What Students Say
Likes
- Campus environment is quite nice. With 300 acres of space and 10000+ students, it is among the best. Seperate regions for boys hostels and girls hostels across the campus as well. Excellent shopping area and food complexes.
- Infrastructure is class-leading. Modern environment, cameras, and digital displays. Most rooms are air conditioned.
- Close proximity to local patiala markets ensures easy access to fruits, medicines, restaurants, clothes, public transport, and various other amenities
Dislikes
- Placements: the economic slump is partially to be blamed, but overall really poor job opportunities.
- Attendance: Strict regulations of having attendance of atleast 75% is bad.
- Cost: 25-30 lacs for education is unreasonable and too expensive even more the upper middle class people
Course Curriculum Overview
I got Mechanical in spot round. I was getting electrical, but traditionally it is a lot tougher, so ended up with Mechanical. Even in such branches, modern technologies like AI, Ml, and robotics should be included. Decades old engineering drawing subjects were transitioned to CAD in our batch as well. Better time table scheduling is a must
Internships Opportunities
Our college had no compulsory summer intern, but has compulsory 6 month intern. Combining both, some of the top companies include rubriks, Google, Apple, JPMC, Expedia, JSP, and more. Most companies also offer PPOs to the students.
Placement Experience
Campus placement is offered. Minimum CTC is 5, this year in middle of placements max CTC is 52 lpa. Last year it was 1.25 cr 70-80% students got placed last year. This year till August 2024 for the batch of 2025, only 30 companies have come, hiring not more than 200 students out of 2500 approx. Notable companies visiting this year include Apple, Google, Bain, JPMC, Zomato, Cloudera, etc. After getting a degree I want to get SDE role in a top firm.
Fees and Financial Aid
Semester wise fees. 2 semesters per year, 210000 average per semester. Includes tuition, development, and health related charges. Top 10% students get scholarship anywhere from 25% to 100% on the fees. Hostel fees is additional, Rs. 50000 approx per semester for stay and about 25k for mess fees every semester. Additional financial aids and scholarships available to economically weaker sections. No financial benefits for people belonging to the reserves classes or Punjab Quota.
Campus Life
Annual fests are quite good. We have annual musical fest that is called Saturnalia, which included a concert from a popular singer and goes on for 3 days. In addition, we also have the annual food fest, where variety of cuisines are offered and popular regional and global brands can be seen. It is quite good. Many more events like society fair and internship fair are limited to the freshers only. I got admission during the pandemic, so I haven't experienced the fresher events, but as such students always praise about it.
Hostel Facilities
Excellent. Hostels are far better than most colleges. Most students get either 1 seater or 2 seater rooms. Very few 3/4 seater rooms. Being situated in heart of Punjab, the Punjabi food is quite good. It's no 5-star hotel, nor is it a typical dhaba with great food. It is a really reasonable and home like food offering.
Admission
I applied for LNM, Jaypee, Thapar, VIT, etc. VIT was too far and language barrier considering I am a hindi-speaking North Indian was a issue. LNM cutoffs were really high. Jaypee I had a chance but had heard that the environment is quite unreasonably strict.
Faculty
About 1:15 faculty to student ratio across the campus. Some of the best faculty members include Dr. Rajindra Roul sir, Dr. Anurag Tiwari, Dr. Rajnish Mallick. Some of the worst faculty members include Dr. AM Gadadde, for passing rasist comments and being biased towards certain demographics. Dr. Godara is an incredible teacher but can sometimes be intimidating and be a bit unfair on genuine students.
