Neelakshi's Review On Star Aviation Academy - [SAA], Gurgaon

There are professors with a really great industrial experience while there are some on a contract basis with a little work experience. But all of them follow a proper schedule and the classes are held regularly with the syllabus completed in time.

The eligibility criteria is 10+2 from CBSE or equivalent board with science background. You must be physically fit in order to get selected here, also they require a perfect vision at night.

The curriculum is made keeping in mind all the postgraduate entrance exams and the knowledge required in the field. Course is designed in a way that all of the parts under maintenance of an aircraft are covered under this.

The internship is not really encouraged by the college, so the students have to work on their own for the internship. Mostly, the good internships are unpaid. I got selected at Air Asia but they did not align me much work as they were not paying me so I had to ask them everytime to tell me what to do next.

The college does not have even 10% of placement. There are hardly 2-4 companies visiting in this college, though the management mentions that it has 90% of placement in its prospects. The maximum salary offered by the companies are 7-8 lakhs. But if you work hard you can get placed in off-campus interview.

There are very less no. of events that occur here, we celebrate festivals at hostel and seminars are there and likewise there are meets and some visits to the airport. Other than that there are not much events celebrated here.

I paid 55,000 per semester for the tution fees, 30,000 as the library and administration charges. Or you can pay a total of 4,50,000 in total. And if you opt for the hostel you have to pay 36,000 per semester which is quite high compared to the hostel services

No scholarships are not offered by the academy as it is not government authorized so they don't offer scholarships and loans are provided by the banks for this academy if this is listed under them but the college does not have any tie up with the banks.

The infrastructure is very good. We were provided with Wi-Fi labs, classrooms, well equipped libraries, cafeteria, sports ground, etc. In short, all the basic necessity of yours is taken care of, so that it is not an impediment in one overall development. The quality of labs are good, and being from computer engineering department, I can say that all the systems are updated with the latest software and hardware as of need.

The hostel, mess and medical facilities are also good here. I do not think that there is an infrastructure issue. . The food at the hostel is fine too plus there are a lot of options outside the mess.

I am not familiar with any of the alumni but I know some seniors who come up and meet us sometimes but they do not help us as when I asked them about giving their notes to me they faked an excuse.

All students are self-dependent for their study for exams. The college focusses only on theory and marks no practical, no company visit, no lab.

The faculty was not qualified for this course. When a bright student completed his study they hired him as a teacher. But they are not able to communicate with the new students and transfer their knowledge to them. The don't complete the course in time.
