College of Engineering and Management Punnapra - A 2024 Hosteller Review.

Course is almost like 3 months and Teachers Make it up to the entire syllabus by the end of Semester. There are 2 exams for internal evaluation and internal marks are based upon this. They are followed under KTU syllabus. Most of Students rely upon other sources than Teachers to study, which shows the effective teaching of Teachers.

Students have to find internships themselves through Social Media apps such as LinkedIn. The assistance for Internship is low and not so supportive. Students get exposed to Jobs only at Last Year or 7th Semester.

Students are availed to Placements in Last Year or seventh Semester. There are not much Companies visited and most of the students are not skilled. Most Students go for additional skill development courses after college and seek jobs.

Tuition Fees is ?35000 for Merit Seat Students and Little More for Management Seat Students. There is an additional fees about ?10000 per year as special fees which include Union Fund, Sports Fund, PTA Fund, Library Fund etc. The Students Activities are conducted through this funds.There are also Scholarships available to students who are eligible. Campus Employment is very weak and Less than 10% Students get placed in jobs.

Only a few students enjoy Campus life because they are the ones who coordinate the events and programs. I was in College football team and we have reached 2nd Round of University Zone C Tournament. There are other sports like Cricket, Badminton, Chess, Table Tennis for both Men and Women. Facilities are not so good but can be estimated as average in the college, this include Lab facilities and Office Management. There are Student run groups such as TINKERHUB and IEDC etc.

Hostel is very good place to Enjoy the College life. The Food Menu is decided by Students Committee and The Cooks are not so Perfect. The Hostel is ran by students and the expenses are also met by them under the supervision of a Residing Warden. There is 1 Cot and 1 chair for each student and 1 Table, 2 Fans, 2 Lights per Room. Normally Rooms consists of 3 members. Hostel has 7 staff including 3 Cook, 2 Security, 1 Cleaning Staff and 1 Residing Warden. Their Salary is also met by students including the room rent of 1200? which adds upto about ?2000 a fixed fees per month.

For Merit Seat, You have to pass KEAM examination. The Cutoff mark is 10 marks and based on Rank list, students get into various colleges that they apply. KEAM exam is conducted once in every year after 12th Board exams. The one thing I don't like was Caste reservations for Admission.

Teachers are easily approachable. There are friendly teachers and non friendly, Most of the teachers are not Permanent staff. There is 1 teacher for every 39 Students in my department. All of the teachers are not effective in teaching, some just open up PDF notes or PPTs in Projector and Bluffs. The Qualification of Teachers is not strict here so as the students. Anyone who Passed Plus 2 can get admission here without KEAM.
