Reviewed on Jan 4, 2017

Entrance Preview

Dr. MGR Educational and Research college is quite average while comparing to other engineering colleges in India. The best part of this college is that, it is located with Chennai city. I will rank it 2nd after SRM.

Internships Opportunities

Syllabus content is quite good but, but no internship flexibility during final year is a concern.

Placement Experience

1.5

Placement wise this college is average, 3-4 companies visit here and mostly for CS background. Criteria for placement is 60% throughout which is a concern among so huge set of students(around 360 in CS only).

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is okey comparing to other private colleges in Chennai, and comparing to other private universities in Chennai.

Hostel Facilities

Problem with hostel is that there is no ""On-Campus hostel"" (as of now it has very small campus) and food quality is not good there, though at lunch you will find best food at mess. To say it has huge library, but it gets closed at 8:00pm and due to no on-campus hostel, it of no use.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Faculty

3.5

I am from Computer Science background so I would say it has good faculty strength there but quality of faculty is not up to the mark. There is no any foreign faculty here and lots of attitude among faculties for no reason why.

Likes

Here there is no gender separation like boys and girls should be seperate and stuff like that.
It is a autonomous college so courses are changing regularly with the shift in education
Here we have relative grading system therefore there is no ranking and easy to get good grades

Dislikes

We have to pay yearly fees not semester wise it difficult for low income earning families
Money is collected from students for all events happening in the college.
There is a rush for collection of fees at the start of each year and unpaid students might face absent issues

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are moderate but i don't know much about other courses but for civil engineering the average placed ctc is 3 lakh per annum one or two students got higer package but most of the students got lower package as a fresher.
