Remarks

This is not the college life i was looking forward when i was a boy. If you want to enjoy the college life please stay away from college. But if you want a brand name with strict rules then come for it.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is pretty standard compared to other colleges and marks evaluation is also standard. Here in our college they follow relative grading system. Marks are divided into 4 sections, 1.1st periodical exam 2.2nd periodical exam 3. Continues evaluation 4.final semester exam

Placement Experience

2.5

Placement offers are pretty good for computer science department and for the other departments i don't think they are good for any other departments especially mechanical engineering. The other department students are struggling to get placed in I.T itself.

College Events

Amritanandamayi math aka. Amma is chancellor of our institution. Her birthday is on September 27, which is the biggest event in our college campus. Other than that there are some minor events and celebrations like Bharath mata puja , Vidyut fest, Calotsavam, diwali etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee Structure is way to high in this college. I feel the fee is pretty expensive, and it increases per year. The fee which we are paying is less than the fees our juniors are paying. For a middle class family it is difficult to pay the fees.

Fees and Financial Aid

No loan is offered by college. If you want any kind of loan you should apply it by yourself from any of the banks.As I've applied for loan I'd say the intrest are damn high for an educational loan. College do offer some scholarships.

Campus Life

There are no extracurricular activities in this college which are followed regularly. If you are onto anything you should pursue it by yourself. The instruments and equipments in lab are almost 15 years old.

Alumni/Alumna

There is no alumini network or any kind of stuff like that. But we had our beautiful and kind hearted seniors who guided us through this tough journey. We have some friendly seniors here to help us. And there are no ragging in this campus.

Admission

After completing my 12th on 2016 i came to know about Amrita through my cousin brother and wrote the entrance exam. After almost a month results came and i got selected. After getting the results I and my parents visited the college campus for admission. There we are told to pay ?1000 as a caution deposit and the admission process was done.

Faculty

2.5

This college have a good name and fame but the faculties are not upto the mark in terms of knowledge and knowledge deliverance. Some don't have much knowledge about the subject others don't know how to deliver their huge knowledge.

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.

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.

Comprehensive review of amrita Vishwa vidyapeetam - amritapuri campus:A blend of academic Excellence and campus life

When choosing a college several factors played a role in my decision to select Amma the Vishwa vidyapeethum campus from my cyber security program over other institutions applied to. Compared with other colleges I applied to 1. VIT Vellore 2. BITS Pilani 3. SRM institute of science and technology Amrita has an excellent repetition for its faculty in cyber security. The professors are experienced and have a strong academic background along with industry exposure which was highly appealing to me. Including well accepted cyber security lapse. These lamps focus on practical penetration testing ,network security ,and ethical hacking. Amrita amrutapuri is situated in a peaceful coastal area offering a conductive environment for studies the campus life is lively with several extra curricular and co curricular activities that I found very attractive. Wet Vellore and SRM also afford good campus life but were much larger in size and I felt amritas more intimate campus would be better for personalised learning....Read More
