TKM College of Engineering - [TKMCE]: 2 answered questions

Which college has the best chemical engineering department in Kerala: GEC Thrissur, NIT Calicut or TKM College?

Utkarsh Kumar

28 Aug 21

You should have a clear idea of what you are going to pursue after the four years. This way you can focus on a particular college accordingly for your undergraduate degree.

If you are aspiring to get placed then go for NIT Calicut. Mostly 3 to 5 core companies often visit for chemical engineering branch with very decent packages.
The campus life is worth living at NIT Calicut. You can enjoy various games at the hostel and special evening clubs are designed basically for holistic development.
Another factor that makes NIT Calicut stand out is the politically passive environment where you can fully concentrate on your academics and engross yourself in the academics-related clubs along with some co-curricular activities.

The only disadvantage that NIT Calicut has is the weak alumni network due to the newly formed campus as compared to GEC Thrissur.

Along with the placements, the brand name of NIT when added to your resume can help you immensely for your future professional life. So think twice and consider all the factors before taking final admissions.

Choosing between two colleges can be a difficult decision, and it ultimately depends on various factors such as your passion to learn and attain knowledge, personal preferences, career goals, and individual circumstances.

Here are some key points to consider when comparing the B.Tech Computer Science programs at TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) and Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT):

Ranking and reputation: CUSAT has been ranked higher than TKMCE in various national and international rankings, such as the NIRF ranking and the QS World University Rankings. However, it's important to note that both colleges have a good reputation in the academic community and offer quality education in the field of computer science.
Curriculum and course structure: Both colleges offer a comprehensive curriculum and cover core topics in computer science such as programming languages, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and database management.
Faculty and teaching quality: Both colleges have experienced faculty members who are experts in their respective fields. However, the quality of teaching may vary between the two colleges, and it's important to consider factors such as the faculty-student ratio, teaching methods, and student feedback when evaluating the teaching quality.
Campus life and facilities: TKMCE is a private college, while CUSAT is a government-owned institution. As a result, campus life and facilities may vary between the two colleges. Factors such as hostel facilities, sports facilities, library, and extracurricular activities may play a role in your decision-making process.
Placements and career prospects: Both colleges have a good track record of placements in the field of computer science. However, it's important to research the placement statistics and the types of companies that visit the campus to see which college offers better career prospects for you.

Both TKMCE and CUSAT offer quality B.Tech Computer Science programs, and the decision ultimately depends on your personal preferences and career goals. It's recommended to research and compare the colleges based on the factors mentioned above and make an informed decision.
