Verified Review

Academics

Teachers are helpful but certain teachers are not very helpful as they have been here for many years and are not replaced. They are a bit lazy because it's government-funded. The management also shows interest in students. Circulum is just fine depending on ktu but soon college will be autonomous. The pass percentage is above 70.

Strong industry connections for jobs

Verified Review

Academics

Very knowledgeable teachers with a very good helping mentality. The course curriculum covers almost all the basic concepts and gives the students a wider range of opportunities. The curriculum followed is as per the KTU University. More than 95 percent of students pass the semester exams.

Internship support for all students

Verified Review

Academics

Teachers are good and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good. Classes could be bunked, if needed. The college does not make students industry ready. It is just engineering. You will get a good campus life, if management doesn't spoil your life. So don't mess with management.

Have a question related to MACE Kothamangalam ?

Hi,


MACE provides excellent placements in almost all the courses,ECE being one of them. They don't provide internships, the students themselves have to find them. But when it comes to placements,the highest salary package offered here is 10 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA.


I hope this helps,


All the best.

Hello aspirant. NRI quota seats or managements seats are handled by the management. Usually the fees would be a bit high compared to that of admissions through the normal process. Select the private colleges and choose the one you wish to get admitted in. Only some of the private colleges have management quota seats. So figure out if that college has managment quota seat and talk to them. If yes, then as soon as possible submit certain documents where the student's blood relative should be residing in abroad. That is for NRI proof.  Certain other documents like aadhar card, pan card, I'd proofs of relative etc. Then you need to pay certain amount, you would get the seat.

Hope this helps
