Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course is interesting at the same time it's tiring. It does not offer alot of free time to the students which might lead upto backing out. But if you a veeative thinker and can sit hours and hours on your work, it's perfect for you. The College is based on KTU rules, which at strict with attendance and marks.

Placement Experience

I am not sure about the job placements of my College as am only in 3 rd year. Yes, we have an internship for a period of 6months. We can migrate to anywhere for intership. College also provides intership facilities.

College Events

There different events celebrated in my College Onam Ethnic day Kerala piravi Diwali Christmas( maybe) Ifthar And the last one is our main event - 600 ( as we are in total 600 of us at a time in the College)

Fee Structure And Facilities

It differs accordung to which category you belong to. Management seat or merit seat and the caste you belong are the two main things which decide the fee. Merit seat (sc / st) -Rs 8000/- Merit seat - other religion - Rs 100000/- All values are an approx.

Campus Life

4.5

The extracurricular activities are actually lacking in our College. But once it begins with an artsfest it goes on. We get permissions rarely. Sports activities are very activity for football. We have football team for both boys and girls.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The hostel infrastructure is satisfying. They provide the best food as possible. Keeps the hostel clean always. The toilets are fine but there are many defects to the appliances. We are provided with gym equipments. Calm and quite atmosphere.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni are not very well connected. Not many programs are cinducted for them. Outsiders are not allowed to atttend any function in the College. I

Admission

I had only obe ambition, to be an Architect. I got many references to this College. I tried to get a management seat. The College conducted an interview and for which we were to submit our portfolio of any previous works done. Later I got converted to merit seat.

Faculty

We have got an absolutely talented teachers. Most of them are certified architects and their are some civil engineers too. Some of them work on their own.

College review

Remarks:

The College and College hostel won't let them use phones. Even though phones are allowed in hostels as per government rule. The College is a little strict and still treats us like school students. But the College is free in some terms but controlled a lot.

The experience of a student who wished to live in college.

Remarks:

My college is not so good to live a life in college. It is okay just for study and not for any extra curricular activities so i dont actually prefer my college for a creative student who wants to explore.
