Remarks
This was the best option for me out of all the colleges which I was eligible for at the time. We had few more engineering colleges, but only MIET was viable for its approach for all round development of a student that I had come to know. For admission, first students need to crack Jkcet exam based on which colleges are allocated during counselling. Post selecting the college, you need to reach the MIET office and then pay the admission fee for first semester. MIET is the best option if you want to complete engineering from Jammu considering they have better partnerships with multiple corporate organisation. MIET has also signed MoU with a US based University for scholarship in post graduate courses for which few of the students have gone. Then we have free courses, BOOT camp, MIET Fest which is well known.
Course Curriculum Overview
I wanted to be an Engineer. Having already opted C++ in my 12th standard, I was well versed with coding basis. We were taught by knowledgeable staff and administration was easy to reach out to. Teachers and HoDs were friendly in my department , and we used to have casual conversations about our future there and then. Any doubts were cleared if we asked and no matter how many times we asked. Projector were used to teach along with labs for us to have visual understanding along with theoretical knowledge. Exams used to happen twice before finals of the semester, usually after 1.5 month interval. If students went through the syllabus, it could be easy, however, basics must be clear. Although, teachers emphasized the importance of basics and the exam used to had a similar pattern of finals so that students were prepared before attempting final semester exams preemptively.
Placement Experience
Campus placement is limited in MIET as far as i am concerned, as this was the situation during my time. Hardly 2-3 companies visited and not many were placed. We had to go to other colleges at our expense to be able to sit for placement. College authorities sometimes, however, do try and help in grooming and letting the students know if any placement opportunities are available near by for the students to go. Infineon visited the campus claiming to offer 10 LPA, but the students after completing the training were offered only up to 4LPA. Other companies like Amazon came for Non-technical jobs as well offering upto 3 LPA so that can be considered lower side. Now a days i hear that students are offered up to 8-10 LPA in edu-tech companies. Upto 20% students used to get placement through MIRT during my time but the numbers seem to have risen. I am out of college and is working in an MNC in NCR region.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fee Structure is quite simple. First sem: 50k Second sem: 6-10k This pattern is followed consecutively throughout the 4 year session. Then we have miscellaneous charges which may vary, roughly 10k during college time. If you need accommodation, the college offers PG facility for the first year students only. Another expense is bus fare which is optional 10-12 thousand per semester for bus facilities. Scholarship is very rare in the college, only for Muslim minority, that too on merit basis. However, college has affiliation with entrepreneurship facilitator who may help with startup funding only. College placement has picked up pace in recent years, but earlier we had limited options. Udaan scheme was available at the time which is no longer available. Now college facilitates students in getting jobs through open campus placement and other ways. Hopefully better opportunities will come but exposure will definitely be there if you come to MIET.
Campus Life
Sammilan is the name of MIET college fest which offers various activities to the students ranging from technology, culture, sports, gaming, literature, and many more. It is usually conducted in winters from anywhere between October and Feb. MIET has its own Library with a decent collection of books, be it technology, comics, journals can be weekly, monthly or annually. The best part of library is newspapers which you can read on daily basis. Classrooms are pretty neat and with basic amenities that are required to teach, white board, marker, few of the classroom have black board and chalk. Only labs have AC, classroom have fans. For sports, there is a playground you can use but not much facilities are there. However, MIET does have chess and carrom board to play and often conducts healthy competitions for indoor sports. MIET has its own literary club, technical club, of which i was one of the founding members.
