What Students Say

Likes

The college is not strict like private colleges.
There are lot of time for extra activities.
College also has large number of clubs which offers us different varieties of projects and works for extra curricular (SAE, ASME, IEEE,etc)

Dislikes

Syllabus may not finish in time,it's not directly college's problem actually, university is reducing period of each semesters
Nothing more bad about college to say about

Course Curriculum Overview

I was interested in space field, so I had planned to join Aerospace Engineering. But Aerospace Engineering is limited to some colleges like IIT,NIT,VIT... SO I decided to go for mechanical engineering, in which Aerospace Engineering comes, so I can try Aerospace Engineering in Mtech. All are world application level Exams usually come in periods of 5-6 months

Class Size: 69Course Fees: INR 8600 per year

Internships Opportunities

Internship is something which students have to find out themselves like which company to go for internship, what to do, where to look, which field to go, and so on. College does not directly gives or forces students to go on this particular internship, students can choose where to go and what to study

Placement Experience

Placements of our college are good. Those all who don't have any back papers are placed for good jobs with good salary packages(8-15 lakhs per annum). There are also Baja aptitude tests for students participating in MBAJA, EBAJA, HBAJA, competitions conducted by SAE which gives much more high salary packages job(25L per annum)

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution Fees per Year - Rs8600 Fees for four Years - Rs34,400 (Low fees because it's govt college) No other charges Tution Fees for backward classes are also same Exam registration fees may differ by Rs500 for different categories

Campus Life

Overall experience in campus life is best. We have freedom to do many things in college which are restricted in other private colleges (source - from friends in other colleges). There are many clubs in college compared to other colleges like SAE, ASME, IEEE, IEDC, AISA, etc. These clubs provides wide variety of competitions, project opportunities and fun.

Admission

I had rank to join CET(College of Engineering Trivandrum), which is the toppest govt college in Kerala. But I choose Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam which comes third, because it's nearer to my home(15km), as well as it's the best college when it comes to mechanical Engineering and placements To entre my college we have to get atleast 6000 rank in KEAM entrance examination.

Faculty

4.5

All faculties of my department are good. My faculty is Geogekutty sir. He is very good and supportive sir. Not any faculty I dislike There are total of 52 papers including labs to be completed in 4 years Some students take honours and minors as well which increases number of papers to be cleared About 10 papers would be difficult level, rest are medium and easy level About 30-40 students failed to clear all exams

The campus is well maintained and is clean
Teachers are willing to give individual attention if needed
Above average food is provided in canteen

Dislikes

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

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.

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

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.

Navigating MACE: A student's journer Through Campus Life, Academics and Oppurtunities.

I chose this college over other colleges primarily for its autonomous status. This allows MACE to have more current and industry relevent curiculum unlike colleges with fixed university syllabus. Admission to MACE was based on keam rank. Although I had a good rank, it wasnt high enough to get my preferred branch in NIT calicut or CET. Rather than settling for different course at these colleges I chose MACE because of its reputation and specialized curiculum were a better fit for my goals....Read More
