What Students Say

Likes

Infrastructure , the college infrastructure is very good and tge classroom and labs have sufficient amenities.
College canteen, the canteen well hygenic with affordable quality food
Social interactions and campus life was almost good

Dislikes

Hostel food was utter flop due to poor quality and cleanliness
Teaching methods of some faculties were complex
Lack of cultural events and programs, even though organised they will be in poor manner

Course Curriculum Overview

Civil Engineering discipline was choosen by me because of it's real life practical importance,the curriculum based on KTU prepares us for real world applications almost 70% ,updation in syllabus should be done to achieve further.

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements are quite good our college, in our batch almost 70% of students got placed in various reputed institutions this varies from year to year based on the trends ,however college provides placement in core and non core companies over the country.

Fees and Financial Aid

The yearly tution fees paid according to 2020 fees range was 100000 , in addition to this the charges of caution deposit examination fee varies.There is concession for SC/ST candidates.I was having a scholarship based on my KEAM score but some of my friends without any scholarship was having a tution fee of 47000 per semester.

Campus Life

Overall experience of campus life is an average ,ASTHRA the technical fest ,SARGAM arts fest are conducted annually in college however this was not an active program from the side of management.The library has a wide range of books and journals for reference.The sports and extra curicular activities offered on campus is poor.

Hostel Facilities

I stayed in college hostel for 4 years of my academics ,the infrastructure and hostel amenities were good.The food quality was very poor.The affordability of hostel was moderate and the registration process was simple.

Hostel Fee: INR 60000 per year

Admission

I choose the college because it provided affordable fees range with a decent proffesional course and quality education, i choose SJCET over other colleges due to it's reputation.The eligibility criteria was KEAM and 12 th standard marks.

Faculty

The faculty member were well qualified in our department , they hold M Tech from reputed organizations and most of them are having a Phd ,the best faculties include Jose James ,Jenson Jose due to thier teaching method as well as ineraction and patience with the students.The difficulty level of internal examinations are moderate to hard.

Night Life

Actually there is no night life in campus, maybe once in a year there will be IEDC Summit this was the only program held in night.Hostel timings for girls was 6pm and this does not apply to boys was a bad scenario.

Likes

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

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.

A Deep dive into: "St Joseph's College of engineering"

The admission process was very good and fast. To get an admission first give a call to the college and office staff will pick up the call and ask about the seat availablity for the course you are looking for then after confirming the seat is available go to the college just getting to the entrance of the college the PRO officer will come up and ask your reason for arrival and they will take care you and they will take you to officials and after clearing some paperwork your admission process is completed....Read More
