Shubham's Review On Vishwakarma Government Engineering College - [VGEC], Ahmedabad

Most of the students hail from ahmedabad and gandhinagar itself, so locals make up for about 80% of the class, while the rest are from different parts of the state. Students are generally not nerdy all round the year, but as the exams come close, the coll

Chandkheda is almost mid-way from the main cities of ahmedabad and gandhinagar on the north end of the city,very close to the s.p.ring road and meets it at the tapovan circle. The indian institute of technology, gandhinagar, also has a transit campus currently in this campus. Even otherwise government engineering college is a landmark in itself. About 15km from gandhinagar and about 3kms from the ring road junction, reaching here is no issue at all state transport buses from gandhinagar and amts buses from ahmedabad ply to the college at regular intervals. about a 40% of students get to the college on their own vehicles and donot be surprised if we tell you that a brts route to the college should be ready before the next batch comes in, so getting here would be much easier.

Unlike other government colleges, vgec is way better in all regards. faculty is available for all the subjects, and lectures are conducted regularly. Senior faculties are good teachers, and the college makes it a point to keep a check on the ones who are not so good so in general the ece department is considered to be the best when it comes to faculties.

Campus placements here are good, but you need to maintain a fairly decent cpi by the time of campus placements. maintain about a 7 pointer, and you should be eligible for most of the companies coming on the campus. out of those who are eligible, what remains is clearing the tests conducted by the companies, which depends on an individual student. The college does its best in getting the companies to the campus. some big names include tcs, igate-patni, l&t, torrent power, hitachi, dexter, ford and desma. Students also get core jobs, which is not the case in many of the colleges out of the entire batch about 30-35% students get jobs oncampus, while others try outside or have other plans on mind.

Rs.2,600 per year, of course because its a government college.

Being a government college is no deterrent to the management of vgec, and things and operations are pretty good here. The campus is sprawling, andthe facilities all first-class, and the environment peaceful and serene. There are virtually no attendance issues, but the teaching is not affected by that practical exposure is provided, and seniors and faculties are approachable. A gate club run by students helps thosewho wish to pursue masters. Overall a good choice for most, and the fees if youconsider are almost negligible.
