Remarks

College reputation still hold good. Some good company come every year and hire student of relatively good package. But it lack it's infrastructure and lab update. Some modification are necessary in exam pattern and hostel facilities. college administration might consider the problem and difficulties faced by all india category student which is outside of Kerala.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course curriculum is based on IIT MADRAS but some improvisation is being done as college is autonomous. In this college the toughest part is it's exam pattern as you don't have any options for your internal marks improvement.

Placement Experience

3

Placements are good in software field as many companies come to hire aspirants for their software and networking skill but great lack of job opportunities in core branch like mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. college doesn't provide any internship not even help student in that matter.

College Events

2.5

Many events are organised and celebrated like cultural fest like sargam, tech fest like DISHANA. Onam celebration on grand scale. Recently Tedx CUSAT was organised. Many hostel fest are also organised like sahara hostel fest. Some science fest like scienza.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Actually fee structure vary according to the category in which you have admitted. Like for all india general category it's around 45k per semester. For NRI it much more, for keralite general category its around 23k, for OBC its around 3k and for SC & ST its 0.25k.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarship facility are provided to SC & ST student and economically backward student but this is also for keralite student only. Non keralite student have only one facility of government education loan which are run by their respective state government. TEQUIP-III provide some fund for industrial visit and internship programme.

Campus Life

2.5

Various sports activities are organised like cricket, football, Tebal tennis, Badminton Basketball. various athletic events like 100m, 200m,400m run. are also organised. Inter college sport activities are also organised. Lab activities are included according to the syllabus mandatory. No any competition activities are organised based on lab.

Hostel Facilities

1.5

It's really hard to get hostel for all india general category type student as there is no any separate hostel provided. As the campus is politics driven major portion of seats are allocated to keralite student. For general category girl also face the same problem, they even can't get hostel. You have to live in private house or flat and pay heavy rent.

Alumni/Alumna

Honestly speaking i can say, it depend on your bond with respective alumni and senior. college partly organised any alumni meet or any activities to interact with them. It does not happen on regular basis. From last three year only one alumni meet happen.

Admission

I got admitted via CAT exam conducted by CUSAT at all india level. Admission are based on rank you acquire in entrance exam. You have to be in 2k for general category but you have to be within 1k for branch like computer science or fire and safety engineering.

Faculty

3

It is of great concern as many faculty are hired on contract basis lack communication skills and teaching skill. Some professor are really good which are on permanent basis, they are helpful. But lack of permanent faculty are of great concern.

Placement Experience:

Upon reaching s7 students are invited for campus placement but they have to pass different criteria to become eligible for attending the interview, a minimum cgpa of 7.5 and academic skills a these are the basic requirements and an aptitude test will be given and in further selection these criteria are looked. I plan on pursuing a job after completing by btech. More than half the students in a batch are getting placed usually.

From the 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. So many companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Gst Global, etc. are visited for placements. These companies provide placement for all the branches of the college. 90 percent of the students get placements. I prefer to go for higher studies after getting the degree.
