It could do better in many ways.
Placements: In ECE, about 40 percent of students got placed overall from the 2 batches present. ECE and CS students get around 4 LPA-6 LPA maximum package and 4 LPA is the lowest. Top recruiting companies include mostly IT companies like TCS, Wipro, but placements from Tata Exlsi and some more are also present. Top roles are mostly IT in this college.
Infrastructure: It's standard in terms of labs and library. Basic amenities are present. There is no hostel present in this college, most students stay at PG. Sports include basketball, badminton, kho-kho, and football, though a football ground is absent. The college festival has many cultural and fun events.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and teaching is average. The curriculum is KTU-based, and it's a bit below average. Pass percentage is about 80 percent in my year. The exams are decent, some easy and some hard. Students, I would say, become industry-ready if they work on their own and are not dependent on the college alone.
Other: I chose electronics because I love the industry very much. I never liked coding and always wished to make electronic equipment and chip designing. I wished that they motivated students to be more project-focused and get hands-on experience. The main fest here is cult away, which is pretty awesome. The campus is small it's easy to know everyone, go to any department, and it's pretty friendly.

There is no improvement in their performance.
Placements: The college does not show much interest in encouraging placement coaching for our courses. Around 30-38% of students get recruited in teaching, publishing, and media companies. Companies like Bhanzu, Aakash, and Mathrubhumi offer opportunities.
Infrastructure: The organization was built many years ago. There is still no major development in infrastructure, procedures, and other facilities. Sudden occurrences of gang fight-like activities are often seen on the college campus. There is a lot of traffic in the mess area. This causes students to reach classes late after having food.
Faculty: The entire duration of the course is two years. This includes four semesters. During the complete course duration, there are no industrial or practical session-oriented programs. Exams are planned on some dates and later postponed for some reason. The courses are prepared according to the instructions of Kerala University.

Perfect and got more memories.
Placements: 80 percent of students got placed. Up to a 1.68 LPA package was offered. Top recruiting companies were business consultants at Onward and iOS engineers at YOUGotaGift. 80 percent of students got internships from our course. Roles offered were software engineer, software tester, Java developer, GE developer, Python, Django, and Flutter.
Infrastructure: There were many departments, a library, sports, NCC, NSS, Wi-Fi, and computer labs. Hostels were only for women. The canteen had a small luxury facility and affordable food for students. The best college I have ever seen gave me more memories.
Faculty: Faculty was the best. The curriculum was good. There were 36 exams for this course. The course fees were affordable in any manner, and also the exam fees. It was quite affordable and perfect for everyone. The internship they gave was useful for everyone, and the programme was Flutter mobile development and more in any manner.
Other: In this course, it was useful for the future in the AI world. No things to improve about the course.

A good academic support, campus life, and ambience: Fatima Mata National College.
Placements: Campus offers placements to companies like Tata, TCS, and banks like Mutooth and Federal Bank. Also, the campus provides an active placement cell that guides the students to the fullest. 100 percent of students got their internship during their second year of college. The package offered is around 6 LPA-10 LPA.
Infrastructure: Developing and developed infrastructure and facilities that favour the students. Centralised library with all needed materials for each department, department-wise division of books including both old and new editions. Wi-Fi is available, and the classrooms are neat and peaceful, suitable for education. The hostel is also good. Canteen provides a variety of food options.
Faculty: There are qualified teachers who are supportive of students. Everyone is unique in their own ways. This new FYUGP curriculum is helpful to students as they can choose a minor, MDC, etc. On their own choice, which allows them to choose a subject of their interest. The academic level increases from first year to fourth year. The teachers prepare us for that, which will make the semester exams easy to handle. 95 percent is the pass percentage of every department.

Trivandrum Medical College in one view.
Placements: Students get postings in nearby medical facilities for clinical experience. Trivandrum Medical College has its own legacy and plays an enormous role in moulding efficient doctors. Our alumni serve all over the world. The college gives prime importance to academics along with research programs, which pave the way for future technologies.
Infrastructure: College has good infrastructure, completely air-conditioned lecture halls, an adequate number of cadavers for anatomy, high-quality labs, and a central library for students. The hostels are clean, spacious, and efficiently managed by a yearly selected hostel committee. The mess and café are managed by students. The college actively participates in zonal sports and arts competitions and other tournaments. It is the overall Sports and Arts Champion of 2025. Well-maintained facilities and equipment are available for football, cricket, kho-kho, badminton, kabaddi, handball, basketball, tug of war, table tennis, chess, clubs, and grounds.
Faculty: Faculty members are friendly. Departments and the student union provide mentorship programs. There are three sessional exams, including a model exam for internal assessment, followed by the final university exam in August or September. The passing criteria are basically 40:60, i.e., one should score above 40% in theory or practical and 60% or above in the other.
Other: The college is always busy with events. Seasonal festivals like Onam, Holi, Christmas, and New Year are celebrated. It also hosts our own intra-batch fest, Euphoria, and the intercollegiate sports fest, Torque, and many more.

My review of this college.
Placements: Our college helped us with placements and other job opportunities. Our college provided internships. The college had a separate placement cell, any student from any course can enrol in the same. The minimum salary package during our time was 2.4 LPA. Several MNCs came to the college every year and employed students directly. Companies like Amazon, Tata, HDFC Bank, ICICI, TCS, etc., visited the campus. They also conducted an interview test and GD for the selection of students, and everyone needed to qualify for placement offers according to students' education and experience companies offered packages.
Infrastructure: The topics also prepared us for further studies, such as majors in our respective fields. The hostel facility was available and was good enough. The rooms were available with sharing and separate options, and the charges were affordable. The mess food was hygienic and good enough.
Faculty: The college faculty was very knowledgeable with years of experience they used to explain well and were also always readily available to help the students outside the classroom. This really helped me in learning the concepts. All the professors are qualified to hold a PhD degree in their respective fields, they are motivated towards their jobs as well. The semester examination system was followed, where every year consisted of 2 semester exams and 2 mid-semester exams every 6 months. Each paper was of 75 marks. We had 20 marks for mid semester exam and 5 marks for attendance. It was a great course all together, divided into two years covering all related aspects of Economics within the country and even at the international level, which surely enhanced one's knowledge to a marked extent. The teaching faculty was very well-qualified and experienced as well as supportive. The courses were really up to date and relatable.
