Model Engineering College, a College with good placements

Our course curriculum for Computer Science is currently a bit outdated and hence I feel it is not sufficient for placements currently. The CS syllabus has been updated for 2024 year onwards and hence any new admissions will find a newer syllabus more tailored towards Aritificial Intelligence and current advances in technology.

Plenty of companies come to MEC for placements. Recent companies which came to MEC were Nvidia, Deloitte, Ericcson, Yahoo!, Factset. There are a good amount of internship possibilities from companies such as Oracle and Visa. Our placement cell is very proactive in ensuring a good amount of companies visit the college for placement oppurtunities.

Campus placements are available and they are generally described to be the highlight of the college. Students begin to become eligible for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. Usually average package is around 7-8 lpa and about 80-90% gain placements.

Fees for merit seat yearly is 40000rs. For management seat, the fees is 70000rs yearly. Exam fees are 2500rs. Scholarships are present if you belong to a under-priviledged category of population. The exam fees is compulsory and must be paid in order to attend the exam.

The campus life has a heavy emphasis on student involvement. Students conduct almost all of the events and programs hosted in the college. Our yearly tech fest EXCEL is conducted by students only and with monetary help by sponsorships. The campus life is thus unlikely to make any student feel left out as all of their talents will be used.

I reside near the college in my friends house. The locality has a good amount of food shops and supermarkets and is thus helpful for students without vehicles. They can walk and reach a supermarket or hotel in 1-2 mins. College also provides hostel facilities for men and women.

I chose MEC over others as I found it to have relatively the best placements. I applied for CUSAT, GEC, TKM and MEC had the better placements. I had gotten into CET but didn't get a merit seat and didn't want to pay the additional fees, so I went back to MEC. The admission process is through the KEAM exam. Selection a college involves a 3 stage priority process, where the college whom you want to get into the most is given the highest priority.

The faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:70. The faculty is nice and understanding and they are happy to resolve our doubts and any questions we may have about the curriculum. There are 6 exams per semester and they are of a good difficulty, getting S grade requires a good amount of effort. Not many students fail in the exams due to the proficiency of the faculty and their promptness in helping the struggling students.

No I did not face any group discussion or interview or written test for the admission in MEC. The admission process was through the KEAM exam, which is a common exam for admission in most of the colleges in Kerala. A good score in KEAM grants entry to more prestigious colleges.
