Without the faculty members, the college would be very poor.

Placements: Honestly, no one from our batch got placed. Only one or two placement drives were conducted, and they were for all types of students, like B.Com and BBA, mostly for banking-related jobs. Very poor behaviour from the side of the placement cell. They didn't conduct any placement drives for us (Computer Science students).

Infrastructure: Classrooms are basic, with normal school-type benches and desks. All essential facilities are available, such as a computer lab, Wi-Fi, and a library. The computer lab is decent and spacious. The college has an NSS unit. I am a day scholar, so I don't have much information about the hostel facilities.

Faculty: It is an MG University-affiliated college, and the syllabus is provided by MG University. Teachers are very helpful, supportive, and well-educated. They will cover all the portions before the deadline. Exams are conducted by the university as per standards.

Other: We studied during the COVID period, so we got only 1.5 years of offline classes. Every year, the college conducts an inter-college fest, which is really wonderful. They also organise many events throughout the year. The connectivity to KMM College is better compared to many other colleges. It is around 2 km away from Lulu Mall, Kochi.
