Course Curriculum Overview
The standard of teaching here is so high. One can easily qualify competitive exams like GATE and GRE if he/she scores decent marks here. There is limit for no of students to join a elective. So many of the students often end up taking electives which are neither useful nor interesting for them. I think every students deserve a freedom to choose the electives of his interest. Each semester has a mid semester exam of 30 marks and 3 quizzes which comprises of 20 marks. And these 50 marks are considered as internals. And End sem exam is conducted at the end of the each semester which comprises of 50marks. And the final grade is obtain after adding these marks together and assigning grades using relative grading. The difficulty level of exam varies from moderate to hard based the lecturer.

Student who wants to get a seat through management quota have to be pay INR 6 Lakhs Rupees every year. Student who got seat through merit based list will have to pay INR 2.4 Lakhs. Hostel fees will be INR 1.07 Lakhs. And a caution deposit of 10000 rupees is included.
Campus Life
The college has so many clubs and all of them are almost active throughout the year. I was in ECE Club of our college. I had organised various seminars and competitions related to electronics and it's advancements. Later after an year I got promoted for junior executive post to technical lead post in my club. The only problem is the clubs are often not funded well and this is what stops the clubs to perform at its peak. The college also offers encouragement to sports and we have football, hand ball, basket ball, volleyball, athletics, cricket and badminton. And there is ground dedicated to each of the following sports. The is a college library in which there is avast collection of books and journals related to all disciplines. We can also borrow any book from library for a month and after that you have to either renew the book or you will be charged 8 rupees per day as fine.
Hostel Facilities
The rooms of the hostel are average and the hot water facility is available. There is free Wi-fi service also available but speed of internet is not so great. The BTech students will get accommodation in 4 sharing rooms and MTech students get 2 sharing rooms. There is a dedicated study hall in each hostel. No Iron boxes or kettles are allowed inside hostel rooms. And the electricity supplied to the rooms is of low power. The hostel mess food is not good at all in terms of taste. But the quality is ok. There is often a limit for specific food items. The menu of the mess is decided by hostel authorities themselves. There is nothing like food committee for students to decide their own menu. At the time admission, you need to specify that you want to opt for hostel and you will have to sign relevant undertakings to get hostel accommodation. And the price of the hostel is a little expensive.
Admission
I have wrote JEE Advanced and I have good 148 marks But I was disqualified for not meeting the minimum marks criteria in chemistry. So I had to see for other options. I join this college because I was told that the college is very good in terms of placements. I had few more options too... SRM & VIT. But this college is better than SRM college. And VIT fees was so expensive so I have confirmed my admission here. The admission process of Amrita School of Engineering is you have to write AEEE exam and provide your JEE mains score if you have any. Once the counselling process starts you have to upload your course preferences and you get a seat based of your AEEE score and JEE mains score.
Faculty
For every 10 students we have 1 teacher. The teacher are often approached by the students. But are very strict while evaluating the answers in exams. Every subject will be evaluated for 100 marks. 60 marks for internals and 40 marks for end sem exam. In internals, 3 quizzes of 10 marks each and 1 mid sem exam of 50 marks(but will be scaled down to 30 marks) are there. Exam are often found to be very difficult. And around 40-60 students out of 183 students per subject in my class fail to clear exams.
Night Life
There is a two gyms one for boys and one for girls located at respective hostels. And the equipment in the gym is old and often there are so many people in the gym. gym will be closed on sundays. And day scholars are not allowed into gym. There are 3 cafeterias in total. All three of them open at 8:00 am in the morning and closed at 7:30 pm. Only veg and egg dishes are served at the cafeteria. The campus timings are 6:00 am to 8:30 pm. And girls have to move to hostel before 8:00 pm. After 9:30 pm, silent hours get started and no one is allowed to roam even in corridors of the hostel. Everyone should stay inside their rooms. We are not allowed to roam at the night so night life in this college is not so enjoyable. The locality is pretty safe roam around in the nights
