Entrance Preview

I took KEAM - Kerala Entrance Exam. It is one of the few technical institutions in South India, which admits students mostly on a merit basis through an All Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination. Admission to this institution requires good ranks in this examination.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Mine was 2008 scheme which was outdated. Now 2013 scheme is also over and APJ university is currently in place. It is very good and helps to mold you into a good engineer with a lot of practical knowledge for sure. I think the current University promotes research as well.

Internships Opportunities

Yes , though it is only for a few branches. Internship is good for branches like Computer Science . Companies like Amazon do offer internships for them. A stipend of nearly 45 K for 1.5 months was given to them. Not much internship for civil students. I did one internship in a company named Build Next.

Placement Experience

Placement is good. A number of Software companies and Core companies do visit the college. Software giants like TCS, Infosys, Hexagon, Accenture visit college yearly. in total nearly 100 companies come yearly. Increasingly recognized by recruiters for its abundant talent pool and excellent facilities, CET's placement process aims to match the requirements of recruiters and the aspirations of students.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It is a government college and hence the fees will be very low compared to other colleges. Infact per year my fees was around 7,200 Rs and then some exam fee of around 100 per paper or so was also there. This is very low as compared to some private colleges which ask for around 50 K per year or more. Hence do not even have the slightest worries in fee. Even if you are poor there will be scholarships.

Fees and Financial Aid

I had CBSE central Sector Scholarship and hence could not get any more scholarships. A large number of awards and scholarships are awarded to outstanding students in academics and sports.

Exam Structure

Usually the do give sufficient gap of 2 days before exams. Labs might be scheduled earlier than written paper. Semester exams are there nearly in every 6 months. Each semester had 2 series exams as well. All in all it wont be too hectic but be ready to get some tensions occasionaly.

Faculty

It is one of the best in terms of faculty. Very qualified teachers who took Mtech from IIT and top NIT are there too. They are quite helpful and experienced.The college was ranked 47 in Outlook Magazine's LIST of Top 100 Engineering Colleges in India 2016 which itself shows how good the faculty is.

Cultural clubs , technical clubs are also present here to aid in your interest

Placement Experience:

Upon reaching s7 students are invited for campus placement but they have to pass different criteria to become eligible for attending the interview, a minimum cgpa of 7.5 and academic skills a these are the basic requirements and an aptitude test will be given and in further selection these criteria are looked. I plan on pursuing a job after completing by btech. More than half the students in a batch are getting placed usually.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the curriculum covers key subjects like Python, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Deep Learning right from the early semesters. The inclusion of electives such as IoT, Cloud Computing, and NLP made it future-relevant and versatile.

Campus, comparing from nearby college this college had good visual beauty may be because of the college been part 2-3 movies. Visually the college are too good with nature

Dislikes

The Placement is weak as there is no opportunity to get a proper core based job from what you studied mainly job opportunities come from call centres which doesnt require Btech to study. This personally felt too sad to be here to get placed in core.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As of the college comes under Ktu syllabus it has already has demerits of the university. Curriculum basically doesnot provide a realworld application uses. Just creates a knowledge on the course (and thats doubt) We need to courses outside the college to get the core jobs outside

The college provides a good atmosphere to truly get a job in the competetive world if we are willing to work for it.
They heavily monitor attendance to make sure that you take your classes so that you perform well in your exams
The facilities provided by the college are good as there are several labs and workshops for hands-on experience

Dislikes

The campus life can get boring and it feels like we are in a rat race.
Some teachers can be a bit apathetic towards the students.
The number events that encourage social interactions in not many

Placement Experience:

The students are elegible for campus placements from the 7th semester and almost all students get placements provided they don't have any subject yet to clear at the time of placement. There are several companies that visit the college for recruiting including but not limited to TCS, CTS,etc,.

Placement Experience:

From the 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. So many companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Gst Global, etc. are visited for placements. These companies provide placement for all the branches of the college. 90 percent of the students get placements. I prefer to go for higher studies after getting the degree.

This college is the best government college in Kerala. It has been consistently first in KIRF ranking. It has very cheap fees. The campus is very beautiful and spacious (about 200 acres). My best choice of colleges very IITs and NITs like most people. I couldn't crack JEE. I only applied to this college because I had very high ranking in KEAM exam and was confident of acceptance. KEAM exam is a lot easier to crack than JEE. It has basic higher secondary school syllabus. To get my course you would have to be around 700th rank. To get other courses in my college you can have rank as low as 20k....Read More
