Good campus and campus life. Good option for studying.
Placements: Till 2022, the placement rates were really high. Later, the number of companies recruiting starts decreasing. It also depends on other factors. Mainly, companies like TCS recruit from this college. Many students here also bring their own business ideas and start-ups.
Infrastructure: The college provides good food in the canteen and hostel mess. Wi-Fi is also available. We have many new academic blocks, and a new block for the men's hostel is also under construction. The infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and sometimes on campus as well. We also have a library with a wide collection of books for reference.
Faculty: The pass percentage is always over 90%. Even though university syllabus is outdated. The technical clubs organize many talk sessions, webinars, and workshops for studying and gaining knowledge in various fields. We can also learn through hands-on experience.
Other: This course brings us into the field of electronics. It also allows us to study other related fields that are going to be important in the technical industry.

Review of The Government College of Kerala.
Placements: The placement of my college is very decent, and for my branch, it is above all because of the demand for computer engineers. The average package of my college is overall 7 LPA-8 LPA. The highest package goes up to above 20 LPA and more. The internship programme is mandatory and should be done either after the 6th semester or during the summer vacation.
Infrastructure: Since it is a government college, the facilities and infrastructure of the computer department are better than expected. The labs are neat and the Wi-Fi also functions very smoothly. The library is well maintained, and it is well spaced. The facilities of the government hostel are not what you expect. The mess and canteen food is pretty surprising.
Faculty: The teachers are very much helpful but a little egoistic. I think it is legit because decades of experience in a government campus will definitely make you that. Teaching quality is best, no doubt, but if you can't score well in the exam, then get ready to face the other side of them. The course curriculum gets updated every year according to the government. The semester exams are a bit difficult and 80 percent is the pass percentage.
Other: If you want to get enrolled in this campus, then study hard. After getting enrolled, study hard. Placement will come running towards you.

The college may be small, but it has a pleasant atmosphere.
Placements: Last year, the college had some really good placements. We get excellent internship opportunities for our course, and many of our seniors get placed in different companies. Our course offers roles such as Software Engineer, Web Developer, UI/UX Engineer, Backend Developer, Frontend Developer, and more.
Infrastructure: Every department has facilities it needs, such as labs, Wi-Fi, classrooms, and more. We have a newly renovated library. There is only a girls' hostel, though. The girls' hostel is really nice, but it accommodates only around 150 students. The hostel food is pretty good. Medical facilities are available, and there are sports facilities for games like badminton. They also have facilities for board games. Wi-Fi is available, and the girls' hostel has a curfew of 9:30 PM.
Faculty: Some teachers are really good, while some are not so much. But everyone tries their best, and that is something worth pointing out. If you ask for help, they will help you and even work extra hours if needed. The course curriculum is relevant, but just studying the course will not make you industry-ready. You need to build your own skills to achieve that. Some years the semester exams are easy, while in other years one or two subjects can be tough. For our department, the pass percentage is over 95%.
Other: There are many events and festivals. The campus is great. Seniors and faculty members are friendly.

Good college infrastructure and good facilities.
Placements: The percentage of students who were placed in my Bachelor of Electronic Engineering course was approximately 52–60%. Students were placed in higher companies like Bajaj and Hero. The highest average package in my course was 5 LPA, and the lowest was 2.5 LPA. The percentage of students who got internships in my course was 40–50%, based on the students' interest in internships. The roles offered in my course were Managing Director of a company and Electrical Technician in a company.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course were very good. The availability of the Wi-Fi network was very good. The computer labs and library were excellent for silent study. The quality of the hostel facilities was also very good. The food in the mess and canteen was average. The medical facilities were also good, and sports were well encouraged. Games were organized every year on my campus.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, knowledgeable, and qualified at the Ph.D. level. The teaching quality was very good. The course curriculum was also relevant. It made students industry-ready for future purposes. The difficulty level of the exams at this college was below average, and many of the students passed.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become an Electronics Engineer, and the scope was very good. The best thing about the course was self-dependent study. The things that should have been better were the facilities, like water coolers and air-conditioned rooms. The events and fests were organized every year, and scholarships were given based on the caste categories like OBC, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribe. Extracurricular activities were also conducted in this college.

A really good campus with really lovely people that no one can miss.
Placements: We have a very good recruiting cell. Recruiters from Accenture, Infosys, Spider, Cognizant, and other companies come for campus recruitment. Apart from that, there are various clubs through which students get recruited. Clubs like Mulearn are the best for this. The top roles offered are Software Engineer, Data Analyst, etc.
Infrastructure: We have very good Wi-Fi across the campus. The classrooms are well equipped with tables. We also have projectors in each class, which are really good for students to conduct seminars. We have a central library in the main building, which is well equipped with books.
Faculty: The curriculum is well structured for students who really want to achieve something in both studies and co-curricular activities. Students are encouraged to pursue their hobbies. It creates a healthy atmosphere rather than a competitive one. This, in turn, motivates students to achieve more in their studies.
