JAHFAR SADIQUE's Review On NSS College Of Engineering - [NSSCE], Palakkad

I had studied my higher secondary course in a subject combination of Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology(science). Along with the higher secondary course I went for entrance coaching in a coaching centre. I was more interested in mathematics than biology so I focussed on engineering entrance exams. After entrance admission to engineering colleges are based on allotments set by our priority and merit. I opted NSS college of engineering since it is good academics and facilities among the engineering colleges in Kerala and also it is the closer my native district. The college has a nice ambience, qualified faculties, better facilities and very active in academics and co-curricular activities. Also, I opted for the mechanical engineering course since I am an enthusiast in automobile engines and working. Also, our college provides better laboratory facilities in all departments with experienced lab assistants.
