue, and student groups are strong in influencing decisions. They do not force students to attend classes. It is optional, so students need to have proper self-discipline.

A places that need more improvement.

Faculty: There is a shortage of permanent faculty members currently. The available faculty members are well qualified and helpful. The course curriculum is mostly relevant, but I heard from my seniors, it does not fully make students industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate with a good pass percentage.

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

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.

Very nice college with good exposure and a strong alumni. Placements have been good in recent years.

Faculty: Although all teachers are qualified, some of them are not very good at teaching. The teaching quality can be termed as average. CUSAT’s syllabus is always up to date and is relevant, focusing on industry readiness when compared to the KTU syllabus. Semester exams are usually average. The question papers are prepared by the teachers of CUSAT and CUCEK themselves. The pass percentage for the IT branch last year was 78%.

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

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.

Supportive teaching and good placement training.

Faculty: The faculty members in my college are well-qualified, experienced, and supportive. Teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable for doubt clearing. They guide us in academics, projects, and exam preparation. Internal exams and lab internals are conducted accurately, which students find university exams easier.

TIST Arakkunnam: An honest review from a fresher.

Faculty: The department benefits from experienced faculty members whose advice helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. While the schedule can get busy, focusing on labs and solving previous year papers makes the exams quite manageable.

It has good placements and a calm campus, but self-effort matters a lot.

Faculty: Teachers are generally qualified and knowledgeable. Most of them are helpful when approached. Teaching quality varied among faculty but was overall satisfactory. The course curriculum is relevant under KTU, though it is more theory-based and requires additional self-learning to become industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult and need consistent preparation rather than last-minute study. The overall pass percentage is good.

It is a very good college for doing an M.Sc. in Forensic Science.

Faculty: The professors are all very helpful, they are all very knowledgeable, and they have a lot of teaching experience. This course is absolutely curriculum-relevant, and it makes the students industry-ready. Since the semester exam is based on practical, it is a little difficult, students have to study hard, otherwise they will not be able to pass. The pass percentage is 40% for each subject.

Good college for M.Sc. in Chemistry.

Faculty: The professors here were very qualified and well-educated. They were all very knowledgeable. Their teaching quality was very good. The faculty members are all very helpful. Here, semester exams were taken every 6 months, which was a bit difficult, and if students don't study well, it's a bit stressful to pass.
