RECM - Underrated but a great future ahead.

Course curriculum is designed by UPTU which is relatively old. But our college makes sure to train us as per the skills required to get placed in the market. Moreover, the autonomous status of this college is under review . Once the college gets autonomous, new syllabus and courses would be designed by college. Love for Mechanics compelled me to chose civil engineering. Frequent lab and industrial visits help us to learn relevant application of our textbook knowledge. Scope for improvement could be joint ventures with some prestige organisations . This would help students with industrial trainings and great learning experience. Two class tests and one final sems are conducted within a year. Level - Moderate.

Five students got shortlisted for L&T Young Fellowship Program and three of them were able to convert it into pre placement offers. Ten students were shortlisted for Tata Steel and one student was able to convert it. He was offered the post of Graduate Engineer Trainee . Majority of them did their unpaid internship from various government departments like CPWD, UPPWD, DFCCIL etc.

Students are eligible to appear for placement from seventh semester. In Civil Engg Dept 40 students enrolled for campus placement and 28 students were offered jobs till the final semester. L&T Infra, Tata Steel, Prism Cement, ACC Cement are some of the prime recruiters. Highest package offered was 7.5 lpa , lowest 4.2 lpa and median was 5.5 lpa. Profiles offered were Project Associate ,BIM Engineer, Site Supervisor, Area Head (Sales). 70% of students got placed in the first batch of this college from civil engg dept.

I had two options VIT Chennai (Metallurgy) and RECM (Civil). Both the colleges were relatively new. VITC high fees and other expenses made me chose RECM. Moreover I had an inclination towards Civil. Admission are on basis of JEE Mains Score. Under rank of 75-80k one can easily land in this college. No GD or PI's are conducted for admission. I messed up my JEE Mains and BITS entrance so had no chance for NIT's and BITS. At our times admission were on basis of UPSEE ranks. My rank was 4923 so only available option was RECM and RECK in govt colleges. Chose RECM because RECK didn't offer civil engg.

There is no as such fixed faculty to student ratio. Professors holding max expertise in the domain subjects are appointed. HOD's makes sure students relate subjects with real industry knowledge. Young and fun loving professors, easy to approach and will guide you in every aspect of life. Baljeet Yadav - HOD Civil Department, Ex AE in Military Engg Services Saket Russia - Head Placement Cell and Associate Professor Civil Engg Subodh Kumar - Associate Professor Civil Engg, Soil Mechanic is his forte. No faculty is below moderate here. I have already mentioned some great professors. Two class tests and one final semester exam are conducted within a semester. Curriculum is moderate to hard. If one is consistent with the classes he/she can easily clear exams. Course curriculumm is bit old but college makes sure to trainn the students as per current industry requirements.

Worst nightlife in or around location. College is located at remote location on Agra highway, nearest town is 8 kms from college. Gym , cafeterias, daily needs stores are located within the campus. Nearest town Mainpuri closes by 10 pm. Campus in timings 7 pm for both boys and girls. No such hostel in timings for boys but for girls it is 7 pm . Inside the campus, spot behind workshop is great for lovebirds. Outside the college few fine dining and clubs available. Locality isn't safe around after 10 pm at night.
