GCE Salem, BE, Electronics & Communication Engineering

Entrance Preview

Actually no entrance examination is need to join BE in Tamilnadu since the cutoff of 12th has to be taken. I scored 195.5 in board exam and choose Government College of Engineering Salem. Which is my dream college since the placement is nearly 99% at the time when i joined.

Course Curriculum Overview

I choose ECE (Electronics & Communication Engineering) which is the top one among all. The course duration is 4 yrs which contains 8 semester. The overall structure of the course is very good since it starts with the very basic level in 1st semester and ends with the research level i.e Project in the 8th semester.

Internships Opportunities

There is no internship program in our college but they offer many opportunities by In plant training in semester holidays.

Placement Experience

The placements are very good at the time i joined i.e 99% but it is slightly decrease afterwards of around 85%. TCS, HCL, Infosys, etc in IT sector and Robert Bosch, Checktronics, Tech Mahendra in core sector are regular companies with very good package of around 3 Lacs per annum initially.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is very feasible when compared with the other private colleges since it is fully owned by the government. Around Rs.6000 we paid as the semester fee, apart from this paid exam fee which is Rs.150 / 200 for each paper which is also applicable for lab.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes, Scholarships are available to all students excluding OC students of around Rs.3000 to Rs.4000. And also educational loan is provided by the college.

Campus Life

Since our college is co-education, many guys or girls can easily overcome the hesitation who studied in boys or girls schools. NCC, NSS, Workshops, Sports, Cultural functions etc are conducted every year. And there is no politics in the college except few department guys show their guts in front of the girls.

Alumni/Alumna

Yes, our alumni are working in many large organisation like BEl, BHEL, TCS etc and they are oftenly contact our college placement coordinates regarding placements. And also Alumni get together is happened every year in the college.

Exam Structure

It is one of the college in our state which has separate lab and department building for each department. The course contains 8 semester along with 3 / 4 labs in each semester. And also the final semester is completely project. Even though we did many mini projects.

Admission

After the board exam, the Application notification released before the publish of 12th result. Then after applying using the cutoff which we got in 12th. The rank assigned by Anna university is released and the counselling date also. At the time of counselling, we have to choose the college according to the seat available at that instance.

Faculty

4.5

There is very limited number of faculties in each department when i studied but now there is enough number. Even though the number is limited they arranged many guest lecturers to overcome that situation. And also the teaching of the faculty is extremely good since they are very well experienced.

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

Placement Training and Career development at CIT

Likes

In my college , I experienced diversed equality and gained more knowledge by training staffs and assessments

Placement Experience:

One thing I really need to appreciate at CIT is its placement training program. The placement team conducts regular sessions on 1. aptitude 2. coding 3. communication skills 4. group discussions and 5. interview preparation which helped me feel more confident during placements. The trainers were friendly and always encouraged us to improve our skills step by step. They provide continuous guidance and feedback throughout the training process. Mock interviews and one to one assessments helped me to understand my strength and weak areas and I work on improvements . These sessions not only improved my technical and communication skills but also boosted my confidence . The placement training team played an important role in preparing me for career opportunities and industry expectation

My College Experience

I chose this college because I am a resident of this city Salem and wanted to be a day-scholar. This college is also NAAC accredited with A+ grade and also stands as the higest graded government engineering colleges in the whole state of Tamil Nadu. The transport facility for reaching this college is also easy for me as there is availability of college bus which goes around the city to pick up the students i.e. the dayscholars all around the city. I didn't get any rejection from any other college because I got this college in my first round of counselling itself and so did not go for any other options and was not rejected by any. There is no entrance exam to get into the college. It is purely merit based and depends on the Anna University Counseling process....Read More
