Days I'm fond off

Oxford college of engineering was good in all prospects except sports and placements. I feel joining with government seat is best , giving such a huge amount and with no job is very disappointing.

CET entrance exam and my PUC results. Got a govt seat in mechanical engineering, was interested in practical machinery. Interview was good, had few odd questions.

Course should have been revised, exams were unpredictable out of curriculum sometimes. Project work was left on our shoulders with out any guidance from lecturers. Practicals were delayed and was being done at the end of semester.

It was a new establishment, so had some call center company's conducting interviews. Being mechanical student we could never get into that stream. We planned for further studies, I took marine engineering.

Job opportunity was good when I joined. now due to newly upcoming colleges and increase in capacity intake of colleges, jobs have become little scarce and companies are taking advantage.

Hardly we celebrated any events as management was not ready to spend anything . We had once celebrated annual meet and that went very pale. May be now it has improved over a period.

Oxford college of engineering was not asking for any extra perks from government seat holders. They barely charged about 2500 rupees extra and govt fees of about 9000 rupees. Only during exams I have paid to VTU. For other students they use to have a different fee structure going up to 5lakhs.

My fees was just 11500 rupees, I took loan from Andhra bank for 3 years and most of all banks give education loan based on your performance in your pre-university exams. Which I had good results, so got a education loan without any hassle.

College was newly opened , labs were being set up after we joined. By the time we were about the finish our college days it had a very good labs . mechanical branch had no girls at all, computer and info science was almost 40% girls.

Hostel was brand new and hope it very was nice and spacious. My friends use to mention that canteen food was Norma and may be it is improved now. They use to charge about 5000 rupees for both stay and food. 2 students were allowed to share the room.

Yeah college has the allumi network , for me because of the nature of my job unfortunately I could not be a part of it. Yeah , due to social network we friends to chat and sometimes meet. We had no seniors , all were our juniors.

Exams were conducted strictly as per VTU guidelines and there was no malpractice. Poor students were not counselled for exams, I thought they should be explained about their preparation for exams and future prospect.

Some were normal and few were below normal, just done with BE. Sometimes we felt lecturer was just one of us. They should at least complete their Ms or Mtech to hold courses for Be students.
