Galgotias University Greater Noida, BE, Automobile Engineering

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

My branch is mechanical..we know that very fewer companies come to hire students in this branch... In this university, some companies come to hire students of the mechanical branch... But most of them are the noncore companies... The only core company which is collaborated with this university is JBM (JAI BHARAT MARUTI) COMPANY... You can opt for them or u can prepare for the further examination like GATE, ESE etc..

Internships Opportunities

Yes, they provide... But you have to fill a form for that within the university to the dean of the respective branches... Outside internships companies also come in the university but u have to pay for that...

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements and job opportunities are good for those who are thinking of taking admission in CS or mca BCA courses... The placement of the other courses like mechanical engineering civil engineering and electrical engineering is not so good... I'm from mechanical engineering I have seen that the only core company which is collaborated with the university is JBM (JAI BHARAT MARUTI) and other companies are noncore.. So u can opt for further preparation like GATE ESE SSC JEE etc...

College Events

There are lots of events which are celebrated in this university like the fresher's party in the month of September and the annual fest in the month of Feb... And actors singers director also come for the promotions of their movies... Like this year Abhishek Bachchan, Vicky Kaushal, tapsee Pannu came for the promotion of manmarziyan movie...

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is quite expensive from the other UPTU colleges but it is less than universities like Sharda, amity etc.. So we can say that fee structure is feasible... My branch fee is 1.59 lacs per annum and hostel fee is 1 lac per annum non AC and 1.4 lacs per annum with AC...

Fees and Financial Aid

If you got 85 % or above in your 12th..so u can avail some discount in your fee. Otherwise, no scholarship is given to the students in the university...

Campus Life

One thing I like about this university is they focus on cleaning all the floors, toilets etc...gender ratio is balanced... Laboratories are good. There are lots of machines which are in my course... So overall they have provided us with a good lab... They also support sports like taekwondo cricket football etc... Our 2nd-year student has also played taekwondo in commonwealth games... Also, there is a number of debates happened in the university level... Our students also participate with other colleges too...

Hostel Facilities

Mess food is quite eatable... But some time u have to sacrifice with your food because of the taste... But overall food quality is good as compared to the other college hostels... The main thing of the mess is that it is clean and neat... They serve with proper hygiene... So u don't have to worry about cleanliness and hygiene of the food.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

If u interact with your seniors. They will help u but u should go to good students... They can help you in providing study materials, can guide you on how to manage your course-related problems...

Exam Structure

Two internal exams known as CAT(continuous assessment test) taken between the semester both are 50 marks each and semester exams are of 100 marks each. But the overall result is made by taking the 30 % marks from the internal(CAT1 and CAT 2)and 50% marks are taken from semester and rest of the 20% is taken from your attendance, assignments, behavior and responses in your class... So that's the criteria of the exams in this university...

Admission

I have submitted a form of galgotias university engineering entrance exam(GEEE) in the month of March or April then after that, an exam was held in my city in the month of may... And then after a month, an offer letter is sent to your address if ur qualified for the exam...

Faculty

The faculty of this university is qualified... All of them are from IITs, NITs or other higher colleges of India... Most of the facilities of the mechanical branch are from south India... So u have to talk with them in English always... But they help u if u go with your problems in your course...

A honest review about NIET(fees, internship,faculties,placements,and everything you need to know before joining)

Likes

The quality of study is very appreciable. As our syllabus is very updated. Also the practical knowledge in colleges very good as well.
New buildings for 1st year as to prevent ragging is a very plus point. This prevent first year student from ragging and also give them a very friendly and good environment as well.
The placements are very good as in terms of quantity and quality as well many many companies came here and also many big companies which do not come in any other colleges in greater Noida also come in NIET.

Dislikes

The one thing I decide is high requirement of attendance which is 85% attendance by this criteria we get less time in fore hours kill enhancement and learning other things.
Also the coding culture is quite not good for 1st year as well so this thing also I don't like.
The other thing I don't like is that the assignments pressure was quite high in semester one and very very much assignments was given to our branches as well.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for setting in the campus placements is from 6 semester. And for internships the students become eligible from 4th semester and the internship is mandatory for every student. The companies visiting the college are quite in number. The highest placements which was offered during the ongoing placement is 44 lpa. And the average packages for company and profiles of a days 7 to 8 LP. The percentage of students getting placements are very good as 80 to 90% students are getting placed. My plans after getting the degree is to get the highest placement

one of the best things about iiit Lucknow is the senior junior culture senior 8 January approachable and helpful
IIIT Lucknow has developed are reputation for its coding culture competitive programming open source project and hackettrons are deeply immediate
another unique aspect is the gender ratio which is the round one girl for every 2.5 poise compared to take institute is relatively balanced and healthy

Dislikes

compare to other reputed College Lucknow does not have very vibrant fest culture there are fewer culture music
hostel life has its advantages but the dormitories system from 2nd year onward is a big negative for many living with 8 to 12 student
most of faculty members simply come to class 11 lecture and their leave without much interest in melting student or classifying doubts

Placement Experience:

student are eligible for internship from second year and for job placement i think its from 3rd year highest is 1.45crpa avg 33lpa median is 26lpa this year around 201 from 209 get placement to that make around 96 %

I also liked the ground and sports facilities of our college . Our college has 3 big grounds and a sac also a gym which has latest equipments and many more things.
The fests of our college is amazing , recently a fest called kashiyatra happened which is biggest fest of our college

In our college the equipments in manufacturing practice are very old they are rusted and facilities don't even want to tell about those equipments. They are lazy .
Our college IIT bhu don't have their boundaries it is connected to bhu that's why clashes happened every month . Students of IIT and bhu fight every month and the service of proctor in IIT bhu is very disrespectful,they are lazy and don't take actio

Placement Experience:

Our college IIT bhu provides placement at end of year companies came for hiring students and hire them . Our IIT has 2nd rank in terms of placement in all iits. At the end of 3rd year students became eligible for campus placements. Our college also provide internship in third year companies came for internship in our college.

Inside Experience of my Time in University

Likes

I really liked learning in the Electrical Workshop. The Smithy Shop and the Welding Shop were my favourites. The Faculty there, were truly very enthusiastic and not stressful. The Electrical Workshop helps us to learn the hands on skills, of labour.
I liked the Cultural Fiesta, which is an Annual Event, where different Artistic, Technical and Sport Activities were prevalent. My favourites were Jam, Debate, Artwork, Basketball, Skits and Corner Plays, Creative Writing Sessions, Onstage activities
I liked the beautiful diversity and greenery of my University, different departments, crossing one another, everyone is friendly with one another. No unnecessary mess, during the class sessions, and there were not any such restrictions while we skip.

Dislikes

I did not like the high fees structure, which surrounded with our Course, as Btech is a vast expanded course, that requires more practical skill mastery, rather than theoretical study. I think the fees structure must be revised for deserving students
The Faculty were pretty knowledgeable, but I guess they did not put their knowledge into full action. Only a few Teachers focused upon enlightening the students with profitable learning. The use of resources and knowledge is indeed must for such.
In comparision to the high fees structure, I realised that the internship and campus placement opportunities were not adequate, to amass all the departments and their students. A Company Campus Pool is not something for both Commerce and Engineering

Placement Experience:

Placements are both on and off-campus based. Placements are usually common for both IT and Non-IT students, Technical or Non-Technical. Students become eligible, in their final years to pursue internships or acquire placements. Usually students from Computer Science and Engineering avail more placement opportunities. The Medical Department have more options of Employability. Companies like HCL, Byju's, Extramarks, IBM and other local companies like Stambh Power Systems, Pieinfocomm and others have arrived. But the placement ratio needs to be increased. Off-Campus Placements are more successful. Highest Package can be 8lpa CTC to average package be 2.5lpa CTC, with profiles of assistance and associates. Atleast 30% students get placed on average. My plans are based on Learning in different ways.

College infrastructure and no one is serious about placement
TPO and Director behaviour they are totally unable to make your future bright

I would like to inform uh that electronic and communication is a very good trade to choose. So many carreer opportunities if you will go in in industrial area, or in government sector. Make some connections with ur seniors others it is tough to enter in industry for freshers.

I wanted to go to VIPS, Pitampura. I did get admission there but they did not update the 4 year course policy which was newly released by the govt on their website and ipu website. Due to this my budget messed up and I had to back up. I specially prepared for this exam but in the end I ended up going to a private university where I feel like I wasted my time and money. This university is not how it may look like. It may be good in terms of fees but the faculty and courses that get taught are like as if pursuing two degrees with no meaning. The admission process was simple and east. Fill an application form and go to GCET and get everything done there that's all. No complicated thing....Read More
