M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2021

3.2

3Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Teachers here are confidential in maintaining the privacy of students.

Placements: The placement track was quite challenging to understand. A unique set of companies was approached for all the courses. For the course of Chemistry, they approached research, pharmaceutical, fertiliser and chemical companies like Asian Paints, Bharat Rasayan, Tata Chemicals Ltd, Pradeep Phosphates Ltd, Atul Limited, SRF Limited, with average and maximum pay.

Infrastructure: We are restricted from moving from the college without giving any proper notification to the departmental responsibilities, and they, in turn, provide the gate pass for leaving the college in the middle of the day due to emergency situations. By supporting students interested in sports, admitting students into the college based on sports quota and other merit quotas are encouraged.

Faculty: Teachers don't disclose the personal information of the students to others without the students ' consent. Teachers play a major role in creating the best version of every student. Teachers are with mid-value experience, but they are highly beneficial to the students.

Good college for B.Ed course.

Placements: Merit list students only need to pay a small amount for entrance and PTA dues because the college is aided. If not, they must pay between Rs. 35,000 and Rs. 45,000 or more for management seats. The business isn't hiring. We don't because it's not like we get internships. Additionally, the college offers placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is mediocre. The Wi-Fi is good. The classrooms have advanced technology. A library and sophisticated laboratory are available. For students, a new building is being built. For both boys and girls, our college has set up dorms. Food is superior. The quality of medical care is excellent. Sports are supported at our campus.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified. They are informed and helpful. For this reason, priority should be given to this campus. Additionally, smart classroom facilities are utilized. The ratio of students to faculty is 7:1. Students are frequently brought in for hands-on training and fieldwork.

Developing a college and a nice campus.

Placements: The placements are more normal than others, and there is high competition for the placements. The college offers internships for FYUGP 2nd Year students, which are normal internships, not paid internships. The internship for FYUGP students is also compulsory for almost all students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is above average. The college offers Wi-Fi to students from the government, provides library facilities, a science lab and a computer lab. Canteen facilities are also available, and now almost all classes are digital classrooms. The college is in a developing stage.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and friendly, and they provide high-quality education to students. The exams are provided by Kerala University. Odd semesters are internal evaluation and even semesters are external evaluation. Some exams are difficult, but practical exams are easy to pass. 35% is the minimum mark needed to pass.

Other: I chose B.Com Business Information Systems because it provides a B.Com degree with computer applications in business practices. I think in the modern era, it is useful to get jobs faster. The government provides a variety of scholarships to various students.

The college is exactly good.

Placements: In this college, good placements are provided. The courses offered are BBA, B. Com, and B.Sc, and there is an additional add-on course in Aviation. A free course in Logistics is provided for BBA students, and there are internships for Logistics students.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are provided and are good. Almost all facilities are available in the hostel. There is no Wi-Fi connection, but water facilities are good and food is also available. The hostel has security for students, and it is good for both boys and girls.

Faculty: Exams are conducted in the college, and the semester exams are working well. The question papers are clearly set by the university. Now, Kerala University exams are being prepared, and students are studying for exam preparation. The exam notifications are released on time.

Other: I chose the BBA course because, in this locality, it is provided at a very affordable rate by this college, and the course is good for the future.

It is a good place for studious students.

Placements: We have a placement center that actively connects with new recruiters and provides the best opportunities for internships and placements. More than 50 students have been placed in this academic year alone. The highest placement offered is from Technopark.

Infrastructure: We provide computer labs, a cafeteria, a library with a full collection of case files, Wi-Fi in the library, and conference halls. Classrooms are well-maintained. The quality of food in the cafeteria is good. We also have an infirmary. Sports areas and gaming rooms are also provided.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, but since the college is under Kerala University, the semester timings are a bit stressful and rushed. Also, the exams do not align with the semesters. The quality of teaching is excellent in law subjects, but not so preferred in business papers.

Other: It is an academically centric college, so it is an excellent choice for a studious student. Campus activities are lacking compared to other colleges. Our campus does not allow political parties to avoid unnecessary difficulties in classes. Students are required to lock away their phones before entering classes.
