My College Experience

Likes

College Environment is good with amazing nature
Campus life is better with all the necessary requirements
Lectures are amazing with well-educated staff

Dislikes

Power cut at times makes students get delayed for the classes
Water shortage at times also delays the students
Food provided in the mess is vegetarian only

Admission:

I chose this college because I am a resident of this city Salem and wanted to be a day-scholar. This college is also NAAC accredited with A+ grade and also stands as the higest graded government engineering colleges in the whole state of Tamil Nadu. The transport facility for reaching this college is also easy for me as there is availability of college bus which goes around the city to pick up the students i.e. the dayscholars all around the city. I didn't get any rejection from any other college because I got this college in my first round of counselling itself and so did not go for any other options and was not rejected by any. There is no entrance exam to get into the college. It is purely merit based and depends on the Anna University Counseling process.

Clubs that engage people in every evening of Monday to Thursday which socially with other department students
Newly renovated department with smart class projectors for better visual learning.

Dislikes

Being a girl, restrictions to go out of hostel after 6 .
The way to approach the higher authority is little complicated with rules and formalities
The permission to go home for girls is restricted without the arrival of parents even in emergency times .

Admission:

In tamilnadu, government school may have some sort of issues in the parents' point of view. But their point of view to the government colleges is really high when compared to private colleges. Most of the private colleges feels like studying school spoon feed methods.. I choose this course in my college to become an engineer in a economical way with the reputation of my institute. BE course requires 12 th or diploma cut off while the ME course requires tancet exam score .
