How is GHRCE in Nagpur?

GHRCE is a good choice for a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering if you're looking for solid academic support and a decent curriculum. The faculty is mostly qualified, and they do help students with their queries. Exams are conducted regularly, which keeps us on our toes.

The college has been good in terms of placements, with several companies visiting for recruitment. However, I've noticed that the average package tends to be around 4 LPA, which could be better. The campus life is vibrant with events like Antaragini, but the facilities could use some improvement.

Hey everyone,

I was part of the first batch when GHRCE became autonomous back in 2014, and my time there was pretty average. Let's break down the good and bad about this college:

Pros:

• Students here have it a bit easier compared to others in Nagpur University since you can pass a subject even with just 2 out of 60 on the exam, while internal marks can go up to 35 or 40.
• The cultural events at GHRCE are a big hit in Nagpur and have their own unique charm.
• The campus is well-built.
• Several companies come to recruit in large numbers from GHRCE, like TCS and Tech Mahindra, which is great if you know what I mean.

Cons:

• Getting those 40 internal marks requires a lot of effort, as lecturers are strict about assignments.
• Unfortunately, GHRCE is more known for its annual events rather than the academic side, which I wish was different.
• The campus layout is a bit confusing, with classrooms tightly packed to make room for more.
• The mass recruiting mainly benefits students in Electronics, Communication, and IT branches. In 2014, there were no companies hiring for core branches like Electrical.

Thanks for checking this out.

My experience at GHRCE, pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, has been a mixed bag. The curriculum is relevant, but the frequency of exams can be overwhelming, especially with two CAEs and an end-semester exam every semester. I appreciate the hands-on projects and the support from faculty, though some teachers can be a bit strict. The placement scene is decent; we have big companies like Accenture and Cognizant coming for recruitment, but the average package seems to hover around 4-5 LPA. Overall, it's a good college if you are willing to put in the effort.

You can look up the NIRF Rankings to see how engineering colleges stack up. Ramdeobaba is ranked 64th, GHRCE is at 67th, and YCCE is over the 100th mark. This will give you a good idea of their ratings in various categories.
