Nice college with pleasant vibe.

Placements: Poor placement with below-average LPA. Many students get placed, but the annual income is very poor. Mainly, the majority of the students get placements in many companies, but the majority LPA is less than 8lcs. However, some students get good packages with higher LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostel facility is very poor, but the ambiance and vibe with friends give so many memories. The faculty in charge of the hostel is also very nice and friendly, but the main problem is the mess food; it is very poor. The curries are like flowing water, but the atmosphere is very nice.

Faculty: Teachers are very nice; the majority of them are youngsters with a friendly vibe. The college atmosphere is very cool and chill, but the exams are very tough. If you have a chance to get admission in another university, then go and take admission in that university; don't get trapped in KTU.

Affordable College with good placement, friendly people yet not good for people from outside kerala.

Placements: Placements are not particularly good overall, but it all depends on how you perform in the interview and examinations. You are eligible for the placement from the sixth semester onward. Companies visited recently include IBM, TCS, Cognizant, Reliance, L&T, EY, SOTI, and Visteon. Most of the offers were about 5-6 Lacs per year. The largest annual compensation is up to 15 Lacs, the lowest is 4 Lacs, and the average is up to 6 Lacs. The percentage of placed pupils range from 60 to 80%. .

Infrastructure: College labs are very good, Classes are small divided in A and B batch with total of 116 something students combined. You're strictly having 75% attendance overall in semester. Teacher do understand Hindi also, some don't, same goes for keralite students here, You'll easily make friends here, but you have to manage and struggle to match a vibe. There are lot of strikes dues to political parties here and student parties. From First year itself you won't get hostel so, you have to take PG or flat or Private hostel. The hostels infrastructure is decent, but the food is terrible. Our hostel is very good, Onam and other ocassions like Diwali is also celebrated here. First, apply for a hostel. According to the guidelines, you will only be able to get hostels in your second semester onwards based on the distance of your hometown. Wi-Fi is terrible in terms of speed, Water purifiers and coolers are there. No sports ground in hostel but outside nearby. No market or canteen nearby except for the mess.

Faculty: In my department of Computer Science, if you study you will pass or else gone. The pros also support extracurricular, achievements, and other activities. The entire faculty here is very qualified, yet some of the lecturers have a monotonous method of teaching, while some are really good at what they teach. Semester exams are held every 4 months because our batch was behind schedule, due to strikes, and other factors. The document level is not particularly difficult.

Other: I've always been interested in Computer Science, there are lot of hackathons, events, etc. Are conducted. The campus is large but not developed. There's amenity centre -with facilities like good internet speed for open student clubs Access, student shop for records and uniform, Gym, recreational room. CITTIC for startup incubation, etc. There is University library and college library to explore books and study. The campus life is quite interesting because there are no extracurricular clubs other than a few sports. There are various large festivals that take place every year. The libraries here are extremely well-maintained. There is a wide variety of books. There is also an annual sporting event. There are some teams completing national and internationally that you follow and join. E. g. Team Horizons and Yeti racing, SAE CUSAT, etc.

Average placements, supporting faculty members, average infrastructure.

Placements: Around 80% of students get placed. Top recruiting companies for our courses are IBM, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Cisco, and Reliance. The highest package is 20 Lacs, the lowest package is 3 Lacs, and the average package is 5 Lacs. The top role offered in our course is SDE.

Infrastructure: The labs and library are well-furnished. There is a very good environment for studies in the library. The hostel is well-furnished, but the food is very bad. Also, the behavior of the warden is very bad. There are not too many facilities for sports and games.

Faculty: The teachers are very well-qualified, but not that supportive. The course is not that relevant, and it is somehow relevant to being industry-ready. The semester exams are not that difficult, and the passing percentage is around 50%.

Other: I have a bit of interest in Electronics, that's why I chose this course. There should be more industry-based subjects in the courses. We frequently have a lot of events like Hackathons, Music nights, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and we can ask anything to them. They are too friendly to us. Teachers are well-qualified professionals with outstanding knowledge. The course curriculum is well-relevant and easily understandable to all. It makes students industry-ready but needs to improve. Semesters are not difficult. If we study hard, we can get it. The pass percentage is 40 with an internal of 35.

Other: I like to study about electronics; that's why I chose the course. It teaches us good knowledge about technology. Practical needs to be improved more than theory.
