Mahantesh 's Review On Vidya Vikas Institute Of Engineering And Technology - [VVIET], Mysore

I took the Common entrance test to get in to admission for Bachelor of Engineering. I got a ranking of 3800 as we dont get the marks in the entrance exam. The only option I got in my home town for electonics stream was in VVIET . So I had to opt for it.

Course curriculum was good with lot of electives in the final year with current relevant subjects as well. The first year was a general year with common subjects for all streams of Engineering with Chemistry, Physics etc. The specialization starts from the second year the specialization subjects start with subjects like VLSI, Networking etc.

I did the college internship program at NAL Bangalore. Stipend was not offerd. The topic was design of flight data simulator for NALs helicopter. We used Visual basic as front end and MS access as back end.

Placements were not there at the time when we studied. So we had to go out of campus to hunt for jobs. We struggled a lot after we passed out as we had to go to Bangalore for hunting jobs and the year 2002 was a year just after recession so jobs in technology were hard to come by.

The college celebrated an annual day with cultural programs in it. There weren't any other programs apart from the annual day. Students who had interest participated in them.

Fee structure was cheap by todays standard with Rs 8000 per semester. I finished my engineering with just Rs 32000 as it was a free government seat. Fees had to be paid every year so it was Rs 4000 per semester. Now a days the free seat has gone up to Rs 32200 per year.

There were no loan /scholarships provided.One had to go to a bank and approach them for the loan. Even the bank wanted a guarantor for the loan.

Gender ratios were healthy with 60-65% boys and 35-40% girls. Since hostel was not there, there weren't any hostel parties.We used to have workshops on carpentary, chemicals, electronics, graphics etc. The college had diverse cultures with students coming from across India. Even the students were from different economic status . Overall it was a healthy mix of race, caste and creed.

The alumni network is not strong as VVIET is relative new college.Since the batch I studied was the 2nd batch to pass out. However the alumni network might have improved now of which I am not a part of.

Exams were a semester scheme with 2 semesters each year. So a total of 8 semesters in the 4 year course. No the exams and labs were not so hectic.

Since the college was new not many experienced teachers were available. However there were some good teachers as well. Overall the coaching was average.
