An honest review from a student's perspective

Overall, I would like to say that when it comes to faculty and education, JCE is the best. However, you would be not much satisfied with the campus and placements. Having said that, I'm really glad and proud to be a part of JCE.

Since our college is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, the curriculum and exam structure is framed by them. To be honest, curriculum framed by VTU is quite vast but, it is relevant and research driven. It is quite difficult to score in VTU exams since the difficulty level is high. But, at the same time, it tests a student's basics to the core and hence helps at the professional level.

I won't say that JCE is best in providing placements but it's intermediate as compared to other colleges. Placements occur frequently in the final year but with a moderate pay scale. When it comes to internships, I think this is something JCE lacks in providing info. There isn't any proper info on internships by the placement cell. However, overall the placement cell strives hard and tries its best to facilitate each and every student.

Usually, there are many events occurring in and around JCE. There are many events which are organized by each department for its students such as freshers, farewell and others. But, the prime event is the annual techno-cultural festival called "ODYSSEY", which is a two-day event wherein participants from all over the places come and participate.

The course that I studied was Bachelor of Engineering. Normally, the fees are 68,000 in which 50,000 is towards tuition fees and 18,000 is college fees. For the first year, the college fees are 18,500 whereas tuition fees are same. Then, there are many other expenses such as department activities fund, examination fees, and such others may be approximated to 5,000. This information is applicable to the students admitted through CET examination. I don't know much about expenses of a student admitted under management seat.

The office staff members provide frequent updates regarding scholarship through notices. However, they are also displayed on notice boards. There are many scholarships which can be availed according to one's caste and income info. I availed my scholarship by applying to National Service Portal online and submitting documents in the college.

Campus life is good. The environment is friendly and there isn't much harshness or noisy conditions. A study-friendly environment I'd say. The gender ratio is almost the same. Extracurricular activities are a bit less. However, sports activities are carried out frequently. Labs are well equipped and competitions such as Roborace are organized wherein students not only participate in the race but also build the robot which they are using to race. Apart from these events, there are many workshops which are conducted by respective departments. All the technical events and workshops are very good and impart practical knowledge to students.

Alumni and senior students are very helpful and co-operative with juniors. In fact, all the events that are organized in JCE are with the help of teamwork and coordination between juniors and seniors.

I got into the college through KCET merit counseling. I was shortlisted in the first round and without any hesitation, I opted for it. After counseling, I was informed to visit the college within a week for document submission and Verification. I visited the college and the whole process went quite smoothly as office staff members were co-operative and after a month I was called to attend the classes.

Frankly speaking, faculty in Jain College of Engineering is excellent. Especially, faculty of Electronics and Communication Department is brilliant. Faculty members are so much friendly, co-operative and knowledgeable that they can solve any problem within the syllabus quite easily. Not only regarding exam syllabus, but they also help if a student is interested in carrying out some other innovative tasks.
