Best college in Kerala, but don't have high expectations.

Placements: I am not sure about the placements, but I have heard they are average because of our course. Placements are comparatively low for the batch. At least 15 out of 40 people get placed every year. I think about 30% of students get placed, but architecture is a course where students don't really focus on getting placed.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure, though old, is really good. I am staying outside the college, but I've heard that some parts of the hostel are not that great, while others are really good. In my department, I am not satisfied with the washrooms, but other classrooms are good. It has a department library and also a department store, but getting something from there is kind of a long process.

Faculty: Most of the faculty is great and very knowledgeable. Course urriculum is based on continuous evaluation with never-ending assignments. Exams are comparatively easy, except for the theory of structures. One have to look out for that subject. Also, don't have high expectations. It's a roller coaster of highs and lows. But from what I have heard, it is better than most private colleges.

Other: I chose this course because I like to learn something creative. As of now, we do fewer things related to architecture, but it will surely come in the years to come, so let's hope it will be more fun then. Think a lot before choosing this course because we can regret it many times. College life is pretty chill, and there are loads of extracurricular activities, be it sports, dance, music, etc.

Really good infrastructure and faculty.

Placements: When it comes to placements, the percentage of students being placed is really low (almost 12 out of 40 students), as the course itself demands skilled architects and many prefer to start a firm of their own. The highest package of last year was 9L per annum.

Infrastructure: The architecture department is quite different from the rest. Wi-Fi is available. Computer Labs are also open every day. The library includes a wide variety of books, including old theses. Hostel food is really good. Basketball, table tennis, cycling, gym, cricket, football, etc., are available too.

Faculty: The faculty is really helpful. The course is quite challenging, but if you enjoy sketching for hours, then it's really interesting as well. Portions are well covered. Exams are never as difficult compared to other B. Tech courses. The difficulty arises when you have a bunch of work with the same deadline.

Other: The college is always open and active, even during nighttime hours. Technical fest, Cultural fest, art fest, etc., are some of the main events. Plenty of scholarship options are also available. You can seek help from the helpdesk for that. Also, many workshops are organized, which help provide hands-on experience and enhance your portfolio.

Good aesthetics and good faculties. Fees structure depends on your quota.

Placements: As this architecture course, our college provides zero placements, but for other courses there are many. And in our course, our seventh semester is an internship. And for that, we should apply and get into a firm that is fully individual. So it's zero placement for architecture students.

Infrastructure: The course is good, and we have a good faculty team with great support for both academics and extracurricular activities inside the department. Fully wifi college, good classrooms, one good library and also a large auditorium, and also a canteen and 2-3 small tea shops inside college run by third parties. Coming to the men's hostel is a 4/5 rating. But for ladies, it is a 2/5 rating. But is cheap, with a maximum of 4,000 per month, which includes a food room and other facilities. Ladies hostel has play courts and a gym inside it.

Faculty: This part is best. As college is under KTU, the semester exams and results will be on time. Faculty are also a great support for us. They will provide short notes and presentations for late-minute preparations too. And architecture is the course in college that has the highest pass percentage.

Other: As you come for the course, you will only get the course and some other programs; the real exposure needed for the course won't be available in the college. You will get a great aesthetic college, good academics and a little bit of programming. The main office always compares B.Arch. course with B.Tech. course.

Poor infrastructure in the architecture block. Needs more improvement on campus.

Placements: Giving fake offers at the time of admission and creating the opposite of what was promised. I don’t know the exact number of recruiting companies for the course in architecture in our college. Many students got good companies for internships, but I don’t know much about it.

Infrastructure: No canteen, no Wi-Fi in college or hostel. Poor hostel facilities with bad toilets and infrastructure. Shit food with no taste, waste of money. No proper medical facilities. Poor sports grounds and lack of qualified coaches for sports activities.

Faculty: Some faculties are good, but most of them are of poor quality and lack experience. Delivering topics in architecture without experience can't properly explore the course. It can’t deliver students the proper architecture quality. Even the faculty is not prepared for average quality.

Other: Architecture is interesting and helps in problem-solving and creative thinking. However, there aren’t many events, and there is no connection between B.Tech and B.Arch. Events are only for B.Tech.

One of the best campus life in Kerala.

Placements: 5 out of 35 in my batch are placed in LnT this year. More placements are expected in the 10th semester. Placement training is offered from Career and Placement Guidance Cell of the college for all departments. Placement representatives are chosen from all departments, and together with placement coordinators (selected faculty members), CGPU cell of CET aids students in placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: College hostels provide basic facilities for stay, food, and recreation for around 3000 for LH and 4000 for MH per month, including rent and mess bill. The ladies' hostel is inside the campus, and the men's hostel is outside but in close proximity. Hostel curfew is present until 9:30 pm.

Faculty: Student-initiated events and programs are plenty, and teachers are more or less mentors and guides. Teachers are qualified, and many are Ph.D. holders. Exams are not that hard, and understanding previous year questions really helps. Exams are based on the syllabus available from the KTU site.

The best option if looking for an amazing college life, great placement packages.

Placements: The college accepts only the top-ranking students in the state through the entrance examination. The college is the top No.1 in architecture in the state. Only 40 seats are available which can be attained only through government merit allotment. Our college offers various programs in engineering, management, and architecture degrees. The top recruiting companies for our course are L&T, ABB, ACC Cement, etc. The college is the best in the state and the top 11 in the country for architecture.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department is quite fine. They provide full-time Wi-Fi access, a graphic lab, Carpentry workshop, library, archive, conference hall, and a seminar hall. The department will be accessible until 9 pm to all students, which can be made use of by the students. The college has its own hostel and the students with lower income and longer distance are given priority during allotment. The ladies' hostel has an occupancy of 800 students and the men's hostel with 400 students.

Faculty: The faculty appointed in the department are highly qualified with at least a Master's degree and work experience. They help us out in various projects and works as needed. There are a total of 10 semesters and follows as per the KTU syllabus which is quite fine. But you know all exams are tough and require hard work. There is a pass percentage of more than 85.

Other: There are a lot of cultural events hosted in the college. The college also gives importance to sports as well.
