What Students Say

Likes

Teachers were very nice and well qualified. They knew to teach us well even with the limited resources at the college.

Dislikes

Infrastructure was not developed fully. Not furnished but I think it would have been improved
Labs lacked necessary equipment to conduct experiments.

Course Curriculum Overview

In terms of relevance the course material was designed by the University. The material lacked relevance to the industry trends. As we were studying between 2012-2016 the books which were published in 1980s/1990s. And mostly the topics were not well understood without teachers' assistance.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

As I had applied through college counselling system and given a Sikh religous exam which gives students from the Sikh background a special provision of admissions. This gave me a fee waiver in the tution fees and I paid 30,000/ year although the fees was 1,00,000/ year

Campus Life

The infrastructure of the college was under construction when I joined. Even there was a student strike in the first semester as the students were disappointed with the claims made by the admin about the college facilities. But slowly things started improving. The was a college body which conducted weekly social and literary events for the students to participate and express their talent.

Admission

I chose this college due to personal reasons as I was not in a position to leave my hometown, and this college is located within 10 mins walk from my home so I thought it would be good. Moreover I got a fee waiver on the tution fees that is why I didn't research about any other college.

Faculty

The faculty members were all well trained and qualified. The all had a rich industry experience to train us. As per the course like all engineering programs the course had 8 semesters to be covered in the period of 4 years. There were 3 MSTs happening at the end of each month from which an assessment is generated by considering 2 best scores from the 3. This assessment was then added to the final examination conducted by the university(I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University) at the end of each sem.

Night Life

The nightlife around the college is really safe as the college is located in a posh locatlity of Amritsar. The hostels are also safe and well managed by the wardens. Apart from this there are many this to explore nearby like eating outlets, malls, gyms etc.

Likes

Events are more frequent here and most of the stars from punjabi industry are called more often for film promotions
No ragging is there infact seniors are friendly and try to help juniors
TPP (training and placement program) is provided that help students to crack placements

Dislikes

Attendance criteria (minimum 75 % is essential to maintain to be eligible to give exams)
Class timings are fixed from 9:15 to 4:35 and you can not enter in between 10 to 12:00 PM as gates are closed for this duration
Strength is rapidly increasing as new courses are introduced which increases competition during placements

Placement Experience:

Placements are decent, from 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement students need to enroll in TPP(Training and placement program) in order to get eligible for campus placement, Many companies visit our campus for eg Capgemini, LNT, ZSCALER, EDIFECS, AMAZON, PWC, WATCHGUARD TECHNOLOGIES etc overall above 200 offerrs are made to our senior batch with the highest package of 32LPA and average package of around 4.5LPA. more than 60% of students get placed .

College Life is Fun, Various activities and events happen in and around college, you got to know about others and crowd is also decent, Mostly Students are from northern regions that is Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand .
Teachers are good and placement coordinators also help students to get good package on campus. a decent package can be bagged by a student if he/she seriously study and obtain a decent CGPA in exam. Make sure you clear all exams till 8th semester.
Infrastructure Is also good, laboratories are fitted with new desktops and campus size is also decent, Tuck shops and various Canteens are available inside the campus. Also Central Library is there inside the campus where students can study in exam t

Dislikes

The curriculum for 1st and 2nd semester is purely based on subjects that you studied in 11th and 12th, the advance versions of those topics are there in 1st and 2nd semester which make it difficult for students to get good grades.
The placement in other branches like Mechanical, electrical is mere, and one can face difficult in getting on campus placement if he/she belongs to these streams. Also Lack of practical knowledge is there in these streams, Theory is more focused.
If one opt for hostels, then the hostel facilities are not as good as it should be , the mess food is pathetic and one can face difficulty if he/she opt for hostel, also campartively hostel fees are also very high, whereas nearby Pg's are cheaper

Placement Experience:

placement is good in our college. Aveage package is 400000, and average package for cse stream is approx 500000. Various companies like alstom, infosys, accenture, TCS, Wipro, amazon, Walmart, JP Morgan chase and co. etc visit campus every year and recruit students. Approx 300+ companies visit campus and above 80% of cse students are placed but In other streams like ECE.EE and ME etc placements are campartively lower and students face difficulty in order to get placed. MY plan is job oriented i also want to get placed on campus and hope so i will get placed in a good company.
