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.

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.

Review of St. Mary's College, Sulthan Bathery.
Placements: There are a few placement opportunities. No IT companies visit the college, so there are very few opportunities for placements. Students go for internships in Calicut or other districts, which are funded by themselves. The college does not provide internships.
Infrastructure: There is no free Wi-Fi. Labs are good. Many computers are not working. There is no big lab. The hostel is good, but the quantity of food served is very low. The canteen is good but not big. The college is good at sports and NCC. The medical support is bad here.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified but not helpful. The teaching quality is low. The course curriculum is not relevant because it won't give a job. Semester exams are a little tough. The pass percentage is high, but results are lagging, which may take many months.
Other: BCA is a good course if someone loves to work in the IT field. The college is good. The department is not good and friendly. There is no field visit for our department. Only Onam is the big event organised here.

The mountains loved college.
Placements: Above 80% mark in the plus two classes was offered to my course. The highest package was 10 LPA, and the lowest was 5 LPA. Microsoft, HDFC Bank, and Federal Bank were the companies that offered jobs. Above 95% percent of students got an internship from my course. The top roles offered were Data Analyst and Software Developer.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are above average. The college had a common library which held all types of books and was very spacious so that all other department students could also use it. The food is also awesome, which changes the routine monthly, and we also had an annual sports meet.
Faculty: The teachers were very aweful that all of them cared like their own children. They gave us all types of priority to study well and pass the semester exams. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes the students ready for the industry. The semester exams are not as difficult as we think.

BIAS absolutely satisfied with the course.
Placements: I have just started the Bachelor's degree, and it is a one-year program by Calicut University. In the fourth year, we will be having internships, and they will also provide placement. After a four-year program, the PG will be changed into a one-year program.
Infrastructure: About the course, I chose BCA because I am interested in coding and programming. There are lab assignments, and there are sports and activities. The hostel facilities are normal, but the food is not excellent or good. There is no neatness in the hostel.
Faculty: Some of the subject teachers are helpful, and they try their best to get a good mark. The coming exam is our first semester exam. 64% is the pass mark for the first semester. Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. Teachers are very friendly and active in addressing all the problems.
