Remarks

Management was good. More campus and competitions should have been conducted. Electronics branch is well desciplined in perticular which should be followed by other branches and colleges

Entrance Preview

Entrance exam - CET karnataka Ranking -Approximately 7300 Reason- I wanted to do engineering in Electronics field

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

It was really good. Being first batch of VTU it good syllabus at par with industry standard. Especially in electronic section where new syllabus like VLSI Design was added.

Internships Opportunities

I have not gone through any internship so no stipend offered to me. I have done project at the college campus itself. Also we had to attend college for few more subjects hence were not allowed to go for longer internship

Placement Experience

While I was studying there was recession hence no campus was conducted. Since there were no campuses conducted no offers made. Our previous batches had few offers made but sure about the offers.

College Events

See off parry to seniors and welcome party to juniors. Not many events were conducted. One big event per semester in name of welcome and see off party

Fee Structure And Facilities

No fee structure was feasible. Approximately 7000 INR for annual fee + 500 to 700 exam fee for each semester. So it was more convinient fee structure however now it has been changed to min 32000 INR.

Fees and Financial Aid

No. To best of my knowledge there was no scholarship program for GM category. But for SC/St there was some program. Don't know much as I have not availed it.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life was good. There use to be sport competitions both intra and inter college. However not much on debate and robotics. Not many competitions were held

Hostel Facilities

No hostel facility was taken. Was at home town hence stayed at home. So no hostel availed. However got to know from the friends that it was not so good.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni are not much in contact of each other also not many senior and juniors made and effort to be in touch with each other. Though everyone is touch with their classmates.

Exam Structure

Each semester had internals with 25 marks and 100 marks for external and final exams. Minimum 40 out of 100 and internal + external put together it should be 50 minimum.

Faculty

4.5

Very strict and experienced. While in college felt they were too strict as compared to other branches but today we realise that they were preparing us for the better future. They always completed the syllabus with due detailing.

Likes

Making it compulsory to do projects from first year onwards and emphasizing on publishing papers which are good for longer run
Skill labs is fun and useful (in general for most branches)
No ragging, students are not discriminatory and are helpful

Dislikes

Though projects are good, at times it becomes difficult to manage so many at the same time
During CIE's, there are 2 exams on one day which makes it tough
Some teachers dont follow marks breakdown and give marks as they feel. Especially for lab manuals.. they dont check the manual and put random marks

Course Curriculum Overview:

Curriculum is a mix of both Computer Science and AIML which is increasingly relevant in today's world. Second year: Subjects like Mathematics for AIML, Data Structures, Stats for Data Science, Computer Networks, Third year: DBMS, ANN, ML operations Some other elevtives are also available and courses like Universal Human Values, POME, EIPR etc. Honestly, POME, EIPR, UHV should have less course credits and probably MCQ type exams (like IC and Yoga in first year). Curriculum is good and updating for applications helped along with projects. Exams are generally once in a month, 1.5 - 2 units for each subject each exam. Lab exams at the very end before CIE marks finalization. Then 2 weeks gap for Lab SEE, then 1 week gap and actual SEE's.

Sports, clubs ,research projects or cultural evevts
beautiful scenery , modern facilities or a vibrant student life

Dislikes

Attendance policies or restrictive campus rule
lack of clubs , events or sports facilities
difficult exams , assignments or unrealistic deadlines

Placement Experience:

KSIT has an average placement rate of 70%-85% depending on the branch . CSE,ISE and ECE branches have higher placements while mechanical and civil have fewer opportunities in IT sector . Average package is about 4-6LPA . KSIT attracts many IT based recruitiers with some core companies for non -IT branches . It also provides pre-placement training, coding boot cams, aptitude tests and soft skills development . Alumni network is moderate, but students need off-campus efforts for high paying jobs

One of the best colleges or universities for B Tech and pocket friendly

Likes

The campus is very good , it is peaceful , it has the best environment for a student to pursue his studies
The faculties are highly qualified , most of the faculties (lecturers) are PHD holders. They've got plenty of experience to share their knowledge with the students
We've got plenty of opportunities to improve our skills , lecturers gives us more space to solve our doubts.

Dislikes

For a B-tech college it is new , we are still expecting the campus placements
The campus is a bit underrated for a B-tech college

Placement Experience:

The College was there for more than 10 years , but there was only Post graduate courses available , like M-tech , Msc , etc. The College for B-tech has started just before 2 years , there are no batches which has been output till now. The students are also waiting to see the batches to get output and see the placements taking place. As a student I am also eager about the campus placements.
