Course Curriculum Overview

4

The curriculum is nice but actually in first year you cannot choose any course. You will get courses as per your branch. For example, my branch was civil engineering so I got Physics 115 and 112 and other department students got other Physics courses. The mid sems and endsems both last a week or 2. They are not much hard and you can easily score higher if you start studying a week before their commencement.

Internships Opportunities

4

Internship opportunities are quite good. Student placement office helps you in your internship . However, you must have a good CPI and skills required for an intern. The companies offer a good stipend and you get to learn a lot.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placements are good . Some of my seniors are placed in very good companies and almost all students get placed. The student placement office cooperates a lot in your placement year. Various options are available.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fee is normal. However, there are scholarships if your income is low or you are a category student. If your income is less than 1 lakh, you get 100% scholarship. If less than 6 lakes, you only have to pay one third.

Campus Life

5

The campus life is very good. The campus is lush green with international level sports facilities. Almost all kinds of sports facilities and grounds are there. There are also various clubs and events in which you can participate to build your personality.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The hostels are nice but the rooms are slightly small. There is double and triple sharing in the rooms. However, you will become used to it in a month or so. The bathrooms are clean. There are shops and canteen , mess inside the hostel only.

Admission

The admission process is very easy. Participate in JOSAA counselling and fill in the required details . If your rank is good and satisfies the previous years cutoff, you can get admission easily. The JEE advanced which is used as an entrance test for this college is quite tough.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty to student ratio is very good. I think it's 1 faculty per 20-30 students. There are classes sometimes from morning till evening including the labs. The teaching assistants will help you in your labs , be it engineering drawing or chemistry or Physics labs. However, Physics labs are slightly boring and hectic which you would realise very soon. However, the faculty are helpful and they will arrange for revision sessions before the exams. They will also give you time that come in my office in this duration to ask doubts if you have any. Approachability to teachers is not as good as it was in your JEE prep. Seniors and colleagues will guide you in most cases.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The teaching methods of the faculty is very good if I talk about petroleum department. Talking about the others, I've heard they are really very bad and a lot of them don't even know what they are teaching. According to me, the syllabus is very relevant to the real world applications and other examinations for further studies as well. We have mid sems about 1.5 months after starting of the semester and end sems after 1 month of it. It is suitable enough to prepare the syllabus.

i rate my DRONACHARYA GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS, 6/10 for course relevance and good nature of teachers but the overall college experience was very average since there is no real college life, no hostel, no network in classes, it's just like school. If you want academic focused college which I would not recommend, you can come to this college

Course Curriculum Overview:

First of all i don't know the curriculum before I joined this college but after entering I got to know that all aktu college have same worst curriculum. College students are only forced to focus on exams ,no real world problems ,no practical knowledge and some cases professors are only preparing students for gate neither for jobs and placement For the Computer science branches need way more improvement because they have 0 coding culture and students are still dumb upto 3rd year and 4th year Difficulty level of exams is moderate but simultaneously occuring of multiple exams in a year is worst thing I see in this college .

We also see companies like SAP AND TATA STEEL for specific roles. Here AVARAGE PACKAGE is around 4.5 LPA TO 5 LPA and HIGHEST PACKAGE 30 LPA.
