Good, But not great!

The curriculum of Visveswaraya Technological University(VTU) is very fair and well designed. It is renowned for its fairness in examination and meets modern day requirements to become a good software engineer. Since this university is of governments and providing curriculum from a long period of time, where many of the students have been successful is a factor that influenced me to choose this course. It exposes you to wide range of oppurtunities. You get to learn basics of everything and can choose your masters(if needed). The curriculum prepares us for the real-world applications in a great manner. All the evolving technologies will be included in our syllabus, with strong foundation of basics. The course can be improved in terms of more practical exams and interships, rather than theory. The exam evaluation should be little student oriented. The exams happen every 5 months, which goes for a month. Exams are quite difficult, papers are not consistent. Evaluation is very strict.

Samsung Innovation Campus, Capgemini lab, Swizosoft provide internships to meritious students of 4th year. There will be an entry test to get into these. They give stipend based on perfomance of the student. Since I am in 3rd year, I am yet to do the projects.

Students are eligible for campus placements from 7th semester. The companies appearing to hire the students are little less, but they employ top performing students. Few of the companies that visited our college are: TCS, TechMahindra, UpGrad, Juspay, Capgemini, IBM, JohnsonControls, Mphasis, Univision. Total no of offers made is 195. Highest package given is 30LPA by Kiaan Agrow Tech pvt ltd. Average placement package is 4LPA. Percentage of students getting placed is 40%. My plans after getting the degree is getting a job

I pay 1,08,984rs every year as the college fee, since I am admitted through CET counselling(category 3AG). The fee is split as: 1.College fee-20,000rs 2.Tution fee-68,374rs 3.Lab fee-10,000rs 4.VTU fee-10,610rs Students admitted through management quota pay around 2,75,000 to 3,00,000rs SSP scholarship(govt) is the general scholarship that can be availed according to respective categories, which gives around 70% of the college fee. Hostel fee is also provided by the same. I have not come through any personal financial aid. Hence, The total fee I will be paying for the full course is 4,35,936rs

The overall experience of the college campus life is average. Vismay-The annual college fest, organized in June. Spardha-Annual sports meet, organised in May. Milan-The alumni meet, organised in August. General events like Republic Day, Independence Day, Kannada Rajyotsava. The books in library are easily accesible. Computer systems are provided for a better learning. Along with chalk board almost every classrooms are equipped with projectors and speakers for digital learning. Wide range of sports are supported. Tridha-Elevating cultural spirits is the student-run social group for different art and cultural activities. They play a very important role in auditing students for inter and intra college competetions. However there is a missing of an auditorium in our college, as a substitute to the auditorium, we have a seminar hall which is sufficintly large enough to accomodate 300 students at a time.

I was admitted through K-CET exam counselling, I chose this college over others because I had my cutoff ranking aligned with this college. I was not sure to be admitted to other colleges since my rank was not eligible to those. This college justifies the ranking for the peer you get. I did not get admissions from any other colleges because this college was in top of my preferences in college list. Hence I didnt get any rejection from any other college. Admission process in this college is very simple and hazzle free. After applying for colleges based on your preferences, you would be alloted to specific colleges based in your ranking. You can choose that respective college or re-apply for the next round(If you didnt like the allotted college). Once you are allotted with the college you can pay fee to the KEA(Karnataka Examination Authority) through DD(demand draft). They give admission order once after completion of fee payment. This admission order should be produced in the college and get admitted. The college will collect related documents like 10th,2nd PU marks card. This completes the admission process

There are around 16 faculties in my department. The course structure is well defined. Evaluation is done in a strict manner. Faculty-to-student ratio is 1:15. Most of the faculties maintain good relationships with students and are very good to be approached, except a couple of faculties. Mrs.Asha K, Mr.Dinesh Babu KB and Mrs.Champa CH are my favorite faculties because they are extremely well in making to understand concepts to students. Mr.Hemanth, Mrs.Asha KH, Mrs.Champa CH, Mrs.Rashmi are the best faculties. Mrs.Tejaswini D,Mrs.Sinchana KP are the faculties I didnt like, since they are very poor in delivering the knowledge. There are 3 Internal exams in a sem and 1 Sem end exam. The exams are moderate, only 2% of the students fail to clear the exam. The course curriculum is fairly relevant and covers the modern day requirements. But has a gap from industrial training

Gym is provided for the students, which is in the sports room. Cafeteria also provides refreshments and snacks. The lawn and park inside is the public area where students can spend good time. They will close at around 8pm. Since I am a day scholar I am unaware of the nightlife and hostel timings. However the campus timing is from 6am to 7pm. Famous hangout spots include bamboo tree, cricket ground, basketball court and block A. I am unaware of the locality to be safe to roam arounnd at night, it is safe in the daylight.
