Entrance Preview

KEAM is the entrance exam for B.Tech admission in RIT, as any other engineering college in Kerala. You have to score good enough to get into RIT as it is highly ranked among the colleges in Kerala now.

Course Curriculum Overview

Currently the course curriculum is decided by the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Kerala. It is good but not that updated with the recent technologies. Still you will get the basic understanding of Engineering and rest you have to acquire by your own.

Internships Opportunities

There is an option of internship and I think in the new curriculum it is made compulsory. Most of the time, you will have to pay for the industrial training; but if you are really good, you can find some good companies which provide you stipend.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placement opportunities are really good in RIT; compared to other colleges in Kerala. Students are getting hired in IT companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Qburst, UST global, IBS etc. Also core placements for ECE, EEE, Mechanical streams can be expected. Training and Placement Cell is doing well in the recent years so that all interested students can get placement training and most of the eligible students are getting placed.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is still the cheapest for an engineering course in Kerala. Tuition fee is 6200 for an year and being a govt. institution it have all the benefits and options of scholarship for eligible students. Other fee waiver schemes based on govt. norms are also followed by the institution. So it is very much feasible.

Fees and Financial Aid

There are no specific loans/scholarships provided by the college. There are some awards for best outgoing students and toppers given in the annual PTA meeting. But you can always apply for any govt. scholarships and all procedures and supports from the college will be provided for that. Education loans are being availed by many students in the college, but I don't have any personal experience.

Campus Life

Being a government college, students can enjoy the maximum freedom. As an alumnus, I can assure you that you can enjoy the life in the campus. Our campus is active every day and lot of extra curricular activities are being conducted. KELI-the annual arts fest, NRITYA- an inter college dance fest, Yavanika- film show and our own RITU- the techno managerial fest are among my golden memories about the college life.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facility provided by the college is limited. Admission to the college hostels are based on distance cum merit based formula from applicants. Hostel rooms are shared and LAN connectivity is provided. There are two girls hostels and a boys hostel. There are many PGs and hostels near the campus at an affordable rate. Even though, the subsidies available for the college hostel make it the best option for stay.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Exam Structure

Now it is decided by the university and the schedule is up to them. Untill unless you have to appear for a back paper, you will never have two exams on the same day or adjacent days. You will be aware of the recent issues related to KTU exams. But it is not the case only for our college, so you have little to do about it.

Admission

Admission procedure is well explained in the CEE Kerala website. You have to appear for the entrance exam conducted by them. If you are targetting B.Tech. admission, take science strem in plus two and score good marks. More details you can find in the website cee-kerala.org

Faculty

We had really good faculties in the college and still most of them are continuing. RIT is a govt. college and the permanent faculty posts are filled via PSC exam. So you can always expect good and experienced faculties at RIT. Contract posts are filled via Interviews and most of the time they are also up to the level.

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

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.
