I got placed in this college through single window counselling. I had scored good marks(1153/1200) in my 12th Board exams and my interest towards mechanics and automobile enabled me to opt for Mechanical course in Anna University.
Internships Opportunities
Well, direct internship is offered by many companies during the 6th semester. Companies like Titan, Sundaram Clayton, Siemens and Whirlpool offered summer internships with a stipend of 10-15k rupees.
Placement Experience
Anna University attracts huge industries since its one of the prestigious colleges in India that produces quality engineering graduates. Many high profile companies listed below visited our campus.
College Events
CEG conducts the Kurukshetra - A national level technical symposium in which students from all over India take part. The Fest happens for 3-4 days with more than 10 workshops and many events and guest lectures from various high profile people. The attendance used to hit 30k people taking part on the whole.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fee structure is very nominal, ranging from 4k-15k rupees per semester. They don't collect any hidden charges and they have made the entire fee payment system online to prevent last minute rush. The odd semester fees include the yearly library usage charges, Sports department charges and other maintenance charges.
Fees and Financial Aid
Students with poor economic background can avail various scholarships like the STATE Government BC Quota scholarship of 15k per semester. There are also various scholarship schemes offered by the Alumni and also organisations like Vidhaigal- A CEG startup that sponsors the full time fee of 10-20 people per year.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel fee are also nominal here. In UG, four students will be asked to share a room for the first three years. On the fourth year, each student can avail a single room exclusively for them. PG students have a room exclusively for both years. The rooms are well maintained. The fee is also nominal at 10k-15k rupees per semester.
Exam Structure
We mostly had around 6 theory papers each semesters and not more than 3 practical lab papers. Since Anna University strictly follows the credit system to the teeth, we always had forenoon sessions filled with theory classes, resulting in most of our afternoon sessions to be free. Hence exams were never hectic on us as most of the syllabus would have been already tested in our internal examinations.
Faculty
Well all the faculties I had ties with in my college are more inclined to research oriented learning than conventional book learning. They were far more accessible than my school teachers and this lead to productive projects by working under them. We even had the access to directly visit them in their office without any prior appointments. And they were also pillars for us when we were working internships with third parties.
