Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and most students pass with flying colors. If you want a job after college, acing your exams is key. We have two exams every year, and you just need 50 marks to pass. But I gotta say, those exams are pretty tough!
Placement: So in our college, around 414 students from our batch got jobs out of 2000 total placements. The highest package offered was 68 LPA, the lowest was 5 LPA, and the average was 16 LPA.
Campus: The college had free Wi-Fi, and there were lots of sports and fun activities to do. The coaches were helpful, and the food in the canteen was tasty. It was convenient to grab a quick meal there.

Admission: The teachers here are really friendly and always ready to help. Most of them have studied at top colleges like NITs and IITs. The courses are well-planned and not too hard. But the exams are tough and need a lot of studying.
Placement: Placements start from the 7th semester, and around 90% of students get placed. The average salary is about 10 LPA, with the highest going up to 50 lakhs and more. Companies like Nvidia, Amazon, Accenture, and others are big on campus for placements.
Campus: The Wi-Fi at this college is always on point, and you can get it all day, every day. The labs have all the tools you need, the classrooms are neat and tidy, and there's a library on-campus with lots of books and online resources.

Admission: The teachers here are pretty helpful, but some seem to have their favorites. The teaching is good overall, but the semester exams are tough only about 5.5% pass. The mid-semester exams are easier, though.
Placement: The job placements on campus are not very high. Most Computer Science and Engineering students get an average package of around 6 LPA. The highest package was 20 LPA. Some students find internships on their own, especially in areas like machine learning. About 30% of students end up getting placed.
Campus: The Wi-Fi here can be iffy, it cuts out a lot. But the classrooms and department buildings are pretty good. They're cool with sports and games, but the food in the dining hall can be hit or miss. Lately, it's gotten better though. The health center is alright too.

Admission: The teachers are cool and know their stuff well. They're helpful and you can learn a lot from them. The courses are awesome, kinda like the ones at IIIT Hyderabad. To get job-ready, you gotta work hard. Exams are okay some are tough, some are not. But most students pass with flying colors.
Placement: IIIT Kottayam did pretty well with placements in 202324 despite the tough job market. The highest salary offered was 45 LPA, while the average was around 12 LPA (both on and off campus). The lowest salary was about 4 LPA. However, the overall placement rate dropped a bit compared to last year. Companies like NVIDIA, HP, IBM, and Media.NET came for recruitment. Students can grab internships from the 2nd year if they have a good profile and projects. The teaching style is great here.
Campus: Classrooms have good Wi-Fi and digital boards. Labs have all the equipment we need, like computers with Ethernet connections. The hostel is okay, but there are bugs because we're in a green area. The food in the mess changed recently because more students came and there's not enough kitchen space. But we can always grab food at the Milma Shop or Scoops canteens. We have lots of sports events, but there are some restrictions.

Admission: The teachers here are really friendly and always ready to help. They do a good job teaching, and I don't have any issues with that. The courses cover all the important stuff and keep up with what's happening in the industry. The exams can be tough, but most people pass without too much trouble.
Placement: The job scene here is cool. Lots of companies come for online recruitment. The pay is not bad - most folks get around INR 7-10 LPA. Some even score up to INR 58 LPA. Big names like Amazon and Palo Alto show up for placements.
Campus: The classrooms are nice and the college provides what you need for studying. The food in the mess is just okay, but that's normal for most colleges. The sports facilities could be better since the campus is still new. They're working on it, so hopefully it gets better soon. Right now, it's not the best.

Admission: The teachers here have lots of experience in computer science and they're super helpful. The course covers all the basics and practical skills you need. The grading is tough, so getting good grades is hard. You need at least 30% to pass each subject.
Placement: Most students got placed, around 90%. The highest salary offered was 58 LPA, with an average of 12 LPA. Last year, 72 companies came for placements. You needed a CGPA of 7.5 to be eligible. They don't have on-campus internships. Students could apply for roles like SDE and SWE during placements.
Campus: The classrooms and dorms here are really nice. We get Wi-Fi all over the campus, which is awesome. The labs have AC, ethernet ports, and power plugs at every desk. In the dorms, we have 3 people sharing a room, and each wing has washing machines and a water purifier. The dining hall is close to the classes, and it's big enough for everyone. They serve a variety of dishes from different parts of India, and the food isn't too spicy or too bland. There's a medical center on campus open from 9 am to 5 pm, and consultations are free, but you have to pay for meds.

Admission: The professors here are all super smart with doctorates and patents. But not all of them are great teachers. Only a few are really good at teaching. Most classes are just for showing up, not really for learning. You gotta learn most stuff on your own. The subjects in the program are good, no useless ones like chemistry. We have exams almost every month, which can be stressful. The exams are pretty tough, but manageable.
Placement: Most students from previous batches got placed, almost everyone. My batch is still studying, so no placement info yet. But I guess the average salary will be around 1012 LPA. Many companies visit for CS students. The highest salary offered was 56 LPA.
Campus: Living off-campus as a freshman. Facilities are okay, but don't fall for the 1 gbps Wi-Fi lie. Can't play games or use OTT on campus or hostel Wi-Fi, so VPNs are a must. Wi-Fi is super slow and always cuts out. Food is decent.

Admission: The courses here are solid, following IIITH's curriculum. The teachers are nice, and the exams aren't too overwhelming. It's a chill environment for students. As an IIIT, the focus is on practical stuff like CS, communication, and personal growth.
Placement: The job placements are pretty good here at the moment. The median salary is around 10 to 12 LPA, and the average is close to 12 LPA. The location and economic downturn are why there aren't tons of companies hiring. You can find more details about placements on the college website.
Campus: The hostels here are pretty nice with good facilities. But if you're a new student, it's better to find a place off-campus in your first year because there aren't many hostels on campus. The labs are great, classrooms are good, and the Wi-Fi is better than most. The food in the mess is decent too.

Admission: The teachers are super helpful with our projects, and Ph.D. scholars assist us in lab activities. The curriculum is good and sets us up for internships. The mid and semester exam papers are challenging but doable. The pass rate is around 5 CGPA.
Placement: In my cybersecurity course, my seniors are the first batch, so I can't talk about placements. But I've heard that core placements are going well this year. Getting internships while studying or on breaks is super helpful. It gives you real work experience and skills. Plus, it can even lead to a full-time job after you graduate. Also, making connections at industry events and on LinkedIn can help you find job opportunities.
Campus: The facilities here are really good. We have separate classes and labs, and the Wi-Fi works fine. The library is small, but we still get what we need. The classrooms have AC, which is nice. The food facilities are okay. And the sports facilities are great we have separate grounds for each sport.

Admission: The courses in CSE really teach you practical stuff that can land you a good job. All the professors are super smart with PhDs from top universities. They've created a cool coding vibe here with the students.
Placement: The placements here were great! Almost everyone who went for placements got a job. Big companies like Nvidia, Teknion, Media.net, and Z-Scale came for placements, offering an average salary of 1214 LPA. The placement rules were fair and student-friendly.
Campus: The hostels here are top-notch, offering amazing views. It can get super hot in December and May, but the college does a good job of keeping us cool. They've got great canteens and sports grounds too. Love it here!
