I got admission through an entrance exam. IIITM-K is affiliation with CUSAT university which is quite prestigious. They have very unique specialisations which are tailored to the current industry trends.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The course curriculum is set for the needs for the 21st-century fourth industrial revolution, which makes it far better than many other universities. You can't expect professors spoon-feeding for you. Most of the times you will require to do practicals in labs as assignments or projects. Of course, there are certain theoretical subjects to make your life harder too.
Admission:
The best thing I found there is a Cisco Thingqbator (Maker space) where we can build IoT devices and more.Cisco is doing this project with partnershiping with Nasscom and Defy.Li2 conduct lot of workshops under Thingqbator about IoT and machine learning and lot of things.Even they mantor students to build their idea which is submitted under cohort programs hosted by them and provide all fecilities and equipments.This is the only one thing that I kike in this Institute.It is well maintained by Cisco not by our administration.That may be the reason it is well maintained.
Admission:
Positive Remarks: 1) Good placement opportunities 2) Gives plenty of internship opportunities 3) Good faculties 4) Gives updated courses 5) Helps to learn new things Negative Remarks : 1) Faculties uses their juniors to complete portions before exams
Admission:
Overall the college is really very good you can have a quality time there during this two year can explore the places along with your studies.
Admission:
Problem of language for non keralites and food / hostel are a big issue but if you are comfortable then its fine to study there.
Admission:
The institute is small. It has an intake capacity of 100 students per batch thus the atmosphere is not vibrant .Plus it only has one subject t teach, Computer Science thus inter-departmental interactions are impossible.
