Gagan Reddy's Review On Rajiv Gandhi College Of Engineering, Research And Technology - [RCERT], Chandrapur

Nice college overall (best in the university) but you will have to find your own ways to survive and excel. The best experience of my life came through my college days, as most of us feel college is the place where you get to explore new dimensions of this world learn a lot of technical aspects related to your selected course, but also aspects of life and how to face the challenges in ones life. In my College, I was able to flourish most of my personality as a human being I am today.

My admission to this college was through MHT-CET score and through the online CAP rounds for Engineering Colleges. There is no interview for the admission. I chose mechanical engineering in this college as I was interested in this field and also this branch was accredited which made me sure that it was going to provide good education.

The course I chose was Mechanical Engineering and I still believe it has much more to offer than I actually learnt in this college. Most of the focus in the university and the college is in theoretical approach which makes the subject boring and tough. I am not particularly satisfied with the education I got in the 4 years but ofcourse few subject taught were exceptional which I might not expect from any other college as the experience and knowledge that the teachers here have is immense.

No internship provided by college and it doesn't even encourage internships during the educational 4 years. (Pathetic).

The placement makes you cry. There is very limited placement, but if you prepare yourself for it you can very well be placed. Major company was Vedanta with about 6.5-8.5lacs package but only 6-7 students were placed from whole college. Rest of the companies were average and the package was about 1.5-2.75lacs average.

There were numerous cultural and technical fest throughout the year that made life happening in the college. But to get the contribution from the college the students had to work really very hard.

The course costs about 98000/-Rupees a year. And if you want the hostel facility it would be about 40000/- rupees more. I Personally fee that the college charges more than it provides, according to other colleges in the surroundings or else it is ok.

Yes there is a great opportunity in the sports field in this college as the university is new there is less competition and you can make your way to the nationals easily if you are good at your game.

The hostel is nicely maintained, it is based on double sharing. The cost was about 40000/- per annum and the food there was really nice compared to the outside.

There was rare interaction. It needed to be more.

The faculty is very experienced and highly qualified, with about 5 Phd holding lectures in mechanical engineering branch itself. The faculty is interactive and helps you whenever you ask for it. But the course itself needs to be synchronised with the modern world, its very outdated. The teachers mostly use old techniques to teach, except a few ofcourse who are unmatchable!
