What Students Say

Likes

the freedom is good if you stay within rules
the teachers are good from academic point of view

Dislikes

attendance mandatory of 75 % can be tricky

Course Curriculum Overview

the curriculumn is good and well versed. but the timeline allocated for covering all the topics is not really realistic as students don't get time to go in depth. the timing for internal exams are 1-1.5hrs sem exams lasts 3hrs

Class Size: 64Course Fees: INR 1300000 per year

Placement Experience

the placements start from third year. there are multiple oncampus companies that visited like juspay,zs associates, cognizant,accenture,capegemini and etc. the average package is aroung 5,00,000 the percentage of student is around 60-70 around this year but its still going on by this march.

Fees and Financial Aid

sem fees per year was around 2,50,000 book fees is 15,000 cdc is 25,000 after this base fees there might be broke fees for lab arund 150-500, entertainment fees 1500 there might be rank based concession for top students

Campus Life

the texus fest is conducted annually multiple other fests and events happen monthly. the range of books and journals is low in the library the facilitites in class are projectors and smart boards. there are multiple non tech and tech clubs present which are great for networking.

Admission

i applied to vit got in but chose srm as it is nearer to the city. i didn't apply to lot of college because i had low pcm cutoff the process is simple either counselling or exam srmjee depending on rank you can get concession.

Faculty

1:70 is the facultyto student ratio the faculty you get depends on the luck you have. if you have a chill faculty you are good to go and mind your work. there are suprise tests and two internal exams before the semester.

Night Life

the curfew is kind of strict so the nightlife is around till 9pm max but if you are not living in college hostel you are free toroam and return whenver you wish. the famous hangout spots are tea shops and restaurants nearby

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

Placement Training and Career development at CIT

Likes

In my college , I experienced diversed equality and gained more knowledge by training staffs and assessments

Placement Experience:

One thing I really need to appreciate at CIT is its placement training program. The placement team conducts regular sessions on 1. aptitude 2. coding 3. communication skills 4. group discussions and 5. interview preparation which helped me feel more confident during placements. The trainers were friendly and always encouraged us to improve our skills step by step. They provide continuous guidance and feedback throughout the training process. Mock interviews and one to one assessments helped me to understand my strength and weak areas and I work on improvements . These sessions not only improved my technical and communication skills but also boosted my confidence . The placement training team played an important role in preparing me for career opportunities and industry expectation
