If u want to enjoy your life along with studies, it is a good choice.
Placements: Our Seniors are placed in big companies like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, as developers, testers, and many other roles. The highest package was Rs. 1,10,000, and the lowest was Rs. 45,000.

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure and ambiance. Wi-Fi is provided in the hostel, and the library is fully accessible. The gym facility is also available, students do not need to worry about upper floors, as taking star lift is provided. Hygienic kitchen and good food. Students can also be active in sports and arts, our college has its own clubs for each.

Review of ILAHIA College of Engineering and Technology. 
Placements: The guarantees and assurances provided to achieve placements were not met for half of the students. The least package stood at 2.42 LPA and increased based on individual skills. Compared to other colleges, our college lagged significantly in recruitment.
Infrastructure: The college always wanted to be glorified among others. Facilities available were average, and the college hid most of the truth during advertising. The college spent much of its money lavishly on promoting itself rather than building the necessary facilities.
Faculty: Professors always provoked students with their unnecessary activities and actions. Even the smallest movements of students were noticed by the professors. The academic results created hectic competition among the students from all disciplines.

An average college.
Placements: Only 10% of students were placed, and on very poor packages. 1.8-2.25 lacs per annum is the average package. Companies like Sutherland visit here. 100% of students got internships in various companies, but they are not practically able to do the programs that they are studying.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi. The labs are okay to use. Classrooms are average. The library is very small. There is no proper hostel for arts students, but they get accommodation at the engineering hostel. The mess and rooms are good in the hostel. The warden and other staff are very friendly and such lovable people.
Faculty: Faculty is very boring. Teaching quality is so poor. The course curriculum needs to be updated. About 50% of students pass the exams. Semester exams are okay, and exams are usually conducted at the college, like internal and model exams, and the marks are considered for internal marks.
Other: Some fests and events are conducted in college.

Not at all recommended for the M.Com course.
Placements: Companies like Tata Capital, Kotak Securities, Philips, and Franklin Templeton were involved in the hiring phase in roles like financial and wealth-based consulting. The starting package was 2.5 LPA. The internship or training opportunities were not recommended by the college.
Infrastructure: The admission process is purely based on the merit scores secured from a bachelor's degree, along with the entrance exam scores. Students were punished with penalties if they failed to obey the order properly. Sports areas were always open for people who had achieved in sports.
Faculty: The partial treatment of students, especially during sessions, students with good academic grades were given preference. Their doubts were immediately cleared, and if they had time, they would look for other doubts to clarify otherwise, they would skip over it.

Infrastructure: This college is located in Rajagiri Valley, which has a beautiful and peaceful ambience for studying. This is also one of the major reasons why most students choose this college for higher education. It is accredited by AICTE and affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.
Faculty: Teachers use the native language for teaching, which creates trouble for other students in understanding. Even after conveying this, they are not willing to change. Teachers have brilliant ideologies about the subject, plan accordingly, and implement it.
