What are some common myths about ABES Engineering College in Ghaziabad?

I graduated from ABES Engineering College, so I can share what it's really like.

Placements:
In your third year, a few companies will start visiting, but you'll see more frequent visits in your fourth year. Right now, big companies like TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Accenture aren't hiring in large numbers. Most companies offer roles like Business Development Associate for CSE/IT students or sales roles like telecommunication or executive engineer, with salaries around 3.5 LPA. However, some good companies do come offering packages over 7 LPA. One thing that works in the college's favor is its location, which draws many startups from the NCR area.

Attendance:
Having been through this myself, I can tell you that the attendance policy is strict. You need to maintain at least 75% attendance, and there are no exceptions. I used to skip classes a lot and often had less than 50% attendance. The college doesn't let that slide. They send warning letters to your home about low attendance and may even bar you from taking the ST exams each semester. So, it's important to keep an eye on your attendance!

A situation occurred on October 20, 2023, where two faculty members supposedly asked a student to leave the stage because he greeted the crowd with "Jai Sri Ram" during a cultural event. This led to online trolls labeling our college as Hinduphobic, which has hurt our reputation.

But let's look at the actual scenario:

• We always kick off our cultural and gathering events with a Saraswati Vandana.
• Our campus has a lovely temple, and pooja and aarti are carried out twice daily.
• Students can freely wear religious symbols like kalawa, kada, or lockets. I personally wear a tripundra tilak and have never faced any criticism or trolling.
• There are numerous other instances that showcase our inclusive and respectful nature.

The October 20 incident was regrettable, but it doesn't represent ABESEC as a whole. There is no anti-Hindu sentiment here.
