Remarks

As per KTU every saturdays is a holiday. But in our college this is not followed. They have classes on first and third saturday. Sometimes even on second and fourth. This is so hard for some student who is staying in hostel. This has to change.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

KTU Curriculum is hard as i heard. But the first year looks pretty easy. There is Two Series Examinations and A Final University Exam at every semester. The series exam will have syllabus of almost 1 - 2 modules. And the Final examination will have all the of modules of the semester.

Placement Experience

As of heard the placement and job oppurtunities are really good. As i have just entered the college. I can only tell what i have heard. But i have heard pretty good thing about the placement in our college. The chances are high for the students of CSE.

College Events

3.5

This is my first year. As this is my first year. The programs have just started. We had a onam celebration. Which was amazing. As a NRI i have never celebrated Onam in this kinda way. It was pretty good. There are many programs coming our way.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure is good. Cannot say its so expensive to study here. It is kinda same in all the colleges in Kerala. As i got seat in government quota its feasible. Vidya has a good facilities and stuff for the fees they ask.

Fees and Financial Aid

MCM scorlaship for OBC students was the one which i opted for. This is for students who have income less than 2 Lakh. This was so helpful for me and the other students in the college. The college had us notified about the Scolarship and stuff. There are many other scholarship provided by Vidya for students who has good marks in 12th examinations. And there are scholarship examinations every year.

Campus Life

Labs are pretty good. As i am first time in a college. I feel like the school lab was nothing. They have everything which is required for the students to do their experiments. Its pretty big to be honest. They have separate labs for Physics, Computer, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Electronics and many more sub labs. The sports is not that bad at all. They have a basketball court, Football ground etc. Our college is under a huge radius so it is really big college to be honest.

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are pretty helpful in every part. Even if it is for a lift to near by spot. They help us clear our doubt. Help us if we have any doubt about the topics. And most of the alumini were pretty good as i have heard of. They were University rank holders. Which our teachers keep on telling us to improve us.

Admission

I wrote the KEAM Entrance examination to get into the college. But i already booked seat for management in the college before the KEAM results. When the results came. I got into government seat. The admission process was kinda Ok. I had to visit the college for submitting documents for like 3 to 4 times. But the faculty was good. And they supported as much as they can. First they called to sumbit the admission fees and some documents. Next time i went to register my application online to their lab. The faculty helped me to compelte the process. Next time after the KEAM results I had to visit the college

Faculty

4.5

Faculty is pretty good. Everyone is well experienced. The lab and lab staff are experienced as well. Everyone is the college is pretty helpful for every students. They conduct frequent meetings for the help of students to help improve the faculty.

Likes

College was at a beautiful place. It was not a city but a beautiful place.
Hostel was great. I got many friends from there.
These are the only things that I can think of.

Dislikes

Teachers, they are horrible one one teacher named aparna was professional and ethical. My HOD was the worst.
Principal is the worst. She does not hear students side. She is money minded. I had a fee pending for not more than 2 week. When I went to her for signing my medical report she demanded that she will sign only after I paid that fee
The college does not encourage extra curricular activities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is the worst. Teachers rush through the portions so that they can finish at the earliest. It may be because the university has a unjustifiable timetable. There is very little practicals given. The ones that are given are just for namesake.

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.

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.

Review of TOC H institute of science and technology

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.
