Remarks

This college has lot to offer than actually we can take. This 4 years of your life will be one of the best and unforgettable.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I had choose BE Mechanical. Total Engineering structure has 8 semesters. Every semester there are 2 Internal tests and 1 final semester exam and one practical exam. Examination is quite fair. During semester exams we get roughly 4 days gap for each paper. I helped me follow schedule and get the work done.

Placement Experience

Placement of the college is better than most of the colleges in Goa. Our college also gives the opportunity every sem to have atleast one internship. Companies visited were Tata advance steels, quest global, TCS, Infosys, Bosch and so on. Tentative percentage to qualify for the placements is 60%. There is a seminar of 2 days about how to tackle interview by General Kamat.

College Events

4.5

Major cultural event is Tandav, where all 6 branches of the college fight for the trophy. It consists of sports, technical and cultural events. Happenings is most popular event of this college where all colleges from Goa participate. There is technical event every year for Mechincal branch it is TORQUE.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is quite feasible. My Engineering costed me below 1lakh rupees. Mode of payment of fees is by Cash or demand draft. This is a govt college so you dont need to pay any additional charge to get admission. There is no management quota available. College even provide 50% concessions for obc/ST/SC students and 30% for ESM students.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes, I had opted for 30% concession scholarship in Fees. I was from ESM( Exservice man ) category. If you are from OBC/SC/ST category you get a concession of about 50% in tution fees.

Campus Life

Campus life is unforgettable. Campus of GEC is about 250 acres this is even bigger than Vatican city which is the smallest country in the world. GEC has a lot of things to offer. Gender ratio is about 3:1, 3 boys to 1 girl. Students from all races were studying in this institute. Even students from Northeast are allotted 1 student seat in every branch this college offers.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Yes, Hostel rooms are shareable in one room 3 students stays. Average rent per sem is 1900 rupees. Hostels are not maintained properly. Mess food is available in all 4 hostels. But food is not up to the mark but there are close hotels available where you can have good meals.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network of this college is very strong. There is a website for jobs only for this college this are runned by all our Alumnis. Seniors are helpful. This college has more to offer than actually we can take.

Admission

It is one of the best Engineering colleges in Goa. Being a govt college you save lot of penny on education. I answered GCET( Goa common entrance test) this is mandatory to get a admission in Engineering colleges in Goa. After Results your rankings are declared in DTE website. Based on your rank you get a suitable college or branch.

Faculty

Being a Government college majority of the professors were PHD holders. Most of the professors are friendly and time they are available to solve your doubts. Total lectures per weeks are 48 lectures. Duration of lecture is 1 hr. We have opportunity for having atleast one industrial training ( interships) every semester.

Reasons to not Join this College: By a ex-student

Likes

The surroundings is quite mesmerizing...

Dislikes

The faculties are rude and extremely toxic.
The faculties don't have clear understandings of the syllabus.. the lack of alignment with prescribed syllabus leads to high failure rate with nearly 60% of students failing in each semester
Quite often the semester examination papers include topics that were not covered by the teachers in class. in My class 23/75 students got block(year back). Which must be highest rate of failures across entire India

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is the same across all the 5 colleges It's too outdated to be studied Not relevant for modern-day job markets Students often have to study different materials to crack a job. Youtibe is best solution to clear the concepts

GEC REVIEW BY A STUDENT

Likes

The campus is good, lots of air and good weather. Good facilities, decent food spots around and faculties are also good mostly. Masters courses are available in some departments.

Dislikes

There are cows roaming around as well as dogs so there is a lot of rubbish on the roads. The college is situated on a hill so getting there is a challenge for bus travellers, Canteen is horrible, so is the workshop. Security is non existent.
Anyone can come during college hours and even kill you and nobody will do anything.

Placement Experience:

I have no clue but the highest placements are in Computer and IT branches. Civil has probably the least placement. The quality is good thanks to IIT and NIT being in the same campus thus the big companies that come to those colleges also come to our colleges but they prefer those students more because NIT and IIT are more prestigious colleges.

The campus is new and in hostel one room for one person and the room is really good , we have everything which you need in a room enough lights fan a good cupboard
70 percent of the campus (other than boys hostel) looks nice ..they have greenery , a smol park like area in front of girls hostel and and good classrooms , professors are okaish

Dislikes

Many times hostel water tank gets empty ..so no water not even for drinking for hours and electricity went sometimes not much and one big problem is the internet inside the hostel , outside our hostel network comes but inside no signal
They have a wifi which don't work well and not much range of it ,it's a big problem we face everyday . The food is not good , below then avarage it got degraded since we came to new campus . It's been a year in this new campus
Only one basket ball and vollyball court for sports , no ground ,nothing . There is one ground in front of boys hostel where no grass only needle like rocks if you fall your bone will be cracked and , recently they started to let sevagewater out init

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is okay okay but not that great . Mech and civil don't have that much package avg of around 6 lakh and i guess only 10-11 got placed .. and 16-17 was eligibile for it. For eligible to placement you don't have any backlog in any subject and some minimum cgpa required too

GEC REVIEW BY A STUDENT

I don't need to answer this in detail, simple answer is that it is the only Government Engineering College in Goa. There is NIT and IIT, both in same campus as my college along with ITI. I didn't get admission into IIT and NIT and ITI who even wants to go so I took admission into GEC. That too I wanted Computer Engineering but didn't get it due to my rank thus I opted for IT because the syllabus is more or less the same for both the branches and just the order of subjects is different. What we have now, they'll have later on in the future semesters and vice versa....Read More

The truth about the GOA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

I got a seat at Vellore institute of technology, Bhopal in the CSE branch. But I chose not to study at VIT bhopal as the college is really crowded and as the colleges is privately owned the stakeholders are money minded they try to take money from students in every possible way.Also my seniors had warned me about the toxic environment at VIT Bhopal. I didn't get rejection from any colleges but I failed to get a good enough score to get CSE at MIT Manipal and i could only get mechanical engineering in which I want intrested. My college takes admission based on JEE rank. Each students has to apply at the Directorate of technical education, Goa online portal. After which a merit list is rolled out. Offline counseling takes place where students can select a branch based on their merit...Read More

The admission to degree colleges is done on the basis of an exam called GCET Goa Common Entrance Test. This is changed from this year to JEE and from hence admission will be considered from jee score of candidates. So for GCET we had to answer PCM questions, they were mcqs and there was no negative marking. For every correct ans 1 marks was credited. During my admission it was all done online because of COVID 19 we could find all forms and even the admission forms and lists online. We only had to go to college for confirmation of the seat and payment of fees once....Read More

During fee payment, there were long queues and cashier was harsh. Freeing up admissions for students across the country would make college a diverse place to study and live.
