Why is MEC Thrikkakara opted for by Keralites more often than CUSAT SOE?

Having friends studying in both institutes, I can say that MEC has a better (on-campus) placement record than SOE CUSAT.

• CUSAT is also good overall but passing papers is such a difficult challenge. Only a few candidates are eligible to participate in placements.
• As a result, most of the companies hesitate to visit campus for placements. But students are doing well in off-campus placements.
• This institution was originally part of Cochin University, and it was regarded as one of the university's best colleges in terms of amenities, location, and excellent faculty.
• However, this college, along with many others, has recently merged to become Kerala Technical University, resulting in a drop in demand for admission.

This has improved the facilities and educational quality and certificate value for CUSAT at both campuses. The top scorers tend to opt for CUSAT rather than KTU.
