Best Four Years

College administration was on really able shoulders who took on the responsibilities seriously. They asked for students feedback on a regular basis and made improvements whenever required. Hostel canteen,lab,classrooms were really good. Cannot comment on

I had appeared for IIT JEE and OJEE. My score in IIT JEE was poor. However I had scored 2546 (general) and 612(ladies quota) in OJEE. So I got admitted in SIT a reputed private engineering college of Odisha. My father is a electrical engineer in BHEL so I was tempted to choose EEE as my engineering course.

The year is divided into semesters each containing 4-5 course and 2 field experience. This gave us a strong knowledge on the subjects as well as hand-on experience. Along with the technical details we were also taught disciplinary skills which groomed us from within.

As our course was electrical and electronics we did our internship from a power plant. Staffs were helpful and cleared our doubts whenever possible. TCS,Infosys,Wipro, Vedanta,Jindal,CESCO,Nokia were some of the companies which offered internship with a few local companies.

Placement was 100% with a few students who opted for higher studies. We were provided with extra classes on aptitude and soft skills. Students were placed in reputed companies like TCS,Infosys,Wipro,Mindtree,Satyam,Vedanta,CTS,Atos origin,BEL,State electricity board.

Silicon holds cultural event Noesis every year which is internal to the college staff and students. Go-Freak,a technical event is held annually which invites all the colleges in the state. Various events on new age techs,quiz and robotics is organized.

The fee structure during our time in 2005-09 was reasonable and the facilities.

Scholarship was based on the OJEE,12th and 10th score. Students who scored 90% and above were given 100% scholarship on the course fee. And the scholarship varied as per the score. Those who joined on management quota availed education loan from bank.

Gender ratio was 60:40 (male:female). As I stated these were the best 4 years of my life. We had fun studying as well as bunking classes together. There were compulsory soft skill sessions and attendance should be 75% for all. Sports meet was held every 2 years. People who are enthusiastic on sports could avail the facility after 5pm daily which was also open on weekends whole day. Yoga and aerobics were part of curriculum. Movies were shown on weekends. Technical competitions were held every year which was open for all colleges .

There was separate hostel for girls and boys. Rooms were 2 sharing and space adequate. There was enough hostel rooms as the authority had planned to make the college fully residential. Canteen food was good and healthy and everything was kept clean.

All of are still connected with each other thanks to the social networking sites specially Facebook events and make it whenever possible. There was healthy ragging in the first year of the college but then we had very good relation with our seniors. They helped us with the previous notes and exam papers.

There were semester exams along with 3 internal exams. Lab tests were held bi-annually. We never found the tests hectic. In fact the whole college experience was enjoyable specially the lab sessions which provided us real time experience.

The faculty is highly qualified with Ph.D or M.Tech in the respective fields. Students were encouraged to interact with their guides who supervised on regular basis.
