The truth about the GOA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The course curriculum is not very difficult and aligned to industry requirements. The course curriculum includes a mandatory internship for each students which prepares for real world applications or further academic pursuits. The course curriculum is good but the teaching method should change. Instead of teaching on blackboards the students must be taught on digital screens which makes the class more interactive. At this colleges the exams are frequent. We have one exam every month and I belive this is necessary so that the students studies throughout the semester instead of studying just at the end. The exams are not very difficult and a students can clear any exam if he have attended the lectures

No companies visit our college for internship. Each students has to find a internship by themselves.However if a student is unable to find a good internship the college has MOU with multiple companies which help in getting students a internship. The main role in tech is SDE intern and the companies pay a stipend of 5000-10000 per month. The students work on various projects which help them gain industry experience

The placement at my college are decent. Students from Computer and IT department easily get placed at a company. The companies that frequently visit Goa engineering college are persistent, one shield, Infosys, tcs , Wipro etc . Each year there are around 300 offers received in the entire college. The highest package a student has got is 15lakhs per annum from TurtleShell. The average package is 6 LPA. Around 50% od the students get placed. I wish to work at a product based tech company after my graduation.

The college has a central library and each department has their own library so there are many books and journals available. The college does not provide sports and extracurricular activities in the campus. The basketball court has both the rings broken and the multipurpose ground is not well maintained. the college has plents of clubs and societies which helps students connect and socialise.

The room has basic facilities like furniture including a table, a chair, a cupboard and a bed. The room is generally 2-3 sharing in boys hostel and single rooms in girls hostel. The hostel rooms have fans and tube lights and plenty of sockets around the room. The meal quality is decent and the menu is inclined towards Goan food as most of the students are Goan.

The hostel is quite affordable as the fes is just 6100 per semester which is basically 1000 per month.

I got a seat at Vellore institute of technology, Bhopal in the CSE branch. But I chose not to study at VIT bhopal as the college is really crowded and as the colleges is privately owned the stakeholders are money minded they try to take money from students in every possible way.Also my seniors had warned me about the toxic environment at VIT Bhopal. I didn't get rejection from any colleges but I failed to get a good enough score to get CSE at MIT Manipal and i could only get mechanical engineering in which I want intrested. My college takes admission based on JEE rank. Each students has to apply at the Directorate of technical education, Goa online portal. After which a merit list is rolled out. Offline counseling takes place where students can select a branch based on their merit

The faculty to students ration at Goa engineering college is really great.Unlike private colleges goa engineering college doesn't have a very large intake. The annual intake for each department is just 90 students.Which make it 360 students in each department and each department has atleast 20 faculty members. So the ratio is around 1:18. All the faculties member are good but my favourite in the first year was Brigida D Souza ma'am. She is a really good mathematics teacher and helped me understand difficult concept. Although all the faculty members are good there are few faculty members who have really fragile ego. I won't be taking any names but there are some Each semester a student has to give 3 internal tests and 1 semester test for each subject. Each semester has 4-6 subjects.This makes it 16-24 tests evey semester. Nearly 30% of the students fail to clear atleast 1 paper in each semester. The course outcome is very relevant. After the implementation of New education policy in our curriculum our syllabus is more inclined towards practical learning.

The girls hostel has a curfew time of 9pm and in the boys hostel it is 10pm. Famous hangouts places inside the colleges is the college canteen and outside the college it is cafes like Tea Bar and Umesh Gados. Yes the locality is very safe to roam around at night
