    Enjoy! The life is unpredictable.
    Placements: The college has a good amount of graduates, with 65 passing out from the college and having good jobs. The highest package offered by a company in our college is 20 LPA, and the lowest was 2 LPA. The top recruiting companies are insurance and hotel management companies, locally as hotel managers and event managers.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite good; don't expect too much. It is kind of good. The Wi-Fi is available sometimes, and the speed is also not good. The labs are well-equipped, and the items are also there. Hostel facilities are not good; better to take a room. The sports room is there but not in use.
    Faculty: The faculty are very good and well-experienced, but some are new and don't have experience. The course curriculum is good but doesn't make any sense. Passing the exam is easy, and the pass percentage of the college is 85, which is good.

    Low placements, average facilities, and faculty.
    Placements: I personally don't like the placement at all because first of all there is no fully operational cell and not good companies visit campus for placements. Only local companies visit. In that, the median offered package is 3 LPA. Internships are also not provided by the college, and we have to find one on our own.
    Infrastructure: In my opinion, the facilities are also average; the buildings have become a bit rusty, and there is a need to renovate the classrooms as well. The hostels are at a good level and provide us with amenities. Medical facilities are not available till now. Some parts of the college are still developing.
    Faculty: The teachers are knowledgeable and experienced, but only some of them are good at teaching and making us ready for the future. The course focuses on theoretical learning and examination, and there is no check if we inculcate any skill or not. Online and offline study materials are provided by professors only.

    I always want my campus so energetic and enthusiastic like when i studied that much only love.
    Placements: Only the last year student are applicable for campus placement. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Infosys, ONGC ,L&T etc visit during campus placement. Highest placement is around 40 LPA and average package is around 7 LPA. I am planning for masters after my degree.
    Infrastructure: My college is "COLLEGE WITH A DIFFERENCE" in every single aspect which I should love ever in my lifetime. It was a residential college located in the deep beauty nature of Kerala near to Kochin but in standard there is no compromise we conducted international seminars and international foreign trips and innovative management fest during our college days. Horse riding, gym, sports time everything social activities and yoga classes were conducted by the college in order to increase the inner talent of students. Even we students enjoyed those time the most, it helps me in the lot of ways to explore myself my physical and mental strength.
    Faculty: Faculties are very supportive and always helps students to gain extra knowledge about their field. Ankit Patel sir from aeronautical department is the best faculty coz he always motivates us to take part in events, research papers and competition. Exams are moderate with 40 marks for internal evaluation and 60 marks for external evaluation 50 marks for practical and lab subject.

    Im a bit dissatisfied on the previous year student’s placements

Almost 82 percent of students got internship and have worked in different sectors for 2 months. Senior sales executives, Management trainee, Store management were the top roles offered.
    Infrastructure: Students have full wifi accessible campus and ai integrated attendance systems in classrooms. Computer labs and library are good enough to study. The food in hostel is good when compared to other hostels. There is an operating team for every activities in college like for arts and sports. There is arts and sports lot who will work all the activities to conduct related games and program smoothly. And there is a doctor every evening for basic treatments. All other basic medicines will be available here.
    Faculty: Semesters are not that much difficult but for our batch we are on the syllabus of Calicut university. This syllabus is not that much updated and from 2016 it is the same. Curriculums have to be upgraded. Some of the faculties like Ranjith Karat are more than excellent in teaching.
    Other: I have chosen this course because of my interest in business only. The syllabus should be more advanced than now, and it should include practical sessions. Events and programs happening here like I-lead are very much interesting and the surroundings are naturally good. No scholarships for us. Students interested in extracurricular activities will be promoted on their interest.

Most of them are helpful, and the college support staff are also very supportive. The curriculum mainly focuses on lectures and building our theoretical knowledge. I remember only one industrial visit being organized in our two-year tenure.
