Govt. College Kariavattom

Prior to FYUGP, my course i.e BSc. Biotechnology was a triple major course, which provided majors in Biotechnology, Chemistry and either of Zoology or Botany. However the new updated FYUGP curriculum, which calls for a more dynamic approach for teaching and learning, faces the criticism that the methods of teaching and learning still haven't changed, and the teachers and students are still unaware about how to make maximum use of its perks due to them being uneducated about the new curriculum. If done right, the new curriculum could be a game changer as it has deep real life applications over the previous curriculum which heavily relief in rot learning.

Fees around 2500 to 4500 per semester depending upon the course opted. Egrantz scholarship can be easily availed for students from low income families or belonging to categories like OBC, SC and ST. Central sector scholarship also provided.

Students are getting less enthusiastic in college activities over the years. However students have been provided with the opportunity to joined various clubs such as NCC, NSS, Nature club, SFS etc. The college heavily promotes sports and other extracurricular activities. Classrooms have been updated with the smart class technology. Library is quite extensive with plenty of reference books.

The campus of the college is quite large in comparison to other top colleges in Trivandrum. Most of the courses in this college are either rare of difficult to find in other colleges of Kerala University.

Biotechnology faculty, Botany and English faculties are the best. Zoology faculty is the worst and often overworks students. Teachers and Students often find themselves in good rapport. Most of the Students are comfortably able to clear the exams without failing. Presently the college follows the updates FYUGP curriculum which consists of 4 year degree programme.
