What Students Say

Likes

Washing Machine for washing clothes would be the biggest plus
More peer interactions and good coding culture
More industry based course and curriculum.

Dislikes

Less freedom, strict environment and high attendance requirement
Mess food is very shit. And we should compulsorily pay the fees.
Campus size very small. Not much place to explore even outside the campus

Course Curriculum Overview

Course and curriculum is more industry based than other colleges and it follows the curriculum of IIIT Hyderabad. Since it focuses more on industry basis and new trends the curriculum is really good comparing to other colleges . In each semester there'll be 1 mid sem exam and 1 semester then 2 quizes and all of moderate difficulty. Grading is purely relative

Class Size: 143Course Fees: INR 360000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Since I'm of first year I have no knowledge on the mentioned matter. But still I think the college provides good internship facilities or rather train and give good guidance for its students to receive good internship offers

Placement Experience

2.5

I don't know much about this section.. But the avg package while I took admission (2023) was around 14LPA and highest package was around 50LPA. The number student intake is also increasing year by year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees is comparatively high. Complete course fee including food,hostel etc would be around 15L. College itself do not provide any financial aids but can avail student scholarship loans. And since this college comes under premier institute loans are available without giving collateral.

Campus Life

If you're looking for vibrant college life filled with fest and enjoyment DO NOT come here. There are fests and extracurricular activities but still not upto the expectations. There are many tech based clubs which are very active. Campus is still developing and many works are still going on and currently it does have only a small library as of now . IIIT K annual techno cultural fest is "apoorv" which commences around feb-march

Hostel Facilities

Hostels inside the campus are quite cramped up. 1 room for 3 students each gets a cot, chair and table. There's washing machine available. And new hostels are still in construction. And its compulsory for all students to take hostel and mess from campus there's no option for pg or staying outside . In terms of food it's very bad and not at all worth the money we pay

Hostel Fee: INR 25000 per year

Admission

Admission only through the JEE Mains examination. Application details etc can be found on jeemain.nta website. Normal reservation is given to all jee colleges. The minimum cutoff percentile should be around 94

Other Applied Colleges

National Institute of Technology - [NITC] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electronics & Communication Engineering)

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are highly volatile taking the stats from over the past three years there has been an up trend as well a down trend, I hope I will get placed through on campus interviews, the highest package of this year was for two graduates who got into IBM with 22 lakhs per aanum, there are few who didn't get into any of the companies while there were others who got int Amazon and other reputated companies, if I do not get into a reputed company through my college on campus placements the.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placement from the 6th semester onwards. At the conclusion of the second year, the college evaluates all students, allowing only the diligent and deserving individuals to proceed, while others are dismissed. The college provides excellent placement prospects for high-performing students. A multitude of reputable companies actively recruit from our institution, making it a premier destination for career opportunities in Kerala. While assured placement is offered to students with minimal or no backlog papers, others are also placed, albeit with comparatively lower annual packages. Majority of the talented students are placed in Cognizant and TCS Ninja with an average annual package of 10 to 12 lakh. I actually plan to pursue higher studies after Btrch.
