Good campus environment with good facilities and faculty.
Placements: Around 80% of students in the CS department get placed. The average package is 5 LPA. I do not know about the maximum and minimum packages. The packages are very low, but most students get placed, so there are enough opportunities. IBM is probably one of the top recruiters. If you study well, you can get placed very easily.
Infrastructure: I live in a hostel outside the college, but I know about the college hostel. People say good things about the hostel and its facilities. Wi-Fi is available in the college and hostels. There is a huge collection of books in the library. Labs are well-equipped, and the infrastructure is good. The classrooms are also good.
Faculty: The curriculum is, of course, bad, as you know, because of KTU. Teachers are good and supportive, but they also kind of lack progressive thinking, except for some good teachers. There are many good teachers, though. The first year may be hard due to many guest lecturers, but then it gets better.
Other: The union came last year and served the students.

The curriculum is perfect, and the enjoyment and community are really amazing.
Placements: TCS, L&T, RB Structures, RDC, and many other top companies visited our college for placements with good packages. We had the freedom to choose our own internship opportunities. The college also offered aptitude training and coding classes to prepare us for placements.
Infrastructure: There were labs and a library for our department. The hostel facilities were absolutely good. Strict rules were followed for hostel students, but the enjoyment was also unlimited. I was a day scholar, but I still visited the hostels for programmes, sports day, and other events. My classmates who stayed in the hostel explained facilities provided there.
Faculty: The semester exams were moderate, and the evaluation was also partial. Everyone had the opportunity to earn internal marks through assessments, internal exams, and quizzes. If students did not meet the internal passing criteria, a retest was conducted for those who did not meet the requirements.

It is a wonderful college.
Placements: The percentage of students placed in the CSE course is 40%. The highest package is 26 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the average package is 8 LPA. The top recruiter in the last few years was Byju's, but now they do not recruit. The percentage of students who get internships is 55%. The top role offered in the CSE course is Data Analyst.
Infrastructure: Good facilities with a strong Wi-Fi connection. Good-quality food is provided, with one fest every month. There are two blocks in our hostel, A and B, and both compete to do the best. They both have different mess facilities. There are only 300 students allotted to the hostel, including both blocks.
Faculty: The exams are good and tough to write. They provide a good environment for studying. The exams conducted by the college faculty include questions covering all subjects, so we can write the semester exams easily. They check if any malpractice is done. If anything is done, students are penalised.

GEC Wayanad review.
Placements: College's official placement page lists recruiters. It includes TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tata Elxsi, Cognizant, UST, QBurst, SOTI, & Schneider Electric. For 2024–25, the official list includes several CSE students placed through QSpiders. It also includes placements at ESAF and Schneider Electric in other branches. A published 2023 placement summary reports 85 students placed out of 90 offers. The highest package is listed as 10 LPA. The average package is 5 LPA. The median package is 4.8 LPA. These figures come from a third-party source. They should be treated cautiously. They may not represent the college's current official placement statistics.
Infrastructure: College has separate men's and women's hostels. College website also publishes hostel allotment lists for B.Tech students. The hostel facilities include internet connectivity, a mini store, a mini library, fitness equipment, & indoor sports facilities such as table tennis and shuttle badminton. Separate accommodation is available for men and women. The college also issues tenders for hostel maintenance and upgrades. In 2026, it issues a tender for washing machines for the hostels.
Faculty: Some students report that a few teachers are excellent, while others are less effective. There are also complaints that portions are not always completed on time. According to student reviews, the CSE department has highly qualified faculty members, including PhD and M.Tech holders. GEC Wayanad follows the KTU curriculum. The newer 2024 scheme has been introduced for current batches. Students have different opinions about it. Some find it more modern. They feel that it provides better exposure. Others feel that it still contains too much theory & needs more practical, industry-oriented content. Semester examinations are conducted under KTU. The college also conducts internal and series examinations before the university exams.
Other: A new tech fest named Astra was introduced. However, it was postponed for some reasons.

Government Engineering College Wayanad is the palace above the hills.
Placements: The placements here are comparatively fewer than those at other colleges. Only students who excel in their domains get placed in good core companies related to their fields. The placement cell makes active efforts to help students get placed.
Infrastructure: My course, Electronics and Communication Engineering, has excellent faculty members and facilities. The college facilities are good. The men's hostel is very good compared to hostels outside. The rooms and food facilities are very good and offer great value for money.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and well-experienced. They are experts in their respective domains. They are always available to help us with our academic needs. They support us and motivate us to perform better academically. The exams are well-designed and motivate us to study more to achieve success.

It is an average college in terms of faculty, students, fees, and placements.
Placements: Placements from our college are a bit average. Some of the students get placed. In the 26-27 batch, one of the students got placed at Infosys with a salary package of 6.9 LPA. Most of the placements are held for CSE and ECE branches. Other branches have a lower placement rate.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is overall good for the college and hostel. But it has all old buildings and old structures. There is a long distance between all the departments and the main block. It is a bit difficult to find exam rooms allotted for series and semester exams. The labs, classrooms, library, etc., are good, and Wi-Fi is also available. The hostel is also nice. There are mainly 5 hostels. There are 2 hostels separately for first-year boys outside the campus, and other-year boys have 2 hostels inside. Girls have a hostel inside. The mess food is average. Medical facilities and sports and games are available.
Faculty: Some of the faculty members are good and helpful, while some may not help us. My course curriculum for B.Tech in CSE is average. It doesn't make us industry-ready. We need to work on it. We ourselves should become industry-ready. The semester exams are a bit difficult, but if you have the will to study, you will surely succeed. It's not that tough to pass (from my two years of experience). The college has around an 83% pass percentage. It was in 15th place among the APJ KTU colleges last year.
Other: If you have a KEAM rank around 30000, you can choose this college as merit. It charges a low fee, and the college is better for this. The college is not worth it if you take a high-fee seat or an NRI seat. Faculty members should be improved, and the facilities inside the college and buildings should also be improved. Many events are held in the college, but the number of events should also increase.
