What Students Say

Likes

The infrastructure of this college is not much good but I liked the faculty members, they are cooperative and caring
You can join this college of ur a middle class person. Because the Management fees for various Engineering courses starts from 12,5000-180000.

Dislikes

The infrastructure is not at all good the college timings is very less like from 9.30 to 1:00.
Also there are no placements in this college, they tell at the beginning that they have a lot of placements and they'll show the posters which are very old.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Honestly, there are no such curriculum activities that influenced me but annually there are several events that are conducted which include Hackathon, Battle of Science etc. Well, Some Teachers must be changed for some subjects as those teachers don't do student-to-teacher interaction as well as teaching. The board exams are quite difficult but you can pass. If you want more gpa then you have to study the entire notes which are provided by the teachers

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 165000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The tution fee in this college is very budget friendly as compared to other colleges in Bangalore for CSE. So If you are a middle class person then this college provides good fee structure. I studied my 1st year for 1,65,000 and currently I'm in 2nd year and now I am paying 1,50,000 for Information Science and Engineering course. And there is government scholarship that can be applied through government scholarship portal which will be informed by the college when the portal opens. Like NSP and SSP scholarships. Also the area very few placement opportunities in this college

Campus Life

Here are the list of few events which are conducted in our college in the specific month annually 1. College day- March or April 2. Ethnic day- March or April 3. Battle of Science- September 4. Hackathon- June 5. Sports day- in April Our College Library has a wide range of Books related to Engineering and other courses. And has a vast collection of question papers of previous years and model papers from different schemes. Every Class has a projector and some lectures are taken through ppt's etc. Also the college must get more extra curricular activities and different clubs in the college.

Admission

The Admission process was simple on our first visit they will provide a brochure and a fee structure of all the courses then we have to decide the course further they will provide an application form for the respective course. I did not go through the Government quota I got admission through the management quota for the information science and engineering course. The college must improve the placements and conduct more extracurricular activities

Faculty

3.5

Yes As I said before that the teaching faculty is good and the student to teacher interaction is also. If the student has some doubts then they can clear at any time. The notes are given in the college Xerox shop by the teachers so there's no need for buying costly text books

My Honest Experience at CMRIT -Academics, placements and campus life

Likes

Faculties are good helpful nature and teaches well.
The aspects I appreciated the most are supportive faculty, good placements, and vibrant.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course at CMRIT mainly because the curriculum is updated as per VTU guidelines and includes modern subjects like AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, IoT and Cloud Computing along with strong core fundamentals. The inclusion of labs, mini-projects, and electives influenced my decision a lot. The curriculum prepares us well for real-world applications through project-based learning, internships, hackathons, industrial visits, and certification courses. Concepts taught in class are directly applied in labs and projects, which helps during placements and higher studies. One area for improvement is adding more industry-oriented electives and reducing some outdated theory portions. More hands-on workshops and coding practice in every semester would be helpful. Exams are conducted regularly - 2 internals per semester plus one semester-end exam. The timing is well planned with enough gap for preparation. Difficulty level is moderate; if you attend classes regularly and practice previous papers, you can score well. Overall, the curriculum is relevant, comprehensive, and career-focused.

Opportunities for placements

Likes

Our campus is equipped with modern infrastructure
Every corner of campus has high speed wifi
There is sports facilities available for people who are interested in sports

Placement Experience:

As I am a 1st year student i couldn't provide much to this but as I have heard from senior the college provides an 6 to 8 LPA average package and companies like PhonePe, Juspay, eurofins, Hitachi visits the college for placements. Overall the placements are good if u are a hardworking student

Likes

Great faculty, modern campus, and 1:1 ratio
Rigorous curriculum, top labs, and 1:1 ratio
Vibrant campus life, excellent mentorship, infrastructure and ratio

Placement Experience:

Campus placement drives begin in the 7th semester with companies offering average packages around 4-6 LPA. While company visits vary each year, our professors work hard to provide us with strong domain knowledge and practical skills . Ultimately securing a role depends on personal efforts and i planned to leverage these skills for off campus placements

The great review

Likes

very first thing i like in the college is the wifi network,
the library which is very peace and silent
average places to take photos and nearby there is nandi hills to visit

Dislikes

i dislike the distance of the college, its too large, should walk soo much
the cost of stationaries in the general store
i dont think so faculy are that much expertise , only countable people worth it

Course Curriculum Overview:

see i have choosed this course because it is very relatable to CSE, coz my ranking was not sufficient to get this course. the course which i took "Information Science and Engineering" is really a good course. they make us real world engineers. the area they shld actually improve is, hiring worthable faculty.

Review for a Future aspirant

Likes

We have a temporary campus .which was taken as rent in goverment engeneering college raichur .and permanent campus was yet to finish by the time juniors come the permanent campus will be getting finished.just needed the proper campus no improvments
The campus life was not as expected by a student because here the cluns are not very active like in any other colleges , u can enjot a lot with your friends in your hostel.
Every branch has a faculty adviser we can meet them and discuss our problems with them .the faculry were very good they were well experienced ,they teach in general way as any teacher does on a digital board.

Dislikes

The placement cell is not that good , the students were not getting places for good amount of package as expected .
The labs were not well maintained that should be resolved that is the main problem in this college as well as library we have a very small library which is in a size of a regular class
Hostel was not within the campus which makes some difficulty to walk through the streets with roaming buses and cars and bikes , in our college boy girl ration was very less it is 1: 7 like that.

Placement Experience:

From 6th semester students are eligible for taking interships and they get placed in 7th semester and have to leave campus after 8th semester the highest would somewhere aroubd 20 lpa and avg would be 9 to 10 lpa . I plan to do Mtech in any reputed college by writing gate . The percentage of studebts getting placed are 70 %

I had opted this course because I am interested in research field. the factors that made me choose institution aa it is best for playing courses which has the high infrastructure need for research. Steps college as a part of admission procedure are as follows to apply for CUCET examination after qualifying in that examination we will be called for counselling, in counselling they will prepare merit list according to the marks obtained in the future of examination and 12th marks according to that they will provide seat for us.

I had applied to other colleges like RNSIT and KSIT , but I myself cancelled the admission coz the colleges were to far and the images of the colleges were not as expected In our college ( CEC ) they take admissions through KCET , ComedK and Management. The students who took KCET and ComedK were opted for this college through KSEEB ( GOVT ) For management the student should have written KCET exam and got some score ( rank does not matter ) then the student will be given admission Some students were giving admission through special reservations...Read More
