Hostel Facilities
Hostel facilities arent that bad. Rooms contain a cupboard a table a cot and a chair. Hot water for bathing is provided till 9 a m in the morning. Drinking water is available and is both cold and hot. Only vegetarian meal is served in the mess hall and is actually good in taste. Only the breakfast served is not that good. Hostel accommodation process is also online and almost all the students can be given hostel rooms
Admission
I chose this college only because of its nirf ranking and the location of the campus. So i applied for vit and snu as well. I find vit vellore to be more crowded and also the hostel fee is high. Snu on the other hand charges a fee of rupees 3 lakhs. I got a confirmed seat in Vit vellore but as i already told due to the crowd i did not join there. I was not rejected by any othe the colleges that i applied to The admission process include writing of AEEE exam or through the jee mains score . I preffer AEEE exam because it is easy to score and succeed. It is advisable to choose JEE mains method of your percentile is above 90.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is almost 1:40 . But the faculties are very much approachable and some of them are actually down to earth. The faculties that i liked are Radha Mam (Dept of maths ) and Sivagama Sundari mam(Dept of Electronic engineering) They both are too down to earth. They emphasise on teaching life lessons along with the subjects. The teachers i dont like were my class advisors Lekshmi And Nakeeran. Both of them were too rude. There are around 2 main exams midterm and end semester exam. Other than this class test will be conducted and the are for internal exam. 60 percentage of marks is for internals and the other 40 percentage is for external. In the first sem around 7 students failed to clear the exam. The course curriculum is almost relevant
Night Life
This campus has 3 gyms for men and 1 for women and almost has all the equipments required. The public place environment is good and the cafeterias there are 3 to 4 cafeterias in which 2 cafeterias offer non veg Hostel curfew time for first year boys is 9 pm and for girls is 8 30 pm There is a night canteen present in one of the seniors hostel and is very nice to hangout there. Overall it is good to hangout but we have lots of restrictions. Coimbatore is near to our college and can be accesed by train easily
