Digital University Kerala Thiruvananthapuram Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Curriculum is in align with current industry standards, they update curriculum more frequently than other universities teaching relevant skills for on going job market . Final semester focus on skill development.

The carriculam here ie credit based 80 credit is required to pass the degree and you can get up to 90 maximum . Here the grading is relative and the syllabus is more focused on experiential learning than conventional way

From the second semester, students become eligible for campus placements. TCS, CHUB, H&R, U.S.T, FEDERAL BANK, OSPION, CLOUDEX, CLEAREYE,...There were many offers made by these companies. Mainly they offer intership cum placements.

Placement opportunities are not much available from college. MTech students will start getting opportunity from 2nd semester & MSc students in 3th sem. Around 8-9 companies visit. Highest package was 8 LPA for last year, average was 4 LPA, only 30-40 % of students are getting on-campus.

From the beginning of 3rd-semester placements begin to happen. companies come in for specialist as well as general IT jobs. None can guarantee that you will be placed at the end of your course. If you really put in the effort you will get ample opportunities to showcase your talent.

The best remark I could make here is that the college gives you the freedom to work and push your ideas. The facilities like Cisco Thingqbator, Kerala Startup Mission and Fablab can take you to another level. The bad remark is that the institute's own premises are less and offer no hostels. But from 2020 onward the entire IIITMK is moving to the new international campus (in Technocity, 7km away from current location) having hostel facilities for all.

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.

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

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.

Problem of language for non keralites and food / hostel are a big issue but if you are comfortable then its fine to study there.
