What Students Say

Likes

The college has a great crowd, lots of good people and has a lot of extra curricular activities
The faculty are very helpful and strive to make children learn rather than remember things
Placements are good for CS but for other subjects core jobs are less

Dislikes

Too much politics sometimes disrupts classes and we miss a few modules from syllabus
Small campus, no playgrounds other than a basketball ground
There is no official hostel for the college ,you have to opt outside

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is very old, the syllabus hasn't been updated in years and we study things from early 2000s. But the faculty make sure to keep us up to date and help with what's required in the industry.

Class Size: 45Course Fees: INR 80000 per year

Internships Opportunities

There is only 1 internship opportunity given by TATA ELIXSI which give a stipend of 10k per month in the final semester. Other than that there is no internship. We have to submit a project at the end of the course which is to be evaluated by people from outside.

Placement Experience

Placements are alright, not many companies are there for core subjects but for CS there are a lot of companies. Highest package is of 13lpa and AVG is 3.5. i plan to go to Germany to study for my masters after completing my course.

Fees and Financial Aid

Cost of education is very less as it's a government aided institution. And they have a lot of reservations. Campus placements are ok ok you don't get a very high package as the max package is about 13lpa

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is amazing, we have one of the biggest college fests in South India. There are a lot of events which happen every other month so students have a very good academic and enjoyment balance. Sports is less as there is no ground but we have conducted sports events outside of college. Library has old books and you'll have to search a lot to find the right things

Admission

There was an entrance exam KEAM thru which you can get admission. It is based on your keam rank that you get which course and whether u get a govt or management seat. The exam is very competitive but with a bit of hardwork anyone can get into good colleges

Faculty

4.5

There are enough faculties for the amount of students there are. All faculties are approachable and are extremely helpful. Automobile faculty is the best, they are the ones who put our university question paper and we can easily score good as they provide us with important topics.

Likes

College was at a beautiful place. It was not a city but a beautiful place.
Hostel was great. I got many friends from there.
These are the only things that I can think of.

Dislikes

Teachers, they are horrible one one teacher named aparna was professional and ethical. My HOD was the worst.
Principal is the worst. She does not hear students side. She is money minded. I had a fee pending for not more than 2 week. When I went to her for signing my medical report she demanded that she will sign only after I paid that fee
The college does not encourage extra curricular activities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is the worst. Teachers rush through the portions so that they can finish at the earliest. It may be because the university has a unjustifiable timetable. There is very little practicals given. The ones that are given are just for namesake.

Decent infrastructure. hostel infrastructure is also clean and better than most colleges

Dislikes

Very poor campus life. No importance for cultural programmes and activities
Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.
Very low packages for average students. Placement training is regularly being provided, but it is too hectic to be managed along with curriculum.

Placement Experience:

students become eligible for placements after sixth semester. Major companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, e.t.c are recruiters. about 5-10 students are recuited on average by these companies. highest package was offered by south indian bank in 2023 (10 LPA). average packges are around 2 to 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.

An honest college review

I choose this college because it has vibrant campus life and freedom.It also has good placement records,good pass percentage. I also took due to distance advantage.This college also has good faculty, teaching. Although the campus is small, the infrastructure is well maintained. It has well structured labs.I also looked for cet, Trivandrum but I didn't get it because of my keam rank. The exam accepted for the course is keam and most of the students prefer it. Students can also join this college by nri quota without any entrance exam by giving more fees.I got admission in ece in sctce in the keam 1st allotment itself....Read More

A look inside Sct - Campus life, Academics and more

The main reason I chose this college was because this as under the Government of Kerala. It is held jointly by both government and ksrtc. This the standard of teachers will be better than other private colleges and campus life would be better as well. I have gotten confirmed admission from Amritha University and FISAT. I chose Sct because of the above given reason and also because of its location in trivandrum. I had applied to both Cet and Gect but I didn't pass the cutoff. The admission price for SCTCE is through KEAM which is held by the government of Kerala. If you have a valid rank you can apply to any college and can get selected according to the ranklist....Read More
