What Students Say

Likes

Infrastructure is good, all facilities are well planned and the institution has the ability to arrange and place all kind of programs
The people you find here can be really useful for you and the teacher are helpful.

Dislikes

The porgrams conducted are not upto the expectation of students.
The campus was smaller compared to my expectations.

Course Curriculum Overview

In the first year, you completely learn about the basics of all types of engineering. Including Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, Electrical Engineering and C programming. After that u get into your core subjects. The curriculum also helps you to improve ur speaking skills.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 10000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

The college offer multiple internships. Internships available are notified to students using different whatsapp groups and they could be free or paid. The seniors are really helpful and helps us to avail the best of opportunities.

Placement Experience

The tech departments like Computer Science, IT and EC usually avail higher placement opportunities comparing to other branches. Since there is an option for choosing minor or honour degrees along with our courses, the opportunity for job seeking is usually higher

Fees and Financial Aid

The employment opportunity here(Gec Palakkad) for certain courses are really high. The Information Technology branch gets more than 70-80% Placements along with CSE Dept. The fees is really less as it is a government organization. Nearly 15000 a year. The assistance for scholarship is too good, as certain camps are set up which helps us to apply for Scholarships

Campus Life

There are a lot of clubs available in our campus. The annual tech fest is called INVENTO. Libraries are available for every dept. And the institution is filled with high tech infrastructures including many computer labs. The campus is not congested at all. The programs this year was a bit too lame. But last year, it was comparatively better. Sports is highly focussed on and our KHO-KHO and handball teams are making huge success in all of their matches

Hostel Facilities

The Hostel is average. And it compares to the hostels of all other govt. Colleges. But a lot of private hostels are available which provide sufficient facilities. Food is good. The hostel is located 300m away from the institution

Hostel Fee: INR 5200 per year

Admission

The admission process was rather easy. You write your KEAM exam and based on your rank and the cutoff, you get the course you are eligible for. My rank was 11995 and I got a place in GEC Palakkad for the course of Information Technology with EZ category reservation. We get the application from the college website and all the other documents to be brought with it.

Lack of campus life as college is strict
Majority of the staff members are the type to hold a grudge against you
Spoon feeding students and not allowing them to think and improvise accordingly

Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.

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

TIST , Great college , fun events and more

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.
