Rinu Maria Jacob 's Review On Government Engineering College - [GEC] Barton Hill, Thiruvananthapuram

Kerala entrance, The placement is one of the best in colleges and the staff is good in the subjects.

The curriculum was excellent other than few topics like A+ for which text or lectures were not there. And the mini project can be taken a bit more seriously. Other than these minor things every thing else was brilliant . The staff knew about the courses they were taking and HOD helped in any topics whenever required.

Placement is the best thing about the college and that is main thing which attracted me to join in this college. We were almost everyone placed who wanted to be placed. Offered salary was par but not so great. If you are an average student you will be easily placed and get a decent salary.

Every branch in our college conducts their own big events.we conducted events when we were in third year and final year. Thus includes participation from almost all important colleges and across the branches. They are also fun activities like dance music for enjoyment and technical competition for IT , electronics and mechanical branches.

Since it's government colleges, the fees was very low. We paid something like 4000 per semester and everything was covered in that. Even in that few people got money from government,which I am not sure about the details.

I am not sure about the scholarship but loans are available from bank. The procedure is same as any student loan and many had taken that option to cover all the expenses.

In IT girls were of majority, electronics batch it was 50:50 and very few girls were there in mechanical branch. The college offered a very good atmosphere without any problems or issues on gender,religions etc. The complete and equal freedom was there for each and everyone.

Exams were 2 interns in every semester and a main semester exam. Intern exams marks also were considered in the final one (part of). A semester was 6 months so other than first year where you have one year and more subjects , we had semester exams every 6 months.

Once the rank list is published, fill the preference order of different colleges. We will get a notification from the entrance coordinator to which college we got admission. If interested we can join and either cancel or confirm that we are continuing there.

The topics of first is generic and the staff are very much up to mark. From the second year it's more towards the branch we have opted and staff is also so good in the topics they are taking. In case they are unable to provide satisfactory answers they always refer to others mainly senior staff or HOD and always ensured that we are clear on our doubts.
