Manik Vaish's Review On Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College - [AKGEC], Ghaziabad

UPSEE, I chose the college over other depending on the colseness to my hometown and also the college had a very good reputation for the placements.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The course was directed towards learning on electrical machines and transformers. But, as I switched to IT in my career the knowlegde was never utilized by me.

No stipend was offered during internship and was mostly arranged by the students.The internships were mostly in government organization as the private ones were not accepetd. Students were required to give a presentation on their internships.

Almost 100% placement in 2011. Infosys, Syntel and Wipro were the mass recruiters. Some other companies were Samsung, Dell, Alcatel, Tech Mahindra, Lohia Motors, Semag, HCL, Accenture.

Tech Trishna the tech fest was an inter college event which had events from all branches.Vibrations Cultural event, this was an intra college event basically between branches. Saksham sports event, also an intra college event between years and branches.

Feasible fee structure. Was the minimal in all reputed private colleges. I paid around 80k for first year and 1 lakh for the other three respectively. Now the fees is around 1.5 lakhs per year including the hostel and mess.

No. Was provided by UP government at that time. Scholarship was based on parents income and caste and quotes and was never entertained by the college, the students themsleves applied for it.The toppers were awarded with money for books and other things.

Campus life was fun. With most disciplined campuses in UP, the college was ranked #1 for a period of 5 years. The labs and workshops were well equippd.No biases on religion or caste ever seen in my 4 years.

Somewhat weak network, but have recently started an online program to connect all the alums. Hopefully the alums are connecting and in another 2-3 years the network will be helpful for current students for placements and other guidance.

33% internal and 67% external.The internal was divided into 2 sessionals and pre-finals whereas external was a finals.

Most faculty were retired military officers in administration.The teaching faculty was either retired government officers or PhD teachers.Electrical faculty was a bit different with mostly full-time teachers, who left their specific jobs for teaching. The MVP was Mr. M P Dave respected for is work and guidance among both B.Tech and M. Tech students and faculty.
