The college was good in earlier times, but now the management remains outdated.
Placements: I don’t know, only a few very academically talented students who try off-campus placements only end up getting placed. Others stroll around or go elsewhere. Some are doing courses, others are doing internships. None of them gets placed. Placement is very poor. The college doesn’t help you secure a job.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is okay, as the campus buildings are always clean and tidy. Although they claim free Wi-Fi throughout the campus. Only some locations in the main building have Wi-Fi. Hostel food is not good, has no taste, and lizards and cockroaches are found in the mess canteen food.
Faculty: Some teachers only read from PPT presentations, while others don’t even do that. They lag the whole semester, and once the exams are near, during the last few weeks, they make you do all assignments, seminars, and other work. Teachers working here are alumni who failed to secure jobs in the IT fields.
Other: There is no campus life here. You only come to study and go. It is very boring, to be honest.

It has good placements and a calm campus, but self-effort matters a lot.
Placements: I am from the B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering batch of the College of Engineering, Chengannur. Around 65-75 percent of students from our course got placed through campus placements, mainly in IT and software roles. The highest package offered ranges from 25-30 LPA, which is offered to a few exceptional students. The average package ranges from 4-6 LPA. The lowest package ranges from 3-3.5 LPA. Major recruiters included TCS, Infosys, Wipro, EY, Accenture, IBM, and UST Global. Around 40-50% of students secured internships through self-effort, college support, or online platforms. Common roles offered are software engineer, system engineer, analyst, and related positions.
Infrastructure: For the CSE department at College of Engineering, Chengannur, classrooms and labs are decent and sufficient for regular academic needs. Labs have the required systems and software. The library is well-maintained with enough textbooks and reference materials. Hostel facilities are average, with basic rooms and manageable living conditions. Mess food quality is mixed, while the canteen is useful for snacks. Basic medical facilities are available. Sports facilities exist but are limited and mostly student-managed.
Faculty: Teachers are generally qualified and knowledgeable. Most of them are helpful when approached. Teaching quality varied among faculty but was overall satisfactory. The course curriculum is relevant under KTU, though it is more theory-based and requires additional self-learning to become industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult and need consistent preparation rather than last-minute study. The overall pass percentage is good. Many students pass if they attend classes regularly and prepare well for internal assessment and university exams.

Above average placements, bad infrastructure, and strong alumni network.
Placements: 78.88 percent of students are placed in 2025 through campus placements. UST Global, Redbus, Litmus7 Systems Consulting, and KeyValue are some of the top recruiting companies. Information about top roles is not available. The highest package is 32 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA.
Infrastructure: College is very old and small. We have only 2 academic blocks for 7 departments. Wi-Fi is available but very slow. Classrooms are old and lack smart facilities. Library does have all the necessary books. Mens' hostel is very old and needs maintenance. Ladies' hostel is quite new. The mess available in both hostels is better than the mess in most private hostels. Canteen is run by Kudambashree. The food is cheap and average. Medical facilities are not good but there is a good government. Health center is within walking distance. We have one football ground, basketball court, and volleyball court.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and better than most government colleges. We are affiliated with KTU. Curriculum was revised in 2024. It is the most industry-ready curriculum in Kerala. According to new curriculum, internship is necessary to pass the course. The semester exams are challenging enough. More than 90 percent of students pass in computer science and engineering.
Other: I chose this course because I am passionate about computers, and it provides the best placement opportunities. Our college is situated at the heart of Kochi and near Kakkanad InfoPark, giving the best exposure for students. Subjects that are not relevant in modern computer science should not be taught in college (like physics, chemistry, and engineering graphic). We host one of the best tech fest in Kerala. Most clubs are pretty active here. As the college is very small, its pretty small.

A government engineering college with improved facilities and above-average teaching quality.
Placements: About 30-35 percent of students get placed each year. The highest salary package offered is 6 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA, and the average package offered in my course is 4 LPA. Most of the top recruiting companies are new startups. About 60 percent of students get internships from startups. The top role offered is a design engineer.
Infrastructure: Labs and workshops are available. College Wi-Fi is available only for laptop users. Classrooms have a projector. The department library is also available. Government hostels are available for both girls and boys. The hostel mess and food are average. Canteen food is average but affordable. First aid medical support is available in the college itself, and if needed, the hospital is nearby. Many sports and games are available, like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, kho-kho, handball, kabbadi, karate, etc.
Faculty: The teaching quality of most teachers is average, but there are teachers who teach wonderfully. They all are qualified. In our scheme (2024 scheme), the course curriculum became the most relevant and cunning. In this curriculum, there are some irrelevant topics and subjects, but there are also subjects that are very relevant and important. It makes students industry-ready for about 60-65 percent. Semester exams are not very difficult (about 60 percent difficult). In my batch, the pass percentage is 60-65 percent.

On summarising, all things are good. It is an average college for fun and placements.
Placements: It has a very decent environment. Few top and a lot of companies like TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, etc., hire students. The average package offered ranges from 3-3.5 LPA, and the highest package ranges from 6-7 LPA. Many students got a package of above 10 LPA, but the placement rate is about 70 percent.
Infrastructure: It has a very nice and beautiful campus. The infrastructure is not very good, as it provides AC in classrooms or digital boards. It has a decent infrastructure. The hostel facility is good, like average. The college campus is very good. It is a combination of three colleges, i.e., BBDU, BBDNIIT, and BBDNITM.
Faculty: Faculty members are good. They are interactive. If we want to interact with either, then they are just doing their jobs. Semester exams are not average and not very good. They are supportive of our projects and also of academic activities. Exams and the course curriculum are also good.
Other: Events and fests are held every year, like UTkarsh, Star Night, etc. Scholarship is provided by the AKTU University. It is good for games.

College and placements were good in 2024.
Placements: 50 percent of students get placed in my course. The lowest package offered is 2.5 LPA, and the highest package offered is 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are Kalki Tech, VVDN, SFO, and Indus Towers. 30 percent of students got internships in Bosch from the electrical and electronics department, and 10 percent of students are recruited by other companies. An electrical engineer's role is offered by companies with a decent package.
Infrastructure: There are facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, and a library, along with a department library and a variety of labs on the campus. A new hostel was inaugurated. There are a total of 5 hostels for boys and 2 for girls. Both hostels have separate mess and canteen facilities. It also has a football ground, a basketball court, a cricket ground, an athletic ground, etc.
Faculty: Teachers are okay. The teaching is okay, but some teachers are exceptional. The course curriculum is not relevant in this era. The engineering courses under KTU are the basics and do not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are not that difficult, and the pass percentage is around 60 percent.
Other: I chose this course for better career options and to experience the world of engineering. I would suggest improving the curriculum. Events organised are great, with one main event in each semester, along with other small events. It has a variety of clubs.
