Good faculty members and workshop facilities.

Placements: The placements were okay but not great. Most of the companies were from the IT sector. TCS was the mass recruiter but didn't take many students during our tenure. The placement cell was good. They did conduct different mock interviews and classes for us to crack these IT jobs.

The college has a good crowd and infrastructure.

Placements: Placements in the college are not bad, but mostly IT companies visit the college to hire the students. Most of the students in my batch got placed in IT firms like TCS. The placement cell is very helpful, and they do conduct mock aptitude tests and interviews. They conduct many classes which help us to be ready for the interviews and GD sections.

The college with good exposure and faculty.

Placements: Placements in the college are okay, but mainly IT companies are the mass recruiters. One of the best companies that visit the campus for recruitment is TCS which hires more than 25% of the students. The placement cell is great and very helpful. Faculty members help us in cracking the interviews and GDs.

Good college with good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: The placement is not bad, but fewer core companies visit for recruitment. Most of the companies coming for recruitment are from the IT sector. The highest salary offered was 3.4 LPA. Industrial visits are conducted instead of internships. If the students want to undertake the internship, then it is at their own risk.

A college for a good campus life and memories.

Placements: The placements in core companies are nil, but they do have IT companies coming for recruiting. The biggest company that makes mass recruitment is TCS. Other companies like Bosch and Inoclad also started recruiting. Amazon India also recruited students. Overall, the placement scenario is improving.

This is a good college for academics and cultural activities.

Placements: Placement percentage is not 100%, but 50-60% of the students will get placed by the companies every year. Mainly IT companies visit the college for recruitment. Students who have coding background can get into these companies. TCS is the mass recruiter. The placement cell is supportive, and they do conduct mock interviews to prepare students for interviews.

Good private college along with good faculty members.

Placements: The placement is relatively good. The placement for mechanical branch alone is nil. Mostly IT service companies come for placements. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Bosch, Inoclad etc. Are some of the mass recruiters. More than 50% of the students were placed directly to these companies.

The environment is good. Other clubs are provided to improve the skills of students.

Placements: Most of the students got placed in the campus placements. The placement percentage is almost 70%. The highest salary package was in between Rs. 15,000 per month to Rs. 25,000 per month and the average was Rs. 10,000 per month. There is a placement cell, and it manages all the necessary things. Our college provides 100% internship options to students. All kinds of roles are assigned to the students without any discrimination.

It is one of the NBA accredited top colleges in Kerala.

Placements: The main recruiter for all the engineering streams is TCS. For 2017 batch, TCS recruited almost 40 students from all the streams, which was less in number compared to our seniors. Other non-core companies were also a part of different drives. Anora Labs, Bangalore was another core recruiter.

The best in Thrissur District.

Placements: Infosys, toyota, wipro. Most of the famous company's placement can be expected from here. Even Microsoft. U cannot defy this college interms of placement issues. And u need to acquire at least a 6.5 to appear for most of the interviews done by the company's. Then it's a way to go.

My experience with my college - The truth behind every engineering college.

Placements: While looking at the number of placements, it is quite high. Most of the companies that offered jobs were call centres who will pay less than 10000 a month. There are quite a few that got good packages from better companies. The highest package is about 5.5 lakhs per annum, and the lowest is Rs. 90000 per annum. Internships are not promoted here, only 1 student went for it.

A place where a good engineer is born.

Placements: Placements do take place. We have a placement cell where they take it up really seriously and train students. And tell them about upcoming programs. They make us do small tests at times. We have two periods in a week to perform tests. Those will be multiple choice ones.

Satisfied with the infrastructure and not so much with the college.

Placements: The college has very good placement schemes. Many reputed companies like Infosys, TCS are coming here to look for new engineers. Most of the students who attended the interview got placements. An average of 60 to 80 percent of the students got selected, and most of them got a good reputation.

If you are dreaming big? Then Vidya is for you.

Placements: The placements offered in our college are pretty good. We have some IT giant like TCS and Indian Navy recruiting the students from our college. In 2016, there were nearly 50 people who were recruited by TCS. Some 3-5 people got placed in Quest Global and VVDN Technologies. I have seen three students from my senior batches, and many of the guys from ECE and CSE, secure their placements in at least one of the companies. Quite a few talented ones got triple placements as well. The training and plac...
