I am almost satisfied with the college. Really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: About 75% of students are getting placed. If you are skilled, then the college will support you to the maximum, and they will provide opportunities for 100%. Placement coordinators are encouraging and providing training with utmost sincerity and seriousness. Top recruiters are TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, etc. About 50% of students are getting internship opportunities. Top roles offered include software engineer, full-stack developer, etc. The highest package is above 10 LPA, and average is 6 LPA - 7 LPA. The lowest salary will be about 3 LPA - 4 LPA.
Infrastructure: College is providing good infrastructure and facilities. Classrooms are well maintained and furnished, and all classrooms as well as lab are under camera surveillance. They provide a good Wi-Fi connection. I am a hosteler, and it is also maintained properly. Food quality is also okay. They have proper schedule as well as food menu and follow it properly.
Faculty: Faculty members are well experienced, and you can witness 30% faculty will move to government colleges or to industries for much exposure after 1 year of experience. Faculty members are very friendly and their teaching methods are good. KTU syllabus will not make students ready for the industry. For that we cannot blame college but this college is providing special training for students according to the latest trends in industry where they will provide 3 options. We can choose any domain and train according.
Other: I am very much interested in computer science. It is very competitive field and getting a job is not easy. But due to current situation and recession, we are facing some difficulties. University should change its syllabus and train students for the industry, not only for marks, but companies need skilled workers. Around 1500 students studying in the college. I don't feel much crowd, they are conducting many events in a grand manner. The main festival in Advay. Around 300 students are there in hostel. College is 20 KM away from Ernakulam, the nearest town in Arakkunnam, Mulanthuruthy, and Piravom. The railway station is 5 KM from college, and 500 meters from the bus stop.

Overall, the best university for an M.A. in Applied Economics course
Placements: 85% of students secured placements, and 70% of our seniors found placements while the remainder pursued their own projects. The maximum package was 10 LPA, the minimum was 1 LPA, and the average was 5 LPA. Numerous enterprises arrived here seeking job positions. 60% of students secured internships across various companies. Roles included data analyst, policy analyst, and others.
Infrastructure: Rooms come with a pair of fans, and there is a continuous supply of water and electricity available around the clock. The meals offered are of high quality, providing nutritious shakes, milk, and fruits during breakfast. Enrollment is completed online via the college's official website, and the costs are fair and manageable for students.
Faculty: Our college's professors and Head of Department are really supportive. Despite the problems with the Diploma, they helped me. The course syllabus is appropriate. The training and placement section teaches students how to participate in interviews, succeed in group discussions, and manage simulated assessments, among other things. The semester exam is quite difficult, with a pass rate of about 45%.

College campus is clean and hygienic. Also, the faculties and the placement record are impressive.
Placements: Our college placement cell is always active and always thinks about the best for the students. Every year, the placement record here is above 90%. Many of our seniors and I have got job offers in various famous companies like Vice, TCS, Wipro, etc. Also, many of us get the opportunity to study abroad for higher studies. The salary package here is four LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure base of our college is beautiful and well-equipped. There is air conditioning in every class. In addition, the classrooms here are quite large and bright. The college has a large library with a large number of books from home and abroad. There is also a playground, gym center, and free Wi-Fi on the campus.
Faculty: Faculty members are all very good and help the students in every way. They are all experienced, and most of them are Ph.D. holders. Through various project practicals, the students are prepared for external interviews and working in companies. The pass rate here is more than 85% every year.

Strong placements but average campus life.
Placements: I recently graduated in 2025 from the computer science and engineering Branch. From my personal experience, the college has a very good placement record. In 2025, a total of 208 jobs were offered across all the branches, and 129 students were placed. The average package ranges around 3.5 LPA-4 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, IBM, UST, TCS, Cognizant, EY, Federal Bank, Infosys, Schneider Electric, etc. Placement opportunities are best in CSE, with around 70%-80% of students in the branch getting placed.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent and includes most essential facilities, but there is still room for improvement. Facilities such as well-maintained classrooms, library, and fab labs are available, although some of the department-specific labs could be better maintained. Wi-Fi is available, but the connectivity is not always reliable. The canteen is decent and hygienic, and the hostels are okay.
Faculty: The faculty is one of the strong points of the college. Most of the faculty members are well-qualified and approachable. They maintain a good teaching standard and are encouraging. The course curriculum is relevant and aligned with university guidelines. With the right effort and guidance, students can become industry-ready. The pass percentage is generally high, and students who put in a reasonable amount of effort usually clear the exams without much trouble.
Other: The one area where the college might fall short is campus life. If you are expecting a vibrant campus life filled with frequent events and fests, then CEC might not fully meet your expectations. While there are events and activities conducted occasionally, they are not as frequent as those in some other colleges. So, if you are looking for a college that focuses strongly on academics, CEC is a great choice. However, if you are someone who prioritizes a dynamic campus life, you may want to weigh your options.

Best campus life in Kerala.
Placements: Placements in Electronics and Communication Engineering are not that good, but they are not poor either. The current passing-out batch had around 60% placements, and the highest was around 24 LPA, while the lowest was around 6 LPA. Other departments, like Computer Science Engineering and Safety and Fire Engineering, offer very good placements, while the Department of Civil Engineering has had 100% placements for the past few years.
Infrastructure: Every building is Wi-Fi enabled, including the hostels. The buildings are very good and located in a prime area. There are 12+ university hostels available on the main campus (6 for boys and 6 for girls), which are very close to the departments and very cheap (around 500/month). The campus is very nature-friendly. There are libraries in every department and a common university library.
Faculty: The college has perfectly qualified teachers who are experts in their areas. The syllabus is not 100% industry-focused, but it gets you industry-ready. The teachers are not exactly helpful, but their job is to teach, and they do that. If you find the right resources and understand what needs to be done in an exam-focused manner, you will clear the exams.
Other: The campus is one of the best in Kerala. There are people from almost everywhere.
