Siddharth's Review On L.B.S. College Of Engineering - [LBSCEK], Kasaragod

College has very good students who mingle each other well the politics in the college is enjoyed by students very much though it leads to big conflicts. The buildings and primary facilities are not up to the mark faculities are also less skilled and less experienced.

KEAM(Kerala Engineering Entrance), 16400 rank. I chose this college because it is very near to my residence, college gets good results in Kannur University and great facilities and faculties. I chose Civil Engineering because I think it has great score for development and I am very interested in this field. The admission process is simple in Kerala. Apply for college and be eligible for a seat, pay fees of first year and atrend a small interview in college and submit primary documents.

Course structure is satisfactory for most of the departments. But, in our Dept. (Civil) it's not up to the mark. Even though there is good research works and projects that are done on college itself and in construction sites, faculties are not much experienced and also not much in the willing part. The laboratory facilities are available with improved instruments.There is also great coordination between authorities, faculties and students.

There is no internship facilities usually, not much colleges provide internship for engineering courses.

Placement and Job opportunity Cell has improved a lot over last few years. Last year, more than 100 students were placed in companies with a starting salary of 40000 and more. Our college is frequently visited by IT, Computer and Electronic companies and they select many students yearly. More than 50 students were placed this year already. The companies which visit include IBM, Infosys, Wipro, Oracle, etc. and they offer a starting salary in the range 30000-60000.

There are several cultural, college and technical festivals that are being conducted yearly. Every Dept. in our college conduct their tech fest once in a year that long 3-7 days and include wide varieties of technical researches, papers, presentations, seminars, models, instruments, machines, musical events, special displays, contests and cultural events. Our Civil Dept. conduct a fest with the name 'Srishti' very grandly. Moreover other College Level fests like Arts Fest, Sports Fest are also conducted every year. Cultural Festivals like Onam, Christmas, Holy, Eid etc. are celebrated in the college with maximum participation of Students and Faculties and these fests become non-erasable memories for anyone involved.

Lots of scholarship are available for scheduled castes, special concession in fees are given that they have to pay only 1% of the fee. They also get other scholarships. Scholarships for Minorities, Girls, Disabled etc. are available both from Central Govt and State Govt. I am availing a minority scholarship of ?25000 a year. Loan facilities are readily available in a Bank Branch present in the campus itself. One can avail loan from exrernal links also, as in case of me availing loan of my fee(?65000/year) from State Bank of India.

Campus life is awesome due to large coordination between Students. One can enjoy every moment out there. Gender ratio is almost equal with Girls seemingly the majority. There is no much difference between Genders and they interact each other very friendly. Inside Campus, every one become equal and there is no importance for economy, gender and religion. The one thing that matters is politics, and students use fun side from it, enjoying struggles, strikes, marches and fights. Politics play a big role in campus. Extracurricular activities take place actively and so is sports.

Hostels have adequate accommodation facilities. Safeguarded by Faculties and Security Persons, hostels have great environment to study. The hostel fees are not very high, but the condition of Mess Food is very poor. They always provide same ordinary food any day, any time. The Rooms are large shared by 4-6 students. There are more than required number of seats in hostels. Hostels are separate for Boys and Girls. Most of then are located in the Campus itself. Each year students have seperate hostel.

There is an active alumni association that plays key role in development of college i am not a member of it yet. Senior Students coordinate with Juniors very well but, initial ragging takes place every year very widely which later result in good coordination.
