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.

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.

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.
