Remarks

Only thing is that the college should have more area and incorporate more sports activities.

Entrance Preview

KEAM, I scored 484 out of a possible 900. I opted this college as it was one of the finest govt colleges in Kerala and it boasts a good faculty and a descent fee structure of Rs 8110 which significantly lower than most of the private colleges and infrastructure is also good.

Course Curriculum Overview

We are presently following KTU curriculum and since it is a new university it is tough for some to accept the changes, but they are doing their best for promoting quality education and making better engineers.

Internships Opportunities

No our college does not currently provide internship but there are several student programs for research and projects.

Placement Experience

Like most of the Engg colleges in kerala, they also boast placement from IT sectors,but lacks core company placement.

College Events

4.5

The college offers a large no techfest as well as cultural fest also, every month the college will host workshops on different topics and every once in a year they have sports events also.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is feasible and provide many relaxations for students from lower caste as well as those with low annual income.

Fees and Financial Aid

Like i Said before there are last he no of student facilities which students can avail by applying.

Campus Life

The campus life is colorful and have no chauvinistic atmosphere and grants complete freedom to students irrespective of gender and lots of activities such as robotics club, elections workshops cultural place make it an apt place for higher education.

Hostel Facilities

The college only has a girls hostel and I do not have any knowledge about that,and a hostel for boys is currently under construction, the mess food is not up to the mark and there is not much variety of dishes which we would expect in a college,but since it is located at the heart of the city there are plenty of hotels and good hostels around the college.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The college was established on 1997 and it is still growing so it cannot boast about a strong alumni.

Exam Structure

We have internal exams every 2 months, and finals at the end of every semester.

Faculty

The college faculty mostly consist of IIT aluminis and they are doing their level best for quality education and helping students in every way possible

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

My College Review

Likes

The teachers here are very friendly and very helpful
The climate here is also very peacefull and very good atmosphere to study
The students here are from everywhere so there is a big diversity in the culture

Dislikes

There is a lack of public transportation system like railway station here
There are lots of insects and others things here which is very disturbing during summer season
The main problem the students here are going through is the bad quality of hostel food that we get here

Placement Experience:

Our college is a NAAC accredited college and lots of companies come here to recruit our students . Last year one of a students who studied here got a really big placement of 48 lakhs per annum and there is a placement cell available here in the campus which tries to get all the students placement like these !!

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

G.E.C. PALAMU : A. Brief Overview .

Actually I applied in Chandigarh University , KIIT , SRM, and Quantum University . I even. Done the formalities of Quantum University but when the result of JCECEB COUNSELING came I took decision to take admission in this college as for now I think my decision is good . This college first of all government aided which provides a way better option than other private colleges which I opted for . Also this college might not compare with the other private colleges which I mentioned in so called renowned facilities but still we can get all basic facilities here . And all the above the fees here is very much affordable as compared to all the colleges which I mentioned in my list . Means all your engineering course will be completed in about 5 lakhs . which is very much less as compared to even NIT and IIT. For admission you have to give either jee mains or you can give JCECEB exam but you have to sit in JCECEB COUNSELING to get this college .all information you will get from the youtube about the councelling...Read More
