What Students Say

Likes

They train students by conducting periodic tests.
Good environment and clean place. Good lab facilities.
They try to focus on sports recently. It is one of the good thing.

Dislikes

Faculties are not good enough and they are not updated.
Dress code for both boys and girls. So there is no independence in wearing dress.
Placements are also not good enough. If I selected in one company whether I like or not I am not allowed to attend other campus interview.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. That's why I chose this course. There are lot of things to learn which we can implement in practical world. However, instead of conducting theory exams, conducting more practical exams will be beneficial for students. They learn easily by doing all things practically.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 50000 per year

Placement Experience

2.5

After 6th semester, students are eligible to attend campus interviews. There are plenty of colleges visited in our college. However, I am allowed to attend only 2 companies, which is ZOHO & Caparo. Out of 2 companies I got selected in Caparo. Highest package is 400000 and lowest one is 162000. Almost 95% of people got placed. I wish to become a design engineer.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees is 70000 per year. If you are first graduate, 20000 discount per year. So you can pay only 50000. I paid only 50000 per year because I'm First graduate in my family. Moreover lab fees in nearly 2000 per year and development fees is around 1000 per year. If you are SC/ST you can get scholarship of nearly 40000 per year. Other caste people get 8000 per year. Management category people paid nearly 100000 per year.

Campus Life

In our college, they conduct culturals,farewal parties & placement day functions. We can find some of the good books in our library even we can study our academic courses with library books. Good benches & projectors avilable in class rooms. Games like cricket, football and other games offered in campus.

Admission

I applied for thanthai periyar, Gtech, global, Abdul hakkem & Kingston college in Vellore. Due to my family financial situation I'm unable to move from my native city. Because of hostel fees and other accomodation. I wish to study in thanthai periyar government college due to low fees structure. However, during anna university counseling I couldn't get a mechanical course in thanthai periyar. So I chose Kingston which is comparatively better than other colleges in Vellore.

Faculty

Most of the facilities are friendly one, especially vinothraj. He supports me and encourage me at any circumstances. Each semester they conduct 6 tests, 1 model exam and 1 revision exam before go to the main semester exam. Mostly 60 to 70% students passed in semester exams.

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

Likes

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

Find your right path from someone's journey experience

I had applied to three colleges in Vellore the first preference is VIT Vellore institute of technology, and the next Thanthai Periyar Government College Of Engineering and lastly Kingston Engineering College which is nearer to my home. I am not able to join VIT because the course fees are too high for 4 years nearly 3.5 lakhs per year which is not affordable to my parents, And the reason the next college is seats are filled for BE Electronics and communication engineering which I preferred. so finally I joined Kingston engineering college. I availed OBC quota for my admission to Kingston Engineering College. The Admission criteria for B.E ECE is one must complete HSC or 12 the grade in any state of India with a minimum of 65% in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and age should be above 18 years. The admission process is either through the Management quota or through Government quota, I jones through the government quota and the procedure for doing this he/she must apply to Anna University through TNEA....Read More
