Strong focus on academic learning.
Placements: Internship opportunities were minimal during our time, though the placement was much better, with around 50 and above percent of students able to secure one. Roles in media, publishing, translating, the education field, etc. were offered, and very limited editor roles were also offered.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure overall was good; no labs as such were there for our department; we had a dedicated library with all the required collections of books and resources necessary during our projects and learning; Wi-Fi access was not there; and the hostel had a basic twin sharing room. The hostel food was average in taste.
Faculty: The faculty members are very good and have a good grasp on the field of Malayalam literature and language, with the majority of them holding a Ph.D. The semester exams feel a bit difficult but has a passing rate of 85%. The curriculum covers all the areas of Malayalam language, linguistics, and literature.

We lived there very happily in joyful atmosphere.

It is not a very great place if you are looking for placements.
Placements: Placement opportunities are not there as such; it's just a master's degree and a few normal teaching opportunities in a few schools, which account for only 20% of the placement for the entire batch or even less. The majority of the students opt for higher studies. No internship opportunities are provided.
Infrastructure: The department area is good, and the most attractive part of the college is the library, which has a vast collection of Malayalam literature and various language resources available. Wi-Fi access is minimal. Hostel facilities included the basic mess, accommodation, and a few grounds for sports.
Faculty: The exams are not very difficult and the pass percentage is around 90%. The faculty members are very generous and they try to help as much as possible. The teaching method is more of a traditional approach. The curriculum focuses on Malayalam literature and language and linguistic courses.
