What Students Say

Likes

College has a great deal of fine faculties. Academically a very good space for students as the campus is student friendly
Placements is the main attraction of the college. Companies of dealing with various engineering aspects visit the college for academically and technically skilled students.
This year the uniform also changed and that too looks good comparing to the other government engineering colleges ran in kerala

Dislikes

The college has a poor infrastructure. Only got two main blocks functioning and the population in the college is pretty packed due to the same reason
Lack of college events. There are only two main events commonly for the whole college namely a tech fest and arts and sports events are also conducted
Library is not equipped with all the needed study material or the issue is that there is no sufficient quantity of the books that are available.

Course Curriculum Overview

I am currently studying in a newly introduced branch Electronics engineering specified in VLSI design and technology. This is a demanding field and companies are developing the semiconductor field and would help me in the aspect of placement if a decent cgpa score is displayed.

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 45000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Ansys , intel, synopsis and many other companies accept interns .But an exquisite resume should be presented. Internships are provided but it is generally really hard to get through and get an opportunity .

Placement Experience

Placements are the main attraction of the college. Despite the poor infrastructure and lack of events compared to other colleges students opt the college for placements. The off campus placements are also pretty good.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure depends on the seat in which you are studying. The classification is mainly merit management and NRI quota. Fee vary according to the ranking , reservation and seat type in which you enter the college. As NRI seat doesn't depend upon the rank you get thee fee structure has a great difference comparing to merit and management.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus Life depends on the perspective you take.Students are generally sociable and teachers are friendly too.There is an ample amount of clube that work in social, technical, sports and artistic sides.You can join according to your interests. Workshops are conducted for the progress of students though none of them are free it is actually worth it to participate.

Admission

The general procedure is to get a decent rank in the KEAM examination and will also depend upon the branch you are opting for and the type of seat you could afford too. The cut off may vary depending on the reservation system that persists.Going through previous year cut off's of KEAM would give a clear picture.

Faculty

4.5

The teachers are available at times of needy. Majority of the faculty has a great knowledge in the subject and makes it easier for the students to rely on the college teachers only rather than opting any other online platform or any other alternatives. There is a sufficient number of staff for the residing students in the college.

Is engineering here worth it?

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

Placement Experience:

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.

Review of TOC H institute of science and technology

Likes

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
