Entrance Preview
It is an exam called CENTAC held by the Pondicherry University. Since I was staying in Pondicherry and this was a reputed college I opted for this college.This involves a Multi choice aptitude test in Maths, Physics and Chemistry with negative marks for the wrong answers. I secured the 23rd rank overall and chose for Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course spanned over 4 years with 8 semesters. 5 Theory subjects in each semester and 3 practical sessions.The first year was an intro to engineering with English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering Drawing. From the second year onwards the core subjects of both Electronics and Communication was introduced.In the final semester we had to submit a project as well.
Internships Opportunities
We didn't have an internship experience in college. This was not offered back then. The only stipend offered were for those who did their Post Graduation courses in the college. They were offered somewhere around 1Lakh a year.
Placement Experience
Since PEC (Pondicherry Engineering College) was the cream of the colleges in the University. We were the first pick.We had mass recruiters TCS, CTS, Infosys, CSC, Keane, IBM, Caterpillar come into college. Salary packages started off at around 3L PA and went to as high as 6L PA. We also had a rule that once a student gets placed, the student cannot attend another company for placement opportunities.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Since this was a Government collect the complete course was feasible. The annual expenditure for the whole month including the Hostel fees came upto around 50K 80k per year.
Fees and Financial Aid
I am not aware of any kind of scholarship/ loan offered by the college. There were special categories of seats offered for people in different quotas namely (Physically challenged, Sports persons etc).
Exam Structure
The exams and the labs were most of the times well spaced out and had a few days between them. It was not that hectic. At times when we had exams on consecutive days it was a bit hectic.
