What Students Say

Likes

Campus Life was great. We will able to explore many things in the campus. The over all ambience of the campus is very calm. We will be able to understand the life of an engineers life over there.
The transportation facility is excellent. It is very rare to find a college that is situated at the central part of major town in the Kerala. The college is in the vicinity of Ksrtc stand, private bus stand and, Chengannur railway station. So if one
The technical societies in the campus is very strong that many can utilise it to the fullest to improve their technical skills. It also provides you great opportunity to exhibit your skills for the betterment of the society.

Dislikes

The lab facilities should be improved. The facilities in labs is very complex to be made available to students.
Technical fests in the campus not much strong
Students are not encouraged to achieve higher possible hights.

Course Curriculum Overview

Electronics and Communication was my major and electronics was my passion since childhood and also the electronics industry is booming in India which also inspired me to take up this major. The electronics department at CEC has well-qualified faculties. They adopt digital interactive teaching methods. All series exams and semester exams are conducted timely as per university instructions.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 36000 per year

Placement Experience

The students will be made available for placements from the seventh semester or even from the sixth semester. The main recruiters of the campus are TCS, Soti, Infosys, Wipro, Tata Elxi, Tech Mahindra, IBS, Quest Global, Cognizant, and much more. The highest package was offered by Soti and TCS Digital. The students who get placed are very large.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is as per university norms for students admitted through government seats. There will be NRI seats which will have higher fees. There will be a scholarship for meritorious needy students and all scholarship made available by the government is also applicable in the college.

Campus Life

The campus provides a huge opportunity to exhibit extracurricular as well as technical skills. The campus has a strong base for IEEE, the largest technical society in the world. Students actively participating in IEEE will be able to grab opportunities for internal grants, scholarships, etc. Also, society provides an opportunity to exhibit technical skills. The college also has strong IEDC, Proddec, and other clubs which will provide opportunities for students to improve their technical as well as soft skills. The campus also has a sports club which includes badminton, table tennis, basketball, football, volleyball, chess, carroms, etc. The students take part in University level sports meet every year and bag prizes. Cultural activities are also active on campus. Overall campus will provide you great opportunities if you are willing to explore their life of theirs.

Admission

Admission to all Engineering colleges under the university APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University is through the state engineering entrance exam KEAM. The rank list of KEAM is decided upon the KEAM score and the 12th exam. The details of the entrance exam will be made available in all newspapers and on the official website. The reservation policy like all other exams is applicable for this exam too. And the fee will be considerably low for the students admitted through reservation categories in government and semi-government colleges.

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

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

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

Likes

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.
