Evaluations are too strict, and we are fully occupied with studies.
Placements: Students with zero backlogs and high CGPA are given higher priority to attend the drives and placement training. They specially run MBA and tie up with over 20 top companies, which include TCS, Accenture, and Amazon. In a year, 3 to 6 percent of MBA students are placed in top companies with packages above 20 LPA.
Infrastructure: Nirmala College of Management Studies is specially designed for MBA studies, the majority of students are from the regions of Palakkad, Ernakulam, and Malappuram, like in Kerala only. The facilities are okay enough, and fees are charged in lakhs. For relation concert, cultural and other events are planned at the end of semesters.
Faculty: Students with a CGPA of 7 and above are qualified for the placement training. The evaluation of papers, even in the normal class test, is fair and too strict. The KTU Syllabus is followed by our college, which includes a lot of practical, demo, and research classes. Throughout the two years, there is no time to focus on anything other than studies, as we are fully occupied with it.

A good average experience for college life.
Placements: There are no current passouts for our current batch. This is B.Tech in CSE (Data Science) because the first batch is yet to pass out this year. Although our accompanying course, B. Tech in CSE (Artificial Intelligence), has plenty of placements among the passouts. The top role is AI Engineer. Most students are recruited by AI companies or startups.
Infrastructure: The college has recently built exclusive, top-of-the-line labs for our department. It has dedicated computers for research as well as computers for students to practice and do their practical work. Wi-Fi speed is excellent, and each student has free Wi-Fi access. The canteen is average and serves only pure vegetarian dishes. All classes are equipped with projectors for teachers and students to share screens.
Faculty: Teachers are well-versed in our stream. Many have Ph.D. degrees along with their achievements. Teachers encourage students to participate in hackathons and attend events. The course curriculum is fairly relevant, and students become industry-ready after the course. The exams are moderate in difficulty and are not very hard to pass. The average pass percentage is around 90%.
Other: The AI industry is booming, and the stream is very relevant at the time. This is my main deciding factor for choosing the course. The college is fairly popular for its annual techno-cultural fest. Scholarships are available to students as per KEAM and 12th PCM marks. Faculty members encourage students to join extracurricular activities and attend events. There are various clubs, including IEEE, that conduct multiple regular events throughout the year.

Very satisfied with the college and my course.
Placements: So many students are placed at our college by many prestigious companies like Sobha, MRA, etc. When it comes to internships, almost everyone in our senior batches completes their internships. They are mostly in top companies and architectural firms. Everyone is happy with their placements and internships so far.
Infrastructure: Our department is very convenient for us. We have a separate department library apart from the main central library, which is very helpful. Full-time Wi-Fi is available almost everywhere on the campus. When it comes to classrooms, we have very spacious studios for our design hours and separate classrooms for our theory periods. The hostel is also very spacious and kept clean. Toilets are cleaned almost every day. The college canteen also serves amazing food at affordable rates.
Faculty: Our department faculty members are very nice and friendly. Almost all our faculty members are architects. This helps us understand concepts from an architect's perspective while studying. This is very helpful and gives us an idea of how the outside world works. Even though the semester exams are hard, almost everyone passes.
Other: I am very happy with this course and college. If you are someone creative, you should choose this course. You should also join many clubs.

Awesome college with good placements every year, 90%.

Around 50% of students get internships from companies. Roles offered include Manager, Fresher, etc. Every year, the best placements are provided with the best salary benefits.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is excellent. Labs and classrooms are good and perfect for studies. The college canteen offers good food at minimum rates. Hostels are available in different types, such as 3-bedroom sharing and 2-sharing rooms. The hostel food is also good enough for students.
Faculty: Faculty members are good enough to help us reach a good position throughout our college years. Their notes and exams are well-prepared and organized. Semester exams are good, and some of them are tough enough to study for, but they can be written easily. The libraries have many books for reference and note-taking.
Other: College Tech Fest is conducted every year. However, only Tech Fest and Arts Fest are conducted. No other college festivals are available here. If they can add more college cultural activities, it could be amazing.

Average campus life, average infrastructure, and average labs.

Some classrooms are spacious with projectors, but others are not well developed. Chairs and tables are not in good condition. Separate hostels are for boys and girls with basic amenities such as furnished rooms. Overall, hostel quality is generally average. Food quality is considered average and sometimes below average. The campus canteen offers snacks, tea, and meals. Nearby hospitals are easily accessible in Chengannur for emergencies.
Faculty: Some teachers are good, while others are bad. Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable, but some do not know how to present the subject effectively. Compared to the CSE department, the Electrical department faculty are only average. The semester exams are conducted by KTU and are not very difficult. The pass percentage for EEE is around 80–90%.
Other: No fest or event. The only events taking place here are those conducted by different forums. They are purely technical. If someone needs to enjoy their college life, there is no need to come here. The college also has very few festivals.
