Entrance Preview
EAMCET is the entrance test one has to take to get in to this college. Reputation of college being Top tier private engg college and placements are the 2 factors which I weighed in before selecting this college. I got 6000+ rank in EAMCET and got in to this college.
Course Curriculum Overview
Course curriculum was decided by the Osmania University board as the VCE is affiliated to the OU. And curriculum is on par with other universities. Most of the advanced topics are covered, but in few of the courses, it was not revamped from past few years as on 2004.
Internships Opportunities
There is no formal summer internship process during 2004. We used to do two types of projects. 1) Industry visit which used to for 15 days time where we were guided by the senior professor to the various industries(related to the Engg.background) where we used to learn the various fundas being implemented in practice. 2) Another one is college project which is upto the students to find out the mentor/professor under which they have to complete the project as per the guidelines. Most of the students used to do the projects under the guidance of senior professors.
