What is your review of BMS Institute of Technology?

I've spent two years at this college and was relieved to leave. Let me share what's not so great about it.

Infrastructure: The buildings here are some of the poorest among Bangalore's colleges. There's no proper ground for sports or relaxation, just a piece of disputed land doing nothing. Parking is a hassle since there's no designated area, and since it's in a residential zone, parking is tricky. If you park near the campus, the college might call the police to tow your vehicle. They have a court that's supposed to be for basketball, volleyball, and tennis all at once, which is odd. Plus, the basketball court is just dirt, not something I've seen elsewhere.

Teaching: A few teachers are knowledgeable, but you often see them handling multiple subjects across semesters. I had one who taught different subjects from the third to the sixth semester. Students must attend classes to keep an 85% attendance, but practical learning is lacking. Only a handful of teachers truly understand what they're teaching. The focus is on memorization rather than comprehension. The teachers are afraid of the director, who is a bit like the strict character played by Boman Irani in the movie 3 Idiots.

Crowd: The majority of students are locals, making it tough for North Indians because of the language barrier. Some students don't speak any Hindi. You'll encounter many students who are solely focused on academics, similar to the character Silencer from 3 Idiots. I knew someone who didn't even know who Steve Jobs was, which was surprising.

Facilities: The canteen isn't great, offering limited and mostly South Indian food. You're not allowed to leave during breaks, forcing everyone to eat there. I managed to get through two years somehow. The lab equipment often doesn't work properly.

Hostel: The boys' hostel is about 5 km from campus, and the food quality worsens each year. There's nowhere decent to eat nearby, and you have to be back by 8 pm, or you'll face the warden, who's quite strict. I left the hostel after a year because of this.

Extracurricular activities: These are pretty lacking. I played basketball in my first year, but the soil court that doubles for other sports isn't ideal. After having to chase down professors to mark my attendance post-event, I decided not to participate again. The college fest, TATVA, isn't impressive. In 2018, they brought in Shirley Setia, but when ticket sales were low, the organizers resorted to pleading with people to buy tickets. The college administration offers little support for events.

Warning: If you're considering this college, I’d advise against it. Look for other options in Bangalore, as they're likely better. Many students here prefer rote learning. North Indians should be cautious as they might face bias from some teachers. This college churns out engineers with little practical knowledge.

I would say BMSIT for Computer Science and Engineering has its pros and cons. On one hand, the curriculum covers vital topics, and the faculty is generally supportive. The placement percentage is high, with many students getting good offers from companies like Amazon and Accenture. However, I feel that the exams can be a bit tough at times, especially with internal assessments being frequent.

The fees for my course are around 1 lakh per annum through KCET, which is manageable. Overall, it's a decent college, but the workload can be stressful at times.

I finished my studies at BMS Institute of Technology back in 2011, majoring in Computer Science. Initially, I grumbled a lot about the facilities, teachers, placements, and labs. It took me around two years to understand that the issue wasn't really the college but my entrance exam rank. If I had ranked in the top 1000, I might have ended up at PESIT or RVCE, where all the facilities and placements are top-notch. But given my rank, this college accepted me, and honestly, I could have been in a worse situation or pursuing a different degree altogether.

Once I came to this realization, I stopped complaining about my college and never looked back. This is the place where I earned my B.E. degree and eventually landed a job as a Developer, even though it wasn't through campus placements. What I learned is that your college doesn't define your success; if you have talent and determination, you can succeed in any interview or life challenge.

I'm thankful to Sambhram for the wonderful memories and lifelong friends I made there. I'll always cherish my time and proudly call myself a Sambhramite.

I chose to study Computer Science and Engineering at BMSIT because of its decent placement statistics. The curriculum is well-structured and covers essential subjects like DSA and DBMS. The exams are manageable if you attend classes regularly, and I found the faculty to be approachable and supportive.

The placements start from the 6th semester, and companies like Amazon and Infosys frequently visit. The highest package last year was around 30 LPA, which is impressive. My fee structure is about 1 lakh per year through KCET, which is quite affordable compared to other colleges. Overall, I feel this college is a good choice for anyone looking for a solid education and good placement opportunities.

I graduated in Computer Science from BMS Institute of Technology in 2017. I'm staying anonymous because I still haven't received my degree. Let's start with the non-academic aspects, which are crucial in any engineering college.

WiFi is slow. The college offers WiFi, but it's only available in the library, and students can't use the library during class hours. The infrastructure is quite limited. There's only one playground, and you're not allowed to play games there. The cafeteria situation is disappointing, as there's just a small snack shop instead of a proper cafeteria.

Now, let's talk about academics. The labs exist, but they're mainly for copying codes that teachers have taken from other websites, pretending it's part of the learning process. As for teachers, they don't teach the core concepts of the subjects. They just read from a sheet, and students have to jot down notes that are already in the textbooks. Teachers focus on keeping their records intact to ensure no student falls behind.

The management is more concerned with checking if students have their ID cards and are following the dress code. Regarding placements, the college offers a free Amcat test, and most companies that come for recruitment do so through Amcat, though they rarely offer core jobs.

Like many private colleges, this institute seems to prioritize business over education. So, if you're thinking about joining this college, I would advise against it. If you want to hear more about my personal experience or have any questions about the college, feel free to ask.
