WCE, Sangli

Walchand College of engineering is one of the best engineering colleges in Maharashtra. It is located in Sangli City of Maharashtra.The admission in this college is based on marks scored in MHT-CET exam. Generally admission commences in the month of June and college starts by 1st Week of July. The college has a good placement record that's why this college is preferred by many students. The most sought after branches are CS and IT. The only drawback of this college that I found is it's location. Internship opportunities are not available in the Sangli city and most of the students need to go to either Pune or Mumbai for internship. The Campus is the most beautiful aspect of the college which is spread over 90 acres.

Course is well structured that suits industry standard. The course curriculum changes as per the requirement. I chose this course because of my interest in Electrical Engineering. for 70 students there is one faculty. Most of the facilities are having Doctorate and are well versed with their subjects. Not every faculty is good with teaching. Exams are conducted in 4 steps. 2 exams as class test, 1 mid semester exam and one end semester exam. Exams are relatively easy to pass as most of the questions in paper are taught in class itself

I didn't opt for any type of internship as it is difficult to get one. Most of the students who get internship are from CS and IT branch and students from other branches doesn't get internship easily.

Placement in college are quite decent with most of the students get placed. The highest packages are offered to CS and IT students. The highest package for CS branch was 42 lpa offered by Microsoft. Placement for other branches are quite average with median salary 4 lpa. I got placed in Larsen and Toubro and now aiming to do my master's

Fee structure is different for General Category, SC,SC and OBC. In 2020 Fees for General Category students was 87000/ year. For OBC it was 43000 and for SC it was 6000/ year.Fees is hiked every year. There are plenty of scholarship available but most of the are for caste students. Job on campus is hard to find.

Life at campus is pretty good. The Campus is lush green and located outside the city. Annual social gathering takes place in month of March and it's the biggest fest of College. The college library is one of the biggest in Maharashtra and contains all types of books. There are many clubs in colleges including non tech clubs like Art circle, Rotract Club, PACE. Students can opt for any club of their choice. Sport facilities are not up to mark but still annually Sports fest are organised where students can take part.

There is no GD/PI for admission. Admission is totally based on MHT-CET score. In order to get into CS branch 160+ score is required. It is most sought after branch followed by Mechanical and IT. When I took admission in 2016 cut off for electrical was 148 marks for General Category
