Remarks

Overall positive, but little bit expensive, ground may have been bigger, transport isn't so good. There are not many restourants inside the college campus So for campus residents there is no option to eat on weekends

Course Curriculum Overview

It is quite good. curriculum is same as the punjab University other colleges. and in maths we dont have any labs.but for practical subjects labs are vers good. they have 4 lab classes of 2 hrs per week

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements are good, many companies come annually and offer good packages. But afterall this all depends on student itself that how they perform. And recession is also going on so placements aren't that good.

College Events

There are many student chapters in the college so they organize many fests and programs and also college organize a technical fest each year. Also organizes Uurja which is a cultural fest and freshers party is also organized every year

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee is increased every year. Mine is total of 1600000 for my course. But it's less for other courses and college is bit expensive In fact one of the most expensive private colleges in the country. But for my branch it's worth it.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have not applied for any loan so cant tell about it. But college offers scholarships. One at a time of joining, if you are among top students you get 10% and after that if you are among top 10 in the semester then also you get a scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

College has a ground, 4 badminton courts and a basketball court and volleyball outdoor court too. And labs are also very good and have specialized labs with all equipments. Every subject have well built labs and good lab assistants.

Alumni/Alumna

College has pretty good alumni network. In companies like Schlumberger, Weatherford, Baker Hughes, Reliance, ONGC, ExxonMobil, Shell, So pretty helpful for students. Also many teachers are from corporates.

Admission

I applied through JEE Mains and I was 3rd among 25 students so I chose Petroleum branch as the college is known and good for same. Other branches are also good like CCVT but I dont like IT so I went for Petroleum without second thought.

Faculty

3.5

In my opinion till 1st year all branches have same subjects so doesnt matter, but when we come to 2nd year it matters, some faculty are very good, some are average but some are not that good as they are pursuing their PhD so this could have been better

Likes

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

I dont like the college timetable as i have 6 hours of classes and 3 hours of break in between which kills alot of time.

From semester 7 students are eligible for campus placement. Companies like samsung, infosys, IBM have offered placements. Talking about my plan i have an idea to start after my degree or maybe experience of a couple of years.

Graduation- Best time of life.

Likes

The campus of the university is beyond beautiful and homely. Participation in college and university societies paves way for an all rounder development of the students. Facilities like CCF internet facility) is quite commendable.
Good Placements offered also encourage better future prospects. The library of the university is next level. Kisan mela held two times a year feels like another celebration for the university people.
Events held in the university with amazing artists offer exposure as well as a unique way to keep the entertainment alive amongst the youth.e

Dislikes

The hostel rules were rigid especially the entry timings of the girls hostel. The rigidity to take leave by getting it signed by various officials first had been an issue. Although, this was when i was graduating, things might have changed by now.
The stringent hostel rules were quite difficult to cope with. The strict checking at the university gates though might seem good as per the security but seem harsh sometimes.
Teaching methods could be made more progressive and technical with time paving way for more practical knowledge. Infrastructure could also be given a push.

Placement Experience:

In final year of btech companies start coming. Maximum students of CSE and IT get placed. Package is min. 3.2Lacs CTC. Both mass recruiters and startups take part in the placement drive. A good number of students get placed. But maximum students of our college opt for higher studies like appearing for GATE, GRE, CAT exams. Further students indulge in preparation for govt services like UPSC, Defence.

Some faculty are there to taunt students not to study. They only know how to push down and demoralize anyone. One thing I didnt unferstand why faculty play politics in college rather than teaching students.
