Remarks
My college is almost 35 years old. And for an institution this old, it definitely could have better in terms of faculty and education. Top management needs to be changed. And knowledge oriented teaching should be adopted rather than an exam oriented one.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum offered by VTU is quite excellent according to me. Yet the university should focus a bit more on developing students' soft skills also.
Internships Opportunities
There is no scope for internships in my college. Any internships I've done is outside the college. The college doesnt have a system itself for internships. I heard very few students here doing an internships during the period of their studies.
Placement Experience
Placements in my college is pretty average too. Every year 10 to 12 companies come for placements, and this is including all the branches. I could say that a maximum of 50 students get placed through the college every year.
College Events
My college celebrates two major events, the Annual day and the annual technical fest. The tech fest was started just last year and since it was the 1st time I guess it was a success. The annual day on the other hand is an utter bore each year. Im not at all involved in my college events as I feel they are not worth it.
Fees and Financial Aid
No, my college does not offer any kind of scholarship. Any scholarship a student might get is from outside sources, maybe from the government or private organisations. The college should definitely try to improve in this area. They could offer merit based and need based scholarships to worthy students.
Campus Life
My college does not many extra curicular activities. Students have limited sources of entertainment and even academic related workshops and seminars. With reference to gender, ratio of females to males is almost equal. Race, color, religion is overlooked in my college and that is a good thing I guess. Yes there are some politics in favor of the local students but I guess that happens everywhere.
Alumni/Alumna
My father is an alumni of this college. They have a pretty strong network I guess because most of their alumni live abroad. I have interacted with other alumni too. Some of them are happy with the college while others are not happy with the college's progress.
Exam Structure
Exam structure and labs are pretty rigorous. Yes, having a lab on a weekday is quite hectic but I guess its good for us too as it makes us ready for the end.
Faculty
The faculty of my college is just average I would say. Many subjects are taught by below par lecturers, but there are also a few who are excellent and have deep knowledge of the subject. Teaching methods adopted could definitely be improved though.
