What Students Say

Likes

Its location , It is situated at the heart of cochin city. Unlike other colleges it is easily accessible from the city,all means of transport are available from here.
Great social life. It is really easy to meet students of other classes and other years because of the small area of the college.

Dislikes

Area of the college is really small.There is not much place to hang around inside the college premises.
Not much emphasis on sports and arts programs

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose computer science and business systems because i am interested in both management studies and technology.Our course contains many mangement subjects and computer science subjects.Management subjects are really easy.We are currently the first batch of this course in our college and we are expecting great place.

Class Size: 66Course Fees: INR 70000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Companies will offer internships interships if you are skilled. recently oracle visited our college and offered 50k stipend for 3 months.other companies Like lenovo, harman, accenture also offer internships with stipend 25k and upwards.

Placement Experience

The placements here are great, if you are skilled you would get a very high paying job from here.Even if you are not that skilled,still you would get a decent job.The companies that visited include Deloitte, EY, Harman, Lenovo, Accenture, Air India.etc

Fees and Financial Aid

For management seats which is half of the total seats , the fee is 70000 per year.For Merit seats the fee is 35000 per year.A Caution deposit of 10000 is to paid which will be returned upon completion of course.Other extra fees are all paid within the course fee.

Campus Life

Campus life sucks!. There is hardly any events happening,A tech fest happens once a year and arts and sports competition occurs once a year, Apart from that there is hardly any events occuring.however there are many clubs present like tinkerhub, Foss, iedc.etc , joining clubs would get you some events.

Admission

I initially got admission in Rajagiri and i decided not to join there as is it very strict and thankfully i got admission here in the 2nd allotment . Getting seats for computer science is really hard, you would have to get rank of 2000 below in Keam entrace exam.

Faculty

The faculties here are great, they are well educated and friendly.They are easy to approach and are happy to help with your problems.There are two series (internal) exams before the semester examination.The portions for the exams are completed early on so that we get time to prepare and study.

A Proud CECian

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are highly volatile taking the stats from over the past three years there has been an up trend as well a down trend, I hope I will get placed through on campus interviews, the highest package of this year was for two graduates who got into IBM with 22 lakhs per aanum, there are few who didn't get into any of the companies while there were others who got int Amazon and other reputated companies, if I do not get into a reputed company through my college on campus placements the. I'll be aiming for higher educations most probably

Good for social life but very minimal infrastructure and facilities

The reason I chose this college over other options were due to the prime location in which it is present and due to the city it is present in . MEC is renowned for the placement opportunities available in this college and is placed in the top 3 colleges in Kerala in terms of placemenets . The admission is based on the student's KEAM rank and this rank decides whether you get the Merit seat or management seat . For others you also have an NRI seat . One other college i applied to was GEC Thrissur and i chose this over GECT was due to placements and location ....Read More
