Good infrastructure including gym.
Placements: I don't know much about it. But I have heard that you will get a placement in Chennai, etc. I know that after the degree, they bring companies to interview students. They could be selected if they are eligible. So in conclusion, if you work hard, chances of getting placements are high.
Infrastructure: In college, there is Wi-Fi but not accessible for students I think. Classrooms are good, they do have projectors. Library is also good and there are thousands of books. There is a big library to be honest. You could use your ID card to get in, as there are scanning machines for it.
Faculty: Teachers at our college are supportive and teach well. BBA syllabus is useful and gives a good understanding of business concepts. Exams are fair and not too hard if you prepare properly. Mainly other than normal exams, we do have a lot of other works which build our character. It has a good learning experience.
Other: I chose this course for my degree. The campus is nice. There are a lot of events and fests.

Review of St. Albert's College.
Placements: St. Albert's College is an NAC A Grade accredited college. It was a super college for studies, but not for cultural festivals. The course was completed in 5 months, and they provide internships in almost all courses. The placements also continue before graduation.
Infrastructure: They provide practicals in each sem. The hostel was in college only for boys. Sometimes the Wi-Fi didn't work, and the library was good for all students. On Thursday, they provide egg biriyani and chicken biriyani on Friday in the canteen, and it will be good food at that college.
Faculty: The faculty members are good in their character and teaching. Exams are mostly tough on the first attempt, but some subjects are easy to pass on the first attempt. If we study well, we can achieve a rank in graduation. Follow a strict study material before the exam on time.
Other: In this college, there are two batches. The crowd are very high when two batches attend the cultural festivals, but mostly they divide each batch to attend the programs over two days.

Truthful review about St. Thomas College.
Placements: College provides a good placement offer. Many students are placed from this college. Median salary offered was 8-10 LPA. We get placement from technical companies, also through which we get jobs in the teaching sector. Students are eligible for placement after the third semester. The college placement cell invited many companies for placement.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is not that good. Students are pursuing a bad hostel life. The hostel staff are so strict. After 6:30 PM, students do not have permission to talk to each other. If a student wants to study only, then this hostel life is good for them. Foot quality is not that good.
Faculty: Our college faculty are highly qualified in their respective field. They properly plan for the curriculum, which helps during the placement offer. Exams are quietly tough, if you follow the lectures of the faculty, then you easily pass the exam. Faculty members are clear about all doubts and solve students' problems.

Best college for Grinders.
Placements: 60% of the students got placed. The highest package offered is 6LPA, the lowest package offered is 2.5LPA, and the average package offered is 3.5LPA. Top recruits are Infosys, Wipro, Deloitte, etc. Many students can be recruited in various reputed companies, mainly in accounting, IT, and management roles.
Infrastructure: The college has good infrastructure with digital classrooms, computer labs, well stocked library, etc. Good food is provided by the canteen, and medical help is available. The campus also has a sports campus for both indoor and outdoor games to empower students in sports as well as academics.
Faculty: Faculty members are qualified, well experienced, and supportive. The teaching quality is very good, and they are also friendly to students. The curriculum is updated and industry relevant. Exams are typically difficult, but they are fair, and everyone can crack them with a high percentage.
Other: I am a B.Com accounting student graduating in 2029. The course structure is excellent. I chose this course because of the autonomous status of St. Alberts. The campus crowd is vibrant and diverse. It is located near Ernakulam South railway station. In everything, we are satisfied with our college except for the programmes. The only thing we are facing is a lack of programs.

Marthoma College of management and technology.
Placements: College was usually poor for placements, various initiatives had been planned, but all the initiatives failed. The highest package would usually be below 5LPA, the probability of internships and industrial exposure was not available in our college.
Infrastructure: The auditoriums were built with a low level of complexity, but the potential to hold the maximum number of students was not realized due to the complexity. Based on the seating, the events were planned at all times. The complete college does not participate in any of the events organized in the college. They have a idea to renovate the college in a better way.
Faculty: Teachers progress in finishing the portion was slow because they considered understanding the syllabus to be more important than finishing within the time. There was no time to conduct frequent tests and exams to make the students well aware of the exam preparations. Basics in subjects are explained clearly more than once.

The college isn't very crowded, and it's not the best place if you are looking for a place to enjoy.
Placements: About 70% of the students get placed after their course from the college. On average, students get a 2.5-3.5 LPA. The highest package I know of was 6 LPA. Around 80% of the students get an internship from the college. Top recruiters are TCS, Wipro, IBM, and other private companies. The roles we get after the course are software developer, web developer, data analyst, IT support engineer, networking, cyber security analyst, mobile app developer, front-end developer, etc.
Infrastructure: College has good labs and well-working systems for studies, and normal classroom projectors for study, and free access to Wi-Fi. The college doesn't provide a hostel facility. Students bring food from home, or they rent a house nearby, but the college provides a college bus facility. The College may bring proper hostel facilities in the upcoming years. College has its own grounds and a badminton court for sports.
Faculty: Teaching and learning support is the best part of this college. Professors are well qualified and experienced, give more attention to all the students, and give 24/7 study help. This might be the best college if you care about studies over other activities. The curriculum isn't hard, but it focuses on developing skills rather than just theory. Exams are somewhere between easy and medium difficult; most students pass all of the subjects every semester.
Other: I chose this course because of the opportunity to get a good job in the IT sector and the cheap fees. College has lots of events and fests throughout the year, among which are conducted by IHRD and MG University, and all students can participate. Scholarships are available for all students, and no fees for SC/ST students.
