What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is pretty big and we had WiFi connectivity in most places.
- The campus is overall pretty clean and the non teaching faculty are usually chill.
- Opportunities to get places are more than decent for the computer science course.
Dislikes
- There’s an unwanted annoying sense of authority among some of the teachers. They’re pretty average at what they do but still feel the need to show who’s in charge.
- The quality of teaching isn’t great. Most teachers are pretty average, they’re very much willing to help but they’re just super average at what they do. Most don’t even speak proper English.
Course Curriculum Overview
This college followed a general KTU curriculum while I was a student there. It was pretty outdated but so was the case for most engineering colleges in Kerala. You get the basics but real-world applications are for you to learn. The frequency of examinations is okay I'd say. There are two internal exams every semester and that's about it.
Placement Experience
The placements are more than decent as you get many opportunities to land a job before graduation. Provided you don't have backpapers which most companies wouldn't want in their candidates. Service-based companies such as TCS and Accenture take loads of students per year and pretty high-end companies visit too.
Fees and Financial Aid
I got admission via a reservation so the scholarships weren't available for me. But I've known many friends who were able to avail great scholarship schemes. The average exam and semester registration cost would amount to roughly Rs 5000 per semester. There's an additional WiFi and arts and sports fee they collect even if we don't want the facilities.
Campus Life
There are two major campus activities every year namely Takshak (a tech fest) and Sanskriti (an art fest) in which most of the college (faculties and students) work together to make it happen very well. There are many clubs like fashion clubs, music clubs, dance clubs, film societies, etc. as well.
Admission
I got in via a management reservation seat. In my case, I just had to get minimum marks for the KEAM entrance exam. For general quota, you need to gain a rank as high as 1000-1200 to get admission to computer science.
Faculty
There's a teaching faculty for every 26 or so students which is a pretty healthy ratio. The faculty are generally very approachable but the quality of teaching is very much average. They're willing to help you out but the quality just isn't there. Some faculty have ego issues and take it out on students, some exploit students to get their work (on journal papers) done by them. These are pretty rare cases but I have heard of these and experienced them first hand too. But most faculty are generally very approachable.
