The curriculum offers a well-rounded approach, covering foundational theories as well as practical applications, which is crucial for a holistic understanding. Opportunities for internships, projects, and case studies were emphasized, providing hands-on experience that is essential for skill development. The involvement of experienced and knowledgeable faculty members who are active in their fields ensures that the curriculum is both current and relevant. The exams are easy to moderate although sometimes they can be really challenging.

The cultural club of iiit Kottayam is Wildbeats. Throughout the year they organise many competitions and flash mobs. Chitrachaya is the photography club of our college. Our annual techo- cultural fest is known as Apoorv. There are also many more events on the occasion of festivals like onam,diwali and Ganesh chaturthi. Most of these events are low budget ventures because the college doesn't provide enough funds. Also there is a students mess committee (safe to say it's not of much use)

Each room has 3 occupants. The rooms have fan, cupboards and study tables as well as individual beds. Wifi routers are provided everywhere. During rainy season, there are some issues regarding the internet speed. Sometimes the routers are down for whole days. As for the meal, there cannot be anything worse. Menu is balanced with both North and South dishes but they seem to forget about the taste.

Last year's cutoff marks are available on the josaa website. Candidates must register on the JOSAA official website using their JEE Main or JEE Advanced roll number and password. During registration, candidates need to provide personal, academic, and contact details. JOSAA conducts multiple rounds of seat allocation. Seat allocation is based on the candidate’s rank, category, and choices filled. After each round, the results are published on the JOSAA website. Candidates must present the original documents for verification at the reporting center or the allotted institute. Required documents typically include JEE Main/Advanced scorecard, rank card, provisional seat allotment letter, class 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), and other relevant certificates.

All the faculty members are well qualified. Most of them are ready to solve any queries of the students. For the first years the student teacher ratio was like 1 to 150 but this was not much of a problem I guess. There are digital boards in the classrooms. The lab hours are also not too bad. Although we had some really brilliant professors (some were more eager to teach than the students were in learning), there were some exceptions. For example for our computer architecture course we had a professor who knew as much about he course she was teaching as I know about Malayalam(I am Marathi). But I think this was managments mistake as she was maybe assigned a subject she didn't know about. They ought to be more careful in this regard.
