Rajesh's Review On Kongu Engineering College - [KEC], Erode

Initially I felt very comfortless for joining such a big institution. At the end of my engineering studies I have learnt the world only because of Kongu Engineering College and the institution staffs.

I have written the TANCET exam and I scored 291 out of 300.I have chosen my subject (ECE) because i know it'll lead to a career. It is a very mentally and physically challenging course, and i feel it will help me with my practical and social skills. Also it gives me the opportunity for learning the latest technologies in electrical industries. And also it is one of the best college for placement as well curriculum. I heard about their placement related training sessions before I am joining to the college itself.

Actually from the second year on-wards they are mainly focusing with practical oriented classes. For Electrical machines they explained maximum of concepts with the real life examples only with the help of lab equipment. We had around 23 professors for ECE stream in that 11 are PhD holders in Machines, Circuit designs, etc. So they brought lab equipment to class rooms and shown the live examples.

Our 7th semester itself we attended around 4 companies like Infosys, CTS, TCS, HCL respectively and all with the minimum package of 3.36 lakhs per year. I have placed in CTS among the 120 students and all we joined to the organization in the same year.

Please find the below list of placed students in the different companies, CTS - 120 - 3.36 lakhs/year, Infosys - 60 - 3.05 lakhs/year, TCS - 120 - 3.36 lakhs/year, HCL - 90 - 3.36 lakhs/year, L&T - 60 - 3 lakhs/year, Accenture - 40 - 3 lakhs/year.

Semester fee we paid around 32,500 and hostel fee depends on hostel you choose for Max is single room for 24,000 per year and mess fee was around 2,500 per month. If it's a sharing room means only 12,000 per year. And also we have other options for stay, we can stay in individual houses near by college and it cost only 2000 per month for five students.

College offered me several scholarships, fee waiver schemes, teaching and research assistance to meritorious and deserving students. Large number of students tremendously benefited from such schemes. In 2007 - 2010 nearly 1173 students benefited from various schemes with a total of Rs. 23 lakhs distributed as scholarship.

I had a very good relationship with my senior students which helped me a lot for getting the right job at the right time. While at the time of attending interviews and all they did a very big help me for me to learn the shortcuts to solve the aptitudes. And they guided me to attend interviews like a good brother.
