A balanced and student-friendly college experience.

There are no significantly high-paying package opportunities. Most roles are in teaching, research assistance, or basic administrative positions.

Infrastructure: The college provides basic but adequate infrastructure for our course. Classrooms are comfortable, but some need improvement. The library is well-equipped with useful subject materials. Wi-Fi access is limited. No specific labs required for this course.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. They are qualified and knowledgeable, along with clear and student-friendly teaching methods. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Students who attend classes regularly and prepare well can pass easily. Pass percentage is generally high. Students interested in higher studies can take this course easily.

Other: I am part of the B.A. The history batch, where most students are focused on academics and higher studies. I chose this course because I have a strong interest in history.

Kannur University is a good option.

Placements: In my belief, one student was placed in a bank that conducted a placement interview at my college. All of the other are pursuing postgraduation or preparing for competitive exams like SSC, PSC, and banks. Very glad to say that our department teachers are also studying in our college and now working as assistant professors.

Infrastructure: We have a wonderful classroom with ICT. We get a strong Wi-Fi connection in the department and also in the classrooms. Here we have a well-developed mathematics lab with lots of reference books. We can go in our free time and after class. We have a hostel for boys and girls. The girls' hostel is superb. The boys' hostel is very good. In college we have a canteen and store. In canteen we get good food for affordable rates. The store provides books, pens, and stationery in the college compound. We have strong sports players and we have been champions for kho-kho, basketball, and cricket for many years at Kannur University.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and qualified. We are very glad to study their students. They are helping to ease the studies. Curriculum is relevant but many of them are not applicable in real life. The difficulty of exams is average. The last two semesters were a little bit difficult but manageable. Pass percentage is 70-75 percent.

Other: I like Maths so I chose this course. The campus is also good like the surroundings. The college supports extracurricular activities like NSS and NCC. We have been the champions of University Kalolsavam for the past 34 years.

Offered by Vimal Jyoti Engineering College - VJEC

3.8

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty3.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Vimal Jyothi Engineering College offers a disciplined environment focused on academics.

Placements: In this college the placement rate ranges from 60-65 percent. The highest package is 7 LPA and the average package is 3.05 LPA. Companies visit the college to offer campus placements among them are top recruiters such as Amazon, TCS, Wipro, Bharath Benz, South Indian Bank, and many others. Student internships start from the 3rd semester onwards most of them are done offline while some of them are online and they are done during the semester intervals. Top roles offered are data scientist, data analyst, AI engineer, and so on.

Infrastructure: College provides decent Wi-Fi connections, smart classrooms, AC labs, and so many books are available at the central libraries and department libraries. There are a total of four hostels available for B.Tech students. There are water filters, hot water, and Wi-Fi available. The quality of food is good both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food are available in the mess. There are two canteens in the college campus both of which are open only during class times. There are also two outdoor basketball courts, one outdoor volleyball court and an indoor volleyball court, one indoor badminton court, one football ground, and a place to play cricket.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are so helpful and approachable, and have deep knowledge about their subjects. Almost all of the faculty members have M.Tech and PhD as their educational qualifications. The course curriculum is based on Abdul Kalam Technological University it includes core subjects such as programming languages, data structures, data analytics, data science, robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and also has labs and mini project works to make students industry-ready. Each semester has three internal exams and one end-semester exam. Almost all of them have a difficult level from moderate to hard.

Other: I chose this college because of its supportive academic environment and calm environment. The course curriculum needs improvement such as including more practical industry exposure, interaction with industrial experts, and so on. The college only conducts a few events such as Onam, Christmas, and the arts and tech fest. There are no other fests and events conducted in the college. Extracurricular activities are so few when compared to other colleges. Students maintain a healthy relationship between seniors and juniors and the management never supports any kind of ragging. The college also offers different kinds of scholarships which cover almost the entire fees of the students.
