Overall, an average experience. We can just complete the course. Don't expect too much.
Placements: We can just complete our degree or PG course. There is no degree or PG course that guarantees you a job, no matter which college you study at. We can complete our course without many complications, but there are still some things that need to be fixed. Overall, it is an average experience.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is fair, but there is nothing special to appreciate. The basic facilities are just okay. The library is good, but the system seems too formal. It should be slightly more flexible. Overall, it also gives an average experience. It is a 5/5 experience.
Faculty: Teachers are good and ready to help. All of them are willing to clear doubts without any hesitation. I don't think the curriculum is relevant, as it includes too many unnecessary things to study. I am talking about the CBCS batch, not FYUGP. Overall, it is an above-average experience.
Other: I chose this course because I never had any other plans in mind. So, I joined B.Com after completing my school studies. I think the curriculum needs improvement because it does not provide practical knowledge. However, this is related to the university, and the college cannot do much about it. Events and extracurricular activities are average, not very good. That's it.

SCTCE is a great college academically, but it is average when it comes to other activities.
Placements: Every branch accommodates 120 students based on KEAM rankings. There are several other admission processes, including state merit seats and management seats, with different fee structures. Several companies, such as Allianz, IBM, UST, and Zoho, visit the college for placements.
Infrastructure: The college does not provide hostel facilities, so students rely on college-affiliated hostels located within a 1 km radius. There are also many rented PGs available near the college.
Faculty: Teachers here are helpful, and I would rate them 7 out of 10. Except for a few faculty members, the others are good in their respective departments. They provide great guidance and support. Faculty members are available during college hours, and some also assist students online.
Other: I am passionate about electronics and embedded systems, so I chose this course.

Overall this college is great for all course.

Good place to enjoy your college. Aesthetic buildings. Must join a cult in a way.
Placements: For our department, BBE placements are low compared to others, most of the students will be placed in IT companies, and most in Federal Bank. Only a few, like Zifo, etc., come for the biotech department. Training and classes are good. Nearly 20 percent of the students get placed in good companies.
Infrastructure: The college doesn't have a hostel inside the campus which makes it difficult, but offers various hostels in the surrounding area. They have no infrastructure, except the one main building. There is no ground, auditorium, etc., but it offers all kinds of programs at their best.
Faculty: As it is the one and only government college in Kerala with a biotechnology and biochemical engineering department, if you score good marks you will be one of the university toppers which makes sense. As the exams are conducted under KTU it might be difficult for some but easy to score.
Other: It is one of the best courses for one who completed the Biology group in +2. Our college conducts one of the biggest events in Trivandrum known as the cult a way. It is one of the largest cultural fests that includes a musical concert, in which South India's most popular teams perform, and it is a must-watch.
