What Students Say

Likes

Extra space and very best campus life and extra curricular activities
There are blocks respectively for each and every department
Two library's and Two big auditoriums and better infrastructure

Course Curriculum Overview

I've not been to college I've been to foundational course faculty were good and there were 20 girls and 40 boys all the teachers are PHD qualified. Teaching methods were very good I had 0 knowledge in coding after the foundation course I had great knowledge. 6 months per semester exam it's autonomous so it's not that easy to fail and very easy to pass

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 150000 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

From your 5th sem, you can appear for campus interviews. It is one of the 5 colleges that collaborated with IIT Madras for research so companies hire a maximum number of students top companies like TCS TVS and HCL offer jobs The highest package granted was 18L for an annum to a CSE student AVG of 3.5 lakhs of the package is offered. From your third year, you'll be divided into two whether you want to continue for placements or entrepreneurship

Fees and Financial Aid

So the fee for BE civil Engineering is 1.5 lakhs per annum and the exam fee per sem costs 12k and the canteen is not that expensive it's fine good. As per the reservation process I got 60000 as a scholarship they also provide financial assistance

Campus Life

4.5

Every month they conduct a fest from each branch of engineering. There are two libraries a digital one and one for books. Classrooms are okay there is a swimming pool and table tennis court a gym a big ground for football and cricket nets as well. As I didn't join college so far I don't know about clubs but they said there are clubs you can join

Admission

No, you have to apply in the office before you can get admission so application forms will be given in the college offline located I got approx of 60 thousand reservation benefits. Online application is not available they would improve in future and eligibility is 75 percentage in your 12 board exams

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
