This is a good college compared to near self-financing colleges in Palakkad.
Placements: In my college, nearby Al Ameen Law College is also there. Many other state students are also studying there. The strength of the law college is much more than Al Ameen Engineering College. There are engineering fields like ECE, EEE, MECH, CIVIL And also AD and CSE are here. Cybersecurity has been newly started this year.
Infrastructure: I'm a hostel student. My home is in Malappuram. At the hostel, we have non-veg food daily, as lunch and on Sunday, only veg food. It is not bad. Hygienic food, then for a monthly fee is nearly Rs. 5000. Transportation through Pattambi, Manarkkad and Palakkad.
Faculty: The exam is difficult. I got some backlog papers this new scheme 2024 on KTU. About teachers, very experienced but on CSE. Newly started courses staff are freshers. Well-facilitated labs, I think there are 6 computer labs for CS, AD, Cybersecurity, BCA, and BBA.
Other: I'm also working in the event organizing field, such as Industrial visit, Tour. Programs like Onam, Art, Tech, etc. In my opinion its good, I think.

Here in my college, both career and college life are awesome. I really loved it here.
Placements: In my college, the CSE and AI departments are top-ranked courses that are in high demand. Also, for CORE branches, they have been working from 2003 onwards with experienced staff. Newly started Cybersecurity, BBA, and BCA programs are also working well. Our college placements are conducted in the final year. Recruiting companies are Wipro, TCS, etc.
Infrastructure: About the infrastructure in my college, the hostel and canteen are neat and well-maintained. A food inspection from FSSAI was conducted a few months ago in my college. Due to these factors, the college canteen and hostel food is not bad. My college has held 8 Wi-Fi facilitated computer labs, and many entrance exams like JEE, KEAM, etc., are held in my college because of the many computer labs.
Faculty: About the faculty, they are very friendly and experienced in teaching fields. Most staff have been working at that college since 2003. They are helpful during exams and in conducting effective revisions before university exams. According to the new 2024 batch, only 24/60 marks are needed, so passing the exam is not a big deal.
Other: Events like art fest, tech fest, Onam celebration, and Christmas celebration are regularly followed every year as milestones of the college. In college sports, football and cricket are the main ones in which our college wins trophies in football matches. It is very beautiful to enjoy college life and experience everything.

The reality of MS College of Engineering, Kuttipuram.
Placements: The placement depends upon your skills. Compared to other colleges, we have high placement, and the college has a separate cell for placement. In my course placement rate, I can't tell because there are no passed out student because the course started only 2 years ago, and I have heard the students get placed in companies like Tata and all.
Infrastructure: About infrastructure, it is quite good, we have a nice library, labs, auditorium. The classes have quite good infrastructure. We have Wi-Fi in labs and separate Wi-Fi for normal usage in college, on phones, but we pay for it in 1st year, and canteens are quite okay.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, and the classes are understandable, but the syllabus is less compared to Calicut University. The exams are very tough, and we can predict the questions. One time, they will focus more on theory, but the next time, they will ask more practical questions.
Other: Event, fest these things come very rarely. We feel completely bored on campus, only studying, and I don't recommend anyone to this college. If you want only studying you can come.
