Remarks

The admission in the college for engineering is not based on JEE Main/JEE advanced score but the University (ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY) conducts its own Entrance Exam namely AMUEEE (Aligarh Muslim University Engineering Entrance Exam). The level of the exam is equivalent to or slightly above the JEE main exams but with huge no of questions asked i.e. 150. You can find application forms on the university's official exam controlling the website. Admission is college is a little tough because of the huge no of applicants.

Course Curriculum Overview

I always had a huge interest in the engineering field that's why I chose this engineering field in this college. the college is Co-ed and the student-faculty ratio is also decent. All the faculty members are professors with tons of teaching and research experience. Exams are Semester wise only. First Sem exams were quite easy.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 16800 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The college is one of the most affordable Engineering colleges in the whole country despite being in the TOP 30 Ranking in NIRF ranking 2021. the fees of the college per year lie around just INR 16500-17000 which is quite affordable in itself. Poor Students which can't afford the college fees are given lots of scholarship opportunities by the University as well as some NGOs which work around the area.

Campus Life

The college conducts Semester End Fest namely TECH MELA in which all the departmental students around the college take part. The University of Aligarh(AMU) itself has Asia's Biggest Library (MAULANA AZAD LIBRARY), so we are given good facilities in this field by the university. Sports is the field where the college has to improve a little bit the involvement of students. Most of the students focus only on studies and miss their co-curriculum development. We also have various Clubs and Societies.

Other Applied Colleges

Vellore Institute of Technology | Btech CSE

because this college is one of the best private engineering college with good placement record.

No one takes responsibility , if a student is unplaced.

Placement Experience:

From 7th semester students become elligible for campus placements.From top companies like google , microsoft to new startups like Raspa , Protium all companes visits , Highest package was 96 LPA , 40% students get placed , rest suffers , if one is from core branch then they get chances for PSUs and other organization.

What I See at SRM Ghaziabad

Likes

I really appreciated the college clubs and hackathons.
There are variety of events throughout the semester, something to always keep you on your feet.
Some of the faculties are really really experienced and have a unique approach that captures the attention of all the students.

Dislikes

Not many hotspots around campus to hang out after classes.
The infrastructure of the hostel can be improved a lot.
Food in mess is not great, the menu is not very diverse. Everything has aloo.

Placement Experience:

Placements are actually impressive with our college having the highest placement rate among others in the region. We usually achieve ~90% placement. We get opportunities from many large groups, such as Infosys, TCS, JPMC, BNY, Logitech, etc etc The list goes on. The highest package that I saw was of around 1Cr from a company I don't remember their name, but it was based out of SF and was a really great one. Average placement we see is around 12-20LPA packages.

Dislikes

I don't like the attendence system of our college it very hectic to students

Course Curriculum Overview:

I opted for this course because I want to be a software engineer. I chose my course because it was well-informed, and my interest was also in this field from the start. The faculty members and platform were also quite good for nurturing personal skills and making one a skilled and disciplined person in life. I wish this course would focus more on practical things rather than being theoretical. Events, fests, and the campus environment are also very good and pleasing to the eye. Connectivity was also easy from all around the world due to its location. Scholarships were also awarded to almost every student.
