Almost satisfied because of faculty members, placements, teaching method, and environment.
Placements: About 50% of students get placements. The minimum salary range provided is 12–20 LPA. Companies like Manappuram Finance, finance sector companies, and IT sector companies recruit students. The college conducts mock interviews to help students prepare and succeed in placements.
Infrastructure: The college has good computer labs and a library. The food quality is good. The rooms are well-maintained. The environment is suitable for staying and studying. The warden is supportive like a family member. An internet connection is provided in labs. The classrooms are good. The campus has a good academic environment. There is a wide collection of books, magazines, and newspapers.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and qualified. The college is affiliated with Calicut University. It provides a wide range of syllabus topics useful for the future. As we are the FYUGP first batch, the exams are a bit difficult, and a minimum of 75% is required to pass.
Other: For a better future, add-on courses should be provided. Events and campus life should be improved, as there are fewer programs.

Absolutely satisfied with placement and infrastructure.
Placements: There are a lot of placements at IHRD Calicut because it is NAAC-certified, has a good campus, and I can refer you for the IHRD Calicut event. Good companies like TCS, Infosys, and other companies offer placements from IHRD Calicut. There is training for interviews.
Infrastructure: There are classrooms with Wi-Fi and CCT, and a good lab for computer science, BC, and electronics students. 80s is good for computer science. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is good and budget-friendly for the students.
Faculty: The staff is friendly with us. It is a good college. Teachers are good at teaching and are always available.
Other: The fee structure of Calicut IHRD for computer science is Rs. 17,000 per semester. In electronics, it is Rs. 18,000 per semester and if you are from a backward cast, you have gotten an E-grant and can study without payment.

Top events and good fests are organised here. It is good.
Placements: Students with good marks in +12 get admission in this course. The fee is a bit high, but studies are good. Top recruiting companies like Google, Microsoft, etc., visit the college to hire students. I don't know much about roles offered in the course. I think placements are good.
Infrastructure: Labs and the library are top-notch. Classrooms and Wi-Fi need to be improved. I do not stay in any hostel, but my friends stay in the hostel, and they say it is the worst. The food and canteen are very bad.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified. Teaching quality is the best. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are a bit tough, but it is hard to score high marks in internals. We need to score half of the total.
Other: I chose this course for higher studies. The course is good, but we need skills too. There is no need to improve in the course as it is very good. Events, fests, and the campus crowd are top. I don't know much about scholarships.

I am not satisfied with the faculty members and placements.
Placements: Placements in my college for BCA are not very good. Only 30-40 percent of students in our batch got placed. Most students get jobs from small or local companies, not big companies. The highest package offered ranges from 4-5 LPA. The average package offered ranges from 2-3 LPA. Mostly, small IT companies and startups came for hiring. Big companies like TCS or Infosys rarely visit the college. Internship chances are also low, and only a few students got them on their own. Common roles offered are junior developer, support staff, data entry, and basic IT jobs.
Faculty: Faculty members are not that experienced. Most of them are like trainee teachers who come here to gain experience for a year and then move to better colleges, so the teaching quality is not that great. The BCA course itself follows the Calicut University syllabus, which is good. The main issue is the faculty members. Exams are not very difficult if we study basics. Many students are able to pass, so the overall academics depend more on self-study than teaching.
Other: I chose BCA because I'm good at coding and completed my 12th board in computer science. The coding seems to work for me, but I wish they taught a new way or a modern way rather than this old stuff. Events in college are rare. The management does not allow many events in college. All events are like those small clubs, and those are dull events.

One of the best colleges to pursue BCA.
Placements: College doesn't provide any placement opportunities to the students. About 50 percent of the students were placed from our previous batch by their own effort. The highest package offered for our students is recorded as Rs 20,000 per month. The minimum salary is known to be Rs 10,000 per month. Usually, our college students depend on other agencies or do internships to find a job. College doesn't provide an internship opportunity to the students. Top roles offered for our course include computer engineer, software developer, back-end developer, front-end analyzer, etc.
Infrastructure: For our course in our department, there is a computer lab available about 50 desktops and Wi-Fi connection. Classrooms are well-equipped with good ventilation and lighting facilities. We have an average library with a good collection of books relevant to BCA. There is no hostel facility available in this college. Food available in the canteen is just average. College doesn't provide any medical facilities to the students. Various sports and games are encouraged in the college, which include cricket, football, volleyball, chess, and badminton.
Faculty: Teachers are found to be helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is experienced as awesome. I found this course and syllabus to be relevant in this era, especially in the AI era. The course makes the students ready for the industry. I experienced the course as medium difficult, and the exams are conducted correctly each summer. Exams are conducted by the university. The minimum pass percentage is 50 percent.
Other: I chose this course mainly because I love working from home. This course enables us to have many paths to do a job from the comfort of our life. The college should immediately start a placement and a training cell. The college needs to sign MoEs with the major industries relevant to this course. They should improve library by collecting more relevant books. I also recommend that the college provide hands-on training with new methods and projects to make them industry-ready.

Don Bosco College review.
Placements: 52 students were in my class, we are currently studying, but in the case of seniors, almost of them get placed. After master's we can be anything, like a data analyst, software engineer, etc. Many of the. Students go abroad for more studies and for work.
Infrastructure: In my department, there are many facilities. Mess is good, it's the food that is prepared there, everything is Kerala food, and like home prepared, so anyone from Kerala and anyone from any part of Kerala can simply adjust there.
Faculty: The teachers are well-educated and all of them are qualified with a Master's, some of them have done their Master's in their subjects. Semester exams are conducted by Calicut University. They are tough, but they can be passed. The pass percentage is above 70% at our Don Bosco College.
