Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course curriculum is well designed in case of practicals but a little outdated for the theory classes though you will get an ample amount of knowledge and clear all the basics, it is not an interview-ready, and have to hustle a bit on your side to prosper.

Internships Opportunities

Companies come for in-campus internships during the third year of college and some of them offer a PPO. There are comparatively more companies for Non-Core software jobs than core jobs. Many of the students get on-campus internships others apply for off-campus.

Value For money college

Course Curriculum Overview:

I mainly chose this course because the college is Autonomous, which allows them to update the syllabus faster than standard university colleges; seeing subjects like Python and Data Science in the early semesters really influenced my decision. The curriculum is decent for getting placed in service-based companies like TCS or Wipro since they focus heavily on the basics and aptitude, though for high-end product roles or research, you have to put in extra effort yourself. I definitely think they need to reduce the theory load and focus more on practical coding because sometimes it feels like we are just writing assignments instead of building things. Also, the junior faculty rely too much on reading from slides, which really needs to change to make classes more engaging. As for exams, it feels like we are always writing them since we have two internals and one end-semester exam per term. They are moderately difficult and the checking is strict, so you can't slack off, but the tight schedule can get quite exhausting.

Overall the college and the campus is very good but the exam pattern is worse so it should be improved

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course and curriculum is nice as they are interelated to each other and encourage us to study more and makes us more curious to learn new things but we have some minor course which I don't think it is required for the course and we only have some credits for that course not even exam is being conducted

Placement Experience:

At GITA Autonomous College, students typically become eligible for campus placements from the 6th or 7th semester onward (i.e., in the final year of the B.Tech program). This means you start getting placement opportunities in your 3rd year of study after completing core academics and initial training through the placement cell.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from their 3rd year onwards. It has been only 2-3 months but I have seen several companies arriving at the college, prominent ones being Flipkar,Deloitte, Xerox, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Microsoft, Dell and several others including startups. There is no accurate data on how many offers have been made this year, but there are rumours that more than 95% of the eligible students have got placements. After getting a degree my plans are if I dont land into a satisfying job then I will start my preparation of the military or start a new business.

I had a choice for chemical engineering in NIT Calicut,kerala my home state but i was not interested in chemistry so I dropped that choice and preferred electrical engineering in NIT Rourkela because choosing this would be more related to core and computer field which also was the one I was interested in. The admission procedure is that you should clear JEE Main with a good percentile or rank so you can get into any of the NITs I chose this college because this was the maximum limit that I could get with my JEE main ranks...Read More
