Feel the Education in mist

Should complete higher secondary education (12th) and pass KEAM (Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination) with good rank. Application forms can be filled out online from admissions.dtekerala.gov.in website. Fees I don't remember exactly. I think almost 1000 Rs and 500 for SC/ST candidates. Application dates will be usually from June to July. A few seats will be reserved for OBS and SC/ST candidates. For SC/ST fees also will be less. The admission process is good as it is occurring via online and is based on allotments. Still need improvement because, in some colleges, after all allotments are done, a few seats will be left. Then conducting spot admission.

My course was BTech in Computer Science & Engineering. I know we have many opportunities in this field. So selected CSE. For each branch and classes, enough faculties are available. A few professors will be guests. May change yearly. 1:60 is the faculty ratio I understood. Faculties who are teaching us are highly qualified professors. Even assistant (guest) professors are also good, qualified teachers. The teaching method is also good. A few teachers were teaching by spoon-feeding. Others will give important lectures and students have to research and study.

From semester 6 or 7, students can attend campus placements. When I was in last year, we had campus placements of Infosys, Wipro, TCS, 6D, QBurst, UST Global etc... In total 65 students were placed from the entire batch of 2012-16 students. The highest package provided was 4,50000 CTC. Average packages were 2,50000 CTC. 20-25 % of students were placed in that year. The important thing was, campus placement in our college started in my last year of study only. My plan was to get a job only. I got placed in Infosys.

When I was studying fees was 6000 per semester + hostel fees if we are hostellers. Transportation facilities were available from hostels for 750 Rs. per semester only. Only 150 Rs. hike in between for transportation I felt during the course. No other hikes in course fees when I was studying there. All the government providing MCMA/MOMA, eGrantz etc.. scholarship facilities were there. The college will provide assistance for applying to those if needed. The college will provide job assistance via campus placement. No fees or stipend for that. But they prefer some amount if we placed in campus recruitment. Not a compulsory one. If we are ready to give, we can.

The annual fest was named Advaya and Tech Fest has the same name Techfest. Usually, those are conducted in January month. Most of the books for our course are available in the library. But, we should take it earlier as the count of books is almost 1/3rd of the student count. Journals are also there. Classroom amenities are good. The projector and board are there in all classrooms. The separate assigned teacher is there for physical education. But we will get support for playing only. Others/expenses we have to take care of by ourselves except for a few sports items (bat ball etc.. once a year). Once I had particip[ated in an intercollegiate Yoga competition. At that time we got all financial and physical (training) support from the college/government. We had one social group for free software/Linux named FOSS CELL GECI conducted by students with the help of faculties.

Cots and wardrobes are provided in the hostel. The bed we have to bring ourselves. Meals we had weekly twice non-veg. Overall food quality was good. Government hostel facility is only limited number. Almost 30% of BTech students only can accommodate. Others have to stay in private hostels. College-approved private hostels are there. Enough to accommodate all others.
