Remarks

I chose this college because it encourages holistic learning. The course curriculum is based on the practical skills and project work. The campus is also perfect for learning. They provide all the basic facilties to the students.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum aimed to improve the design and imagination skills of the students. It is primarily based on the project work and less of theoretical knowledge. The faculties were excellent. They taught us in an easy manner and their teaching also gave us industrial exposure since most of them have worked in highly reputed organisations.

Course Fees: INR 1680000 per year

College Events

There are workshops and seminars which are organised from time to time where reputed members of the fashion industry come and enlighten students. Annual fest is also held where students enjoy them to the fullest.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college offers three types of scholarships. Merit Scholarship is offered to the student who scores the highest marks in first semester of the undergraduate degree. 50 percent of the academic fees is given as the scholarship. Jayatee deshmukh scholarship is offered to the girl who scores the highest in the Symbiosis entrance test. Sports scholarship is offered to 5 outstanding sportsperson of the college.

Campus Life

The campus infrastructure was quite good. It had all the basic facilties a student requires. There are a number of labs and studios where students can conduct their practicals. There is a library which is 3400 sq ft wide. There are well furnished and spacious seminar halls and conference halls. There are computer labs which have branded computers and internet facilities.

Admission

In order to get admission in this college,the candidates have to pass through a stringent screening procedure which involves a written entrance test. The candidates who qualify the written test are then called for the studio test and personality test. A sum of rupees 2750 has to deposited while filling the application form online.

Proud to be a part of claras college

Likes

The faculty members are highly qualified, approachable, and always willing to help with academic or research projects.
The campus infrastructure is excellent, featuring modern labs, a well-stocked library, and great sports facilities.
Placement opportunities are robust, with many top-tier companies visiting the campus for recruitment every year.

Dislikes

The hostel mess food lacks variety and quality, which is a frequent concern among resident students.
The placement department needs improvement as more core internship and job opportunities could be provided for undergraduate finance and BMS students
There is a lack of student-accessible Wi-Fi facilities across the campus premises, which makes online research difficult during college hours.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) course primarily due to its highly comprehensive coverage of core business aspects specially human resources. The curriculum is well-structured to offer a deep understanding of corporate administration and strategic management, which strongly influenced my decision to enroll. Regarding the examination structure, semester exams are conducted systematically every six months, with internal assessments, assignments, and class presentations spread across the term. The timing is generally manageable, and the difficulty level ranges from moderate to high, effectively testing a student's analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities rather than just memory recall.

Excellent college for diplomawith supportive faculty

Likes

teachers are helpful and you can ask them your doubts without any problem. most of them are quite supportive
there are technical events, sports and cultural programs during the year, so college is not only about studies
i liked the practical sessions and labs because we actually got to work on things instead of only learning the thoery

Dislikes

Placements opportunities could be better and i feel the college can bring more companies for students
Sometimes the academics workload can fell a bit much, espically when assignments, practicals and exams come around together
Using mobile in the collge is strictly not allowed and if used our mobile is taken and given after 6 to 7 days .

Placement Experience:

Placements at VES Polyetchnic are decent for a diploma college. students generally become eligible for placements in the final year.Pacages depend on the company and branch, with some offer going above 4 LPA. the placement cell also helps with interviews and internships. after diploma, many students also choose to continue with higher studies

PES College of Engineering: Overview of the college

Likes

The campus of the college is vast with a natural environment
Many facilities like library, sophisticated labs, and classrooms are provided by the college
The Teachers cover each and every point of the syllabus and guide the students.

Dislikes

The syllabus is a little bit outdated, that is some points in the syllabus may seems boring and not applicable in the real world.
The Teachers should use the right techniques for teaching which makes the students more engaging in the class.
The menu of the canteen must contain some health option in a budget friendly way.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement is decent in the college as compare to other colleges of the city . many companies visited the college every year to hire the skillful engineers from the college and offer them a good amount of package. The option of the offcampus palcement is also there for the students of the other colleges.

College campus, it is big, not much conjusted, good nature friendly
Freedom upto some level, no uniforms, no ID compulsion unless it is an exam
Events,every now and then there are events in college, cultural club is also too good here👍

Dislikes

Faculty is not much well qualified or well trained I would say
Hectic curriculum, boring schedules and quite unlivable
Labs and classrooms are too old, infrastructure is very old

Placement Experience:

Yes there is placement cell of STES which is no different than other tier 3 engineering colleges offering a tier 3 average package depending on who is the recruiter. Students become eligible for campus from 3rd year of their degree. Highest package is something around 55 lakhs offered to a computer engineering student,and average is just like I said for a tier 3 college 5-6 lakhs(above or below). Almost everyone gets placed in the company but some might not.

Canteen is good but they must increase their staff.
Class should be sound proof.noice from outside disturbs.

Placement Experience:

From sem 7 students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Accenture,Wipro, Microsoft, HyperVerge have visited college. In 2020 highest package was 30 lac per annum by Amazon. Last year only 40% students got the placement. I am planning for competitive exams after degree.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have chooses this curriculum as I am intrested to do law. Many of students and other peoples praises the college as "Best College of Law" in Marathwada region. To be honest. Really it is best college. Which gives us best curriculum during our academic year. The curriculum of college teaches me how to become a good lawyer. The arguing skills etc. There should be no suggestions from my side just to imrove the course curriculum as it is overall good. The timings and scheduled are fixed by college and university. Generally the exam is in two shifts 10:00 to 1.00 and 2.00 to 5.00pm.

Some departments here were really great like ETC and Mechanical with a unique culture going on
AIML and AIDS being new branches here are still doing their job very well for the students

Dislikes

The Students section not really tends to help ,as i saw many financially weak students facing the problem of 1 time payment fees and their request for part payments option is always rejected
Infrastructure is decent but in summer season the water coolers are just useless there ,no cooler will give you cold water

Course Curriculum Overview:

Some courses were to the point like IOT was well designed and DSA too with java programming side by side ,still as i said AIML is new branch and needs much enhancements ,the areas where they can improve was always practicals and labs those were always taken casual as i remember

Remarks:

Laxminarayan Institute of Technology is a reputed institute, when it comes to the field of Chemical Engineering. The placement at LIT for M.Tech students is also decent. In my batch, 50% of the students were placed on Campus, which is better than many NITs for Chemical Engineers doing M.Tech. The admission fees of 27,000 per year is also less in comparison with other institutes. The Teachers at LIT are also vastly experienced. Also the Institute was in my hometown, which made my decision even more easier.

Honest unbiased review of symbiosis institute of design

This college was one of the few colleges that had the exact course I wanted, with good placement opportunities and connections. It's also reputed in the design and law field. The website was well informed and the most striking part was their intake process. It is a three tiered system with a general test being the first, which has questions about general knowledge, design, logical reasoning and basic math, science, english etc. Once you clear the first phase, you move on to the next phase, that is the prpi test. They give you a certain task which you must perform in a certain time window and submit. In my case, I was given a music clip and was told to imagine a character and make a physical model according to the audio. Once you pass that, you move on to the interview and that's it!...Read More

Review from a Fresher

The application forms and minimum qualifying details are available on the SID official site. Stay tuned to this site for updates. Since I belong to the general category, I could not avail myself of any reservation benefits. I attempted the SEED exam online in February this year. The duration of the test was 1 hour. The exam process was not very difficult as we were provided with proper instructions and guidelines. After I cleared my first round of SEED, I prepared a model for the situation test which was again online and was discussed in the PRPI round along with my portfolio review and personal interview. I was very nervous before the interview but the interviewers were so friendly yet professional that helped me clear my interview confidently. The jury asked questions mainly about my situation test model, my portfolios, my aspirations as a designer, etc.Overall it was a great experience for me...Read More

Life at Symbi Design

Due to the pandemic which began in 2020, the entire experience was based online. My first preference was to get into NIFT, but since I did not clear the exam I had to go with my second preference which was SID, Pune. I had also applied for UCEED exam and scored 1230 rank AIR. I did not go for it because I wanted fashion communication which was not available. I also cleared extrance exams of Srishti, MIT, WUD and I did not go for them. Srishti and MIT did not offer fashion communication. When I talked to few seniors they told me that SID Pune is better than WUD since WUD is a new college. I am from the general category. The admission criteria for my programme for all colleges is entrance test, situation test (offline) and personal intrview. Due to the pandemic all the colleges mostly had entrance test and personal interview/ portfolio review only. For SID Pune, they first selected us on the basis of our portfolio and then shortlisted us for the interview. The interview was pretty great....Read More
