The infrastructure and lab facility is also good.

Placements: So many companies come to campus, including TCS, Deloitte, HCL, and the Aditya Birla group. They offer a variety of positions, with salaries ranging from an average of 5 lakhs to a high of 15 lakhs. The placement rate for human resources is 50%, which is higher than the average of 70% for finance and 95% for marketing.

Infrastructure: The overall college experience at CUSAT is awesome. The college provides a lot of opportunities for students to explore their interests. There are many clubs and organizations on campus, including SEDS and TedX. CUSAT also has an annual arts and sports festival. The college provides a gym, cafeterias, and a library with a wide variety of study materials. The library is very helpful.

Faculty: The faculty members to student ratio is 15:1. The faculty members are approachable, but we have to build the interactive relationship with the professors ourself. Each faculty member is good at teaching their subject and providing knowledge. There are three internals (20+20+20) and the best two of the three count. After that, there is an end-semester exam of 60 marks each semester. We have to complete at least one internship to be eligible for placement programs.

CUSAT SOE: college of dreams.

Placements: About 85 to 90% of students in my branch, which is computer science engineering, get placed. The highest package was 11 LPA. Top recruiters are Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, IBM, TCS, etc. Every student goes for internships in their own way. No industrial visits are done by the college.

Infrastructure: As a general category student, it was difficult to get a room in the campus hostels. Rooms are allotted based on distance from your hometown and your reservation category. The campus hostels are pretty great, and they have a variety of food options. Students from outside India stay in a separate campus hostel called the International Hostel CUSAT.

Faculty: The faculty members are great, but we depend on YouTube classes and an AI model for most of our assignments. The teaching quality is good, but the semesters are pretty tough. If you spend at least an hour a day focusing on your studies, you can make it through.

Other: The college has a dedicated placement cell that has the support of companies all over the world. This is one of the major reasons why I chose this college.

Only for placements, this college is good; for other facilities and infrastructure, it's very bad.

Placements: Placements here are pretty good and I would say that this college is very underrated and overall educational quality is fantastic. The alumni here are at very high positions. Students are getting placed in very big companies like IBM, TCS, Infosys, etc.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure and hostel facility are very poor. There is no proper sports facility and it's a very food-prone area. The financial condition of the college is very poor compared to the main campus. The college doesn't have its own hostel facilities.

Faculty: The teaching staff are well-experienced, with more than 20 years of teaching experience. The staff are very friendly and interactive. The curriculum is not that great since here the semester duration is very short and a lot of portions are left.

Other: The sports facilities here are very poor.

College with bliss of nature. Satisfied with faculty, placements.Infrastructure needs to be improved

Placements: College has nice placement options. Students are doing internships both online and offline. Teachers are providing good support for projects. Senior students got placed in various companies with salary packages of 15 LPA, 11 LPA, and all. The highest package of this year was 15 LPA. Many among them got placed with 4 LPA.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is not that good. As this is a rural campus of CUSAT, it does not meet the expectations. The library is good. It is easier for MCA students to access the library facility as it is just near the classroom. The canteen is fine, not that great. The sports facility is average.

Faculty: Teaching quality is good. They are all reputed ones with years of experience. Semester exams are going in a very systematic and transparent manner. The pass percentage is above 98%. Teachers do support students whenever required. Evaluation and result publication is in a very speedy way.

Other: The course is having good placement options. Moreover, CUSAT is a very reputed university. It is having high ranking globally. Students from various parts of the world reach here for academics. Infrastructure needs to be improved. Extracurricular activities and events should be enhanced a little bit more.

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.
