Divyanshu Sharma's Review On COER University, Roorkee

Probably the higher management was not that great and could be improved. So is the mess food. Great College built on past reputation, but by the time I passed out, it was more of reputation than academics.

AIEEE: AIR 55270For i always had an interest in Civil Structures be it bridges, tunnels, buildings etc, i took up this course.

I'd say it was challenging, at the syllabi more than that of CS/IT/ECE.some of the electives were:Hydraulics, Open channel flow, RCC, bridge engineering, structures, transportation, evnvironment engg etc.

It was satisfactory, but the college didnt help us in getting the internship. we got our internship by our own. Though they did issue us certificates to help us get those internship. There was no stipend offered.

Placement for CS/IT branches was good as Infosys/Wipro came for placement but that for Civil branch was underpar as only 2 companies came for placement which didnt offer a satisfactory/acceptable compensation package.

Lots of college events celebrated, that is one for each college committee, comprising of Cultural, Literary, Technical, Environment etc. We even managed to rope in YoYo Honey Singh for one of our annual cultural events i.e. ZION.

Fee structure was feasible for my batch, but did subsequently increase for every new batch, and the inflation was around 15-20%. The tuituion fees was about 40k when i first joined and by the time i was in my final year it was 55k per year. The hostel fee remained the same throughout, i.e. 60k per year.

College offered scholarship for SC/ST students. Other than that scholarship was provided to students with academic excellence such as branch and university toppers.

Campus life was ordinary, not much of a flashy kind as you'd expect in Delhi University, but nonetheless was good for a college situated in Roorkee. Though the hostel life was much better, as you'd hangout with your friends all day/night long, and thats where all the great memories are made.

Hostel facilities/Mess food quality was below par. For the amount charged for hostel, the facilities and the food were poor, but i guess that is expected as you wouldnt get "Ghar ka Khana" or anything near to home cooked food outside.

The senior students were very helpful all throughout my college duration. Had a lot of fun with them, both academically and while gaming and/or hanging out with them.

The exams were at a semester affair and the schedule was chilled out, could get one/two leaves per exam. Though we did have sessionals twice during a sem, but that wasnt too hectic as well. The lab schedule was one lab per week for a particular subject.

Faculty was great with the professors being passouts from IIT-Roorkee.Standards were great for my purticlar branch.Our HOD was very helpful and co-operating with managing to teach about 75% electives at a certain time duration when there was a shortage of
