What Students Say

Likes

Infrastructure our college is providing is top notch, you wont be getting that infrastructure even in IITs or NITs.
So much free time will be there( no academic work load ) this helps us to pursue our interests.and leaves on saturday and sunday and almost friday sometimes so you can explore things and lso go on trips sometimes
beautiful campus. also crowd in the college is less compared with other colleges so you can peacefully sit and enjoy the campus beauty also as college is situated in kerala you can explore so many beautiful places which are just an hour or 2 from clg

Dislikes

placements are worst. litrally for our batch from 2021 to 2025 batch almost 70 percent students are unplaced
strict timings. after 9 30 students cant roam even inside the campus. they'll be locked inside hostels
minimum of 80 percent attendance is required. no medical certificates will be allowed

Course Curriculum Overview

course circullum is same as IIIT hyderabad circullum. so I would rate it 3 out of 5. but there is so much theoritical subject rather than practical knowledge. There are labs for almost all subjects but the faculty is honestly not serious about those labs. so almost knowledge you must get is from what you explore in your free time.

Class Size: 150Course Fees: INR 1500000 per year

Placement Experience

worst placements that anyone can expect. Honestly there are only 15 companies which came and those companies hired 1 or 2. just imagine the situation of other students who payed 15 lakhs just to get placement.

Fees and Financial Aid

I feel my college is little expensive because usually all b tech insititutes has feel around 70k to 80k for semester but our college has almost 1 lakh 70 k per semester which makes it really expensive and I think this is because of awesome infrastructure they are providing. but honestly what i feel is it is too much. sem wise you need to pay fee. that is around 1 lakh 60 thousand to 1 lakh 70 k depending on which sem you are.

Campus Life

so many clubs are there which are actively growing. and campus life is okayish nightlife: Strict rules will be there and so many discipline commites so I would say it is really difficult to roam outside after 9 30pm

Admission

The only reason I choosed this college is because of it placements but now they are worst for my batch almost 70 percent people are unplaced. and i choosed this college because i wanted cse and either i could get lower branches in top colleges or top branchs in low colleges. so i preffered choosing cse. i applied for NIT Suratkal, NIT Warangal mechanical BUt i felt CSE Would be much better so i end up landing here. the other reason why i preferad my college is because of its beautiful campus. yes i got rejected from nit surathkal cse because my jee rank was low

Faculty

8:1 faculty ratio. almost all faculty members are phd holders.knowledge wise they are the best. The course is of 4 years ( 8 sems) previously each sem is of 2 mid semester exams and 1 end semester exam and 1 final lab exam but now it is been changed to 1 mid exam and 1 end exam and 1 final lab exam. where in end exam or mid exam there would be around 4 to 8 subjects depending on which sem you are studying. Honest opinion: Studying a day before the exam would get you 8.5 gpa plus thats what i was saying no study pressure.

Night Life

nightlife is nill. strict rules will be there no student be outside of hostel after 9 30 pm. gym will be there which functions only 4 hours a day ( mrg 2 hours and evg 2hrs) which is crowed all the time. inside - campus is just beautiful outside- just so many like munnar, vagamon, varkala, trivandrum

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.

I cleared JEE MAINS and on the basis of my rank, I applied for many colleges. I was specifically looking for the top two engineering branches that is Computer Science and Electronics and Communication Engineering and have applied for many but could not get into it due to higher rank category. Earlier I got Civil Engineering in NIT SILCHAR then I got Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIIT KOTTAYAM. I preferred IIIT KOTTAYAM over NIT SILCHAR because of the branch since Electronics and Communication Engineering is considered the second best branch after Computer Science Engineering. Yes, I got rejection from other colleges because the eligibility criteria for those colleges were securing high rank but my rank was not up to the mark. To get into such colleges , students need to clear Jee Mains and secure a good rank to get into such colleges. For general category , students need to get the rank under 30000 to get admission to such colleges. Colleges are listed via Josaa Counselling. Admission procedure is the student need to bring some of the important documents such as 10th and 12th board marksheet , category paper , jee rank and other such important documents to get into the admission procedure. The process starts in the academic section....Read More
