Absolutely good for students who come with a mindset of studies.
Placements: 10% of students are getting placed. Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 30,000 is the primary salary offered. Wipro, TCS and many other IT companies are recruiting. IT professions are mainly concentrated. All the courses are good, mainly concentrating on IT professions. If you don't want to study, don't go there.
Infrastructure: All facilities are good, but there is a lack of campus area. Mess available is low. There is no hostel provided by the college. As the college is in the city centre, there are many hostels and PG's for students. Wi-Fi is not open for students, and there is also a small library.
Faculty: The college has good faculty and high teaching quality. This course curriculum is a relevant one. 30% is required for passing. There is no difficulty in semester exams. The course is not only theory-based but also has efficient lab programs to make students industry-ready. Those who only study well can reach success.
Other: All programs are held in a good way.

Good infrastructure and average faculty members.
Placements: I am at CSE. We currently have 3 divisions and apart from that there is Cybersecurity. From next year onwards there are 2 extra courses probably a new cybersecurity course. IBM, Tata, and Infosys are top companies. Almost 50 percent of students are placed rest go abroad with their connections.
Infrastructure: There is high-speed Wi-Fi available. The college has very good greenery all around. The infrastructure is very nice. Compared to other private colleges this is a very solid option. This college is not very well-known for sports so I would recommend it for athletes.
Faculty: Teachers are average. The faculty is average. They are not the top ones. If you are lucky you will get good teachers. Most of them are knowledgeable, but a few know how to teach properly. The exams are difficult for an average student. Regular study is needed to pass all the exams.

Sreepathy is basically a good college to study but campus life is a little off for me.
Placements: Almost 80 percent of students got placed at companies like Wipro, TCS, etc. Many students got internships and placements outside Kerala with a good stipend and starting packages. Even the college organizes placement training programs which help to get placement opportunities very well.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library are all available. Hostel facilities are a little down since not many students use them. The hostel needs to be improved I think it will over time. Food is not bad, they provide both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, and I have never had a complaint about food from any students.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful even after classes. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Faculty members are too good and they never cause any problems. They provide extra classes if students need and clarify doubts without any hesitation.
Other: I chose it because it's the future and it's more practical that's the best thing about it. Low industry knowledge is needed to improve that. Events, fest, campus crowd, connectivity, campus surroundings, scholarship, and extracurricular activities are all there and it's good.
