B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2029

Offered by Government Engineering College, Thrissur

4.6

5.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

GEC Thrissur is overall a great college.

Placements: Placements here are pretty good. Mechanical, ECE, and CSE have the highest percentage of students placed, including decent placements in other branches such as civil, EEE, chemical, and production. The highest package is 50 LPA and the average package goes from 10 LPA to 12 LPA. The top recurring company is Walkaroo and many students have been placed there.

Infrastructure: The college has separate hostels for men and ladies, and it is actually good. The college also has a hockey ground, a football ground, and a basketball court. It has Wi-Fi facility, a good library, and labs. The college has pretty good sports teams and has won many medals.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, and most of them have studied at IITs or NITs. They have very good knowledge in their core branches and help the students a lot in research and projects. Some of them are alumni from the same college itself they help in training great engineers.

Other: Overall, it's a better college.

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty3.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Decent overall experience with good care for the children, except for some faculty.

Placements: The placements are decent for a tier 2 college still, it's like in every college. You need a minimum 7.5 CGPA ot get into the placement cell as well, you should not have a minimum of 1 supplementary exam backpaper. I have heard from the seniors that it's decently good.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi goes good and bad at times, but it's fine. The mobile network in that area is not that good. The labs are really good, as it's a really old college and there are so many different machines that you will not find in any of the new colleges. It is much industry-related and good for the future. The sports side is less.

Faculty: Some are genuinely good, and the way they take the class is just great. They know how to teach, and they deliver it properly as well as entertain the class so it doesn't get boring. Some are just overly strict for no reason and just try to discipline the class, and they don't know how to teach properly.

Other: Better classrooms would be nice. It's still the old classroom from the 1950s.

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.
