How is life at Walchand College of Engineering?

It was wonderful! Those years were truly some of the best in my life! My adventure began on 30 August 2014 when I moved from Pune to Sangli, a place not many know about. At first, adjusting seemed tough, but as someone from a small town, it felt like home. Sangli is a laid-back town in Southern Maharashtra, and its slow pace is something you'll easily fall in love with.

The college had already started by the time I joined. My first day was a mix of excitement and nerves, but I made a few friends quickly. As days went by, those friendships grew stronger.

Seniors
Something that really stood out for me was how cool and caring the seniors were. They made us feel welcome and supported, which was a pleasant surprise considering the scary stories of ragging at other colleges. I even made some lifelong friends among them, which is pretty special.

Clubs
I was involved with Rotaract and ACSES, where I got to showcase my skills and knowledge.

Rotaract
Beyond academics, this club was a great place to keep learning, thanks to the amazing support from seniors. The interactions with people from different branches were a fantastic way to learn new things.

ACSES
As the Secretary of ACSES, I gained valuable experience that changed my life. Organizing events, securing sponsorships, and managing details from seating arrangements to tech setup gave me confidence that no MBA could offer. It was a platform to bring out hidden talents in my class. I'm proud to be part of ACSES!

Department
The Computer Science and Engineering department had some of the best teachers, like Bhandari Mam, Kulkarni sir, Chavan sir, and Momin sir. They were experts, and learning from them was an incredible experience.

MiniCCF
This was the hangout spot for CSE students. We spent half our time here, chatting with seniors about important topics like crushes and more. Coding and gaming nights were electrifying, and I miss the late-night poha sessions. Being an admin in my third year was a whole new experience.

Lipton
A highlight of WCE life was starting each day with samosas and coffee at Lipton. The vibrant atmosphere and chance encounters made this place special.

Ground
The college ground was stunning, especially during the rainy season. Walking with friends and joking around created lovely memories. Sipping coffee while enjoying the view from the benches was a unique experience.

Hostels
I only stayed in the hostels for a year, but the memories are countless. Late-night Maggi sessions, sharing home-cooked food, birthday pranks, and playing football in the rain were some of the wildest things we did!

Friends
I made some incredible, lifelong friends here. Despite our different backgrounds, our bond remains unbreakable. These friends made my time at WCE unforgettable, sharing both joy and sorrow with me. I'm so grateful for them!

Trips
Though infrequent, we enjoyed trips to Kolhapur, Panhala, Raigad, Jyotiba, and Kas Pathar. The breathtaking beauty of the Sahyadris was mesmerizing! The Ganesh festival in Kolhapur was a blast, and we truly experienced the Kolhapuri hospitality and warmth.

Juniors
I was lucky to have amazing juniors who felt like younger siblings. We tried to carry on the strong senior-junior bond we experienced. Though their constant party requests were a bit annoying, it was all in good fun, just like we did to our seniors!

Placement
This was crucial. As a Placement Coordinator, I gained so much exposure by meeting industry professionals and learning about new technologies and industry demands. Although I got placed a bit late, the support from my batchmates and the celebrations after getting placed are cherished memories.

Library
The library was probably the least visited place during my four years, mostly for meetings and planning sessions.

Mess
Let's keep this positive and skip over the less pleasant parts.

Summing up
The journey concluded on...

1. When it comes to placements, Walchand College of Engineering is top-notch. You can pretty much count on securing a job, especially if you're in CSE, IT, or Mechanical, and have decent communication skills. The starting salary is around 3.5 l.p.a.

2. Campus life is great, and living in the hostel is a lot of fun (though I do wish the mess food tasted better). The campus is beautiful and surrounded by nature, which really helps you feel refreshed. The annual social gathering is a highlight that everyone looks forward to. The college has well-equipped departmental labs and a library. Plus, you can access the college WiFi anytime, anywhere on campus.

3. As for academics, well, it's an engineering college, so you have to rely a lot on self-study. Some senior faculty members are very skilled, but I’m not too sure about the younger staff. It’s just how things are, unfortunately.

I’m currently studying Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electronics Engineering) at Walchand College of Engineering, and my experience has been quite positive. The faculty here is very knowledgeable, and the curriculum is comprehensive, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. The college encourages us to participate in various clubs and technical events, which really enhances our learning experience.

However, the mess food can be disappointing at times, and the fees are relatively high at about 85,565. Despite these challenges, I feel that the overall environment and support from seniors and faculty make it a great place to pursue engineering.

Even if it seems off-topic, life at Walchand is fantastic. This isn't because of the campus or job placements, but because of the people you meet here.

There's this guy I met in my first year, and I've been smitten ever since. He's a mechanical engineering student from a small town. He's not the type to get along with teachers or attend many lectures.

He's got this charm about him. A quiet guy who prefers action over words, but everyone likes him. He's caring, protective, and dependable. Wherever he goes, people remember him. He follows his heart and goes after what he wants, even if he's unsure.

He has many interests. There's a rumor he's a talented writer. He's balanced and level-headed. He's a great listener and takes initiative. When things go wrong, he works on fixing them instead of giving up. He says what he means and means what he says. He's adaptable and can handle any situation.

While he's a bit of a rebel, he's not the wild party type. He's calm, independent, and self-contained. He's also very honest, even brutally so. He's genuine about his feelings with no mind games. Happy, positive, and hardworking, he's someone any woman would admire. He's professional at work, straightforward in society, and fun with friends—a mix that's hard to beat.

We used to talk a lot when we were in the same club. We worked together for two years there, but now we rarely chat because he's busy pursuing his big dreams. Still, seeing him even briefly brightens my day. That's what makes life at Walchand special for me.

At Walchand College of Engineering, life is pretty good for those in the Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) course. The curriculum is designed well and includes practical aspects that prepare us for real-world applications. We have exams on time, and there’s a good balance between theory and practical work.

The faculty is generally supportive, although some teachers can be a bit strict. The hostel facilities are decent, but the food is a mixed bag. The campus life is active with various festivals and a strong club culture which makes it fun. I appreciate the focus on both academics and extracurricular activities.
