Entrance Preview

I got into it this college via Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination. Different courses have different cut off. For computer science it would be around 8000(rank).

Course Curriculum Overview

Since all the Engineering syllabus is currently based on one university it is same everywhere. It is good. As a computer science student I have learned many new things. If you want to go for higher studies or for job, this will help you. The topics covered in the syllabus will increase your knowledge in the current field.

Internships Opportunities

While I studied there was no internship as such. There was an incubator that was provided by the college and it is an advantage if you ask me.

Placement Experience

When it comes to placement the college is in forefront. There is a dedicated placement cell and the faculty who works in placement cell is awesome. As a result many good core companies come to the college. Usually all the eligible students will be placed before they leave the campus. Some students even get their dream companies.

College Events

When it comes to events also there are so many events that are being conducted there. Arts festival, technical fest, cultural fest etc Students who are good in almost everything will get chance to exhibit their talents. Apart from that all these fests will be conducted by students itself. This will help students to know how all these are conducted.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is actually decided by the government. It changes accordingly as they decide. There are three kinds of seats there which are merit, management and NRI. I studied in merit seat and during my time the fees was Rs. 20000. For management it was Rs. 65000 and for NRI seat it was one lakh. By now it would have increased.

Fees and Financial Aid

There was no specific loan facility that I have availed from the college and I don't think anything exists either. Scholarship was there, but I don't exactly know the name of the scholarship.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life was pretty awesome. Students have complete freedom. If you don't find the classes interesting you can always hang around :P Lab facilities were good. Students who are interested in sports can always take part in competitions. All kind of students study there. There is no partiality in any regard.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network was not particularly strong when I joined the college. But currently it has become better and sometimes alumni meetups are arranged. They are pretty helpful also.

Exam Structure

The exam structure is like 2 times a year. There are two semesters in a year. So for both of these semesters exams will be there which will be conducted by the university. Apart from that there will be exams conducted by college which will be taken into account for internal marks.

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

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.

An honest college review

I choose this college because it has vibrant campus life and freedom.It also has good placement records,good pass percentage. I also took due to distance advantage.This college also has good faculty, teaching. Although the campus is small, the infrastructure is well maintained. It has well structured labs.I also looked for cet, Trivandrum but I didn't get it because of my keam rank. The exam accepted for the course is keam and most of the students prefer it. Students can also join this college by nri quota without any entrance exam by giving more fees.I got admission in ece in sctce in the keam 1st allotment itself....Read More

A look inside Sct - Campus life, Academics and more

The main reason I chose this college was because this as under the Government of Kerala. It is held jointly by both government and ksrtc. This the standard of teachers will be better than other private colleges and campus life would be better as well. I have gotten confirmed admission from Amritha University and FISAT. I chose Sct because of the above given reason and also because of its location in trivandrum. I had applied to both Cet and Gect but I didn't pass the cutoff. The admission price for SCTCE is through KEAM which is held by the government of Kerala. If you have a valid rank you can apply to any college and can get selected according to the ranklist....Read More
