Anonymous's Review On Government College Of Engineering And Technology - [GCET], Jammu

It was the only state government run engineering college. So it was pretty obvious that the cut-off and competition to get into GCET was more than any other private college in the state. Right from the reputed and experienced faculty to the soft fee structure of the institute, it was a go to college for me or anybody else in the state. Upon joining, i opted for the mechanical engineering course because that had been my dream course, if i was to go for engineering.

The course syllabus is set by the Jammu university from time to time. It was quite updated with almost every college in jammu following the same syllabi. Regarding industrial exposure, a lot of one day industrial visits and sometimes tours were arranged by the college free of cost. Almost each and every tour or visit or any other activity in GCET was free of cost and funded by the government. The faculties were quite experienced and polite. Siddhant jandial sir from mechanical engineering department was my favourite though.

I recently got an onine internship with Springfield Olympids Private Limited, through Internshala. The stipend they are offering is 3000 during the course of 7 days. The procedure is quite simple. You go to the internshala website and apply for the internships of your choice. Wait for the response from the companies. If you get selected or rejected, they will let you know in both cases.

The one area that the college is lagging, is the placements and job oppurtunities. We dont get much placement oppurtunities here. Though some companies do visit the college for recruitment drives but the packages they offer are just nothing. TCS, Wipro, Lido learning etc are some recruiters.

Our college holds different events and extracurricular activities both cultural and technical. These include: The Republic day event, the Holi festival, the Independence day event, Gandhi jayanti event wherein different debates, speeches and poster making competitions are held,the engineers day, the childrens day the Diwali fest. Plus there is one technical cum cultural fest that is held every year in the college,the NCEEITET(National Conference & Exhibition on Emerging & Innovative Trends in Engineering Technology) jointly organised by GCET, Jammu and Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Kharagpur. All the events and fests see a major participation from everybody and sometimes other coleges too. Around 400-500 students and faculties are present on an average in the events.

Although i didnt avail any of the scholarships but my some of my friends did. The one good scholarship i would say is the minority scholarship awarded to the muslim students and one Schedule tribe scholarship provided to Pahadi speaking students.

The college infrastructure was quite good and many up to date facilities like wifi and higly equipped labs were provided. The whole campus was wifi enabled. There was a dedicated building for the library in the college campus. It was quite up to date and looked mesmerizing to the eyes, both from outside and inside. The collection of books available was also satisfying covering all the course related books for all semesters.

The hostel rooms are well equipped with modern day facilities. Though there is a problem with sharing rooms,but single rooms, you cant complain much. 3 students share a sharing room. The average rentals are around 5000-8000 per semester including the hostel fee and mess charges. The hostel facility is easy to avail for anybody, but preference is given to outsider students i.e who are not from the same city as college.
