Remarks

Went in through VITEE entrance exam. There was a admission meeting during which course was decided. Then joined 5 days before first day to get settled in and had my orientation on first day. Cutoff for comp science was 10,000 rank.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is detailed and up to industry standard. Faculty experience was good but due to course selection process you did not always get the best faculty as there is lot of competition. Teaching method was industry standard.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 450000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

campus placements starts in 7th semester. You can get PPOs during summer internships. Average package is at around 4.5 lpa. Highest package would be around 50 lpa. 80% students usually get placed. I decided for higher education post my degree

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees structure is merit based. Better rank means less fees. Fees are high after level 2. Level 3 to level 5 are high fees. Scholarship is present but can be removed pretty easily for general issues like low score in 1 semester.

Campus Life

Campus life is very restricted. Infrastructure is good but college has red tags which monitor students excessively. People are fun as they come from all over india and world. Library is great. Sports facilities are also good.

Hostel Facilities

Meal quality is bad in most messes. Room rent is better than hostel as it allows more freedom. Registration process for hostel is simple but affordability is problematic due to competition. Room size is small.

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

Placement Training and Career development at CIT

In my college , I experienced diversed equality and gained more knowledge by training staffs and assessments

Placement Experience:

One thing I really need to appreciate at CIT is its placement training program. The placement team conducts regular sessions on 1. aptitude 2. coding 3. communication skills 4. group discussions and 5. interview preparation which helped me feel more confident during placements. The trainers were friendly and always encouraged us to improve our skills step by step. They provide continuous guidance and feedback throughout the training process. Mock interviews and one to one assessments helped me to understand my strength and weak areas and I work on improvements . These sessions not only improved my technical and communication skills but also boosted my confidence . The placement training team played an important role in preparing me for career opportunities and industry expectation
