What Students Say
Likes
- Fee waiver for junior college alumni making the course a little more affordable
- The academic curriculum is strong enough with relevant subjects for logic and reasoning building
- University offers student exchange programs starting from 5th sem onwards and also offers internship
Dislikes
- Faculty members do not meet the expectations in terms of teaching or subject expertise
- The university often delays exam results longer than expected which is very inconvenient and stressful to me
- Students cant review their exam papers which makes it difficult for us to understand mistakes or contest unfair grading. There is no transparency in paper checking
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum according the market trends is absolutely not relevant. We barely learn any market relevant skills. The curriculum purely focuses on developing logic and reasoning abilities and is designed on the blooms taxonomy framework. The curriculum has its pros and cons. Furthermore, they rely on lecture centric teaching approach that is the lecture is one sided and less engaging. Often boring the students that leads to a low class count and less attendance.
Internships Opportunities
We have an internship that is offered by our college in collaboration with binghampton university in NY. The placement cell in my college offers various internships to students and other workshops etc
Placement Experience
Yes our college has a campus placement cell that facilitates placements for students. They collaborate with different companies across different sectors as in IT finance etc. Top recruiters are bosch, accenture, HDFC bank. Highest package was inr 35lpa and the median package is inr 7lpa. I plan on doing master of science after the course
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees for every year of the 4 year course is 2,80,000 rupees. It also includes additional charges that is the current semester exam fees, backlog exam fees (if applicable). I pay a reduced fee of 2.5 lakhs yearly. This is due to my status as an ex student from Vishwakarma Junior college, which qualifies me for a fee waiver.
Campus Life
The campus life is moderately interesting. We do have a annual college festival called vishwayaan that gives several opportunities for students to network and manage and socialize. Students get an opportunity to show their talents in dance music theatre sports etc. The facilities are decent classrooms and libraries are spacious
Admission
The cut off to get into a prestigious government engineering universities for open category student is 90-95% So students who are average in studies but want to study CS regardless have to resort to private institutions which require money to get into. The admission experience is extremely stressful and makes us lose faith in the overall education system as these private institutions are simply extorting money because they know students are helpless and vulnerable and the government institutions are casteists making us believe we are less worthy of a seat or even education at all, cuz we belong to the open category.
Faculty
Very few faculty members are approachable, rest are less engaging or sometimes even rude. The administration or management is also very inconsistent. Students rely on youtube and online resources to clear doubts as faculty is not dependable at all. We have projects and assignments for internal assessment and written exams and lab practicals for our end semesters. Surprisingly, the difficulty of the exams is from low to moderate yet majority of students fail to clear all subjects. And also, there is no way a student can review the papers after, to check for an unfair grading which makes us lose faith in the faculty. The backlog fees is also a burden.
