B Penchala Gunadeep's Review On JNTUH College Of Engineering, Hyderabad

My overall experience in my college was very good. We had a very good time in the college whether it came to academics or extra curricular activities, also finally the placements. I have no regrets to have studied in this college and I feel content with my college life.

EAMCET. I secured 3604 state rank, I chose this college as it was one of the top engineering colleges of the state.

The course curriculum was good. We had very good labs where we could actually have a hands on experience on most of the topics we had. Regarding the research we had very good professors to guide us with the topics and help us accordingly. People who had interest in research had resources and oppurtunities to pursue them, though they were not at their best.

No, our college didn't provide any internship. But I heard that our juniors had the chance to do internship with one or two companies.

The placements during my time were very good, that almost every one got placed. Some of the companies are Microsoft, JP Morgan, Pega Systems, United online, Deloitte, TCS, Wipro, Accenture etc. The average package of would lie between 4-5 LPA. There were some core companies too for the Mechanical and Civil engineering students.

We used to have 6 specifications in our college and each of them had a technical event of its own, conducted in either Jan or Feb of every year. This is used to be a technical event where we used to have many events like paper presentation, robotics labs and training sessions. The event used to last for 2 days and people from different parts of the state would come to attend it. The events will be sponsored by different companies whom we used to contact and also, our Alumnus used to help us.

As the college was a government run institute, the fee structure was very feasible. We had a fee of 10,000 rs per year which was the lowest in any college in our state. Apart from that we had to pay the hostel fee if we were to stay in the hostel. We didn't had any other fee and all the other expenses like lab equipment etc used to be handled by the college itself.

Yes, we had a number of scholarships that were offered by the government that the students availed based on their intermediate marks. But I'm sure those were not just available to our college but to all the students over the state.

The gender ration in the college was maintained as per the then rules in our state, where 33% female ratio was maintained. The extracurricular activities were also very good in our college, especially sports. We had good ground and we almost had some sport event or the other for every 2 months. We also had very good training sessions being held during the technical events held.

I cannot say the hostel facilities were very good, but they were decent. The food was also just ok. The rooms were very good though. We actually had a new building for both the boys and girls hostels individually. The maintenance was also good. The hostel rooms would be 2 or 3 sharing. We never had any issues with the water or electricity. Also, we had broadband internet (highspeed). The fee for the hostel was around 9,000 rs per year in my first year and increased to 12,000 rs in my final year.

We have a good network to keep in touch with the passed outs of our college. We actually have a committee in our college who keeps track of them. Each branch(specification) will have the details of the students of their own too. We generally used to have an alumnus meeting during the technical event held in Jan or Feb of every month.

We had a well planned exam structure, with proper schedule for the labs and exams. We used to have the exams at regular intervals to keep the syllabus on track. At times the schedule used to be a little hectic, but we were able to manage it. But the schedule would always be notified to us prior to the actual date so that we were prepared for that.

We had a counselling where we will be given options to select 5 colleges and specifications based on the EAMCET rank. The counselling was held in Hyderabad and I attended it and selected JNTUHCEH as my option 1. The seat I selected was available and so did I get the admission into this college.

The faculty was very good, we had professors who were highly qualified and very good at teaching. I can say that we had the best faculty than most of the colleges in our state during that time. Apart from the professors we used to have some guest lecturers from different colleges who were enthusiastic in teaching.
