What Students Say

Likes

Many lab facilities for working even after college hours
Friendly lab staffs and help you to incubate ideas
Overall a very good college for improving your skillset

Dislikes

College campus is very far, almost at the border of Kancheepuram
If you are someone who doesn’t believe in the concept of exams, then this college won’t suit you
Somewhat a pressurized environment, giving first preference to academic marks

Course Curriculum Overview

Regarding that, Since mechanical engineering is fading away in many colleges, CIT offers you great facilities even for core branches! They also enable students to learn coding aswell as designing softwares for being future proof they also conduct baga competitions and many competitions for core branches

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 150000 per year

Internships Opportunities

There are internship opportunities which is mandatory for you to complete in your sem holidays, for mechanical students the chairman of the institute owns a core based company and students are trained in there

Placement Experience

Cit prepares the student to appear for placement right after their third year, they also have a placement team which focuses on this particular matter. There are many companies that appear for recruiting, tech mahindra, saint gibain etc. the average placement is 3,00,000 and highest of last year was 52lpa

Fees and Financial Aid

Campus Life

Cit offers many options, both technical and non technical fests. Students perform in hackathons, and do skillracks etc. There are many clubs including connects, immerse and much more which help you overcome your stage fear and develop your non technical skills. There is also sport facilities which you can join

Admission

I scored a cutoff of 153.5 and the college availabe through government quota for me was RIT, SVCE, REC but since they dont provide much importance to core subjects, I was in a lookout for a college which provided good quality education even for the core branches so I opted CIT

Faculty

The factulties help you grasp the concept and are available to answer your questions Regarding the exam pattern, There are 8 sems overall and inbetween there are practicals, internal(1&2) and model exams Regarding the difficulty of the exam: If you spend atleast 2 hours of your day preparing for the exam from day 1 you can easiy score good marks

Night Life

The hostellers can roam around the campus until 8 for food or just play in the ground. There are three canteens in this college which provide decent quality food. They provide both veg and non-veg in the canteen

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.
