I am an electronics and communications student, our branch conducts an internship every year on Assistive technology, which includes field experiences. At the end of the internship, students are supposed to submit a project and present it, making the internship very valuable. The internship is less expensive than 100-200 Rs, but it's really worth it. Students are doing internships by applying via LinkedIn also, and most are unpaid.

Students are eligible to appear for placements from their final year, ie sem 7. Most students are placed in IT companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Cognizant, which they get through giving all India level tests. Core companies for non-IT departments are fewer. For the electronics and communication branch, a Trivandrum technopark-based company Vinvish has taken many students with 28000 per month salary. The average salary of students placed in the college is 360000 per annum. Many students got multiple offers also. The average placement percentage is 60-70% and most of the company has no I've backlog criteria, making placements lesser.

Mar Baselios College is known to take very high fees. They have taken 10000 Rs extra each year even though the CEE has prescribed only to take 75000. They will deduct money from your caution deposit for bringing placement teams to college which is not justified. Even during the covid times, the college hasn't reduced fees, as the online classes were not worth it. Even for placement training students have to put their own money, though they are taking 10000 extra as special fees for this.
