Remarks

Positive Alumni network great Entrepreneurship and edc cell is nice. Some teachers are willing to help Good central library Negative Poor infrastructure. Old lab facilities. Classroom sucks. Lack quality of teachers.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

Course curriculum isn't that great. Also being the first batch of a.p.j Abdul Kalam technological University the exam structure was poor. It's is slowly getting better. Course curriculum contains everything in a first look, but we experience it then we feel it lacks practical knowledge, serious IV and internships

Placement Experience

Placements are just okay. The majority is just software. If you are looking for a product based or core companies, then it is hard. Some are coming here and taking a few people and some are not even coming.

College Events

We hardly had a tech fest. The principal of our time wasn't cooperation and also our university does include these in the curriculum. They are not productive at all. Their all plans are like fiction movies.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee need pay to university is around 9000 a year. Pta fund of 10000 need to be paid at the beginning.1000+ exam fee per sem. Hostel and mess 4000 per month.these are the amounts for hosteler. ( This is my case)

Fees and Financial Aid

College doesn't provide any loans. One could get a scholarship based on their entrance rank, caste reservations, and financial status. Based on entrance rank there I'll be a reduction in the fees paying to university. And others are purely based on caste and income.

Campus Life

1.5

I would say Within the limitations, sports are going well. We got an enthusiastic p.T sir who really helps the students to get through. Labs are there, but being an old college and less responsive management things are not getting updated.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

It's 3.8/5. It's okay being a state govt. aided college. You can't expect an iit facility here. Also college hostel can't accommodate the total number of students of the college. So half or more need to stay outside hostel.

External Expense: Rs.7000 - Rs.10000

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network is doing great. They keep the connection with the college and donated various buildings and types of equipment. Senior students are helpful.people and network of seniors are good. They help us at various platforms.

Faculty

Being govt. Aided college most of the faculties are below average. The y lack concept. Yet there are quite number of teachers who are good and got PhD. The problem I see here is management is hiring just m- tech paasouts who can pay them well

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

The teachers here are very friendly and very helpful
The climate here is also very peacefull and very good atmosphere to study
The students here are from everywhere so there is a big diversity in the culture

Dislikes

There is a lack of public transportation system like railway station here
There are lots of insects and others things here which is very disturbing during summer season
The main problem the students here are going through is the bad quality of hostel food that we get here

Placement Experience:

Our college is a NAAC accredited college and lots of companies come here to recruit our students . Last year one of a students who studied here got a really big placement of 48 lakhs per annum and there is a placement cell available here in the campus which tries to get all the students placement like these !!

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

Doubt on admission?? Read this

I had applied for top colleges in Kerala for Engineering studies. I got admitted to NSSCE. I'm so glad that I'm a student of NSSCE. Admission to NSS College of Engineering. Mainly through KEAM Entrance examination conducted by the government of Kerala: General Quota, Reservation Quota are through KEAM Entrance examination of that year. You should have good marks in PCM subjects in the 12th standard. You should perform well in the KEAM Entrance examination of that year. Try solving Objective questions as many as possible. You definitely have to work hard to get admission to premium colleges like NSSCE. Management Quota admission: Should have good marks in 12th standard. Should quality KEAM Entrance examination of that year. Should have a good academic performance history. Admission to NSSCE is highly competitive. Since NSSCE is one of the colleges with a very high placement rate. Big MNC's like TCS, INFOSYS, WIPRO, CTC, ALSTOM, EY etc are always major players in the NSSCE placement drive....Read More

JAHFAR SADIQUE's Review On NSS College of Engineering - [NSSCE], Palakkad

I had studied my higher secondary course in a subject combination of Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology(science). Along with the higher secondary course I went for entrance coaching in a coaching centre. I was more interested in mathematics than biology so I focussed on engineering entrance exams. After entrance admission to engineering colleges are based on allotments set by our priority and merit. I opted NSS college of engineering since it is good academics and facilities among the engineering colleges in Kerala and also it is the closer my native district. The college has a nice ambience, qualified faculties, better facilities and very active in academics and co-curricular activities. Also, I opted for the mechanical engineering course since I am an enthusiast in automobile engines and working. Also, our college provides better laboratory facilities in all departments with experienced lab assistants....Read More
