Anant Jain's Review On Raj Kumar Goel Institute Of Technology - [RKGIT], Ghaziabad

Those who have confidence that after passing out from this college they can easily get the Job on their own or those who are doing technical courses only for the sake of degree RKGIT is the place for you. I will not recommend this college to those who are heavily dependent on college management for placement opportunities because the efforts put down by the college management is not up-to the mark.

In 2009 I gave UPSEE Exam in the month of May and scored 10,123 rank (Ten thousnad, One hundred and twenty third rank )in general quota. During the counselling process in July 2009 I opted for five colleges that are JSS Academy, ABESEC, KIET, Galgotia and RKGIT for CSE branches out of which I was allotted with CS branch in Raj Kumar Goel Institute of Technology Ghaziabad. That is how I reached this college.

Course of UPTU is very wide and there are 5 subjects in each semester. This is merely very difficult for college faculties to complete the course in the given duration of semester timelines. Quality wise syllabus is not up-to the mark whereas you can easily found quantity work in UPTU curriculum. There is no choice in electives up-to 7th semester and you will get only 1 elective choice in 8th semester where there are only 4 subjects to pass out for.Faculty of our college are hard working and talented too with most of them holding the M.Tech and PHD Degrees.Faculty of our CSE department possess sound technical and practical knowledge and has good command over most of the programming languages. Dr.Sachi Gupta is the HOD of our CSE department and possess quality educational and teaching skills she has great practical knowledge and time to time she used to motivate students.

Generally Internship was provided to MCA students for their last semester where they have to work on a live project. Companies also pay stipend to students which ranges from 7000-13000 INR per month. College do not take much steps in helping students for their internship and students has to make their own ways to get an internship opportunity.

Agile Softech Pvt.Ltd, Genpact, L & T Integrated Engineering Services, Ericsson, Safenet are some of the companies used to visit our college for campus placements and also visited the college during my pass-out year 2013. Placement percentage of our college is near about 55% and the salary package offered to students varies in the range of 2.4 lpa to 3.9 lpa. In the year 2013 Ericsson offered 3.00 lpa to CSE and ECE students while Agile Softech Pvt.Ltd. offered 2.6 lpa to CSE students. College need to make more efforts to drive reputed MNCs to visit the college.

Our college organize Jagriti ( Technical,Cultural Fest) every year in which different events like "Junk Busters","Code Spore","spandan","Sky Fest" are organized and we can observe good participation from all departments of our college in the Techno-cultural fest. Students from different colleges also used to visit our college to take part in Jagriti Fest. Fest lasts 3 Days and our college used to organize Star night on the 3rd and final day of the fest. During my college days I attended Mika singh night, Jal Band, Euphoria band and I can say that these 3 days are the best days we spent every year in our college. Management provide full support in the organization of Techno-Cultural fest in the college.

Total fees for 1st year is around 1,10,000 INR and is around 1,01,000 INR from 2nd year onwards which includes University Charges, Tuition fees, Registration Charges, Personality Development and Placement assistance charges. Fee structure of private engineering colleges in NCR affiliated to UPTU are on a higher side as compared to private engineering colleges which do not fall in NCR region.

Gender ratio of our college is near about 60 girls per 100 boys and one can observe good diversity in our college. Most of the Students are from UP (East), UP (West), Bihar, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Haryana states college used to organize Robotics competition every year and a team of 6 students along with HOD and one faculty member used to visit South Korea for robotics show. Most of the students in the college are from Middle and Upper Middle class family and college follows zero tolerance policy with regards to race, religion and politics.College has its own dramatics club which occasionally used to perform some events in the college like "Nukkad Natak" and similar events. College also organize "International Conference on Modern Mathematical Methods and High Performance Computing in Science and Technology" every year in which professors from all around the country participate and put their views and present White papers on the emerging technologies.

There are 2 boys hostel and 2 girls hostel in our college. Available Hostel rooms are in double sharing mode and single sharing mode with hostel fees of around 75000 for double sharing and 82000 for single sharing rooms. (Cooler charges are extra and need to be deposited to finance department). Hostel has ample no. of seats and it is not safe to stay in outside PG's as the location of college is in Industrial area and there are no residential projects in that region. Mess food is good in the college and Non-Vegetarian food is not allowed in the college mess. We have a pre-defined menu of the hostel mess and any complains regarding the quality of eatables in hostel mess are given due importance by our hostel warden. Hostel warden is highly cooperative and helps students in the case of any needy situation.

Alumni of our college are very helpful and can be of great help when you are looking for some Job opportunities. I am working in a MNC just because of referral scheme followed in one of my senior associate's company. Alumni of RKGIT spread all over the world are zealously serving human society as engineers, technologists, managers and entrepreneurs.

UPTU exams are hectic one and one has to go through a lot of theory books to clear the exams. Passing marks are 33 out of 100 and it is very difficult to pass UPTU exams due to careless marking done by our professors during the external university exams.Paper pattern is also not good and do not follow the pre-defined schema which is used to be taught during the semester days. Lab work is not hectic and one can easily complete his/her lab work because in UPTU more focus is on theoretical knowledge rather than on practical knowledge.

Faculty are highly interested in teaching the course and the standard of teaching is also good.
