Limited space but excellent placements.
Placements: MEC has an excellent placement record. They are very active and one of the most hardworking cells in our college. Our alumni, even though they are graduates, are still part of our placement cell. The highest CTC is 52 lacs per annum, and the average is 8 lacs per annum. Top recruiters in our college are Visa, Key Value, Redbus, and Ansys.
Infrastructure: Our girls' college is brand new. It is not that strict. The curfew is at 9:30 p.m. for senior girls and 7 p.m. for junior girls. Mess facilities are also provided in the hostel. The staff maintains hygiene while serving as well as cooking. We also have two residential staff members in our hostel. The hostel has Wi-Fi facilities and attached bathrooms in every room.
Faculty: The teachers are very highly qualified. They are very supportive. Some of them are strict, while some are very friendly, especially during internal assessments and college fests. The exam curriculum is outdated; it doesn't make the students industry-ready.
Other: Our campus is extremely small. There are only two academic blocks in our college. We have a canteen maintained by Kudumbashree. The library lacks some reference books.

Good faculty, nice placement
Placements: MEC kochi is renowned for its outstanding placement. Our strong alumni and students working in the placement cells work really hard to bring companies to our college. Highest package this year is 52 LPA and average is 8 lacks per annum. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, Adobe, TCS, Redbus, Sobha constructions, Ansys etc.
Infrastructure: Men's hostel is pretty old. Some rooms are brand new while some are a bit moldy and rusty. You get admission in the hostel based on your distance from hometown and your keam rank. Hostel mess food is delicious, there's non veg food almost everyday. We have a security and resident tutors in our hostel.
Faculty: Faculties are very friendly and supportive. You can approach them to help you with your internship, project, seminars etc. they are very much educated, most of them has done their PhD. Course curriculum is a bit outdated, they do not make the students industry ready and exams are moderately difficult.
Other: Our college conducts one of the best tech fests in Kerala, Excel which takes place annually. Excel days gives the best college days. We have various clubs offering various activities. Asme, nss and ieee clubs are very much active.

The college lacks in infrastructural facilities but has really excellent placements.
Placements: 40 percent of the students from our course were placed. The highest package offered was 18 LPA, while the lowest package was 6 LPA, and the average package was 8 LPA. The top recruiting companies included Shobha Constructions, L&T, TCS, and various call centers. Most mechanical engineering students completed internships at Cochin Shipyard Ltd., HMT, and ISRO. The top roles offered to our graduates included floor supervisors in various industries and hardware engineers.
Infrastructure: The mechanical branch has its own dedicated block, but the labs are equipped with minimal tools and machines. The mechanical block offers Wi-Fi throughout all floors, and each classroom is fitted with projectors and adequate seating. The men’s hostel provides excellent food in the mess and has sufficient sports equipment. It also includes gym facilities. In contrast, the women’s hostel has subpar amenities, an average mess facility, and is operated on a contract basis.
Faculty: The teachers are well-educated, holding doctorates in their respective fields from reputable institutions. The course curriculum is consistent across the state and is regulated by Kerala Technical University. The university mandates internships and projects for students to ensure they are industry-ready.
Other: The infrastructure is subpar, and the sports facilities are just for name-sake.

Satisfied because of good faculty and placements.
Placements: All the students are placed in my course. I’m not sure about the packages offered but the average package is about 8 LPA and tha highest package offered was 30 LPA. For the Mechanical department, companies like Bosch, L&T, Air India, Tata, etc. are the top recruiters.
Infrastructure: Quality of the facilities offered was good enough and the food was excellent. All the basic amenities are provided, since it’s a government college, the services are not that good. The infrastructure is good enough having all the required labs being provided along with a well maintained functional library.
Faculty: The college is ranked 3rd in Kerala for having the highest passing percentage. The teachers are really helpful, their teaching quality is also good . The syllabus provided by the university is a little outdated. I don’t think the course makes the students industry ready. The exams are moderately difficult.

3rd best college in Kerala.
Placements: We have amazing placement in our college. This year the highest package offered was 52 lacs per annum and the lowest was 6 lacs per annum. The average placement offered was 8 lacs per annum. Our main recruiters are Ansys, Redbus, Sobha Construction, etc. Top roles offered are Analyst and engineering trainee.
Infrastructure: We only have two academic blocks in our college. The new one is for mechanical and electrical Engineering students. Most of the classes have digital board. Wifi is free around the campus. Talking about hostel, Men's hostel is very old. To take admission, we need to be at least a minimum distance away from the college; the admission is based on the distance from the college to the home. Rent in men's hostel is very cheap too.
Faculty: Faculties are very professional. They all got their PhD in their field of study. The course curriculum is old and not so relevant at the current scenario. The university definitely need to update the course curriculum. The semester exams are very difficult too. Simply writing the semester exams doesn't make the students industry-ready.
Other: Even though we have a small campus, our tech events are top-notch. We have various clubs, including IEEE, NSS, ASME, IEDC, etc.
