Remarks

Well its all good. It has made me the person who i am thanks to my college base i could do all that.

Entrance Preview

I took Kerala CEE an annual objective type examination conducted every year i scored somewhere aroung 300 points and got a rank of 4k. I opeted this college as it was the best IT college in kerala.

Course Curriculum Overview

IT with subjects such as Robotic and alI have been a keen interest holder of Information technology. My college gave some exceptional courses like AI and CO which helped me learn the roots of network computing and Computing ingeneral.

Internships Opportunities

There wasnt a intership as such. There wasnt any stipend but the college fees was really low as it was a govt run college and a class in itself. I really liked the college experience a lot.

Placement Experience

GECB gave me my first job Computer Sciences corp a 30 billion dolar organization and i was hired a network Admin .THe offer was 3.20 L and considered very good back then in 2008. I owe a lot to my college for this. Now i woirk with Accenture and have nearly 5 times what i used to get there in CSC thanks toi my college.

College Events

Events were a rag ein our days. We had college arts event,annual inter college Inmtra college names Aagneya. Its a very popular event in south kerala where we explore the hidden talent in young minds. Many other techie events also happen which help the techie guys to nuture their skills.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Very cheap as i mentioned previosuly the college fees was really low as it was a govt run college and a class in itself. I really liked the college experience a lot.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes all famous and reputed banks offer loans nothing to worry and almost al lof them gets placved its been a superb 4 years of my life must say.

Campus Life

4.5

Exception the course viva my first presentation its been all very good i have been a very popular presenter in my college and i know the background the GECB gave me was exceptional.

Hostel Facilities

I stayed in a private hostel .The food was very good as we used to cook together loved ever second in teh hostel .TH efacilities were top notch and we had free wifi back then in 2005 . It was a class apart.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Exam Structure

Exams are very hectic as is the case with all the B.Tech colleges or universities Very tight schedule and some time exams overrun causing the next semester to shorten but thats how it is it helps us to cope with pressure and make a pressure for future.

Faculty

4.5

Exceptional faculty,very detailsed knowledge of the fewer known subjects back then. They gave some really strong foundation and it was really nice to be working under the guidancce of some really esteemed professors.

College was at a beautiful place. It was not a city but a beautiful place.
Hostel was great. I got many friends from there.
These are the only things that I can think of.

Dislikes

Teachers, they are horrible one one teacher named aparna was professional and ethical. My HOD was the worst.
Principal is the worst. She does not hear students side. She is money minded. I had a fee pending for not more than 2 week. When I went to her for signing my medical report she demanded that she will sign only after I paid that fee
The college does not encourage extra curricular activities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is the worst. Teachers rush through the portions so that they can finish at the earliest. It may be because the university has a unjustifiable timetable. There is very little practicals given. The ones that are given are just for namesake.

Decent infrastructure. hostel infrastructure is also clean and better than most colleges

Dislikes

Very poor campus life. No importance for cultural programmes and activities
Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.
Very low packages for average students. Placement training is regularly being provided, but it is too hectic to be managed along with curriculum.

Placement Experience:

students become eligible for placements after sixth semester. Major companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, e.t.c are recruiters. about 5-10 students are recuited on average by these companies. highest package was offered by south indian bank in 2023 (10 LPA). average packges are around 2 to 3 LPA.

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

Review of TOC H institute of science and technology

Likes

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA

Likes

When it comes to the campus life, I enjoyed all the 4 years
The infrastructure was okayish Could've improved.
The faculty was really friendly and I was able to approach them without any hesitation.

Dislikes

The road from the junction to the college is not at all maintained. Students coming up the hill find it very difficult to reach college
The bus fees are increased every year. But these people can't find a way to provide seats for the students after paying their bus fee.
Some other campus offer many varieties of food in their canteen. This has to be done here too

Placement Experience:

The students usually start appearing for campus placements in their 6th semester. The training for the campus placements is started for all the students from the 4th semester. Many companies visited for campus placements. But one main problem is that most of them were low packages. Around 4LPA. Some were between 4-6 and a very few between 6-10. Most of them got placed in our batch in some company.

G.E.C. PALAMU : A. Brief Overview .

Actually I applied in Chandigarh University , KIIT , SRM, and Quantum University . I even. Done the formalities of Quantum University but when the result of JCECEB COUNSELING came I took decision to take admission in this college as for now I think my decision is good . This college first of all government aided which provides a way better option than other private colleges which I opted for . Also this college might not compare with the other private colleges which I mentioned in so called renowned facilities but still we can get all basic facilities here . And all the above the fees here is very much affordable as compared to all the colleges which I mentioned in my list . Means all your engineering course will be completed in about 5 lakhs . which is very much less as compared to even NIT and IIT. For admission you have to give either jee mains or you can give JCECEB exam but you have to sit in JCECEB COUNSELING to get this college .all information you will get from the youtube about the councelling...Read More
