Remarks
It is a prestigious state university, and it has an excellent reputation. It was the oldest university in Andhra Pradesh, and they had quite some good records about creating great engineers for three generations. It has it also happens to be my grandfather's college, so it's a family sentiment that I was opting myself. I also found the primitive roots within the college. I did understand that it was a not so new place to study, but now I think I took a wise decision by joining there. It was not hectic, and the tuition fees are affordable, so there was a higher return on investment. And the placements are okay to get a decent job. So after valuing the pros and cons, I decided to go there.Moreover, it was not so far from my hometown, so there was excellent accessibility to get home on alternative weekends. I also made friends from different parts of the state, so they were quite some diversity. And another reason for joining a state university which was a government institution is the extracurriculars were allotted equal importance as the academics. So after graduating, I did see myself having energy on my friends who were paying education loans, whereas I had a good return on investment.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculm was the most stringent part of the college. It had strict rules about the studies part and the credits were crucial to get through to another academic year. Although it was tiring, I had a good time learning
Internships Opportunities
No, I haven't opted any internship as such but I prepared for the other competetive examinations.
Placement Experience
The job oppurtunities depend solely on the student. There isn't a barrier to cope up but the numbers and recruiters are not so good enough for a state university standards. It can have other recruiters from core engineering background other than just the IT sector.
College Events
It had a good mix of events to keep us excited. I was the part of a committee and I had a good time organising and taking part of the events. I understood it was a lot of work for the organisers but overall a learning experience.
Fees and Financial Aid
I had a state scholarship which I was eligible for, along with every engineering student who scored good rank in the entrance exam. The state government reimbursed my tuition fee, and I had to pay only my hostel fee. Since I don't belong to any category, I didn't get any additional scholarships as such.
Hostel Facilities
Everything seemed good except for the mess food. The campus didn't have wifi facilities and the common bathrooms were the worst part. It was accessible to the college but the facilities could go through a huge upgrade.
