Remarks
The management is that of JNVU. The institute is a cash cow for the university and hence not much of investment happens from the JNVU front into the institute.
Entrance Preview
RPET. Admissions now happen through AIEEE. Ranked around 900, This was the best option available after MNIT.
Course Curriculum Overview
4 Years. 1st year is common to all and rest 3 are functional specialisation. Includes two industrial projects of 100 days and one industrial tour. Includes a combination of theory and practical.
Internships Opportunities
Internship is to be arranged solely by the student with zero support from the institute. The industry experience however was fantastic. Provided a huge learning opportunity and puts one ahead in terms of domain knowledge. Highly recommend this.
Placement Experience
Placements are decent with key IT companies like TCS, IBM, Adobe visiting. In addition key companies from Civil and Mechanical domains also visit the campus.
College Events
There are a few clubs like debating, technical and there is an annual technical and cultural festival. Seminars and conferences too happen at sporadic intervals.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Fee structure is inexpensive. Given the association with JNVU, its very subsidised. Fees for females is subsidsed and the IT deptt is self financed.
Fees and Financial Aid
Loan facilities are offered by the bank. A few scholarships do exist but not sure how much are the quantums and what are the payout mechanisms.
Campus Life
Extracurriculars aren't formalised and hence are limited. Though opportunities exist. The exposure happens more from participation in festivals of other institutes.
Hostel Facilities
Hostel facilities are average. A few new hostels have come up and there have been recent improvements in facilities. But from a hygiene point they are not good. People generally stay out of hostels.
Alumni/Alumna
Multiple forums exist but nothing is official. Very limited alumni interactions. Completely depends on ones networking abilities. Certain alumni chapters exist on facebook etc.
Exam Structure
No. Its a semester system with 8 sems. The schedule and syllabus is relaxed and not much to worry about. Generally its the last few days of rigour which helps one sail through.
Faculty
While the faculty is very limited, all of them are extensively experienced with their expertise areas. Pros: Experience, expertise, depth of subject knowledge. Cons: Govt college mentality. Professors don't take classes. Expect students to take tuitions at their home (which it is belived assures scores in practicals).
