“Kerala University: Good Academics, Lacks Placements”

Overall Rating:7/10
The campus is beautiful with lots of greenery. The library is well-stocked, and each department has its own mini-library too. The classrooms are clean, and some even have gallery setups. It's a great place to study and chill with friends.
