Remarks
The admission process was quite smooth. Admission to this course is conducted through WBJEE and JEE mains. One needs to have an under 10k rank in WBJEE (general category) for securing a seat in the CSE stream. There are SC, ST, OBC and TFW quotas available too. I had also applied for IEM, Kolkata but instead chose RCCIIT because it is a semi-govt. college and the fee structure here is much lower than IEM.
Course Curriculum Overview
From the very beginning, I was interested in computer science and its other applications. I chose CSE for the same. RCCIIT is primarily an IT college. The CSE and IT departments here are NBA accredited too. The faculty to student ratio in my department is generally around 1:60. The faculty members sound quite knowledgeable and are most helpful. Due to COVID-19, the classes are being held in online mode and the professors usually are well versed in the various video conference platforms. Exams are mostly conducted on time with some exceptions. The course curriculum is not up-to-date and doesn't correspond to the present industry standards. Also, the same questions repeatedly over the years. Thus it is quite easy to pass the exams.
Placement Experience
Students from the 6th semester are eligible for placements. Companies like PWC, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, IBM and Tech Mahindra visit for on-campus placements. The highest package offered was 8 LPA (offered by Infosys) and the average package generally ranges between 4-4.5 LPA. 65-70% of students usually grab the on-campus placements.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure is affordable. It generally varies between 80k to 85k a year. The total fee is somewhat around 3.69 lacs. Also, there are no hidden fees. The placement scenario is not that good and mostly average. The highest packages offered are in the range of 8 LPA and the average package offered is 4 LPA. Companies like TCS, Infosys, PWC and Cognizant visit the college for placements. On average about 70-75% of students get placed every year.
Campus Life
RCCIIT holds its own cultural fest, Regalia and tech fest, TechTrix. These are generally held between March and April. Books (and reference books) are in adequate quantity. There's a book bank facility too. RCCIIT also has its own coding club, RccTechz. It is a completely autonomous club managed by students. It holds various events, including sessions on competitive coding, web development etc. It also invites reputed alumni as speakers in these events. The campus is quite beautiful and has well ventilated classrooms too.
Other Applied Colleges
