Overall, a good college for M.A. History.

Placements: College placement cell is highly active. They give organized placement to students. Many companies come to college, but they give job offers mainly in technical branches. However, some private sector colleges are also coming for non-technical requirements. Top roles offered are professor, lecturer, and librarian. The highest salary goes to 4 LPA.

College values various talents and helps them to shine.

Placements: Various pharmaceutical and research companies actively come forward to hire students from the branch of Chemistry. The highest and the moderate packages were 8.9 LPA and 3.4 LPA. To tackle the recruitment process, it requires sincere practice and good knowledge about the field.

Review of Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College and Hospital.

Placements: The college is a medical college, so there is no concept of placement. Some people who complete their MBBS course from here prefer to give NEET PG or transfer to the Middle East for good opportunities. Kerala itself has low employment if you are just an MBBS student. No companies are coming for placement. Students have to do a permanent 1-year internship where they help and learn more about the practical knowledge of a doctor.

Short note on my college.

Placements: Top recruitment companies like Infopark, Technopark, and UST were providing massive offers with satisfying packages. Also, the intern packages start from 1.5 LPA, which is very encouraging for students to join such courses. Additionally, 70 to 78% got placed in the on-campus drives itself.

Review of Fatima Mata National College, Kollam.

Placements: Placement dryness arose somewhat in the college drives. The expected range of salary was usually between 2.3 to 4.67LPA. The companies reached out to the campus failed to pick up the students from the Mathematics departments. 5 to 6 companies hired students from our branch.
