"Back to our college days ".

To apply for admission, you have to pass out at least 10th. Then you can fill out the JEECUP form which generally comes in Feb-March and then after the result will come and based on your marks and college cutoffs you can take admission. Reserved cutoff can also help in admission as there is some reserved seat in college and I avail myself of that benefit too. The admission process is a little longer when I took admission but now it's been quite easy and all things are generally online which means you need not go to college for every work.

There is no specific reason why I choose this course. Based on my marks I got this course and I was happy with the course. I don't know about it nowadays but when I was in college the major proportion was of boys i.e, 80:20. The faculty was ok but it can be slightly better as there were not many teachers for specific subjects and workshops. But overall experience and knowledge of the faculty were quite nice as they had passed Btech and some even Mtech. Term exams were always on time and results too.

If talking about the eligibility to appear in placement then you have to be the student of final year( 5and 6 semesters). I too appeared in the placement exam. Several popular companies like ACC CEMENT, ULTRA TECH, TECH MAHINDRA, etc came during my course duration. Not many little amounts of students were only selected in placement and I was not one of them so the placement percentage was quite low (10-15). After passing the course I choose better to prepare for competitive exams like SSC JE, RRB JE, and others.

Generally, government colleges have low fees as compared to private ones. Per year fees were approximately 11k-12k when I was studying. I didn't see any hike in fees structure during my time. The scholarship is the best part of the diploma course when you are studying in especially government colleges as you can apply for a scholarship, everyone does and your whole fees will be returned along with the scholarship. When I was in college I applied for a scholarship and got it every time. Thanks to the Up government scholarship program.

The annual fest had been organized for each year when I was in college and it was generally organized in the winter ( Dec-Jan). Sometimes tech fest was also organized but not at regular intervals. Talking about library facilities I didn't borrow any books from the library but my mates did and I used theirs. It was easy to issue any book, major course-related books were available but quantities were a little less. Every year's games were conducted just after the annual fest in winter. My friends and I particularly participated in some games and won some medals too. When I took admission I was not familiar with my mates. Classmates had created a group on what's an app and then we communicated and became more familiar with one another. Group also helped in providing important information about the college, exams, seminars and several important things. There were not any specific clubs but we meet or communicate with one another through Facebook and WhatsApp.
