- There is no external motivation for you to study and you will have to be self motivated to come out on top.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum gets updated every five years, the last time being in 2024. The latest curriculum is far better than the curriculums before, as it is focused on building additional skills in the students and also prepare them for industries. A bit more exposure to industry level facilities could be included in the curriculum.
Internships Opportunities
Yes the college provides internship for students.Internship offers are passed to students via placement and assistance cell. Senior teachers and other faculty will help students very well in projects and gate preparation. I haven't did any internship yet as I'm a first year student, I hope to do some in the future.
Placement Experience
The college has decent placements. Students from 3rd and 4th year appears for placements. The placement cell is very active. Companies like L&T, MRF visits for placements. The highest package last year was 32 LPA. Many students leave for higher studies abroad or gate preparation.
Fees and Financial Aid
As it is a state goverment institution, the college fees is very affordable, around 9000 rupees per year. Certain categories can study without any fees. Many scholarships can be availed while studying in the college such as e-grantz, alumni association scholarships etc. They are based on annual income and also merit.
Campus Life
The campus life is excellent. The college conducts it's technical and cultural fest together and it's called Dyuthi. It's typically held during the later half of the year. The college also hosts many minor events which are very fun and also useful.
Admission
I had applied to College of Engineering Trivandrum,GECT and also TKM College of engineering, kollam. I had got admitted to TKM first, but through second allotment window I got admission in GECT. I didn't have enough rank to get placed in CET. The reason for choosing this college over the other government colleges in the state like TKM would be the infrastructure, the placements in the college, and also the college life in GECT. Admission in all of these colleges are based on KEAM entrance exam (Kerala engineering entrance exam).
Faculty
The faculty members are excellent, almost all of them being PhD scholars. There is no shortage of faculty members in any department. Some faculty may feel not upto par with the standards of the rest, but these are exceptional cases. Talking about exams, we get two internal examinations (Series Tests) , and then one End Semester Examination. Faculties manage to finish the topics before the exams. The exams are moderate and can be aced with ease of you prepare well enough.
Night Life
There are many students in the campus even at night, hanging out with friends, playing games etc. There are also many spots to hangout like Union bench, basketball court etc.There is minimal nightlife outside the campus, except for a few cafes where theres a crowd 24/7. The college has a gym which is open from 4-6 pm. The timing is kind of short and the facilities are not that great. The cafeteria provides tasty food for very affordable rate. The ladies hostel has a curfew time of 9 pm. There is not curfew time for men's hostel.
