Hemanth Kumar K's Review On AMC Engineering College - [AMC], Bangalore

With my college life experience it was good one to peruse my bachelors degree from AMCEC bangalore. The faculty was very friendly and supportive. diversity in the college campus was very good. There are few areas which college had to concentrate on like, developing soft skills for students much before placements. Cultural fest was good, college management can stress on technical side in the fest which was too good during our times.

I took CET exam from karnataka board and scored 10309 rank in the year 2009. I wanted to peruse my bachelors degree in Telecommunication.

Telecommunication course was very similar to electronics and communication. Syllabus would differ only in the last year and we would study about GSM and CDMA only a bit, definitely not up to industry standards but basic knowledge was very good. I am not very sure about current syllabus structure. If they have included new technologies such WCDMA and LTE, it will be more helpful.

I am not sure about the internship. None of my class mates had got internship rather not applied for it.

Since 2008/2009 was not a good year for placement only 5 to 6 companies came in, only hand full of them were selected. I don’t think anybody who were selected got the offer letter from the companies. Other than companies coming to our campus we were also guided for pool campus which used to happen in other colleges too.

Like all other colleges AMCEC was also having college fest in addition to it we had fest conducted by individual departments once in a year. We also used to take part in other college technical and cultural fests. Attendance was not an issue for the fest.

College fees was feasible during our times, I don’t have much idea about current fees structure. Annually we used to pay 35K (25k decided by CET committee and 10k was college fee). Hostel fees used to extra. I never opted for hostel so I don’t have much idea about its fees structures.

I had not opted for scholarship nor loan. But I know some people who had taken educational loan from nationalised banks and that was being initiated during CET counselling itself.

Overall, the campus was good. Gender ratios was well balanced (as usual mechanical department was an exception for this). We had very good diversity with respect to language, ethnicity. We had few workshops but they were not great. We had a cultural committees for each departments.

College was 20kms from my home place even though it was hectic some times to travel I used to manage it. I never stayed in hostel. I have seen hostel it was on twin sharing basis, don’t know exactly about the fees structure. Food from the mess was not good in the campus, lot of mess have come up around the college vicinity now.

Yes alumni network is very helpful, alumni network helps students for reference for jobs and also for guidance regarding further studies.

It was not very hectic for us, usually we had labs twice in a week for each student. The duration of lab classes were 3 hrs. Regrading the exams, we used to have 3 internals in which 2 was mandatory 3rd one was optional in order maintain the average, we used to have 1 internal exam for lab.

Faculty was not that great but they were descent in teaching, only a few of them had industrial experience. Only a few of them were doing PHD in a particular stream, they were good in teaching. Very of them were still doing M.tech and were also helping the teaching staff in offloading their work.
