Remarks

Best College in Kerala for CS students. The college infrastructure isn't much good. The college is small to be honest. But the quality of students in technical knowledge and tremendous placement stats outshines it completely. That's why I opted this college even though I had a good rank

Course Curriculum Overview

The college follows Kerala Technical Universities curriculum and so it's not the worst in my opinion. But still not the best. As I am a first year student, I would say the subjects are not very interesting. I opted computer science and I have to study all the subjects the first year including Mechanical, Civil, Chemistry, physics, Electrical, Graphics etc. That's the only problem I guess. And about Lab, Model Engineering College (MEC) isn't the best at providing tools. And like all KTU colleges, there's a lot to write in your record book

Placement Experience

Model Engineering College is THE BEST college in Kerala in terms of placements for Compute Science and Electronics department. Literally. Last year, the college had almost 100% placement in the CE department. This is because the quality of students. They have impressive technical knowledge in the field. Big names like Google, Microsoft,Nvdia, Adobe etc have hired from the college in the past years. If you're looking for a college for good placement, MEC is the place

College Events

Excel is the techno managerial flagship fest of the college and it's first of its kind in India with the first edition held in 2001. With a lot of technical competitions, events an fun, Excel days are the best days in the college. Layatharang and Chakravyuh are the Arts and Sports Fest of the college which is also nice. It's an intra college event

Fee Structure And Facilities

Since it's a Govt Self Financing College, the fees for State Merit seat is Rs. 35,000 per annum. For Management seat, it is RS. 65,000 and nearly Rs. 100,000 for NRI seats. Compared to other Govt Colleges, it is higher for the merit seat.

Fees and Financial Aid

The College offer fee waiver for Top ranked students. Also the college helps to worthy students to claim scholarships by making them aware of it. Laptops are provided for scheduled class at free/ discount rates

Campus Life

3.5

Labs (except EC and CS labs) aren't at par with the other colleges in my opinion. It's not the worst but still not the best The college gives a lot support to sports and have Sports Fest in which College houses compete. They college also have social welfare societies like NSS, Thanal and Bhoomitra Sena which gives a sense of humanity to the students

Alumni/Alumna

Yeah. One of the best things about MEC. Seniors helps the juniors a lot in developing their technical knowledge. Ex MECians play a major role in the fantastic placement stats of the college. They influence a lot to bring placement drives to their beloved college

Admission

I had appeared for KEAM which was held in May 2019, after my CBSE board exams. Then after getting the results, I submitted my +2 results to KEAM website. After normalization of KEAM marks and CBSE marks for PCM, I was given a KEAM rank. Then I had to list down my preferred colleges in order at the KEAM website and I was allotted a college according to my rank (There are a total of three allotments). Then I took admission at the college

Faculty

4.5

Faculty of the college are nice and does their best. They teach with passion. Atleast most of them. And the faculty does a lot support for the placement cell of the college which is the best part of the college

Likes

All the teachers are well qualified and equipped to teach but the quality of teaching differs as per individual.

Dislikes

The say of students in matters concerning them or others is nil. We have very little say as the management takes all decisons.
Teachers have ego and superiority issues between themselves which might affect the children in 4th year,project phases.
Fests,events and functions are not upto any expectations.Schools in trivandrum have better events than our college.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible from 7th semester to sit for interviews. The pod.ai app helps us in making the resume and calculating a cgpa to appear for the intwrviews. The pod.ai registration fees is 500?. Companies such as nissan,infosys,commandtech,bimlabs,gulfasia etc has visited . And the highest package was 11 LPA and lowest was 3 LPA

The teachers here are very friendly and very helpful
The climate here is also very peacefull and very good atmosphere to study
The students here are from everywhere so there is a big diversity in the culture

Dislikes

There is a lack of public transportation system like railway station here
There are lots of insects and others things here which is very disturbing during summer season
The main problem the students here are going through is the bad quality of hostel food that we get here

Our college is a NAAC accredited college and lots of companies come here to recruit our students . Last year one of a students who studied here got a really big placement of 48 lakhs per annum and there is a placement cell available here in the campus which tries to get all the students placement like these !!

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA
