AKGEC College Review

The entrance Exam has given JEE Mains. Counseling for UPCET (AKTU- Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow, UttaPradeshsh). Eligibility is UPCET releases a brochure every year before counseling, follow that for updated information. Cut off 2021 (for reference) For CSE, CS, CSIT, CSE(AIML), CSE(DS), IT, AIML : 57000-91000 for All India Open category | 69000-145000 for Home State Open Category For Electronics Branches (ECE, EE Engineering) : 96000-359000 for All India Open Category | 168000 - 698000 for Home State Open Category Admission Process: If you locked AKGEC at UPCET then do 20,000 payment for the seat at the UPCET website then do physical reporting at college and you'll be assisted by the volunteers further. Follow the college's official website for updates. You can do the remaining 121856 fees by DD, Cash or online. Admission process at the college was easy but took a lot of time, printouts or photocopy could be done at the college premises (paid) or the shops nearby.

Course Curriculum is almost the same as most universities. Faculty members are good and you'll find some more supportive teachers in your 1st yr. The only thing is you need to ask for the things you want, nobody will come and serve. Well Qualified teachers and disciplined. My course was CSE(DS) at Home state OBC 111944 Jee Mains Rank One class has 60 students. There are a lot of exams and 1st year will be tough as it is for nearly all colleges, so be well prepared for a tough 12th-grade-like experience.

Training is open from the 3rd sem for Some branches and the 4th sem for all. The college will not give that push to you, it's on your own hard work to get the best internships. Web development and App development are the main tasks to get internships in.

Placements are okay if you see 4lac per annum as the average placement which is 6 lac per annum for tech branches on average. You can do your own hustle and hit offline placement. All big tech firms are recruiters like Amazon, Accenture, HCL, IBM, Infosys, etc. Mostly all the Upper Branch students get placement offers and most of the lower branch students who did amazing in coding or studies also get the offers. There are no exact figures but it's 96-98% placement. Placements are not the problem for this college. But it's up to your side hustle to get placed above average.

If you compare it to the Delhi NCR Private colleges then 1.5 lac for 1st yr Btech is not that expensive. You'll get the opportunity for scholarships by UP Govt. and all the other scholarship options as the college is NBA accredited. Also, you can finance the education loan as per your need, Roughly your living expense would be approx 70-80k for the 1st year and 1,30,000 if opted for hostels. It doesn't include your personal pocket money.

There are cultural societies and technical clubs which I recommend you must join. One big thing which will hurt you the most is the college has NO FESTS overall. No means nothing, zero fests or functions. If you want to enjoy college life and exposure then this college must NOT be on your list. It's a good college as per ranks and numbers but you'll not get any enjoyment. The only way to get engaged or get exposure is to join societies and participate in other colleges' competitions.
