Gurudeva Institute of Science & Technology, Puthuppally

Admission: The teachers at this college are really good. They give us opportunities to showcase our projects at the tech fest. We also get to organize cultural and technical events, which helps us learn hands-on stuff that books can't teach. It's cool how they focus on our overall growth here.

Placement: Placements for mechanical students are limited, with only a few IT companies coming to hire. If you're in the top 10, you might get lucky. Most students have to look for internships on their own. The college has a placement cell, but it's not that helpful.

Campus: The college's campus is pretty big, around 10 acres in total. Each department has its own building. The labs have all new equipment and get upgrades regularly. It's nice and quiet since the campus is away from the main road, which is great for studying. Plus, there's Wi-Fi everywhere on campus.

Admission: The teaching here is pretty good. But I gotta say, once you hit the 3rd semester, things get tough. They've got this national service thing for students, which is cool. Placements haven't been great lately, they've been dropping for the past few years. But the ones who do get placed end up in some big companies. Not a lot of internships available, though. The percentage of students getting placed is under 50%, which is lower than expected.

Placement: I'm currently studying at GISAT Engineering College and they offer a variety of B.Tech courses such as civil, mechanical, and computer engineering. The student population here is on the lower side but there are some good recruiting companies like Wipro and Infopark that visit for placements. Computer science is the most popular course among students. Unfortunately, they don't offer degree courses.

Campus: There are lots of classrooms, labs, and Wi-Fi here. The library is pretty good too. The only downsides are no canteen or hostel since there aren't many students here. But there are medical facilities and a playground. And there are plenty of computers around.
