Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course covers various topics which are on demand and cover industry relevant skills such as data science, cloud computing, IoT, machine learning, cryptography, operating systems, database management systems and more, This made me choose this course. The faculty:student ratio is 3:10. The faculty members are exceptional at teaching and assisting students at all times, they have both research and industry experience in various domains of computer science and engineering. Term exams depend on the semester the student is in, generally the mid-term examinations are conducted every one or two months in a semesterm, the grading method followed is relative grading hence it is difficult to pass.

Placement Experience

Students become eligibe for placements from 7th semester. The highest and average package offered at college are: 58.93LPA and around 14.10 LPA. On average 92% of students get placed. I plan to continue in my job role after degree

Fees and Financial Aid

Being a college of PPP model, the fee for this institute is relatively high compared to other national institutes but it is reasonable compared to the curriculum and facilities it offers. No financial assistance is provided by the institute directly. Currrently the institue offers 100% campus placements, but it also depends on the student's efforts for him to get a job.

Placement Experience:

As seniors said the average package is around 10lpa.If you have descent skills and above 8 cgpa you will get this average package. If you upskill yourself with effort which many students do here then you can also get above 15lpa which many seniors got.The highest package was off-campus by an ECE Student in Google despite having cgpa around 6.He had very good skills as a full stack developer.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from the 7th semester and internship from 3rd semester. You can apply for internship on your own right from first semester but college gives aid from 3rd semester. The major recruiter is ISRO which offers 40-45 jobs for aerospace engineering. Also other companies like CDac Airbus Boeing and DRDO and HAL visit for recruitment. Nearly 85-90% students get placed while some opt for Higher education and research too. My primary goal is to get into ISRO also I will be preparing for gate examination to complete my IIT dream.
