Divyanshu Chhabra's Review On Dronacharya College Of Engineering - [DCE], Gurgaon

The college management is very poor. Strict rules and no apt decisions are taken by the college at the right time. Its hard to reach the higher authority people in personal except when the students are with their parents.

I took JEE entrance and ranked about 3 lacks. Didn't want to leave the territory so looked up for the best colleges in the state. The college ranked among the top colleges in Haryana, called up and enquired about the admission procedure and based on my 12th percentage I got the admission.

College Curriculum is based on the University's pattern. Though it has become quite old for these times but the college keeps student updated with the latest trends through regular workshops and training sessions.

College does not provide with any internship. Although recent initiatives has been taken by the college to provide winter training. Students have to look for internships outside the college and that too during the last semester.

Placement for the Electronics and Computers branch is quite up to the mark but lacks in core branch like Mechanical and Civil. The recent placement for the mechanical and civil branch was almost negligible but most students easily hop onto an external placement easily.

Looking at the recent trends of fee structure in different colleges, the college fee is feasible .On an average the fee is 1 Lack annually (which can be split into 50K per semester.

The university topper of each branch is provided with a scholarship of Rs. 25k while the 2nd and 3rd one gets 15k and 5k each. No other scholarship is provided by the college itself except for a little exemption in the fees for OBC /SC/ST students.

Campus life is not very great. You wont see students bunking the class and sitting around in the canteen area or around the play field. Strict rules makes students unable to bunk classes and you cannot even access library during college hours. Every class has only one dedicated library period in the week.

The boys hostel remain inside the college only while the girls hostel is 15-20 kms away. The boys hostel is not very big and can provide a maximum of 200 students at a time while the girls hostel cannot even accommodate 50 girls at a time properly. The food is not very good but also not bad. The greatest disadvantage is that there is no other food junction nearby so most of the times students have to rely on hostel food only.

The alumni network is not a very large one and seniors hardly have any interaction with their juniors in the college. Also because of the fact that college is located very far away from the city nobody cares once the college gets over.

Every year is divided into two semesters. And each semester practicals and written examination is held by the university.The internal examination by the college consists of two sessional examination based on which the internals are calculated.

Faculty of the college is hard working, They are regular and most of the times wont miss a class unless necessary. In the recent past days the employee turnover has increased but most of the times the college runs with full faculty .
