My review of this college.

Infrastructure: Hostel was available with proper facilities. Hostel rooms were with sharing and separate options, with reasonable charges. The mess served delicious food and ensured the hygiene and taste were up to the mark. The hostel environment was good and there was a Wi-Fi facility available in the hostel. Our hostel was very secure.

Regretting joining CMS College for the B.A. Communicative English, Literature, & Journalism course.

Infrastructure: When I join the campus, we will get a classroom that is in good condition. There are water leakage problems, and the room is dark. Later, we get shifted to a new building, which is good. At that time, construction work was happening for the canteen and library, so I am not sure about the current situation.

St. Teresa’s College review. It is a great place to grow.

Infrastructure: The college does not have a ground, but the infrastructure and facilities are top-notch. It is in the central part of the city, so it is always accessible. I really enjoyed my time there. Bus stops and metro stations are nearby. The washrooms and labs are clean and functional.

Great college life experience and good for placements.

Infrastructure: When we talk about the faculty members they are pretty good but still there are some negativities too. The B.Com department has a separate lab. The library in the college is one of the best knowledge providing libraries in the entire state of Kerala. Classrooms are well developed it is very comfortable to attend the classes without any problems. In the case of a hostel you should choose wisely. Some hostels may ask for more fees and year by year they will be increasing the fee so it will be very...

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are good in all the departments, 24/7 guards, clean water, and computers in the library for study purposes. The food in the canteen is good and made with proper hygiene. The college does not provide any games or sports. There is no specific ground to play.

I wouldn't suggest this college for cybersecurity.

Infrastructure: The quality of the computer labs is poor. Classrooms seem good, not many issues, but for the labs, it doesn't require a minimum specification for the systems. There is only a hostel facility for first-year boys, and for girls, they should choose private hostels about 500m away, which charge Rs 5000.
