MY COUNT ON COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING THALASSERY

THE COLLEGE MANAGEMENT IS REALLY DOING AM EXCELLENT JOB, THEY help THE STUDENTS TO FIND OUT THE RIGHT SCHOLARSHIP AND AND ARRANGE LOT'S OF PROGRAMS HELPFUL FOR THE STUDENTS LIKE WORKSHOPS FOR DIFFERENT BRANCHES, etc.

THE CURRICULUM IS DIFFERENT SINCE MINE WAS THE FIRST BATCH OF A NEW UNIVERSITY CALLED KTU. THE CURRICULUM WAS DEFINITELY INDUSTRY ORIENTED AND EXPOSED. I HAVE DONE AROUND THREE INTERNSHIPS IN BHEL, KSRTC AND RUBCO HUAT. THE BIG PROBLEM WITH MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IS THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET A CORE JOB AND FOR THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO REALLY STRUGGLE TO CRACK THE ENTRANCE EXAMS LIKE GATE, ISRO ICRB, SSC JE, etc.

ACTUALLY THERE IS NO PLACEMENT FOR CORE MECHANICAL JOBS ANYWHERE IN KERALA. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT IS THROUGH TOUGH ENTRANCE EXAMS. THERE ARE A LOT OF IT COMPANIES LIKE INFOSYS, TCS, WIPRO, etc. THE COLLEGE PROVIDES PLACEMENT ORIENTED CLASSES FOR ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE CLEARED ALL SUBJECTS TILL S6. RECRUITMENT DRIVE INCLUDES MAINLY AN INITIAL SCREENING EXAM AND THEN INTERVIEW WITH GD. I THINK A GOOD PERCENTAGE GETS PLACED IN IT COMPANIES. ANY BRANCH CAN ATTEND THE CAMPUS PLACEMENT DRIVE, BUT MECHANICAL STUDENTS MERELY ATTEND BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN IT JOBS, THEY NEED CORE JOBS. 30%MAYBE I AM NOT SURE WILL GET PLACED.

THERE A LOT OF INTERESTING EVENTS LIKE TECH FEST YEARLY OR WITHIN TWO YEARS, THEN ARTS COMPETITION YEARLY, SPORTS MEET YEARLY, BRANCH WISE NATIONAL LEVEL PAPER PRESENTATION EVENT WITHIN FOUR YEARS POWERED BY TEQIP FUND. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER INTERESTING CULTURAL PROGRAMS LIKE COLLEGE DAY YEARLY, UNION DAY YEARLY, VALENTINE'S DAY CELEBRATION, etc.

THE FEE STRUCTURE IS REALLY FEASIBLE. THERE ARE LOT OF SCHOLARSHIP SCHEMES BY THE GOVT OF KERALA FOR MINORITIES AND OBC NCL STUDENTS. I USED TO GET 13,500RS PER YEAR AS E-GRACE OBC SCHOLARSHIP. THE COLLEGE FEE STRUCTURE IS 100% TRANSPARENT AS THE ADMISSIONS ARE THROUGH GOVT KEAM PORTAL AND HAS NORMS. IF YOU WANT BUS FACILITY THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL FEES DEPENDING ON YOUR TOWN.

IF YOU GOT ADMISSION THROUGH MERIT SEAT AND IF YOUR INCOME IS BELOW 1LAKH PER ANNUM, THEN YOU WILL GET E-GRACE OBC NCL SCHOLARSHIP. FOR MINORITIES THERE ARE GOOD SCHOLARSHIPS. FOR TOP FIRST RANK AMONG ALL, THERE'S A SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP LIKE JUST 1000RS YEARLY. SAY IF YOU HAVE A 5000 RANK IN KEAM AND YOU STILL CAME TO JOIN THIS COLLEGE AVOIDING OTHER TOP COLLEGES, THEN YOU WILL GET THAT PRIVILEGED SCHOLARSHIP. FOR OBC, E-, GRACE SCHOLARSHIP WAS AROUND 13,500RS PER YEAR.

TRUST ME, THE CAMPUS LIFE WAS REALLY AMAZING AND A THING TO CHERISH AND THINK ABOUT ALWAYS.THERE'S GOOD GENDER RATIO, IT DEPENDS UPON THE BRANCHES LIKE IN MECHANICAL YOU KNOW THERE are ONLY BOYS, IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE BRANCHES, THERE IS 1:3, BOY: GIRL GENDER RATIO. THERE'S ONLY ONE PARTY CALLED THE SFI AND I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT THERE IS ZERO RAGGING.

THE ALUMNI NETWORK IS REALLY GOOD AND THEY USED TO CONDUCT ANNUAL MEET UP. THEY WILL PROVIDE A LOT OF FUND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER STUFF. NOW THIS COLLEGE IS NBA ACCREDITED FOR THREE YEARS ON MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BRANCHES.

I AM REALLY GOOD IN MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS AND THAT'S WHY I OPTED FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS COLLEGE IS THAT IT'S NEARBY MY HOME JUST 12 KMS AND THIS COLLEGE WAS REALLY GOOD AS THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY RANK HOLDERS IN CUSAT UNIVERSITY. ADMISSIONS FOR BTECH IN KERALA IS THROUGH KEAM ENTRANCE EXAM, I GOT A RANK OF 8000 WHICH HELPED ME GET INTO THIS COLLEGE VIA MERIT SEAT.

THE FACULTIES WERE REALLY GOOD AND THEY PROVIDED US WITH THE BEST. THEY ARE HIGHLY QUALIFIED TUTORS FROM IIT'S AND NIT'S. MOST OF THE TUTORS HAVE 5-10YEARS+ EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING. THEY HAVE HELPED US EXPLORE MORE WITH PROJECTS AND JOURNAL PAPERS. I DID REALLY ENJOYED MY ENGINEERING AT THIS COLLEGE.
