A College worth to opt for!

Admission process was on the basis of MHT-CET and Jee Main scores. Also, there are 3 merit lists for admission. CSE branch had the highest cutoff about 160-170 followed by Mechanical and then EXTC. I secured admission in the first merit list round on the basis of my MHT-CET scores for EXTC branch (150 cutoffs in the first round). There are also various quotas like OBC, BC and Christian quota because this institute is of Christian Minority.

In the EXTC branch, the teachers are holders of MTech/ ME or PhD. Some even are members of society like IEEE, IETE etc. They have published research papers in prominent conferences and Journals like the IEEE journal and conferences and even encourage students (especially the final year students) to present their project/ technical papers in their conferences. There are weekly surprise tests, monthly internal assessments, practical exams, Prelims and the End sem exams.

College encourages that student should do internship right from the second year. They have tie up with Coursera wherein students can do online internships. Also, they bring in alumni who have founded startups so that students can intern in those startups. They generally get to learn technologies like AI, ML, Web development, Content manager etc which is very beneficial in building a good IT profile.
