Remarks

Positives - colourful college experience - good placement record among engg colleges in kerala - abundant co- curricular activities - you learn to become independent @ sct Negatives - campus space is very less - no hostel - no ground

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The university is KTU( Kerala Technological University), which was formed recently, about 4-5 years ago. KTU consists of almost all engineering colleges in Kerala and so has the potential to be a reputed university. The syllabus is quite reformed from the Kerala University syllabus, made quite easier. There have been complaints about the Uni exams being tough at the start of the university but recrntly all have been fair. That said, there are many flaws with the university.

Placement Experience

One of the bonuses that you get with SCT compared to other engineering colleges is that there is a good placement unit. If you clear your papers alright, you get placed. The college management itself does not provide any internships but the college is in Trivandrum city. Explore the technopark and get yourself an internship

College Events

Like I said, wanna have a memorable college, there is SCT for you. Cult A Way, is the college techno-cultural festival, about which you might have heard. Every memorable occasion is celebrated. SCT is heaven.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee is very much affordable. There are govt seats and management seats. The govt fee is about 40k per year and management fee is about 75k per year. If you are to be a hosteller, there would be extra expense

Fees and Financial Aid

I dont know much about scholarships offered by the college. One thing I know is that there is zero fee for the students who are at the top of the merit list. Anyways, there are a lot of scholarship schemes offered by the kerala govt and the central govt which can be availed easily.

Campus Life

Although there is no big ground or campus at SCT, extracurricular activities are abundant. The mechanical department labs are very good. The other department labs are alright but not that great. The sports meet takes place @ the university ground in Trivandrum. The Arts day function is called 'Sargam,Chitram,Thaalam'.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network is pretty good. I have witnessed the EC alumni investing in the EC department labs. The alumni provides support to the placement cell. The senior students are very much helpful and provide good advices.

Admission

Attended KEAM ( Kerala Enginnering Admission Test) Merit list is prepared by the Kerala Govt education body. Before allotment, students are instructed to give choice of colleges under KEAM. About 4 allotments take place.

Faculty

2.5

I am pursuing Electronics & Communication course. I would say the EC faculty is below average but the the most sort after department in SCT ie, the mechanical department has a good faculty that will give you proper guidance. Although I admit that the EC faculty are not that great, the teachers are helpful and will provide you with proper guidance

Lack of campus life as college is strict
Majority of the staff members are the type to hold a grudge against you
Spoon feeding students and not allowing them to think and improvise accordingly

Decent infrastructure. hostel infrastructure is also clean and better than most colleges

Dislikes

Very poor campus life. No importance for cultural programmes and activities
Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.
Very low packages for average students. Placement training is regularly being provided, but it is too hectic to be managed along with curriculum.

Placement Experience:

students become eligible for placements after sixth semester. Major companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, e.t.c are recruiters. about 5-10 students are recuited on average by these companies. highest package was offered by south indian bank in 2023 (10 LPA). average packges are around 2 to 3 LPA.

All the teachers are well qualified and equipped to teach but the quality of teaching differs as per individual.

Dislikes

The say of students in matters concerning them or others is nil. We have very little say as the management takes all decisons.
Teachers have ego and superiority issues between themselves which might affect the children in 4th year,project phases.
Fests,events and functions are not upto any expectations.Schools in trivandrum have better events than our college.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible from 7th semester to sit for interviews. The pod.ai app helps us in making the resume and calculating a cgpa to appear for the intwrviews. The pod.ai registration fees is 500?. Companies such as nissan,infosys,commandtech,bimlabs,gulfasia etc has visited . And the highest package was 11 LPA and lowest was 3 LPA

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

Likes

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

Likes

When it comes to the campus life, I enjoyed all the 4 years
The infrastructure was okayish Could've improved.
The faculty was really friendly and I was able to approach them without any hesitation.

Dislikes

The road from the junction to the college is not at all maintained. Students coming up the hill find it very difficult to reach college
The bus fees are increased every year. But these people can't find a way to provide seats for the students after paying their bus fee.
Some other campus offer many varieties of food in their canteen. This has to be done here too

Placement Experience:

The students usually start appearing for campus placements in their 6th semester. The training for the campus placements is started for all the students from the 4th semester. Many companies visited for campus placements. But one main problem is that most of them were low packages. Around 4LPA. Some were between 4-6 and a very few between 6-10. Most of them got placed in our batch in some company.

An honest college review

I choose this college because it has vibrant campus life and freedom.It also has good placement records,good pass percentage. I also took due to distance advantage.This college also has good faculty, teaching. Although the campus is small, the infrastructure is well maintained. It has well structured labs.I also looked for cet, Trivandrum but I didn't get it because of my keam rank. The exam accepted for the course is keam and most of the students prefer it. Students can also join this college by nri quota without any entrance exam by giving more fees.I got admission in ece in sctce in the keam 1st allotment itself....Read More

A look inside Sct - Campus life, Academics and more

The main reason I chose this college was because this as under the Government of Kerala. It is held jointly by both government and ksrtc. This the standard of teachers will be better than other private colleges and campus life would be better as well. I have gotten confirmed admission from Amritha University and FISAT. I chose Sct because of the above given reason and also because of its location in trivandrum. I had applied to both Cet and Gect but I didn't pass the cutoff. The admission price for SCTCE is through KEAM which is held by the government of Kerala. If you have a valid rank you can apply to any college and can get selected according to the ranklist....Read More
