Vishal Kumar's Review On Dr. T. Thimmaiah Institute Of Technology - [DRTTIT], Kolar

I took COMED-K entrance exam, My rank was 19000. I wanted to go for the computer science branch, and with my rank, this was the best available option. Moreover, had heard a few good feedbacks about this college from a couple of relatives whose kids have studied from the same college.

The curicullar was just fine, however, due to "not very good and experienced" teachers, I felt a lack of proper guidance. We had Operation Research and Micro controller as the option subjects.

The college did not provide internship to any of the branches. If you have contacts, and can arrange one for yourself, you luck, however, more than 95 percent of the students did not get any internship opportunities from the college.

Campus recruitments from the college was just ok. below are the list of companies that visited the campus during my final year, along with the packages they offered : Infosys : 3.25 LPA - hired 25 students(approx), Emphasis : 3.25 LPA (Hired 6-7 students approx), Tech Mahindra : 3.07 LPA (Hired 8 students-I was one of them).

There were very few celebrations in the college, and I feel the celebrations were not at par with the other colleges of bangalore . We had an annual day celebration of 3 days in the month of march-april, known as the gold rush. First two days were quiz, exhibition, and all study related stuff, and last day was all fun with music and dance.

Since the college is located in a remote city around 90 kms from bangalore, the fee structure was reasonable compared to its counterparts in Bangalore. CS,IS and ECE branches were Rs.90000 per annum, and other branches(mech, EEE, mining) we Rs 75000 per annum. Apart from these, there were additional miscellaneous charges of approx 20000 per annum in the name of facilities, exam fee, etc.

There was no scholarship or loan facility offered by the college, or atleast I am not aware of any such facility with the college.

Diversity ration was quite reasonable, the remote location of the college. We had students from different parts of India, however, there was no foreign student in the college. Gender diversity was low, as we had approx 7-8 female students in every branch with strength 70-76 students. There were no cultural activities apart from the couple of them I mentioned above.

There were total 7 subjects and 2 labs each semester, and we had three internal exams of 25 marks each subject. An average of best 2 of these 3 internals was taken into consideration. Pass marks was 15. Apart from this, there was one external exam every semester for 100 marks. So total marks obtained was out of 125.

Few of the professors were really experienced and good, however, most of the faculty was inexperienced and a disaster. The placements were not that good, and hence, they used to hire their own students completing studies, as faculty members.
