Entrance Preview
The admission to Engineering colleges in J&K is made through JKCET entrance examination. I also got admission through same procedure where in I managed to score 102 marks. I wanted to pursue Engineering in ECE branch and the best engineering college in Jammu based on placements which offered ECE was this college.
Course Curriculum Overview
The college was affiliated to University of Jammu and therefore followed the curriculum proposed by them. It was old and was not up to dated.Most of the current subjects like VLSI, Embedded during that time were not part of curriculum. Though College tie ups with top universities and companies did gave us the required skill set required in the industry.
Internships Opportunities
The College was just four years old when we joined and struggled to establish contact with the companies. We were infact lucky as by the time we required assistance it had establish links with major companies. Our entire batch got the internship assistance in major telecos. The stipend part however was missing.
Placement Experience
The placements could be termed as average with most of the students getting offer letter in the range of 2.5-3 LPA. The college couldn't get the students placed in some big companies at higher pay package. The companies which visited our campus during that time included Stayam, Infosys, L&T, Mytas, Hindustan Construction, Canon.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fee structure was very affordable as it was the lowest in the entire north India.With annual fee structure of 28000 per year it gave an affordable opportunity to the students of the region to pursue their engineering degree.
Fees and Financial Aid
The College used to offer annual scholarship of Rs 10000 to 12 students based on merit and means. It was named on the owners of the institution. I could't avail any of the scholarship which was offered as couldn't comply with the guidelines.
Campus Life
It was one of the best college in terms of the campus life. We had everything in the campus required for a beautiful campus life. Lush green lawns, canteen, sitting area, open theaters it made for picturesque campus.The competitions like debate, conference had their own charm which encouraged competition among students and gave them opportunity to explore their hidden talents.
Alumni/Alumna
The College was connected to the alumni network and had a full fledged IT portal to connect all alumni's. We had regular interactions with alumni during "Meet the alumni" guest lecture series. We also had different alumni forums like "alumni mentorship programme" under which alumni used to mentor some students who were put under them.
Exam Structure
The exams and labs was a monthly affair which included sessionals, lab test and finally examination after every six months. There used to be 12 sessionals, 4 lab test and 6 final examination which was a very tough scenario to be in.
Faculty
The quality of the standard except few faculty members was below the quality standards. They recruited freshers who were merely out of the college and hence were not able to do the required justice with the subjects which otherwise required in depth analysis.
