A journey worth sharing

I had enrolled on ACE Engineering College as I got this college through TS EAMCET counselling. I applied for many such as Chaitanya Bharati Institute of Technology and many other but my rank wasn't that much so as to get those colleges. Coming to quota, I belong to the General category so there wasn't any such reimbursement and I got it through counselling. The admission criteria were based on TS EAMCET rank, Class 12 marks and to some extent Class 10 marks as well. Yes, there was counselling for me. First I applied for this college in counselling and after that, I visited ACE Engineering college to submit my certificates after getting this college in counselling.

I chose this course which is Computer Science and Engineering because I had an interest in coding and wanted to become a Software Engineer. The faculty here are very friendly and helpful whenever students seek their help. The faculty understands their students. The faculty are well-qualified professors like Khaleel Ur Rah man Sir teaches here, he taught us subjects like Operating System and Design and Analysis of Algorithms. The faculty here are highly qualified. The term exams are yearly twice. The students have to prepare for them very well.

Cognizant, Wiley Mthree, Cisco and many such companies offer internships for assistant technical associate engineers, networking engineers. There are many projects along with mini projects and major projects that come along with the curriculum. There are many projects done on Github.

From the 6th semester onwards students are eligible for placements but the training and from 3rd the semester itself. TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Accenture, Cisco, Hitachi, Byjus and many other companies. The average package is around 3.5 LPA and the highest package is around 6.5 LPA to 7 LPA. 75% of students are getting placed approximately. My plan is to work in the company in which is got placed.

For our batch the fees were 68000/- and now it got increased to 91000/- approximately. The bus fee is around 21000/-. Students get fees reimbursement based on their caste. But, if you belong to the General category then you have to pay the complete fees. There are quite good job opportunities available but mostly expect off-campus jobs. I got job offers in TCS with a stipend of 3.36 LPA, Cognizant with a stipend of 4 LPA.

There are not many fests and programs as such in our college. We had fest only once in our four years that too in the third year. I don't expect many fests. The library is quite good and there is nice availability of books. There are enough amenities in every classroom and every classroom is of the same kind. As said in point one, there are not many sports and extracurricular activities for students in our college. But there are programs related to academics. Few students are part of NSS in our class.
