Fee Structure And Facilities

It is a very costly institute in india. But indian government gives very high scholarships. For general students whose family income more than 6 lacs per annum have to pay 1lacs for tuition fees per sem. 3k -4k mess + hostel rent per month. Other personal and stationary things cost around 5k per sem. For other categories, student Tuition fees 1/3 of 1lacs. If family income < 1lcs per annum Tuition fees free If CGPA> 6.5 TUITION fees return. Before admission there are some advance Payment which later counted in fees. So fees structure is very feasible. There is 100% transparency in fees

Placement Wing

98%Students are placed every year. Google,Samsung,Goldman Sachs, Bajaj, flipkart and many other Yes institutes take steps to prepare for placements but not many steps. In placement preparation students themselve have to take steps.

Hostel Facilities

Yes, Hostels rooms are in very good conditions. New hostels are very nice compare to hostels which constructed at time of institute establishment. Full campus has free unlimited high speed wifi access. Each bed has a LAN CABLE port for the internet. 24x7 water and electricity facility. Every hostel has its own mess and e-shops. Sports grounds are also in every hostel and for institute level also. Beautiful gardens are there because hostel area is very large. Lift facility are there in new hostel which goes to 6 floor. 1 table,1 chair is offered to students for study. 1 almirah for each student. For washing clothes there is a separate washing room with washing machines or we can give to dhobi. There is HEC (HALL EXECUTIVE committee) formed by students voting approved by institute official to manage hall. Cleaning facility is very nice. Average rental for a bed and electricity is included in mess bill which emailed to each student by HEC.

Alumni

Alumni network is known as very good and strong for my institute than other institutions in india. There is some entertaining culture among students which attach juniors and seniors and this attachment is so strong that it never breaks even outside campus. Institute also organises some talks with older batches. Seniors are very helpful. This will be understood only when we enter campus. Every 6 new students assigned a senior student guide for complete graduation.

Faculty

There is a faculty building Where every faculty has an office. We can call them or email to make an appointment or we can directly meet in their office in an emergency. Faculty is very highly qualified. Some faculty are very nice. There are very old faculty as well young faculties. They are very specific in their field. Every faculty has a homepage on the institute website where students can find their interested field regarding faculty and contact them. Faculties are very helpful if we contact them. Nearly 30 hours of lectures + laboratory part. Lectures are research and industry based both but lab work is industry based.

Campus Life

Campus is very large 1100 acres and open for all. Outer residential can enter by making entry at main gate giving some reason. Students are allowed to keep bicycle to travel in campus. There are 13 hostel with very large areas With sports ground inside them. Every hostel has capacity of 500+ students Gender ratio is very low. In my departement it 2/50 girls/boys. It is nearly same in every department. Indian government recently reserved 20% seats for girls since 2019 A lot of workshops are organised by student gymkhana (student body). Science and technology council always remains active throughout the year. They organise workshop for learning and creating prototypes of many things. Sports club organises sports competitions In summers.they even organise competition for indoor games. Every saturday sunday there are many workshops, debates on current issues are organised and students take part very enthusiastically. There is very less politics inside campus. At the time of selection of student body not a single case come regarding fighting. No one forces nobody to his vote for specific students. Elections are highly transparent. There is a women's cell for taking care of sexual cases.but not a single case has come for this. Girls' and boys interactions are very high. There is unmukt society for Making people aware for 3rd gender and increase Respect for them.

Course Curriculum Overview

the course curriculum is research based but not fully research based. But also taken care of industrial basis. Course material is 100% nice and well arranged but it is very high quantity. Yes this also help a lot in placements. Recently our mechanical department organised our nearby industries. But this type of ture not organised in fixed period of time. There are 2-3 laboratory experiments every week. Quizzes for some courses organised every week. which makes students study regularly.

Overall good college life with good placement
