Beneath the arch

The college atmosphere is very pleasant. Even after leaving college I go there during weekends for a peaceful atmoshpere. Once a GECian always a GECian they said. It is very true. There is a lack of a good indoor stadium.

The course curriculum is vast. It is of too much burden to the students. Within 4 months the entire syllabus of a semester is to be completed by the teachers which put them also in burden. Also practical knowledge of the students are not up to the mark as the syllabus is more focussed on theory part.

The placement was about 80% in the last year. The placement cell is very active. The college also provides internship on different subjects. In my department the subject was VLSI. It was aimed at providing extra knowledge to students and it did not have any stipend as such.

There will be an annual tech fest named Dyuthi and an annual cultural fest named Confluence. Apart from this each department organise their own fests. Sports meets are also held in the college. Cricket and football tournaments are organised yearly once.

Being a government college the fee structure is fixed by the government. It is around Rs.8000 per semester. Apart from this the semester exam registration fees is about 1600 for each semester. Thus the fees are very much feasible

The college provides scholarship for economically backward students as well as for students belonging to SC/STs. The exam fees is completely levied for these students. I am not aware about any loan facilities available in college.

Extracurricular activities are conducted yearly. There will be yearly sports activites department wise as well as year wise. The GSL and GPL tournaments are conducted in IPL formats after conducting auctions.

I did not opt for college hostel. The hostel admission is based on distance from home. Since my home is just around 50 kms away I could not get admission to hostel during the first three years. The infrastructure in college hostel is fine.

Thhe main source of fund for programmes in college are alumnis. They are very active. Also many alumis have startups which recruit lot of freshers from this college itself. They are also active for many social service activities.

Wrote Kerala Entrance Examination. Secured a rank of 1800. Got admission to NSS Engineering College through first allotment. Then by second allotment got admission to GEC Thrissur but not to my preferred stream. It was in third allotment that I got admission to my preferred stream.

The faculty in our college is really good. They are very helpful and caring. They give permissions for all sort of events to be conducted in college. Even thoigh at times there have been strikes organised against some of them the rest are very hard working.
