A Place where I learnt the ropes of life

Vasavi college of engineering is very good interms of faculty, extra curricular activities and a good place to learn the ropes of engineering education.

EAMCET is the entrance test one has to take to get in to this college. Reputation of college being Top tier private engg college and placements are the 2 factors which I weighed in before selecting this college. I got 6000+ rank in EAMCET and got in to this college.

Course curriculum was decided by the Osmania University board as the VCE is affiliated to the OU. And curriculum is on par with other universities. Most of the advanced topics are covered, but in few of the courses, it was not revamped from past few years as on 2004.

There is no formal summer internship process during 2004. We used to do two types of projects. 1) Industry visit which used to for 15 days time where we were guided by the senior professor to the various industries(related to the Engg.background) where we used to learn the various fundas being implemented in practice. 2) Another one is college project which is upto the students to find out the mentor/professor under which they have to complete the project as per the guidelines. Most of the students used to do the projects under the guidance of senior professors.

All of the leading companies used to visit the college during campus placements. College used to arrange for an extra coaching classes for the students to ace the aptitude tests of the IT companies. These coupled with the inputs from seniors plays a major role during placements.

Euphoria is one the celebrated college fests across the Hyderabad. There used to tech paper presentations, competitions, music and fun used to take place during this time.

Fee Structure in 2000-04 was Rs. 35,000 per year if the student is opted for payment seat. Rs 5,000 per year, if it was free seat. ( these details might not be applicable now)

Some of the students used to get the state government sponsored scholarships based on their economic background.

Various technical workshops for the students from electrical, mechanical, computers and electronics backgrounds used to take place the college. These workshops used to fill the knowledge gaps. Students used to take active participation in conducting various cultural festivals in the college.

This is not a residential college so hostel facilities is not applicable here. However outstation students wants to get in to college have a good options in and around the college as college is situated in Golconda, Hyderabad which is pretty near to Hitech City, Appa junction, Langer house which have various hostels, PG options for the people based on their budget.

Since college was established in early 1980's, it has very huge and active alumni network. Most of the guys established themselves in senior roles in various fields which an important factor as college tries to establish regular contacts with them.

Exams and Labs were conducted at the regular intervals. Space between the exams is ample so the students can think back about positives and shortcomings and work towards achieve the goals.

Faculty of core engineering subjects were top notch. Few of the lecturers were having industry experience coupled with years of teaching experience. Visiting faculty used to bring outside perspective to the table and it was enriching experience to listen to them.
