SVPCET Nagpur, a nostalgia that remains forever

I opted for BE Mechanical Engineering course as it was my dream to become a mechanical engineer. Faculties were very good and provide practical demonstrations for better understanding. Lab facilities were quite good and advanced machinery was also available. In mechanical engineering department the student ratio is like 80:20, i.e 80 boys 20 girls. Each classroom consists of nearly 70 students. All faculties were from technical background only. The HR department is also helpful during placements and internships. The college conducts unit tests twice in a semester before appearing for semester examinations. The test pattern was similar to that of semester examinations, which was actually very helpful in building confidence in students.

My internship was at AMUL Ltd. For 3 months during my 8th semester. I was an intern in the quality control department. I was offered a stipend of 3k each month. Learned a lot about company policies and quality measurements which has helped me a lot in future.

From the 7th semester students are eligible for placements, companies like HCL, Wipro, tech, cognizant, TCS, tata, and sap. etc visit the college. Most were placed at TechMahindra and TCS, nearly 65%. Remaining by others, a total of 78 companies visited the campus in 2015.

A total of 4.5lacs was my fees during the 4 years of the course including hostel fees. To avail scholarship facility student has to pass an exam every year with more than 80 percent marks. Educational loan facilities were provided by the college authorities if someone opted for them. The placement process was very good, a total of 3 rounds of placements happened in the final year. I got placed in TATA Bearing in 2015 with a package of 4lacs and 6 months probation period.
