Remarks

Our college is pretty much good in academics and extra curricular activities. But the college authorities are not that good in promoting extra curricular activities. They are keen on academics only. But they are not able to provide good faculties though.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

There is too much for a student to study in a small time period. We will only get around 50 full working days in a semester. Completing the whole portion is a task for both the teachers and the students. Exams will be held in every semesters. There are a total of 8 semesters.

Placement Experience

Placements are pretty high in our college. Some of the branches have almost 100% placement. Branches such as Safety and Fire Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology are the courses offering more placements. Our college doesn't provide any internship opportunities.

College Events

4.5

Onam is the cultural celebration of Kerala. It is celebrated elaborately in our college. There will be procession and different competitions held in the event. The competition will be branch wise Holi is also celebrated in our college since our college has about 40% students from north India.

Fee Structure And Facilities

We are forced to pay pretty much high fee. Fee has to be paid for every semester seperately. There are different sections of fees according to the rank we got in entrance exam, which can be called as state merit, all india merit and NRI quota

Fees and Financial Aid

Our college offers scholarships such as egrantz, which is a program of state government which gives money to socially and economically backward students Another scholarship is Hridayapaksham which is an initiative by some aluminies of our college.

Campus Life

Our college is very good at extra curricular activities. Lab facilities are pretty decent. There are also events like sports and arts seperately for our college and there is University level competition for both of these. Also there will be certain independent competitions for sports items as well.

Alumni/Alumna

Aluminies are very much helpful. They provide us scholarship. They help in our academic activities as well as provide support in our extra curricular activities also. They gives us tution during exam days and provides us previous year question papers also.

Admission

I attended the entrance exam of CUSAT l, which is named as Common Admission Test (CAT). I registered for civil engineering course and got alloted. I was asked to come to University for certificate verification. After verifying and paying the fees, my admission process was completed.

Faculty

2.5

Some of the faculities are pretty good in our college. But some of them are poor in terms of knowledge and teaching skills. Some faculties use internal marks as a weapon for their personal vengeance against students.

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.

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.

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.

Good learning environment with a good campus life

I choose Cochin University Of science and technology for Mtech Instrumentation Technician beacuse of its good reputation, affordable fees, and experienced faculty, and better focus on core technical subjects. I also got admission to Delhi University, but i prefer CUSAT because it was more affordable and better suited for instrumentation and automation studies. Admission to CUSAT is mainly based on GATE score and eligibility in a relevant BTech degree.The admission procees include online application and a exam DAT , rank list based on DAT , documenr verification, and fee payment.

Life of CUSATian

I have only applied to CUSAT, we i was not able to get admission there i would choose to work in a company. It was just a try from my side, but it actually worked out. For MTech, GATE qualifiers can direclty get the admission without any other exams. They can also avail monthly stipent of around Rs 10000. Other exam for admission is DAT exam which is conducted by the respective department of the course. I have taken the DAT exam under the Department of Statistics , where this MTech Data Science and Analytics is present. The eligibility includes BTech or MSc. Cutoff is majorly based on the number of students writing the exams and the number of seats. So cutoffs can vary. Students are selected based on the DAT ranklist. Spot admission is conducted for the remaining seats. There is also a least chance for students who didnt write the DAT Exam can also get the admission at the 2nd or 3rd spot admissions....Read More
