A good place to start your career


Various companies recruiting from the campus and average package

See the placement scenario here is different from other colleges. The bitter truth is ,the ceramic department gets the best placement here. The average package of CT is 8.5 lakhs per annum whereas CSE and IT have an average package of 4.5-6 LPA. The placement cell officer is inactive in CSE - IT department so students take part in the placement cell. Mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Cognizant visit our college. Beside this, Geotech and the IBM also visited in recent years. So the placement is okay to good in level.

What are the internship opportunities in the campus?

Internship opportunities are rare in our college as the placement cell officer is inactive. So we have to find it in our own way. But in the past years, IBM, geotech and TCS took some students as their interns.

Academic structure and curriculum in the campus

Course curriculum is great here. All the important topics are in your syllabus which are also followed in top class institutions in our country. So I don't think that there is any area left which can be improved. Teachers are great and their teaching methods are very unique. They have their own style of teaching and the styles are effective also.

Yearly fees structure of the course

The fee structure is different for different streams. For CSE, it requires 12400 per year. For IT,it is 24800 per year and for CT, it is 6200 per year. So the fees are very less as compared to other govt institutions (except JU). As fees are very low, I think that no one will face any kind of problem regarding the fee structure. Beside this, students who get SVMCM scholarship, have to keep this in mind that if you get any backlog,your scholarship will be cancelled. Currently I'm a student and I didn't take any kind of job roles but I will definitely try in future.

Various fests, clubs and infrastructure of the college

The campus life is great. We have our annual cultural fest named "Jagriti" on March and our tech fest "Karmatek". Except these, different kind of fests are often organised. There are different clubs like tech club,dance club,music club, chess club and so on. Anyone can join these clubs and there are no limit in joining these clubs. We have large classrooms with modern equipments and ACs also in senior classes. So a fresher will experience a great atmosphere here.

On-campus living facilities

At first I want to clarify that I applied for hostel but got denied. From friends,I came to know that hostel can only afford 30 students in which most are seniors. It charges around 1K per month and gives meals for 2 times per day. It has high speed WiFi and a mini playground and other game equipments. Also the badminton court and football ground of the college is accessible as the hostel is inside of the college premises.

Admission process and eligibility criteria of the college

The admission process was very easy. I got a GMR of 2220 and I got selected in 1st round through the WBJEE. You need to score atleast 60% in your (10+2) examination and prepare for WBJEE. If you're in reserved category then you need a rank of 3.5k to get a seat in Computer Science and Engineering department. They take the exams in every 5-6 months and the difficulty level is easy.
