Ritesh's Review On RNS Institute Of Technology - [RNSIT], Bangalore

Being a J&K migrant i was allowed to give Karnataka CET. My score was around 80-90 and rank 13501. This college was the best option i had at that time. I wanted to pursue my engineering in Computer Sciences and this college in particular was good in placements and faculty back then.

The course curriculum is good enough for theoretical knowledge to students but it fairly lacks in imparting practical knowledge or hands on sessions to the students apart form the weekly sessions. The focus of college is mainly on scoring high in the exams. There is no choice of electives and you'll be forced to select that elective as the faculty is not available (esp. in CSE).

No, The internship opportunity was not provided by the college and in fact it was strongly vouched against as it leads to attendance shortage. Internship was only offered if a company requested the college to do so and in that also only 2 students in the entire batch was allowed. They got a stipend of 25000 from IBM.

The placements are average as no high package company ever came but college got 95+% placements atleast for CSE branch. Others branches were also around 90% placement ratio. Top recruiters were Infosys -145 students and Wipro 120 students and salary offered by them was 3.25lpa.

Our main cultural fest PANTHEON is celebrated once every two years. The events are same as in all the fests but compared to other famous colleges this college doesn't spend on fests like these. It has a very basic budget. The chief guests,celebrities and bands were all local and of course there was hardly any crowd from outside our college(apart from participants).

Being a CET student i feel that fee is really feasible. It was 35 k for tuition fee and 40 k for hostel. The hostel fee definitely can be reduced but as such is not expensive compared other colleges in bangalore. For those coming from Management Quota i feel that its way too expensive. They can join better college with the same amount of money and get a better experience.

The scholarships were only provided to OBC and other reserved category from the University. The college has never given any scholarship to any student(even university toppers). Instead they used to charge for low attendance and other stuffs.

The hostel room for boys are all 3 sharing. Option is only between attached(Rs.37000) and non-attached bathrooms(Rs.39000). The mess provides breakfast, lunch and dinner (completely south indian food). The mess food is really bad most of the times and also its not hygenic at all. 70% of students end up having dinner daily outside.

The Alumni network is existing but i hardly got any interaction with my alumni as there was never a session or meeting with them. The college only calls 2-3 highest package placed students for all their fests as judges and others are barely even contacted. I don't think alumni network is of much use for all students.

The exam structure is pretty lenient. You'll be having enough time to prepare for all the exams and labs. There will be a gap of atleast 2 days in final sem exams and lab exam also will have a gap of atleast a day. I can conclude that the exam structure was chilled out.

After the written exam I was called for counselling by KEA and i got the college VVCE in the first round of counselling. After 2 weeks there was one more round of counselling where I got RNSIT. I was handed a receipt by KEA which I took to my college and then after paying the tuition fee and hostel fee I was admitted to this college.

Few senior faculty members are exceptionally good but rest all just read out what is mentioned in the texts. They don't have fair knowledge on the subject and face difficulty to answer students questions. The faculty only focuses on scoring high in the semester exams and try to refrain form answering out of the syllabus questions(which are needed in most interviews). The faculty of the college needs a drastic improvement.
