Their is no internship fair and all the offers are for full time employees. The geographic location of the college, being close to Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram puts in an added advantage.

For students securing a merit seat, the tuition fees is INR 35,000, while for management quota, the tuition fees is set to INR65,000 annually.

The entire campus is strictly plastic-free. Various technical and cultural clubs such as Google DSC, IEDC and NSS students chapter are actively running in the campus.

The college follows a rigorous curriculum of theory and application that inculcates the ability to solve problem both individually and in teams.
