Fun filled journey with a lot of learning.

The college management is pretty good, and if you are interested in focusing on a course with least distractions this is a good place to go to. The location is such that there is not much scope to be distracted and you can focus on your studies. However, if your interest is in research then its up to you to put an effort and get those papers published.

I took the Karnataka CET entrance test, I got a rank of 3679 and was sure about the course i wanted to take, i.e Electronics and Communication Engineering. I was looking at the best college that I could get into with this rank. Now BMSIT has placements alongside of BMSCE, so that was one of the major reasons why I chose this college. With a fairly good rank, if you want a good course (ECE which is usually quite hard to get in), and a college with a good reputation ( which has a major role to play during placements) this is a good place to go to.

Now BMSIT comes under the VTU curriculum. The focus is usually on understanding concepts clearly, but as with all other universities it is usually up to you to decide how much effort you want to put into research. The course structure is mostly focused on a good balance between labs and classes. I personally found the VTU curriculum very hectic but if you go out of your way to put an effort for research you should be good.

No, BMSIT does not provide internship and there's no part of the course where you are able to do an internship along side your course as well. I never did an internship, we have no semester dedicated for this purpose as some other universities have.

Some of the companies that came to our campus were Tata Elexsi, Delphi Automotive, Bosch, Oracle Financial solutions, NTT data FA insurance systems, etc. The packages being offered were in the range of 3.5lakhs per annum. Some companies offered more (like delphi offered 5lpa). But the average was 3.5lpa. This was when I was graduating, but I've heard there are better placements as of today.

We had one major college fest, Utsaha, and this would be quite big. Other than our college fest, we had some minor department fests. A lot of talks were organized in college though so you'd get an opportunity to attend a lot of seminars and workshops.

The fee structure depends on the entrance exam you took to get in, the fee structure is different for CET, COMEDK. The CET fees is definitely affordable. The COMEDK fee would work out to be a bit expensive but thats the case with most COMEDK fees. any university with a comedk seat would be around the same range.

I'm aware of a scholarship program that is offered for CET students with a good ranking, where you can avail a certain amount every semester. For this you need to apply in the first semester.

The gender ratio is pretty normal, 4:1 (boy: girl). There are no student parties as such, except the freshers party which is organized by the seniors in that batch. There are quite a few robotics and other workshops conducted and there is a lot of diversity and tolerance. Everyone is treated equally well and I never saw any problem in this domain.

I did not stay in the hostel, but I have had an opportunity to visit and the facilities are definitely good enough. However I havent heard very good things about the mess food. Had an opportunity to eat there once and it wasn't so great. I've also heard the boys hostel is pretty strict. And it is right next to the campus, so you dont have to worry about travelling.

The alumni network is kept well informed and also have a platform for keeping in touch. The students are helpful and you can get in touch with the alumni association very easily.

The labs and courses were quite frequent and mostly hectic. But once yours done with classes its mostly chilled out. You only have to study and cram before the exams/ tests. The tests were monthly, i.e internals so if you prepared for them you were mostly all caught up for the exams.

During the CET counselling I chose my college, following which I went to see the college and obtain the admission forms. There was a deadline for the payment of fees so I managed to fill all the forms and pay the fees. The process was pretty straightforward. Once you get an admission you usually know what to do by just checking the college website or visiting the college.

The faculty is usually very supportive and for the courses which I took (Analog Electronic Circuits, Microprocessors, Digital Signal Processing, Microcontrollers) there is plenty of opportunity for research. Many faculty are also pursuing their Phd and hence there are many opportunities to contribute and support their research. All the faculty are qualified to teach well. Its only upto you how you want to manage your time to get the best outcome.
