The college of opportunities!

CMRIT accepts students in three ways - either you clear the Karnataka CET entrance examination (applicable to students from Karnataka only), or clear the COMEDK entrance examination or by management. I was admitted to CMRIT through KCET. My rank was around 11312 and I comfortably got a seat in the esteemed college. KCET conducts three rounds of counseling after filling in your respective choices of the college and course. Having got CMRIT as the option in the very first round, I chose to join the college since it was famous not only for its academic achievements but also its extracurricular activities such as project competitions, start-up ventures, non-technical activities, etc. The admission procedure was smooth after having reached the college for admissions. It was professional from the beginning till the very end.

I always had an interest in computers and hence was looking forward to joining this course. The computer science faculty of CMRIT is considered one of the best in Bangalore and joining the college proved the news to be right. Almost all the teachers teaching have a Ph.D. degree to their name and are very kind and supportive towards each student's requirements academically. The teachers encourage us to take up research projects and help us through them. This helps in gaining good practical experience in the field. The teachers make use of innovative methods in teaching to help us learn and understand better. Exams are conducted at regular intervals to ensure a student's progress. The exams are conducted in such a way that a student who has prepared honestly for such exams does not face any issue in clearing the external exams conducted by VTU. Thus, not only do the teachers aim at covering the syllabus but also help us gain experience in the field with a practical approach.

The college encourages internships from the very first year in various fields such as full-stack development, AI ML, cyber security, marketing, etc. Various companies such as MNCs and start-ups hire for internship opportunities. Internships are made mandatory for each student. The college also houses the "Centre of Excellence" which constantly researches various topics and projects. The students join these centers and help with the research and projects which act as not only an opportunity to be a part of a research project but also an internship. Such initiatives help students in having a taste of the actual industry even before getting placed.

The college is known for its high percentage of placements. The college conducts a special program known as TYL, which stands for Tie Your LACES. This program trains each student in Language, Aptitude, Coding, Experiential Learning, and Soft Skills - the skills necessary for cracking any interview process. The companies start hiring students at the end of the third year. The message is spread well beforehand for the students to prepare for the interviews. Around 95% of the students are placed each year from the various companies that visit. Be it an MNC a mass recruiting company or a start-up, CMRIT students are placed in each of them. The major companies that come in for hiring are - Amazon, Cimpress, Deloitte, Wipro, Cognizant, etc. The average package offered is around 8 LPA. The college also encourages further studies such as Mtech, MS, MBA, etc., and helps them prepare for examinations such as CAT, GRE, GATE, etc.

The fee structure doesn't vary each year. It's the same from the first year till the very last year. The fee structure varies for each admission process. If a student is admitted through KCET, the fees are around 90k-1 lac, 2.5 lac through COMEDK, and management fees as discussed during admissions. Various types of financial help, as well as scholarships, are awarded to outstanding students, not only on the basis of their academic achievements but also sports achievements. There are various other opportunities for students from the government in gaining scholarships as is mentioned by the college from time to time and be accepted without any problem. The campus placements are a plus in CMRIT. Various companies visit the college every year and accept over 95% of the students. Name any type of company, from an MNC to a mass recruiting company, you'll find many such companies visiting CMRIT and providing employment to an ample of them. The college also supports off-campus placements wholeheartedly!

CMRIT provides ample of other things than just academics. CMRIT homes several technical as well as non-technical clubs. Technical Clubs help in the technical development (coding, soft skills, etc.) of a student whereas nom technical clubs such as theatre, music, dance (many many more..) aim at providing a break from academics and a form of a break to the students. CMRIT conducts fests such as the "Cultura" which homes several colleges for various events, "Aura" the interdepartmental nontechnical fest, "Spardha" the sports fest, etc to keep the students engaged. CMRIT provides sports facilities such as cricket, football, basketball, tennis, swimming, boxing, kabaddi, etc., and encourages students to participate in inter-college competitions.

All in all, CMRIT helps students to engage with each other and build a culture of "life".

The CMRIT Campus House also called the hostel is an amazing place to be in. There are different blocks for girls and boys. Each room is provided with a study table, a cot, and a wardrobe. They provide high-speed WiFi to all. The rooms are huge enough for accommodation. There are single, double, triple, and four sharing rooms.
