Remarks

College is excellent and fun to be both in the academic and co-curriculum way. There are numerous places to hang out. Goa is 100 km only so dil Chahta trip can be initially accomplished.

Course Curriculum Overview

Being an Autonomous college it has an excellent course curriculum and exam structure. All the things are timely and accurate there is no delay. Many new courses seminars and industrial visits are organized from time to time to make students aware of the current technology.

Class Size: 140Course Fees: INR 150000 per year

Placement Experience

Year by year placement are growing companies like TCS, Accenture are mass recruiters. Apart from these companies like Informatica, Sony, Mphasis, etc are one of the few companies to visit the college. Avg salary being 3 LPA.

College Events

4.5

The annual fest called Insignia is organized yearly by a group of students called the core committee. The event is massive and various colleges from other parts of the state also participate and make the event a grand success. Intra college event called Fiesta is also there.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It's very feasible same as set by COMEDK or CET. There is no additional charge apart from this only fees set by the COMEDK or CET are applicable until and unless you are not from the management Quota. Excellent transparency is provided by the college for a fee breakdown.

Fees and Financial Aid

No, I didn't for any loan. Yes, there were many scholarship opportunities provided to students. I am not sure about the average sum of scholarships provided but a huge amount of scholarships was provided.

Campus Life

The best part of college is its campus life. Excellent library, Playground, Gym, etc provided on the campus. Many sports competitions and events are held on the premises and are treat to play and watch. Many intra event like Futsal, karavali, Googly use to happen. The cafeteria is the best place where you can dine and enjoy special gobi Manchurian.

Hostel Facilities

Yes, I have opted for a hostel. There is a total of 5 hostels. 3 for boys and 2 for girls separately. There is a special hostel for fresher's exclusively and no seniors are allowed in it. Shamala, Narmada, sharavati being a few of the names which are named across some river.

Hostel Fee: INR 40000 per year

Alumni/Alumna

Yes, the alumnus of the college are very helpful. There has been special alumnus like Shirish Kunder ( Farah Khan's husband), CEO of Mindcraft, etc are one of the few alumni who has got a great record.

Admission

I got to this college through COMEDK Entrance. Initially, I selected a different college in the first round which was in Bangalore but selecting this college in the second round of counseling proved to be the best decision of my career. Apart from being outside of Bangalore, this has no drawbacks.

Faculty

The faculty of the colleges are nice but a little strict. Attendance is a must and compulsory if attendance is fewer students are not allowed to sit for the exam also based on the assignments and interaction of students 10 marks CIE is given by the faculty of the subject.

Academic Curriculum- they constantly upgrade the subjects which needs to be taught

You can choose to drop a lab and do it in winter break or summer break

Dislikes

very less holidays only 3rd saturday is holiday and they dont give holidays for jayantis and all
Auto drivers near the college. this is pure daylight robbery

Placement Experience:

From your 7th semester you become eligible to get placed and it is mandatory to get internship before you get placed which the college helps you to get and around 400-500 companies visit, and a good amount of offers are made by them. The average package stands somewhere around 11LPA -12LPA and the highest goes to 50LPA-60LPA and the median stands around 9-10LPA.

An honest review

Course Curriculum Overview:

As I'm in 1st semester. I will update you after my exams. But one good thing is that from this year, internals and externals will hold same weightage i.e., 50/50 If you can score more than 45% in internals which wouldn't be that big of a deal because they'll ask most the questions from class notes. Most of the faculties are average I would say. But some are good professors too. I chose CSE because I find these topics interesting since junior school. And everyone is just jumping into cse is a reason too lol.
