What is the future in IERT?

The outlook isn't too bright, but if you're looking to get a degree without attending classes, it's possible. At least, that's how it was when I was there from 2011 to 2015. I'm not sure about the current situation.

You can focus on other exam preparations since there isn't much academic pressure. This is one way to secure your future if you still want to graduate from here. Plus, it's more affordable than many other colleges.

For CSE students, off-campus placements are an option. Most of my friends landed jobs in Bangalore within six months after graduating. Ultimately, the outcome is up to you.

I went through the B.Tech program at IERT, so I can only speak about that. Sadly, the future isn't too promising at IERT. The institute has been declining over time. I remember when over half of the students used to get jobs, as we could also join placement drives in other colleges in Lucknow and Allahabad. It's important to note that engineering focuses more on hands-on experience than just theory. Unfortunately, the labs at IERT are not up to the mark, and this can negatively affect your future prospects there.

For those considering B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at IERT, the future seems bright. The faculty is quite dedicated, and many students get placed in well-known companies like TCS and Infosys, with the highest packages sometimes reaching 24 LPA. However, the competition can be fierce, and it's essential to start preparing for placements early.

The college provides decent internship opportunities, but you might have to look for them actively. Overall, if you're inclined towards tech and are prepared to work hard, you can definitely carve out a good future here.

The future in IERT looks a bit mixed, especially in Electrical Engineering. On one hand, the faculty here are quite qualified, with many holding PhDs, and the teaching methods are generally good. The average package for placements is around 5 LPA, but honestly, the competition is tough, and many students opt for government jobs instead of placements.

The college has a decent placement record, but it’s not as high as you might expect. Internships are available, but you have to be proactive about finding them. Overall, if you're willing to put in the effort, there are opportunities, but the focus seems to lean more towards preparing for competitive exams rather than just placements.

Pros:
The management is pretty laid-back, which means you can easily focus on preparing for exams like GATE, IES, IAS, SSC, or CAT without worrying about attending regular college classes. This flexibility is a big reason I chose IERT, and I don't regret it at all. If you're in the CSE branch, Ashish Mishra is a great help, and CSE students generally find decent placements.

Cons:

• The management isn't great and often seems to block positive student initiatives. Students who question things are often threatened into silence.
• The infrastructure is poor, with no proper workshops or labs for B.Tech students, no wi-fi, and a cafeteria that's not up to the mark. Basically, you just attend classes and then leave, as everything else is off-limits.
• The faculty isn't impressive either, as many are new and busy preparing for their own competitive exams, making classes a waste of time. I used to sit at the back working on my GATE papers.
• College fests are more about some individuals making money rather than genuine celebrations.
• The placement cell is ineffective, mainly because the placement officer isn't paid. A friend, Tarang Agarwal, tried reaching out to HRs from various companies but faced rejection.
• The overall vibe is quite demotivating; the campus feels lifeless. If you're not the assertive type, teachers might give you a hard time over petty issues like dress code.
• Sessional tests are just a formality, and I've even turned in blank papers.
• If you decide to join, be prepared to rely on NPTEL lectures and study on your own or through coaching. It's smart to maintain a good relationship with your immediate teachers, as they aren't the ones causing trouble.
