Yes, Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore is affiliated with VTU and is a non-autonomous college. All the courses and curriculums are designed according to the VTU syllabus. So, we follow their guidelines for exams and evaluations. It’s good in some ways because we have a structured format, but it also means we don't have the flexibility that comes with autonomy. This is something I realized when I joined the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering.

The crowd at Acharya Institute of Technology, especially in my course, Bachelor of Engineering in Information Science & Engineering, is quite diverse and vibrant. I’ve met people from different backgrounds, which makes the college life interesting. The Acharya Habba festival is a massive event here, and it's a great way to connect with everyone. There are many clubs and extracurricular activities, so you always have something to engage in. Overall, the crowd is friendly and supportive, making it easier to adapt to college life.

Hey there! Here's my take on Acharya Institute of Technology, just the way I'd want info about a college.

Academics
The college is pretty solid, especially with some top-notch lecturers in the ISE and CSE departments. Acharya students often make it to the VTU university topper lists. Plus, there are lots of classes focused on personality development and helping with placements.

Extra-curricular
When it comes to college fests, Acharya probably hosts one of the best in Bangalore. Students get plenty of chances to represent the college in different competitions, whether it's cricket, bodybuilding, or table tennis.

Infrastructure
Honestly, the campus is massive. Just do a quick Google search, and you'll see what I mean.

Fees
You can find the fee details on the COMEDK website, but keep in mind that the fees might be higher when you get the actual structure from the college.

Placements
My batch didn't have the best luck with placements because of the recession, but things were better for the batches before and after mine. In Bangalore, you shouldn't rely solely on college placements unless you're in one of the top 10 colleges. Exams like AMCAT and Elitmus can help you land jobs with good companies and packages.

Since you didn't specify a particular stream or focus, this is just a general overview. Hope you find it useful!

Acharya Institute's campus is quite impressive. During my engineering days, we checked out a few other private colleges, and while it might not match the likes of R.V. or M.S. Rammaiyah, it's definitely better than most private engineering colleges.

For first-year students, the daily schedule is packed with classes that last until around 4:30 or 5 PM. Most branches are pretty strict about attendance, especially in the first year, and for some, like Computer Science and Information Science, this continues up to the fourth year.

The library on campus is fantastic. It was newly opened when I was in my final year and stays open until 10 PM, giving you lots of time to dive into books and access the digital library, which offers free IEEE papers.

Sports are also part of the scene, with a decent range of indoor and outdoor games to enjoy. As for clubs, I didn't come across any specific arts or literature clubs like those in some prestigious colleges. Still, each branch holds its own cultural and technical events, and there's a big college festival called Acharya Habba. It's an event every student should experience at least once, with everyone on campus getting involved. The festival is packed with technical, gaming, arts, and cultural activities and usually happens in March.

For the Bachelor of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, the placement scenario isn’t great. Students can start looking for placements from the 7th semester, but the average package is quite low, around 2 LPA, with only about 20% to 30% of students getting placed. Many companies come for recruitment, but the competition and strict selection processes can make it challenging. So, it requires solid preparation and consistent performance throughout the course to secure better opportunities.

Acharya Institute of Technology is pretty cool for Computer Science and Engineering. The campus life is lively, and there are many events like Acharya Habba. The library is impressive, and the facilities are generally good.

I found the curriculum to be somewhat outdated, which is a downside. I paid about 2.47 lakhs for my course, and while the placement opportunities are there, the average package is around 4 LPA. It’s essential to work hard to get placed since many companies come for recruitment.

So, if you enjoy college life with a good mix of studies and activities, this place is worth considering.
