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.

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.
Placements: Placements are decent for CSE, IT, and Safety branches. Mass recruiters like TCS and Infosys offer an average of 3.5–4.5 LPA, though high packages can reach 12 LPA. The placement cell offers dedicated training for technical grounds, which is a huge advantage when trying to crack higher package offers.
Infrastructure: TIST has a green, open campus that offers a quiet place to study. The labs are well equipped, and the large library is a really useful resource for students. Overall, the infrastructure is practical and simple, making it a good spot to focus on coursework.
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.

Good placements in the past couple of years in our college.
Placements: The average LPA that our CS branch has received during the past academic year has been around 6–6.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are Cognizant, Infosys, UST, and KarTech. Currently, the placement drive is still going on, and as of now, companies like UST, Infosys, and Cognizant have recruited a good number of students and have offered good packages.
Infrastructure: Overall, the infrastructure is satisfactory. Wi-Fi often seems to be slow, especially in the basement-level labs. Classrooms and libraries are well maintained. All necessary resources are provided in the library. Regarding sports, necessary training and coaching are provided for students in football, kho-kho, etc., for both boys and girls. The food in the canteen is healthy, budget-friendly, and satisfactory.
Faculty: We have well-structured placement training since the 1st semester, which helps us develop our skills and gain confidence so that we are able to perform our best during placements. The faculty of the CS department are highly qualified and skilled. Our department has an overall pass percentage of 83.81 percent (2024–2028 batch).

It has good placements and a calm campus, but self-effort matters a lot.
Placements: I am from the B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering batch of the College of Engineering, Chengannur. Around 65-75 percent of students from our course got placed through campus placements, mainly in IT and software roles. The highest package offered ranges from 25-30 LPA, which is offered to a few exceptional students. The average package ranges from 4-6 LPA. The lowest package ranges from 3-3.5 LPA. Major recruiters included TCS, Infosys, Wipro, EY, Accenture, IBM, and UST Global. Around 40-50% of students secured internships through self-effort, college support, or online platforms. Common roles offered are software engineer, system engineer, analyst, and related positions.
Infrastructure: For the CSE department at College of Engineering, Chengannur, classrooms and labs are decent and sufficient for regular academic needs. Labs have the required systems and software. The library is well-maintained with enough textbooks and reference materials. Hostel facilities are average, with basic rooms and manageable living conditions. Mess food quality is mixed, while the canteen is useful for snacks. Basic medical facilities are available. Sports facilities exist but are limited and mostly student-managed.
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. Many students pass if they attend classes regularly and prepare well for internal assessment and university exams.
