Remarks

I was also selected for the IISER Mohali BS-MS program and do not join because i want to be in tech-related fields. after inquiring a lot, I came to know about this college -Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC), New Delhi. i applied for it - gave exams -got admission. total marks for the paper -400. it consists of total of 100 questions ( maths+reasoning ). After matching with the official answer key, i calculated my score to around 140.I lost hope as 140 out of 400, not a chance to get into this institute. When the results came,I have got 137 marks with unbelievable rank ( general rank-45, obc rank-7). Note:-But this depends on the level of paper/no. of students, etc. Due to covid19, the counseling/document verification was done online.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I want to pursue a career in tech areas. My previous year-class strength was fixed to 40. But this time seats were increased to a maximum intake of 55 students. Faculties are experts in their respective fields. As in our case classes are held online. In the beginning, we miss usual college life, but with get used to it. We regularly got classes, assignments, projects, presentations. As exams were held online, so we people are happy.(i guess you get it- jokes apart)

Class Size: 53Course Fees: INR 10000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

we have options to intern under the faculty of CIC. almost all got internships from various sources. Every year many students got into GSoC. There is no placement cell of our own, which is the only drawback of CIC. But students managed it through off-campus placement. Some apply for CAT,GATE, and many other jobs and higher education fields. some went to abroad for further studies.

Fees and Financial Aid

CIC BTech programme- only 5000/semester. (10000 yearly). This is nothing compared to the fees of any other engineering program all across India. There is a scholarship available from Delhi university. but to avail it , there are conditions that one has to be fulfilled.

Campus Life

As we started our course online, therefore we do not get any chance to well-known for this. But, as saying of seniors- CIC has no fest of our own BUT as we are in North Campus, we can join an amazing fest of top DU colleges. we have a design and robotics club of our own. The library is good and there are plenty of books, journals, etc. AS CIC is new, better infrastructure, air-conditioned classrooms with internet connectivity, Our computer labs have world-class Mach systems. we can play football and other games in the stadium. One can search social groups on Instagram easily with cic name.

Good college for leaning and enjoy campus life.

Likes

College has many club and societies where you can get chance to participate.
College has good amenities for BTech students.
Faculty and college managements are supportive and helpful.

Dislikes

Location is bit away from metro station.
College should provide more free shuttle bus service from metro station.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is good. I do not feel very pressure. The course curriculum is design by GGSIPU. There is not spefific reason to choose to this course. It was my childhood dream to become computer engineer. I cant say that the curriculum prepares for real world applications because I am just second year students. The exam conducted on semester basis and its not very difficult.

How Good B.Tech. from JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA is?

Likes

Here in Jamia the faculty is very experienced in their fields , they make you feel Engineering and not to just read books. there teaching methods are amog the top in the nation
the curriculum not just focus on your engineering but also focuses on your personality development.
the infrastructure itself gives you the feel of oldness and the reputation of the college.

Dislikes

one bad thing is its less availability of Hostel rooms .
there is a very strict rule of 75% attendance .

Placement Experience:

Placements at Jamia Millia Islamia are not too high or too low and depend on the branch. Students can apply for placements starting from their 7th semester. Big companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, and some startups come to recruit. The average salary offered is between 7 to 8 lakhs per year, but there are not many students who get higher packages. About 40 to 60 percent of students get placed. Many students also work on getting into higher studies or look for jobs outside the campus after they finish their degree.

Likes

Supportive faculties in study wise and real growth support if you need it.
Labs and Syllabus are latest and up to date, so really not a problem on that. And if you do need components for yourself you can ask the college and get it easily

Dislikes

College on it's own doesn't do any Cultural events or Freshers, there's a lot of process and Headaches to get it.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course Curriculum for ECE in my clg is quite up to date and comprehensive, covering both core subjects and emerging areas of technology, which was a major factor in my decision to choose this branch. Course has a balanced theory with practical exposure, supported by great faculties guidance and well-maintained lab conditions. Also you get to choose the type of minor or specilaization you want to pursue after 1st year. Exams are conducted regularly after each semester, and levels are same as any engineering college would have.

I like the infrastructure of my college. College have provided us AC rooms with clean washrooms. Qualified teachers. Maintained decorum. Most important it is a government college.
Smart classes are available in every room. Cantens are available.
There are many labs for every subject either it's of EE, ECE, CSE

Dislikes

New college so there are no societies or clubs.
Fees is too high for general category students.
No facilities of hostel available in our college

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am an Electrical Engineering student. I chose this course because the demand for skilled Electrical Engineers is high leads to job security and also we can keep our options open for other fields by choosing this branch.

USCT, The underrated school of GGSIPU

Likes

Vast campus - one of the biggest campus in Delhi, great greenery , feels free to roam around
Exclusive course- among the fewest government colleges which provide chemical engineering
Less explored field- field is relatively new and evergreen, if done with perseverance, you can get great jobs

Dislikes

Long classes- a very hectic time table during the first semester
Too many Assingments- teachers give way too many Assignments
Exams start late in comparison to other government colleges

Placement Experience:

I would not suggest On Campus placement for this college as the placement cell is not very good here. However one can score a great package if they develop skills in the field of chemical engineering.

This college has a great placement. 80% of students do place every year. If you got no placement then they will give you the opportunity to start the startup. starting the 4th year you get the placement and opportunities. this college visits many companies like Amazon HCL Flipkart etc. this college's highest package is 26 LPA and the average package is 10.5 LPA. 80% of students get placed. my plan is after taking the degree I will start my startup.
