A college where the only good thing is faculty members.
Placements: Total of 25 students in my course. The college did not provide any internship opportunities through connections with companies. The package offered in the course was good. But we had to find our own ways. Since, there was no placement assistance.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure were very poor as the buildings were not even made with brick and cement. They were made of fibre plates. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was that the fans and lights were working properly, and one side of the building was good enough. There was no hostel facility in the institution.
Faculty: Teachers were the only good thing about the college. They were very good and helpful. They provided very good classes and also communicated and solved every problem faced in the curriculum. The exams were not that tough. When you studied enough, you could crack them.
Other: This course provided a better career opportunity while going forward. But it should have tried to add more practical knowledge rather than full-fledged theory portions in the course. Friends that I got from the institution were irreplaceable.

Excellent faculty members, strong placements and great practical exposure in hospitality training.
Placements: For B.Sc. HMCA, around 80 percent of students get placed. Top recruiters are Taj ITC Marriott and Oberoi. The highest package offered is 5 LPA, the average package offered is 3 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 2 LPA with roles in culinary F&B and hotel operations. Top roles in IT and management.
Infrastructure: College offers modern classrooms, Wi-Fi, a digital library and fully equipped hotel management and culinary labs. The hostel is clean and safe, the canteen food is hygienic, and medical care is available on campus. There are also good sports and recreation facilities outdoors and indoors.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and experienced in both academics and industry. The course curriculum is industry-relevant and includes real-world training. Semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is around 90 percent with good guidance.
Other: I am passionate about culinary arts and hospitality. The best parts are hands-on kitchen training, industrial exposure and supporting faculty. The campus crowd is friendly with fests, cultural events, and extracurricular activities.

Bachelor of education course.
Placements: Absolute zero charges for gaining an offer letter or any other recruitment within the college. Their only aim is to share the maximized professional experience with the students by sending them into various internships. There is no isolated place to discuss the jobs or recruitment in the college.
Infrastructure: The number of buses operated from the college is lower than needed. For sending students to the internships, they ask us to look for our own mode of transportation. It's a small construction designed for students to hold a maximum of 1000 students only.
Faculty: Faculty members took over the complete responsibilities about the students’ academics and safety. They help us to gain professional experience step by step with immediate feedback. Faculty members won't provide importance to the examinations, but they prepare us to clear exams with decent scores.

Absolutely good campus life and difficult in placements.
Placements: By knowledge, I think 40 percent of students got placed in our course. I don't know much about recruiting companies, and a student got 100 percent internships from the course, and I don't know much about the company Details. Many roles are offered from this course.
Infrastructure: Quality is good. It has good food available and facilities in the hostel. There is a new canteen available with good food, and it is very clean. Medical facilities are also good and very helpful, and highly important for sports and games and other physical activities.
Faculty: 75% is the pass percentage, and it is very difficult. The difficulty of semester exams and pass percentage vary by college, but a general passing mark is around 40-50 percent for individual papers, though some universities may set the overall aggregate passing mark higher.
Other: Good event, a large campus crowd, and also extracurricular activities. More engaging events and festivals, improvements to campus connectivity and surroundings, better extracurricular activity options, and increased scholarship opportunities.

Good in terms of placements, education, infrastructure, and faculty. Events are fewer.
Placements: In my college, about 75 to 80 percent of undergraduate students are placed in top companies. Companies like IBM, TCS, Cognizant, and many other companies visit our campus for placement. Internship opportunities are solely students' efforts. The average salary package offered is 8 LPA.
Infrastructure: Our college provides a separate library for Computer Science as well as a central library. A digital library is also available. Labs are also up to the mark and follow the KTU requirements. Our college is known for sports activities, and we have separate clubs for dance, music, literature, technical clubs, etc.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are well qualified, having graduated from top universities like NIT and IIT. Even though one or two of them are not up to the mark, most of them guide you very well. Course curriculum and exams are common for almost all colleges in Kerala under KTU, and I think there is a gap between the curriculum and the industry. We are ranked in the 5th position in terms of pass percentage among colleges under KTU.
Other: I chose this course as I am passionate about computer Science. It provides you with great opportunities, and the roles that you could do are endless. If the course could provide students with more experience while studying, it would be better. The number of events organized on our campus is less compared to other government engineering colleges, which is one thing the students complain about. Clubs are there to improve your skills and showcase them in various fields.

Thejus Engineering College review.
Placements: There is no assurance in placements because placements are conducted in college only for show. Students are recruited for mobile cell and all. Placements offered by the college are not comprehensive. But teaching is best, and it is your responsibility to perform well and find a job.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is the best compared to other colleges in Thrissur. Nice ambience and surroundings. You can enjoy the campus; it looks super good and is well maintained, powered by solar. For every course, they offer well-educated teachers who behave well and show responsibility towards us. I am not staying in the hostel, but I have heard that they offer good facilities in the hostel and the food is also good.
Faculty: Teachers are placed according to the branches, every branch has separate teachers for the subjects. They are all friendly, well-behaved, have a helping mentality, and show responsibility towards us. There are many programs conducted to encourage our skills. Teachers give us the important topics at the time of exams, and sometimes exams are slightly tough as KTU is taking care of it.
