Remarks

One of the most reputed colleges in Kerala. It is a government aided college, therefore low college fees. Good results in architecture department. Got in through KEAM exam( which also considered NATA score). Quite notable list of alumni. Great campus life.

Course Curriculum Overview

All the faculties are well qualified (most of them IIT graduates). But the curriculum is a outdated. Should make more changes that would increase exposure of students in the architecture world(for eg, could increase the duration of internship period, because experience is the best way to learn)

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 8000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

We have to attend a 6 month internship as part of our course. The college has no role in this. One has to make a portfolio of our own and apply to different firms. During intership you'll work in various projects( residence, apartments, restaurant ; whatever the firm is working on at that time).

Placement Experience

0.5

There are no campus placements for architecture students. You have to apply to architecture firms and you will be hired based on your portfolio. Starting salary can vary from 8000 to 12000 rupess in Kerala. I am planning to work after course.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee is very reasonable, just 8000rupees per annum. Additional fee is paid for University exams. Scholarship is given for students who constantly acquire good marks in academics. Various other scholarships are also available. There are no campus placements for architecture students.

Campus Life

4.5

Life at the campus is quite fun. There are students from all parts of Kerala. Also there Btech students as well. Annual tech cum cultural fest Hestia is one of the best in Kerala. With various events covering cultural competition like dance, music, fashion etc. Also there will be a variety of talks and workshops conducted by qualified personnel in their respective profession. Will be attended by students from across Kerala, and few colleges from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It is a 4 day event with a grand DJ event on the final day.

Admission

No gd/pi in for admission. Admission is based on the scores of your NATA and the 12th board marks. An average of the two is taken for admission process. NATA involves general knowledge in architecture and drawing skills.

This college is not what it seems in the first look.

Likes

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.

Faculties are good. Most them are very friendly
Class rooms and canteen are also good. Not the best
Fees are very low comparing to other collages

Dislikes

Not giving good placements. Only 1 or 2 good companies good. Others are average
I'm not interested hostel. But my friends in hostel always saying that the food is not good.
Some faculties are not treat all the students equal. Not every only some

Placement Experience:

Placement are not the best. But EY , federal bank, TCS are some the prominent companies that are coming. The negative thing about placement is most of them are offering marking jobs. So if you are someone who is interested in operations this is not the collage you want to in.

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.

TIST , Great college , fun events and more

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.

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

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

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.
