Remarks

Vidya engineering college is one of the best self financing colleges in Thrissur district and in Kerala.As a self financing college it is also a strict college.But the college supports students very well.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is good.All subjects consists of 6 modules.My college comes under Dr.Apj Abdul Kalam technological University.In my opinion the labs are not so tough but easy to understand.The University doesn't give much more importance to lab. But the exam pattern is little vierd.

Placement Experience

4.5

Vidya engineering college is conducting a large variety of placement opportunities of the final year students.Many of the students get placement in companies like TCS, IBS etc. My college is also providing internship of BOSCH and other companies.

College Events

3.5

My college conduts Tech fests, arts day, sports day and so on. Tech fests are the main of this category.Each branch have their own tech fests.It is a 2 day programme.Besides this our college also supports arts sports etc

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is different for different branches.Fee is paid annually.one can pay it as fullterm or can pay it in different intervels of academic year.Mechanical and civil have a little high fee structure when compared to other departments.

Fees and Financial Aid

College provides scholarship opportunities to students. Students who have high marks in entrance exams and have no back papers will get a full fee weighver scholarship.College also provides loan facility to students

Campus Life

Talking of extra curricular activities, the best is AIESEC, I've been a part of this for 2 years, also been to Vietnam for 6 weeks through it and it was totally a life changing and evolving experience. For dance enthusiasts we have dance groups DanceDukes and BeatLockers in our college. We also have Drama Society, Debate Society. Apart from there there is some event going throughout the year so it's always good to be part of the organizing committee. Sports facilities are also pretty fine here.

Alumni/Alumna

No, there's no such active alumni network that we have. Also the seniors that I know are mostly through organizing committees, sports, or AIESEC. They are all friendly and helpful most of the time. Also initially senior junior interaction is strictly prohibited.

Admission

I got admission through NPAT exams, which is an entrance exam conducted by the the University (NMIMS). Post that there was a merit list and counselling sessions accordingly held in Mumbai. I chose this course as it offers an integrated MBA + BTech degree which is a unique one, also the name of NMIMS matters. I chose Shirpur campus as It offers a campus life on the other part mumbai option does not has a campus.

Faculty

4.5

The facluties are very good and friendly with students.Most of them are highly educated having PHD. Every single teacher will help the student in their projects seminars and other extra curricular activities.They also help us in preparing for tech fests, paper presentations and so on.

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.

Is engineering here worth it?

Likes

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.
