Remarks :
I chose this college because I was allotted this college according to my rank in the joint entrance examination advanced exam. There is no other specific or particular reason behind it. One advantage I have considered is the environment it is situated in. This college is in Kerala, and this state is also kind of near to my home state. Negative aspect is that it is one of the newly established IITs. At the time I joined the college, there was not a single batch that passed out. So I was not sure about the placements. But I don't regret my decision of joining this college. The faculty is good and even the placements and internships are also good. However the infrastructure and the facilities are not like those of old IITs. These are still under development. But as of now the facilities are good. The admission process is only through the rank you secure in the JEE Advanced Examination.
Course Curriculum Overview :
My first option was Computer Science but due to my rank I could not get CS branch. My second preference was Electrical because compared to the other branches my interests were aligned in this particular branch. The faculty here is well qualified with an all round experience in teaching in various other institutions and many of them also have a lot of experience in the industry. They share valuable information regarding their work, so that we also get some real world experience rather than just theory in notebooks. There are no issues regarding the faculty and unlike local colleges, the batch size will not be enormous here. There are hardly 60 students in the Electrical Engineering and we have Teaching Assistants for almost all the courses for additional help. Odd semester starts in July and lasts up to November and there is a semester break in the December. Even semester starts in January and lasts till April. And then there is a summer break for almost three months. Two tests and one end semester will be conducted in each semester and the difficulty level is average. If one is attentive in the class and takes notes, he could easily score a good grade in the exams.
Placement Experience :
The placements in the college are quite good. A student can secure internships even in his second year if he has good skills in coding. The stipend of the internships are also attractive. Students are eligible for campus placements from the third year of the degree. The no of companies is also good. Average salary offered is about 8 lakh per annum and the highest is around 22 lakh.
College Events :
Life at the campus is quite good because of the environment and trees around. It is so refreshing to take walks in the campus in the evening. The weather troubles a bit as there are rains most of the time at this place. Most of the time you need to carry umbrella or a rain coat. There are also so many clubs Technical, Cultural, Literary, Arts, Sports in the campus and anybody is open to start new clubs in the campus. There is an annual fest in the campus called Petrichor which usually takes place during the even semester and apart from that there are celebrations and fests during the odd semesters. There are sports competitions held as intra college competitions with different teams in a variety of sports. Many cultural events also take place such as Dance, Singing competitions.
Campus Life :
The campus infrastructure is satisfactory because it is still a new IIT. A new campus is under construction with lot of facilities it will probably take one more year to get it ready. But the current campus is also good. There is a small gym in the hostel, Wi-fi is available all the time in the hostel, mess and also the entire college. There are not too many sports facilities in this college. All the grounds are still under construction but as of now temporarily there is a basket ball court, a football ground, volley ball court and also a badminton court in the college. They usually play cricket in the football ground itself. There are also facilities for Athletics. There is a coach for Athletics too. Regarding the labs the equipment it quite good. Even the computer labs are well equipped and are open all the time through out the week. Library is not as big as those of old IITs but still they are good.
