Review on BMS College of Engineering

Positive Remarks - Placement/Job opportunities, Environment, Senior-Junior relationship, Hostel, suffesticated buildings, Gym, Sports field (both indoor and outdoor), Exam pattern. Negative Remarks - Very small canteen facility, some of the faculty are not so helpful

Course curriculum is pretty nice. This is an autonomous institution affiliated under VTU which have the authority to fix its own syllabus and exam based on the guidelines by the Vishweshwaraiah Technological University (VTU). Course will be common for all the branches only in the first year, each branch will have its own course curriculum in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year. 2nd and 3rd year students have 2 self study projects on each semester where they have to study on their own on a certain topic and do a mini-project(seminar/simulation/hardware representation). 4th year students will have a major project in the last semester. There will be two semesters per year and thereby making 8 semesters to complete Engineering course. Each semester will have 3 internal examinations where marks of best 2 out of 3 will be considered for Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) which will have 50% contribution on final makes. Each internal exam is conducted for 40 marks on each subject. Each semester is followed by a Semester End Examination (SEE) which is conducted for 100 marks which will have 50% contribution on final marks.

Placement & Job opportunities are plenty in our college. For Electronics & Communication, Computer Science and Information Science branches, the placement Percentage is almost 90%. For other branches, it will get decreased. Our college provides internship to students but internship Percentage is very less (15%).

There are two major college festivals. One is a technical fest - Phaseshift where technical stalls, workshops, technical events and flagship events are conducted. This fest runs for 2 days and one of the days will be Engineers day. The other festival is known as one of the best and oldest cultural festivals in Bangalore i.e. Utsav. This fest is conducted for 3 days. It will have all type of cultural, fashion, technical events and also a DJ Night. All events will be conducted grandly and This is one of the most popular college fests in Bangalore. Apart from these two festivals, each department will conduct it's Department day where different events are conducted. Our college will celebrate Independence day, Kannada Rajyotsava, Republic Day, IEEE day etc. It will conduct Kreedotsava(Sports day) every year.

Fee structure is extremely feasible. Aided section people will have a total fee of around Rs.30000-35000. However it varies with the mode of admission. This fee is included by the tuition fee, exam fee, library fee etc.

There are scholarships like Vidyasiri etc. Where students can try to reduce the burden of college fee. A student can get around Rs.20000 scholarships. Loan facility is covered by the tuition fee, exam fee, library fee etc. Also a person can get some amount for daily expenses as well.

Our college has sports clubs and cultural clubs. Sports clubs are Chess, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Volley Ball, Throwball, Carrom. Cultural clubs are Music Club, Theatre Club, Arts and Drawing Club. Also we have photography club, Rotaract club, Mathematical Club, Fashion Club etc.

There are two type of hostels which are IH and NH. Hostel has lift, security, proper rooms, bathrooms and toilets, 24 hours hot water. Hostel students can have their food on the hostel mess which provides both North Indian and South Indian food everyday everytime. Menu will get changed everyday on a weekly basis.

Alumni network is pretty good. They will be visiting the college regularly and they will be updated by the latest news regularly. Senior students are very friendly and actually junior-senior relationship is like they are best friends. That is one appreciable environment in our college. There is not a single sign of ragging inside the college. Seniors are approachable, friendly, helpful.

I have attended Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET or CET 2017) which was conducted by Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA). I got 732 Karnataka Rank in this entrance exam. Then I have continued my option entry process and counseling till 2nd extended Round. Then I got this college in 2nd extended Round with Electronics and Communication Engineering branch(College Code - E003).

Faculty of this college comprises of professors who have done their Post Graduation (M.Tech/M.E/MBA/MSc) or PhD. Most of them are kind hearted, approachable after class hours, have enough knowledge on the topics, have good communication skills. But some of them will be of moderate type who are not so helpful to the students. That section can be improved a bit.
