Looking forward

AIEEE, scored well, got admission in reputed college which was located in Chandigarh. Wanted to pursue Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

The course covered various topics from Electrical Machinery to Power System Analysis (Computer Aided) to Electrical Measurement equipments etc. Well thought of though a bit too much to be covered in such a short duration of time.

For my branch, most of the students have interned every year. For the 8th semester, the stipend offered varies from Rs 20000 to nothing .Most of the companies that came for EEE were not core but KPOs. Branches like CSE AND IT gain an advantage there.

Most of the students do end up getting placed. CSE and IT branches get a lot of Core companies while the other branches don't. Hence Most of those students go into consultancy or startups. The TPC was well managed this time so there was an influx of good companies. Packages MUST be improved if companies want students to stick to their companies for longer periods.

A lot of events are held in the college, from technical events like aarambh, to the annual efficycle, aavishkaar, etc. While technical events are very good, cultural events lack creativity and are basically an excuse for a few days off from campus. Events held by various committees like Rotaract UIET are well planned and well executed so participation in those was generally enjoyable.

Since the college was not centralised, the fee was high, about 70k per annum. In addition to this were additional costs of upto 2k for each semester examination we give, which was completely unnecessary. Fee was expensive and facilities provided were definitely not upto standard.

College itself provided scholarships to students who were worthy. Other than that, students who wrote papers for IEEE were given grants. Lastly, people from lower economic class were given relaxation in fee after they produced the necessary documents to avail these.

Gender Ratio is not well balanced as more male students were there.Was a localite so cannot comment on hostel parties.Workshops were good though could have been more intensive and exhaustive than they were.Politics was enjoyable as PU elections are a great way to get to know seniors and learn about all the parties.Economic standard was mostly middle class to upper middle class.

Alumni has been generally very helpful, from assisting us regarding career options as well as going the extra mile in providing us internships. Most of us attended our second year internship with one of the alumni only, her startup providing us with ample knowledge to understand practicality of various instruments and equipments.

We had two sets of minor exams, practicals for almost all subjects and then final exams, each semester. Hence during the exam days, it was quite hectic. Especially near the end as the minors, practical exams and finals come all together all of a sudden.

Permanent faculty was experienced and taught well.No guest lecturers were there unfortunately.Temporary teachers were not good. Requirement of more teaching aids and practicals could have made the standard of teacher exponentially more than what was there.
