One of my seniors graduated from the IS branch of Acharya Institutes. He has seen a considerable number of students quit because they had complaints regarding the non-payment of their salaries. They looked for better opportunities in other colleges. He did not find anything better about the department apart from the HOD and a few other lecturers.

If you are looking for employment in companies that are service-based, you will most likely get placements. If you are looking for help and motivation from your peers or faculty, you will probably be disappointed. My senior and a lot of his peers got little to no help with the same, including research activities. My senior suggests that you should choose ISE at Acharya only when you do not much have many choices and/or if you have a low rank.

Before deciding, you should pay a visit to both the institutes. After analyzing what they have to offer, choose as per your convenience. 

Here are some factors you should have knowledge about AIT (Acharya Institute of Technology). One of my colleagues is a Communications and English language Professor here, and can possibly elaborate on this subject better. 

• Since he interacts with the students and professors of the Aeronautical department, he mentions that they have unlimited energy for student facilitation, guidance, and mentoring. 
• They take part in a large number of events, whenever organized. 
• If you visit the campus, you will be thrilled to see their enthusiasm regarding their ongoing projects. 
• Acharya Institute of Technology claims to have strong tie-ups with American, European, and other foreign universities, making it rather simpler to pursue higher studies overseas. 
• A large number of students also visit my colleague for in-house TOEFL coaching, before eventually applying for the student visa to the United States. 

In fewer words, it is a life-changing course, if pursued with proper guidance and efficiency. Hope this answers your query.

One of my friends got into the Acharya Institute of Technology for the Information Science Engineering course through the management quota. Interestingly, I was also looking up some decent colleges for Engineering in Karnataka for my sister, so I might be able to help you with your question.

I would further be mentioning certain situations or circumstances that you might face ahead. These can be:

• If, via KCET, you do manage to grab a college that does not match the rank that Acharya Institute of Technology belongs to, or is 2 or 3 ranks below of the institute, do not go for it as it would not be worth it.
• This is because there would not be any difference in the institutes that are after the ones mentioned in the top -10 to 15 ones. If you have potential, your performance would establish that.
• If you feel that ISE and CSE are genuinely your thing, go for it. If not, B.Sc. would be a better choice.
• If the total sum of 10 lakh rupees does not seem a big deal to your family or you. You can go for it.

Under circumstances similar or closer to these, you can think about pursuing it or securing otherwise. The choice is entirely yours.

Acharya Institute of Technology is an average college. The student population on campus is fantastic and robust. The students are the university's lifeline. It's them who will make Acharya livable. Without the crowd, it would have been a dull place. It conducts an international festival, which is once again organized by the students.

The table given below shows a brief overview of the institute:

Infrastructure:

• Acharya Institute is renowned for its green environment and infrastructure and this is what makes it fresh for students. 
• The rooms of the hostel are good but a bit more expensive. It would be advised to stay in PGs located outside the campus. 
• Infrastructure is good, be it sports, classrooms, and dedicated laboratories. But for a college at this level, the library is too small with a lesser collection of books and reading materials. 

Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and willing to assist you in your academic and personal problems.

The overall institute is not bad, but the exams are entirely based and studied for the semester assessments and internals. It is far less helpful if you intend to import anything for your profession. Exposure is even smaller and the faculty has more practical expertise than Theoretical Knowledge.

Hope the details discussed above would help the students to acknowledge the college.

BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT) is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. It is ranked 169 for BTech by NIRF 2020. It is set by BMS Educational Trust and is recognized by AICTE and NBA. They have 162 faculty members. 

Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT) is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi with a faculty strength of 300 members. The student population is 4,432 across all the departments. It is an autonomous institution recognized by UGC and AICTE.

Tabulated below is a brief overview of the both institutions:

Placements 

BMSIT - 

• 91 companies participated in the placement program.
• 430 offers were made wherein a total of 345 students were placed.
• The top recruiting companies include Reliance, Byju’s, Wipro, Capgemini, Dell, Fidelity, L&T, MindTree, Mu Sigma, etc.
• Students opting for Telecommunication Engineering can work as Electronic and Telecommunication Engineer, Accounts Executive, Telecom Engineer, Software Engineer, Telecom Security Engineer and many more.

AIT 

• 35 companies visited the campus wherein 194 students were placed.
• Some of the recruiters include Infosys, Pingala, HSBC, Byju’s, OG Healthcare, TCS, Wipro, HP, etc.
• CSE graduates can work as System Database Administrator, Computer Programmer, Engineering Support Specialist, Software Developer, Software Engineer, Lecturer or Professor, Computer Operator, Research Analyst, etc.

Facilities 

BMSIT 

• They have a student strength of more than 3206 students.
• They provide separate boys and girls hostels.
• Their food court can accomodate 200 students at a time.
• They provide transportation services and indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

AIT

• They have a student strength of 4423 students across all departments.
• Their campus area is 120 acres.
• They have 12 hostels, 5 for boys 7 for girls accommodating 1500 students all over.
• They have 1175 computers in total.
• They also provide sports, medical and library facilities.

CSE will be a better choice than Telecommunication Engineering because there is a constant demand for computer engineers in today’s rapidly growing corporate industry. CSE is the most in demand engineering course. Due to its scope and popularity it is better to choose CSE for moving your career ahead. But students interested in pursuing Telecommunication Engineering can always go for that.

Yes, there is a 100% chance, you'll get CSE at the Acharya Technology Institute with 18K in COMEDK.

However, there are some other universities that are worth more than Acharya IT that is also available.

• Kammavari Sangha Institute of Technology, Kanakapura Road - You will find a lot of coders here. You need to find them because they don't show up in college every time)
• BNM institute of technology Banashankari -. It's also acceptable for specific tight regulations.
• Dayanand Sagar at Kanakapura Road
• JSS Academy of Technical Education

These are the colleges in COMEDK that are below 20k and over 10k. 

If you are a Karnataka resident, you may get the right college for whatever divisions you choose to graduate. But you might find it a little tougher to get a college during the first round of counseling if you are from outside Karnataka.

The CSE department of Acharya Institute of Technology is quite good, considering the overall educational facilities, hostels, and environment. A friend of mine attended the institute. Here is his review regarding the facilities provided by the institute.

• Comparing with other departments, the CSE department is quite decent, with good laboratories, clean classrooms, and overall good infrastructure.
• The environment inside the campus of Acharya Institute of Technology is quite good for students to study peacefully. Candidates having doubts about the internal environment can clarify the same from internal faculties.
• There is an almost equal ratio of North Indians and South Indians inside the campus.
• The hostels provided by Acharya Institute of Technology are good, compared to hostels of other institutes. There are double and triple sharing rooms, which cost around Rs. 1.1 and Rs. 1.47 lakhs per annum respectively. Inside the rooms, the institute provides tables and chairs to study. There are medical facilities available inside the campus.
• For internet services, the institute provides LAN for laptops only inside the rooms. There is WIFI connectivity at the corridor, where most social networking and online shopping sites are blocked. But, these sites can be accessed through LAN after 5 PM.
• Talking about the food in hostels, there is a 3-time meal system- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Overall, the food is considered to be good, with both rice and chapatti in lunch and dinner. Sumber is a must.

Hope this gives you a brief insight to the institute.

Usually, finding a job in a core company right from the campus itself takes a lot of effort, time, and skill. Along with these, there should be some help from the college itself, like MOUs with specific industries and skill development programs for the industry readiness of the student.

If all these things go in your favor then landing in a core company isn’t too difficult as it seems. But in reality, there are not many colleges that provide such opportunities. And for a branch like mechatronics, it’s quite difficult to find a college good in placements in that branch.

Speaking of Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT) here, it’s no different. Campus placements do happen but not specific to the Mechatronics branch. The companies which usually visit campus are mass recruiters, IT service-based companies, and Marketing and sales companies. A student who has pursed Mechatronics with a lot of aspiration to work in Core Company wouldn’t like to get into an IT of marketing-related jobs.

Keeping these things in mind, it’s good to tell that, there are no Mechatronics related placements at AIT. But if one is determined enough, he/she can always look for an internship in Core Company and later convert it into a full-time opportunity. The standard of education at AIT will make sure that you have specific skills that will land you in a job sooner or later

For students in Aeronautical Engineering, there are very limited opportunities in India for graduates. There are several instances in which students, even after interning from top organizations and universities, fail to frame a proper career in Aeronautical Engineering. 

One of my friends graduated from Acharya Institute of Technology in Aeronautical Engineering, and he was considered to be the topper of the batch. He did a paid internship from Canada, which was organized by the college itself. He went to several renowned places like Bombardier’s engine manufacturing unit, etc during the internship period of 3 months. Even after such an opportunity, he failed to achieve a proper career in Aeronautics. He was a hard-working and skilled candidate but landed in a mechanical designing firm with a low-paying job.

Industry Trends:

• In India, the market in Aeronautics is not yet established properly. Though Aeronautical Engineering is an excellent stream, one must have to be 6-7 years ahead to grasp a proper opportunity.
• The only chances of employment for graduates in Aeronautical Engineering are the Indian Air Force, some moderately operational airline companies with a small number of maintenance staff, and finally, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
• Candidates who have completed master’s degrees from foreign institutes or IITs in Aeronautics have a relatively higher chance of getting jobs. Companies like Boeing India, UTC, Honeywell, Airbus India, Sirkosky, Tata Strategic Defense, etc recruit such candidates.

Course Curriculum:

The curriculum followed in Aeronautical Engineering at Acharya Institute of Technology is old and not proper according to industry needs.

Therefore, although the institute provides training and internships to students in Aeronautical Engineering, there is a lack of demand for such engineers in the market and so it is not a good option.
