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.

The organization is in Kanjirappally.
Placements: The highest and average packages offered in our course were 7.5 LPA and above for high packages. 3 to 3.5 LPA for low or moderate packages. Specific companies, Cognizant, HCL, and IBM. They were the highly paying companies, based on the specific criteria of the candidates.
Infrastructure: The organization had phenomenal internal arrangements to satisfy the students. Visitors were not allowed inside the organization without proper notice or prior intimation. The classrooms were well-ventilated. The intake of courses in various departments was average.
Faculty: Professors used different tactics to tackle all situations and made the students obey their instructions without any second thoughts. The course modules were large. It took more time to finish the portions, so external activities were not encouraged by them.

If you're concerned about your studies, you can choose our college.
Placements: About my college students, many of them passed out, and some students are placed in the company, who performed well in the placement conducted in our college. Most companies are IT-based, and a few of them are based on core branches. Companies like ABB, Kerala Vision, etc., recruit. Some major companies are Google and Wipro, but those are also applicable to core branched students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not bad. Well-maintained hostel and also an extra canteen facility are available both inside and outside of the college. Some students eat outside during lunch, and some students eat in the college canteen and hostellers in the hostel. About the hostel, it is clean and maintained and not bad at food quality, and a balanced diet plan is conducted in the hostel. The lab facility is good, and many entrance exams are conducted in our college because in our college, there are 7, almost 7-8 internet-facilitated computer labs and also machine labs are good.
Faculty: Good and experienced staff, especially in my electrical and electronics engineering department. Our staff have 20 years of experience in that same college, and they completed their M.Tech with well-specified papers like power electronics, power systems, and so on. Passing the exam is slightly difficult because questions are made by the university (KTU), but it is okay when you follow the footsteps of the teacher's lecture notes, you will pass 90% of chance.
Other: It is worth paying cash for events, and you have an opportunity to conduct your projects at the tech fest, show your talents and boost your career.

If you're ready to enjoy and secure your career in future you can choose here.
Placements: In our college, there are many students from each and every department who are placed in several industrial areas and also in their conducted course-based jobs. The top recruitment companies are like Google, Microsoft, Talrop, ABB and Wipro, and students from core branches get placed in companies like IT-based, as well as in their own course-based job sectors.
Infrastructure: Well, about infrastructure, especially about the lab facility, our college is good. As EEE students, we have separate labs and well-trained industrial professionals who teach us. Therefore, those students are able to know how to handle industrial areas. Then, about the internet and computer labs in our college, there are almost 7 computer labs with Wi-Fi connectivity. About hostel life, there is a regular FSSAI food inspection conducted, so no need to worry about food quality. Then, about hostel rooms, they are neat and clean. One room consists of 2 beds for 2 students.
Faculty: About staff and faculty, it is important to say. They have completed a PG degree in specified subjects and are well-experienced. They follow the syllabus from KTU University, and are helpful and friendly to students. About exams, according to the 2024 scheme, the exam is comparatively easy to pass because only 24 marks need to be scored out of 60 marks, so passing the exam is not a big deal.
Other: Every semester, there will be at least one programme conducted. Also, every year, there is an art fest and a tech fest conducted by the college. Onam and Christmas are celebrated every year. Our college is located in a hill area, so it is calm to study and very good to enjoy our college life.
