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.

And second thing is faculty members are so helpful and they always help to students and different festival
And also the campus provide all facilities and make helps to sports and ration is almost equal of boys and girls

Dislikes

Yes some things are there which I disliked first is the campus is very strict and no function are organised yearly ones or twice is very sad thing as compared to other campus
Second thing is food students facing some problem with the food which hear prepared so outsiders facing lot of problems
Third is about hostel facility is good but very strict only once a week the students should go out side and write leave letter to go there native places.

Placement Experience:

Students got opportunity to eligible after 3rd year mainly in 7th semester students get opportunity for campus interview. In my college the company which came to hire is congizent and microsoft and amezon and dell nearly 80 to 90 company are came. The company offers is highest is 40 lack per annum which google provide and minimum is 4lack . Mainly 80 percent of the students are placed every year but due to war happened in the global impact in placement I want to do masters in abroad and then go to the company

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.
