GEC Thrissur: A perfect launchpad for an aspiring engineer.

Placements: Placements are from Reliance, MRF, Sudchemy, and many other non-core IT companies. Placements are usually conducted through online video meetings and exams, which I find can allow many unworthy students to pass, as cheating is practiced by many. Offline interviews are also common but the bigger core companies prefer online selection.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are adequate. Hostel facilities are tolerable. The library is good. Canteen is located within the campus and sells food at a reasonable rate. Canteen is located in one corner of the campus and not in the middle, so students from some departments have to travel farther.

Faculty: Teachers are graduates from NITS and other engineering colleges who know their stuff but are a little hesitant or have a problem with imparting it to students. The university doesn't have a proper textbook and the course topics are from many textbooks, which have to be either bought or borrowed from the library, which is quite exhausting.

Other: College events are fun and the different parties organise it. Dyuthi the cultural college fest is a major crowd puller. Depth events are also fun depending on the department.

Good campus and vibe. Placements gradually decreased after COVID but improve every year.

Placements: There are a total of 82 offers. Major recruiters are Walkaro, TVS, and Alstom. The highest package is 14 LPA. The average package is 3–6 LPA. Top roles are mechanical engineers, automobile specialists, mechanics, and even roles in IT fields.

Infrastructure: Classrooms have a great atmosphere and infrastructure. Lab facilities are good and well-maintained. Wi-Fi access is available. A large library and computing facilities are provided. The hostel has decent facilities and quality food. The college canteen is quite affordable. A medical sick room is available on campus. All sports are prioritized.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, friendly, and qualified. The course curriculum needs to be developed but has decent quality. Sometimes, students need extra courses to pursue. Semesters are not too tough, but they can be passed with consistent hard and smart work. An 89% pass mark was recorded in the last year.

Other: This course is a core and frequently updated course. The course should increase practical experience for students. All the events are managed well.

MACE is the best decision of my life.

Placements: In 2026, around 194 offers come, and 126 students get placed in top companies like IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Federal Bank, etc. The highest package is 33.24 LPA by Virtusa. Graduates are enrolled in the IT sector as data analysts, data scientists, etc. Around 55–60% of students got placed in the last year.

Infrastructure: The college campus is top-notch, with greenery and cleanliness you cannot imagine. There is a central library with around 80,000+ books and journals. The classrooms are well-equipped. There is also a basketball court, badminton court, gym, swimming pool, and ground for leisure. The mess food is also top quality.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable, although there are some drawbacks. As our college is autonomous, the academic team updates the syllabus according to industry demands. The semester exams are above average and hard to pass. The pass percentage is around 87%.

Other: The clubs of MACE are very active. IEEE and SAE of MACE are national-level competition winners.

I am very satisfied with this college.

Placements: For ECE, many students are recruited by companies. We not only need a good CGPA, but we also need skills. Companies ask us to write code for their questions and test our problem-solving skills. I have a list of the companies that recruit students. Those who want it can DM me, and I will send it.

Infrastructure: GEC Palakkad Sreekrishnapuram provides good infrastructure. When I entered the college for admission, they first took me to their IT lab. It is awesome. All labs are very good and high-tech.

Faculty: All teaching members of the college are well-educated. They follow the KTU syllabus and are very good at teaching. They provide a good foundation in Electrical Science and Mathematics. They teach Electrical Science very well. The exams are difficult, so we need consistent preparation. Teachers, tutors, professors, HOD, and the principal are also very awesome.

Other: All are good.

The college is good, but programs and events are fewer.

Placements: The placement is good. Many companies come for recruitment.

Infrastructure: The hostel is very good, and life is so good. The food is so good. There is non-veg food 6 days a week. Vending machines in our hostel. The behavior of the hostel warden is good. They behave so well. I like the hostel very much. There are many events in the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are good. They support us in every curricular activity. Their behavior is so good. They treat us like their children. The semester exams are not that much tougher, so everyone can pass the exam and get good scores in internal marks. The course curriculum is relevant.

Other: College life is very limited. They should improve the events that are conducted on campus. They should make sure all the students are doing extracurricular activities. I would recommend it if you are ready to join a college with less campus life.
