Carmel College of Engineering, the truth.

The curriculum is based upon KTU syllabus. Also as everyone know, 2019 KTU syllabus is outdated. Now I am hearing that upcoming syllabus have better structure and focusing upon futuristic scopes of the field. I choosed Mechanical Engineering because I am learning this particular stream since 2017.

Only final year students are eligible for campus placements. Mostly IT companies and banking sector comes for the placements. No core companies were there for it unless one or two for Mechanical engineering. Highest package will be given to the CS stream only. Not more than 25/26 students from a class gets a placement.

The fee structure depends upon the management. Now they are increasing the fees for respective streams. Some streams have fewer than others. Atleast 3-4 lakhs are required for the completion of a course in the general category seat. Scholarships are there for the students with more KEAM scores and LET students have scholarships according to their diploma score. I have worked in different roles on the campus for various requirements, but I haven't received any stipends. But will get consideration in the way of attendance as duty leave.

The annual arts fest named Jhalak and the tech fest named Sparkz are conducted. And both of them are done for just meeting the criteria for accreditation. The management has no interest in doing such things other than academics. There is no college day conducted in my period on that campus. There are plenty of books available at the library for engineering and literature. The classrooms are ok. Neither poor nor best. The sports have the least concern among others.

I joined via Lateral Entry after completing Diploma. The minimum rank to join this college can be found as low as 250+. I had an All Kerala Rank of 66 so I had no issues in joining. The joining should be done only via government allotments. There is management seats available but for reducing the risk register at the government portal.

Faculties have better qualification according to their experiences and certificates. But maybe due to management concerns, most of them are doing spoon feeding and faculties are focusing on completing the syllabus rather than making students work. Just spoon feeding the syllabus. But the approchability is good they are helping when you personally contacting them. Even though some of them have no idea about the subjects.
