Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course curriculum in first year is same for everybody irrespective of the branch they have chosen.The specilization begins from the second year and even the core branches have a bit of coding in their curriculum which is in fad now.The course I have taken teaches C and Java in the first and second semester respectively.They are held with practicals so students can also get a better understanding in their field

Internships Opportunities

2.5

Internships are offered mostly during and after second year .Sometimes internship are not offered by the college and one has to apply for them through various networks.One has to be very diverse in their work and projects they showcase.Front end and backend ,web development etc decide the type of internship.

Placement Experience

2.5

Third year students are eligible to sit for placements.Almost 80% stduents get placed and the rest opt for higher studies .TCS and Cape Gemini which are well known visit the campus.My plans are to opt for higher studies after my graduation

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees for general category students are around 1,40,000/- .Students can apply for scholarship through MahaDBT.The fees remain mostly constant every year for first year students.Although a couple of thousands might increase for higher years.

Campus Life

4

The college provides a healthy and sporty environment.There are various fests including Alegria in February for which this college is known.The library is available on the third floor and is more than enough for studies.Many workshops are also held during the fests in which students can participate to enhance their skills

Admission

The reservation procedure is complicated but doable if theres time in hand.Firstly students have to make their domicile certificate to avail the 80% in house student quota.Also this college has a language based reservation quota for Malayalam speakers.

Faculty

3

The faculties are highly qualified.They teach the subject well and help in doubts.Though some faculties are arrogant and rude towards students.They discredit the students answers in exams sometimes even if the answers are present in notes.The teachers are quite approachable and provide their contact numbers to students.

Placement Experience:

Placements start from final year. Students become eligible in 7th sem. Training sessions begin earlier. Aptitude and coding practice provided. Mock interviews are also conducted. Preparation quality depends on effort. Many service based firms visit. Some product companies also come. Roles include developer and analyst. Support and testing roles common. Core jobs limited for some branches. Multiple offers for top performers. Average package is moderate level. Top packages go to few students. Around half students get placed. Others find off campus jobs. Internships improve placement chances. My plan is skill based job.
