Remarks
Decent College which is more Academic centered and strict but definitely improving. Slow changes are being made to improve the course and the entire structure is being made modernised. The professor pool is still a bit lacklustre.
Course Curriculum Overview
The first year of B tech is course independent. Students of all departments follow a single curriculum and there are no electives to choose from, which makes it seem like another year of high school. There are 2 internals which are computer based followed by a written exam in the end of the semester. The course content is spaced averagely which makes it neither too hectic or chilled.
Placement Experience
The average placement package is around 6 -7 lakhs per annually The 4th year is mostly filled with internships and students have the option to start as early as the 1 year summer holidays. Companies that recruit include microsoft, amazon.etc
College Events
There is an annual cultural fest followed by many other events hosted by various clubs including but not restricted to various hackathons and ideathons. Also an annual event named activity day is carried out where the various departments compete against each other.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The base fees is feasible compared to others, and there are scholarships available to meritorious students. The fees for students who entered through PESSAT is set at 3.2lakhs for the year(2019) but for those students who entered through KCET its around 1.2lakhs.
Fees and Financial Aid
There are 2 major scholarships based on the cgpa secured by student in their first year which cuts off a percentage on their total fee for that academic year. The first one is awarded to the top 10% of the students and the fee is waived by 25% The second one is awarded to all students who have secured and upwards of 8.2 cgpa and above a fee waiver of 15% along with certificate is awarded.
Campus Life
The labs are decently equipped and is being improved upon. The gender ratio is not too bad a ratio of 1:3 of girls to boys. Frequent workshops are organized by seniors. A strict rule against raging has made accounts of bullying almost next to none.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel for first year is pretty strict, a lot of restrictions. Overall it's a better choice to scout out a PG or rent an apartment with your friends. Although there are a lot of facilities such as laundry and wifi but the 6.30 in time constricts a lot of activities you can partake in.
Alumni/Alumna
There is a pretty good alumni network with many of them having their own successfull startup who occasionally come and provide insights. A lot of students have started actively being part of various tech networks and host frequent seminars on upcoming tech.
Admission
The admission process involves writing the College entrance exam named PESSAT, and based on ranking the courses are allotted. The course CSE was in my line of interest which prompted me to pressure the said course. The Admission process is pretty straightforward, based on your ranking your called to choose your course. The further your rank, the lesser options you get.
Faculty
Some of the faculty carry pretty high qualification and were actively part of the industry and hence provide insight on how the industry works in their respective fields. But the ratio of good professors is pretty low, especially in the first 2 semesters. Hence, the majority of the subjects in the first year feels lackluster since not only are they forced upon you but most of the professors are not upto the mark.
