Madhav Sharma's Review On Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University - [SMVDU], Katra

1.I opted this as it offers my field of interest Computer Science and Engineering. And there's no way I could get CSE at any NITs,based upon my score. 2.It is also within my state.So, location was also motivating factor to join this university. 3.Its Campus maybe one of beautiful among other institutions.

Course Curriculum Overview: Course Structure and Curriculum is taken same as IIT Delhi. Same minors, majors pattern. There's not a burden of studies as such. You get plentiful of time to spend on your hobby or you can join various clubs like coding clubs, music club,dance and theatre club etc. Exams can be headache if you don't attend classes regularly. Also, exam datesheet can be worrisome sometimes. Two minors a day. During majors, either 3 day holiday in consecutive exams or no holiday at all. Faculties: Since this university is a young university. So, with time quality of faculty can be improved. I must say rely mostly on self-study. However,you will get full support from your faculties. And mostly the university faculty is young and dynamic and they are ready to help you.

The placement are not as good as it should be due the place of the location of the campus. Even though some of the MNC like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and other companies come for the campus drive and many of the students are sent for off-campus drive for various companies all over India.

Events: Titiksha : Technical Fest. Resurgence : Cultural Fest. Sarang : Sports Fest. Also various events, workshops and regular talks and conferences are organised in the college by the student's Union and the faculty. Campus Life: Labs are scheduled and works fine. We get all facilities. Infrastructure of labs and workshops is good.Almost all popular sports are played here. You can join various clubs like music,dance, photography,theatre etc.

Scholarship depends upon your JEE rank. Rank < 30,000 : No Tution fee for 5 semesters. 30,000 < Rank < 50,000 : No Tution fee for 4 semesters. 50,000 < Rank < 100,000 : No Tution fee for 3 semesters. Condition given that, you must maintain minimum 7. 5 CGPA with no backlogs.

Infrastructure of University is very great. The classrooms, lecturehalls, labs and faculty offices are fully furnished with state-of-the-art technology. You can play any popular sports here. And accessories are provided by them. You can be all of your academic books from Library. But I would like University to add more non-academic titles also.

There are 3 girls hostels and 6 boys hostels. Hostel rooms are doublet for 1st and 2nd year afterwards singlet room having fans. Bathrooms have geysers and showers. Every day sanitization is done to ensure good hygiene and cleanliness in and around the hostels.
