Entrance Preview

I took KEAM - Kerala Entrance Exam. It is one of the few technical institutions in South India, which admits students mostly on a merit basis through an All Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination. Admission to this institution requires good ranks in this examination.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Mine was 2008 scheme which was outdated. Now 2013 scheme is also over and APJ university is currently in place. It is very good and helps to mold you into a good engineer with a lot of practical knowledge for sure. I think the current University promotes research as well.

Internships Opportunities

Yes , though it is only for a few branches. Internship is good for branches like Computer Science . Companies like Amazon do offer internships for them. A stipend of nearly 45 K for 1.5 months was given to them. Not much internship for civil students. I did one internship in a company named Build Next.

Placement Experience

Placement is good. A number of Software companies and Core companies do visit the college. Software giants like TCS, Infosys, Hexagon, Accenture visit college yearly. in total nearly 100 companies come yearly. Increasingly recognized by recruiters for its abundant talent pool and excellent facilities, CET's placement process aims to match the requirements of recruiters and the aspirations of students.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It is a government college and hence the fees will be very low compared to other colleges. Infact per year my fees was around 7,200 Rs and then some exam fee of around 100 per paper or so was also there. This is very low as compared to some private colleges which ask for around 50 K per year or more. Hence do not even have the slightest worries in fee. Even if you are poor there will be scholarships.

Fees and Financial Aid

I had CBSE central Sector Scholarship and hence could not get any more scholarships. A large number of awards and scholarships are awarded to outstanding students in academics and sports.

Exam Structure

Usually the do give sufficient gap of 2 days before exams. Labs might be scheduled earlier than written paper. Semester exams are there nearly in every 6 months. Each semester had 2 series exams as well. All in all it wont be too hectic but be ready to get some tensions occasionaly.

Faculty

It is one of the best in terms of faculty. Very qualified teachers who took Mtech from IIT and top NIT are there too. They are quite helpful and experienced.The college was ranked 47 in Outlook Magazine's LIST of Top 100 Engineering Colleges in India 2016 which itself shows how good the faculty is.

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.

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.

This college is the best government college in Kerala. It has been consistently first in KIRF ranking. It has very cheap fees. The campus is very beautiful and spacious (about 200 acres). My best choice of colleges very IITs and NITs like most people. I couldn't crack JEE. I only applied to this college because I had very high ranking in KEAM exam and was confident of acceptance. KEAM exam is a lot easier to crack than JEE. It has basic higher secondary school syllabus. To get my course you would have to be around 700th rank. To get other courses in my college you can have rank as low as 20k....Read More
