Amal Jyothi College of Engineering Kanjirappally: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 1 Reviews

The AI and Data Science course at AJCE College, Kottayam, features a highly experienced faculty and a student gender ratio of approximately 3:2, favoring boys. The course is structured with exams at the end of each semester, and although some students do not pass, this is usually due to insufficient study rather than teaching quality. Placements occur mainly in the final two semesters, with challenges in attracting companies due to a limited number of students achieving a CGPA of 8.5 and above.

In response, the college plans to highlight student projects to increase company interest, starting this year. The college also hosts Kerala's first Technology Business Incubator (TBI), offering students paid internship opportunities both within and outside the incubator. The annual fee for the course is 100,500 rupees, with an initial payment of around 1,28,000 rupees at admission, covering various costs including tuition and lab fees. This fee structure is uniform for all students except Catholics, for whom specific fee details are not mentioned.

It encompasses all necessary charges, including tuition fees, caution fees, registration fees, admission fees, development fees, and lab fees.
