It's a totally good campus with good infrastructure and academic conditions.
Placements: There is a placement cell, but that is not efficient. But some of the departments, like MBA, have their own placement cells. The university placement cell is not working properly, so we need to find other jobs in the job market. But there are some companies that are recruiting students.
Infrastructure: There is a good hostel facility and a mess. Hostel food is far better than others. The hostel has four shared and single rooms. The cost of living is very low here. Only 170 rupees per month is rent. We can afford it easily. Toilets are very neat and clean.
Faculty: Here, the faculty is very qualified and highly educated. We can easily access their guidance. They will truly help us in our own projects and research. Some of them are world-listed scientists. We can talk to them and make decisions in our project work.
Other: There are so many events on campus.

Will be useful if used in a good way.
Placements: The first batch of the course will be completing the course in 2026, so the placements and recruiting companies are not known. Every student is informed and given internship opportunities by the department from the second year onwards. It is kind of mandatory to do an internship within the third year.
Infrastructure: Currently, the department doesn’t have a building of its own, but they will soon have one. The department building currently used has Wi-Fi, library, computer labs, and classrooms. Students have both men’s and women’s hostels within the campus, along with a gym, stadium, health center, central library, and a park.
Faculty: It is a research-oriented course, so if seen that way, it will be easier and more useful. The course curriculum is relevant, but if it had more practical exposure, it would be more useful for the students. The difficulty of exams varies among students. Every resource for studying is available in the department library or central library.

Absolutely satisfied with the college.
Placements: The college has very bad placement facilities. The university offers placement, but the amount is very low. Some of the departments have a special placement cell. They are working actively. They provide good placement for their students. MBA is a good example of placements.
Infrastructure: There is a good hostel facility and bathrooms. We can live easily in hostels. The students have the esteem power. We can do whatever we want. There are 4 shared rooms, 2 shared rooms, and single rooms. They provide it based on distance. There are 1000 people in facilities available.
Faculty: The course curriculum makes the students industry-ready and capable for the job market. Semester exams are very easy to score higher marks in. There is a good infrastructure for studying. Teachers are well qualified with Ph.D. and a PDF. We can use their knowledge for our projects and research.
Other: Good campus for students.

Satisfied with the infrastructure and dissatisfied with the placement.
Placements: Poor placement, and we can't trust the placement system. They don't make us employed. If we need to, we can find jobs in the market. They only make us able in the job market. Some of the departments, like the MBA, are providing placement. It's also rare, but comparatively good.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good, and the bathrooms are very clean. The infrastructure is also very good. We have lots of resources for knowledge. Libraries and labs are there. Qualified teachers are there. 3000 students are currently studying. They are all satisfied with the facilities.
Faculty: Good faculty members are there. They are all qualified, and they can absolutely teach us. They are all PhD holders or ongoing PhD students. We can use qualified teachers' consultation, and it also helps in our own projects and paper presentations based on our study.
Other: The security system is very weak, but adjustable.

There is no specified fee. Most of the courses are free. Some of them are self-financing.
Placements: There is only one placement programme that has been conducted in the past 3 years. A very poor placement cell is there. We can find a job outside of the campus. Some departments have their own placement cell, and they provide good jobs for students every year.
Infrastructure: Hostels are open 24 hours a day, and there are no ragging issues. Each block has many toilets with hygiene facilities. Student mess is running there, and the cost will be low. The food was also very nice. Kerala-style food is served here. There are no restrictions on going outside the campus.
Faculty: The college provides qualified teachers with good infrastructure for study. There were many Ph.D. holders. Highly qualified teachers are there. Some of them are listed scientists and include the world's best 5 scientists. We can also use their guidance for our project.
Other: Lots of programmes are conducted each year. Festivals are also celebrated. Political programmes are also there.
