Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The faculty is chosen on basis of research and not teaching skills and therefore they are bad at teaching. The students have to refer to outside resources for most of the courses like youtube etc.The faculty student ratio is around 1:10. The exams are usually difficult.

Internships Opportunities

4

For first year students, a mail appeared which offered 2 month long internship in tokyo. Another internship opportunity in quantum research was offered for students from the CSE and EE departments with over 9 cpi.

Placement Experience

4

From the 7th semester students are eligible to sit for campus placements. The average last year was 27 lakh. However,due to recession, many students were unplaced,and the placement was very poor compared to normal years.

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fees is around 1 lakh per semester and if your TFI (total family income) is within 5 lakh you avail 100% tuiton fees waiver,under the MCM (merit cum means) scholarship. Further more,if you qualify as a Teaching Assistant for any course,you get a fixed monthly stipend.

Campus Life

3.5

The main cultural fest is antaragini, it was held in october last year, the tech fest is techkriti, and will be held in march. There are a plethora of academic books in the national famous P.K. library. The sports facilities are excellent too.

Hostel Facilities

4

The hostels for second year onward students are 60 years old, and have poor condition. The first year hostel was finished in 2016 and has the best condition in the campus. The meal quality has generally been decent. All basic facilities are aptly covered in the hostel.

Admission

The admission criteria was based on jee advanced score,which involved physics chemistry and maths. The application form,fees and dates can be found on the jee adv website. The paper's total marks varies every year and is roughly around 360 marks,120 per subject. The top 7 IITs have a higher cutoff than usual.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate it average . It is comprehensive but not so useful as in todays world we require more skills than the formulas. It is related to communication and i am very interested in that . It is not very good for real world application but wr do learn about the basics and get hold of how everything work but does not cover advanced technology. Syllabus should be revised and should be more based on skills than theory and rattafication There are 3 to 4 exam per semester which can be very hectic that it feels like we are giving exams every few weeks. Difficulty is not that much but syallabus is really hard to cover amd we can not focus more on skills and projects more of the time we are giving exams

course curriculum is little bit out-dated, and improvements are needed in terms of syllabus. timing of exams are ok ok. so many assignments are given which is really hectic because their are deadlines to upload those assignments in google classroom. and one thing i hate about college is 75% attendence is must. due to this we do not get much time for our personal development.
