Rajesh Kumar Sharma's Review On TKM College Of Engineering - [TKMCE], Kollam

Dedicated staff and teachers. Ample space in class rooms. Good lab facilities.

Old time admission was based on the performance in 12th standard class. Yes i was listed in the merit list which helped me to bag the seat through nomination to this college.

It was exhaustive but yes in true sense blend of different engg streams. Being from Mechanical side we learnt electrical wiring. I could not understand local language appropriately, still the technical staff could make me understand all the features. Electives on cryogenics and propulsion Engineering attracted me.

The concept of internship at the college was not common at that time. No scholarships were offered either. Though we had the opportunity to undertake industrial training in near by industries and visits to industries in Kerala. The interaction with alind kundara is still fresh.

The campus placement not much companies used to visit during our times still few of the companies were frequent visitors for recruitment. Lot many fellow batch mates are presently well settled now.

Cultural events were celebrated with great involvement. Same was with regard to sports meet. Though lot many used to participate in the sports meet just for fun but it was encouraged.

The fee was nominal. All the fee was based on the pattern of Kerala university. Though the times have changed much now but at that point of time it was affordable.

I have availed scholarship offered by the government at that time. Loan facility concept has rolled in now. Few of our class fellows were from poor background but could complete the degree with different means.

It is a coeducational institute and all the students were tolerant to each other. Even some students from African countries studies there. They had a separate hostel and mess facility.

Hostel was provided to both male and female students. Barring few dites all the food was fine. We used to enjoy the food specially th breakfast and lunch of sunday,dinner of wednesday and friday.

Good network with alumni i get frequent updates from the alumni association TAGA. They organize alumni meet regularly. We happen to meet in the 25th anniversary last year.

The pattern was semester system after 1st year. The labs were engaged without any fail. The teachers and the examiners were strict and never gave any room for foul play. The lad on electrical machines was considered to be one of the toughest.

Devoted and dedicated hope that standard continues. The mistakes were pointed and we were made to work hard. I remember that the laboratory classes were taken by three teachers and all the students were monitored appropriately.
