How is ABES EC as an engineering college and what are its downfalls??

Don't even consider ABES EC if you're serious about building a career.

Here's why:

• I'm a final-year EEE student, and in my experience, only about 5% of the teachers here are truly worthy of respect.
• If you're eager to learn new tech skills, this isn't the place for you. Teaching here is all about dictating book content. By the end of the semester, you'll hear, "Just study my notes; they're enough for the exams."
• Nobody is concerned about your personal issues. Even if you're battling a serious illness, you still need to maintain 75% attendance, or you'll face internal setbacks.
• I sometimes wish I had chosen a different college, even one with a lower ranking, because at least there I'd manage around 75% aggregate thanks to better internal marking. Here at ABES, getting 75% in internal marks is a big deal.
• Decisions aren't based on rules but rather on the ego of your department head.
• They will make you miserable if you don't conform to what they want.
• Your skills and talents don't matter here. Attendance and compliance are all that count.
• The management is very political. Even if you have proof and are in the right, nobody, not even the director, will back you up if someone opposes you.
• In my first year, we had classes on Sundays too. Internal exams were held from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm after a full day of classes from 8:30 am to 4:20 pm. It's mentally exhausting.
• Two entire notice boards are filled with lists of fines for so-called indiscipline, and about 70% of these aren't even real issues. It's obvious the college is focused on making money.

If you're looking for positives, the only decent things are the ground (where you can't play), the auditorium, and the cafeterias. That's about it for ABES.

To sum it up, if you want to be an "Engineer," forget ABES. But if you're just looking to get a "B.Tech," then you're welcome here. My advice is to not even think about coming here.

Hey, since I'm a student at ABES, I can share a bit about what it's like here. I've just finished my first year, so I'm still getting the hang of things, but I'll try to clear up any questions you have.

First off, the college is pretty strict. It's not the kind of place where you see a lot of rule-breaking. Freshmen have their own building, the Kalpana Chawla Block, and our teachers are quite tough in the first year. There's not much chance to mingle with seniors, likely because the college isn't big on events or fests. As I mentioned, the rules are strict, so you have to follow them.

On the bright side, this strictness has its perks. We topped the results in 2015, even beating colleges like AKG and JSS, thanks to our hard work. The annual fest, Genero, is memorable, especially the night concert with all those colorful lights.

Overall, the college is great when it comes to teachers, learning, and results. But when it comes to having a lively campus life and interactions, there's still a long way to go. I just hope the college management gives us more chances to showcase our talents, as there's more to college life than just studying.

If you're thinking of joining, come with a positive mindset. Like any college, there'll be things that might test your patience. The college is keen on maintaining its top spot with new strategies and challenges. Good luck!

Thanks for asking!

I'll focus mainly on the CSE department since that's where my experience lies, so keep in mind this might not apply to other departments.

Let's start with the good stuff:

• The campus is nice and green, with air-conditioned buildings.
• The faculty is pretty helpful.
• Placements are decent, with the highest package offered at 14 LPA (2013-14), but no one actually got it.
• There's a lot going on all year round, like seminars, competitions, and fests.
• Ragging isn't an issue here.
• The college ranks among the top 3 private engineering institutions, and recently, it might even be number one based on first-year results.
• At the entrance, there's a Saraswati Temple, which I think is a nice touch.
• The whole campus is mostly under surveillance, which is good for both students and management.
• Hostels throw their own events during festivals like Diwali.
• The labs are well-equipped, and there's 24/7 WiFi.
• The library issues books every semester, though you do pay for them.
• There are several cafes on campus like Sir John Bakery Cafe, D's Cafe, Hangouts, and Nescafe.
• If you want to rent a flat and experience real engineering life, Crossing Republic is nearby.
• The alumni network is strong.
• There are various Centers of Excellence already set up.
• They give prizes for high scores and other achievements.

Now, for the less great stuff:

• There are two mandatory sessionals besides the pre-university exams.
• The student crowd is from all over U.P., so it might not be like Amity or DU (and sometimes people might look at you suspiciously).
• I'm not sure if there's a lover's point here, which every engineering college seems to have.
• Hostel facilities are okay, but I find them pricey (though I'm a day scholar).
• Hostellers often get priority over day scholars, not that day scholars really care.
• Your GP marks can be cut for minor offenses.
• The college can be a bit childish, like if you don't have 75% attendance, they won't let you represent the college at events.
• They also send attendance updates to you and your parents, and the tone can be harsh, like you've done something illegal.
• The basketball court is in the boys' hostel area, and day scholars need permission to use it, which is hard to get.
• You're supposed to wear I-cards and keep your sleeves down in summer, but no one really follows that.
• There are unnecessary warnings for not having an I-card or not following the dress code during exams.

Some things could be seen as either good or bad:

• The dress code helps everyone feel equal since students come from various backgrounds.
• Panditji's Khokha, just outside the campus, is a favorite among students, and you'll know why if you've been there.
• The college has an initiative called CARE for innovations, but not much seems to happen (though the college would disagree with me).
• They take the university rules seriously and won't let you sit for exams without 75% attendance.
• Girls have a strict hostel in-time of 6:30 PM with no flexibility, except during events.

If any college official reads this, please don't cut my GP marks—I really work hard for them! But even if you do, it won't bother me much. This is a free platform, and I'm just exercising my freedom of speech. Feel free to add more points or comment below.
