What Students Say

Likes

The crowd you get to mingle with in this college is excellent.
The faculty is very helpful and seniors helps whenever needed.
The placements are top notch, and the student body provides all the help.requires.

Dislikes

Campus life is very poor. There’s not much events.
The infrastructure is poor. But there’s all required facilities.
The ktu university structure is very hectic.

Course Curriculum Overview

I selected the csbs course because it provided me with the opportunity to combine my two interests : computer science and business. The exams are very hectic not because of the college but because of the ktu university.

Class Size: 66Course Fees: INR 179840 per year

Placement Experience

The placements at mec are top notch . The placement cell and training cell are student led. The highest package last year was 56lpa .most of the students in the computer science departments get placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

I joined this college under state merit category. Each sem costs ?22,740 . And the whole fours would amount to be ?1,79,000. There's three categories merit, management and nri. The management course fee is 35,000 per sem and nri category costs ?1,00,000 per year.

Campus Life

The overall experience so far is not bad. The infrastructure is a bit towards the negative side. But the faculties placements and facilities make up for it. The clubs are all student led and most of the clubs conduct workshops and programs every week.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel I stay at is the college histel. It's very good and worth the fee paid . The food is not bad and there's enough freedom. The fee is a bit expensive but it's worth it.w rare provided with wifi , furniture and all our queries are listened to.

Hostel Fee: INR 150000 per year

Admission

I had gotten into symbiosis university of engineering pune but I chose not to go there and chose model engineering college instead . One of the main reasons was because the fee in symbiosis pune was very high compared to model. And model provided better results at the same time. Admission process for getting into mec is KEAM examination.

Faculty

Faculty to student ratio is 3:60 . They are very approachable and helps us when required.most of the faculty teaches very well but a few of them , their teaching style is not very understandable.other than that all are very helpful.

Night Life

The campus life around model engineering college is not bad . The ladies hostel has curfew of 9.30 and men's hostel has. Curfew of 10. Even though there's very few shops at a walkable distance . There's lots of eateries and stores in a 5 km radius.

Placement Experience:

Placements cells are supportive in terms of networking with different companies and are readily active for the students competing in getting internships and placements. The college has a tie up with different companies like Infosys , Wipro , Deloitte , IBM , NVIDIA , Deshaw Private Limited etc. Students become eligible from semester 5 onwards for on campus placements. The offers made by these companies are 8 LPA to 9 LPA by deloitte , innfosys , and IBM but the highest package is being offered by Deshaw and NVIDIA that is 60 LPA and 47 LPA. The average package is around 11 LPA and the percentage of students getting placed are above 80%. My plan after getting the degree is to work for an IT Company to get the hands on knowledge about what the current technologies demand and get experienced in that and work further upon it.

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 applied to cet, tkm, gec for branches eee and ec My first option was cet for which i couldn't get admission due to my rank. Cet requires rank below 1000. And my second option was mec (my college). I choose this college over gec and tkm because it was in my home town itself and it had better placement opportunities. But cant compare mec with gec and tkm in terms of college life, campus area, facilities....Read More

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
