Remarks

It's a place where you can have a beautiful experience and learning. You'll learn what life is, what politics is, what power is, what greed is and a hell lotta things. You'll not only gain knowledge but you will evolve as a person

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is exceptional and will introduce various branches of media. But the practical learning feels a bit outdated. The tools for learning should be updated. Exams are decent and will be testing both knowledge and creativity.

Placement Experience

3.5

Being a unique course, this department gets decent placements and jobs. Internships provided by college will be not that great and won't offer decent job experience. But depending on the nature of the internship, the stipend will be between 3k-15k

College Events

Loads of events! Inter college culturals, intra college culturals, department symposia, celebration of festivals, sports days, special day observations, national and international conferences, research paper publishing, workshops and much more!

Fee Structure And Facilities

Completely feasible. Around 20000 per semester and the exam fee per semester is 8000. So 10 semesters will only cost 280000. Post graduate degree for just 2.8L is a bargain. Also considering the fact that it comes from Anna University - the biggest in Tamil Nadu is another feather on the cap

Fees and Financial Aid

There are numerous scholarships and grants facilities. All the scholarships from the government like the caste based scholarships, special scholarships are applicable. There is a scholarship for sportsmen who excel when playing for the institution. There are some other merit scholarships. Also there's a grant for people who want to publish papers in bigger conferences and projects in different places.

Campus Life

There's a club for every extracurricular activity. There's a photography club, dance club, feminist club, literature club, arts club, science club and much more. But there will be a huge partiality and discrimination. Students from engineering department think they know it all and corrupt the clubs.

Hostel Facilities

I was a day scholar. Hostel have a decent infrastructure. But there will be an intermittent water problem. Hostel premises will be clean and neat. They have a paid laundry service inside and a supermarket too.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is totally active with people from the first batch, Till the last batch participating with regular get togethers. They also provide employment opportunities with some of them being entrepreneurs.

Admission

Post completing of 12th standard, applied with a form. The average of marks scored in the subjects except the languages will be the score based in which the ranking was alloted. As per the Ranking, a counselling date was assigned and during the counselling day, I got my seat confirmed.

Faculty

College need to recruit more better faculty with some subject matter expertise on the subject they handle. Lab assistants should be recruited. More guest lectures should be arranged with people who top the media field currently.

Nit Trichy B.Sc. B.ed. student review

Likes

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.

The students can join through counciling process. The counciling process will held separately for regular and lateral entry students. The college fees will be reduced uf the student is a first graduate or belongs to sc/st community.

Enriching learning experience at CEG

The eligibility condition is a minimum cut-off in physics, chemistry, and mathematics in class 12 board exams. The candidate should have scored a minimum of 50 percent in those subjects if he belongs to the general category. The minimum percentage is 40 percent for the reserved categories. The cut-off marks for the previous years can be seen from the following link: cutoff.tneaonline.org. The application form can be found online on the official TNEA(Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission) website (tneaonline.org/home). The servers of the admission website lag when there is more than usual internet traffic. That infrastructure can be improved and worked upon. This would ensure a smoother admission process for the applicants. The college code for the College of Engineering Guindy is 0001.
