There are many notable alumni.

Placements: Hence, since it is an undergraduate and postgraduate college, there are not many placements. There are many notable alumni who are in higher positions now. For years, many of the university rank holders have been from here. Many of them are now doing higher studies at famous institutions.

Infrastructure: There are department libraries separately and a general library, which is quite good. means the hostel is inside the campus and the ladies hostel is outside. It is about an average of 800 meters away from the college. The food is okay but not that good. There is a time limit in the ladies hostel, which is 7 p.m.

Faculty: There are model exams and internal exams are conducted strictly. As this is a government college, exams are conducted by the university. It is under Calicut University The teachers are well-educated and really helpful. Almost all of them have doctorates.

Our college management is really very good.

Placements: From the last semester, students become eligible for the campus placement. There is much company that offer a placement with an annual package for the students. Interviews were held by the companies for the selection of the best candidate for placement. They offer 2 Lacs per annum to 3 Lacs per annum for the students.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are awesome. Our hostel warden is so friendly to use. 50 bathrooms and 50 toilets in our college for 200 students. We have separate means hostel and ladies hostel in our college. Even backward class can stay without feels. External Expenses : Rs.2000 - Rs.4000.

Faculty: I'm very fond of learning about the various living creatures wondering around us in the world. So I took admission in M.Sc. Zoology. 7 associate professors and 1 assistant professor are in the Zoology department which makes the ratio 8:40 I. e. 1:5 means 5 students one proof. Is available which is so impressive. All 8 professors have completed their Ph.D. in different. Subjects of Zoology. From this year the exam scheme is changed from yearly to semester. So it will be quite difficult for us to pass the exams now.

If you want to study any particular subject purely on an academic basis, here is a great option.

Placements: Since it is a Government college offering general courses, placement support is not there. However, there will be career guidance seminars to guide students and the teachers are extremely helpful in guiding us. All in all it is a great experience per se.

Infrastructure: Eventhough every basic facility is available, almost all buildings are from the 90s, which gives a vintage look and aesthetic to the campus. Various movies have also been shot in this campus. The vineetha garden also gives a class look to this campus.

Faculty: These courses definitely will not make you industry ready, however if you are interested in learning a subject to the core, it is helpful. Semester exams are a bit hidious since Calicut university is known to NOT conduct exams on time, unfortunate.

Other: Campus life as a whole is really colorful and joyous.

It has vibrant atmosphere and students feel an extraordinary connection on campus.

Placements: The placement cell was not active in this college. Usually, students from a commerce background get placed in banks and other institutions. Students from arts backgrounds did not get placements after UG. Many students preferred PG courses.

Infrastructure: Classrooms were spacious. There was a decent library and staff members were friendly. The food served in the canteen was very good. This college provided immense opportunities to sportspeople. The boys' hostel was available on our campus. The girls' hostel was just a half km away from our college. The food served in the hostel was average. Both hostels were good.

Faculty: All teachers had doctorate degrees. They were very helpful. The course curriculum was not hard. If we studied well, we would score good marks in exams. The course was useful in real life. The pass marks were 24. Students engaged in cultural activities and sports got grace marks as well.

Other: The course had a wide range of scope in any field. The only con that I felt was in Kerala, subjects related to Arts were not given that importance. This college sanctions grants to needy people, and the union arranges programs frequently.
