Peeyush Singhal's Review On Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University - [SMVDU], Katra

I took admission via AIEEE and my rank was 33874.I opted for this college because no other alternative was present.

The course curriculum seemed very interesting when it was assigned to us but later on we felt lags in the system. The teaching standards were not up to the mark and extra curriculum activities were not given any importance. Practical knowledge given was very less and entire syllabus was not even covered.

Yes, internship opportunities are provided in bharat scooter limited, hcl, hydroelectric power plant in jammu. Their is no stipend provided.

Placement record is not very good. most of the students are placed in TCS irrespective of their streams. No other company approaches for mechanical engineering placement. For cs there are some other companies like orange solutions, infosys. As for MBA the placement record is also not good and just a few company approaches.

There are multiple fests organized in college. The tech fest is called titiksha and takes place in the month of November. It is a 2 day fest which attract many nearby colleges. The cultural fest is known as resurgence and continues for a month. it begins in February. MBA fest is called tatva.

The fees structure is on the upper side i.e. the total fees per annum is rs 2,00,000. annual mess fee amounts to rs 30000 and hostel fees is rs 25000. the balance is the annual academic fees.An amount of rs 10,000 is deposited initially as the security deposit.

I have not availed any scholarship till date but top 5% students of every class are provided with a 30% fees scholarship.

Hostel is quit good as compared to any government college hostel. The rooms are quit big in size with clean corridors and bathrooms. Utilities provided in the room are also adequate. The mess food is satisfying and better than any other mess. As being pure vegetarian no provision for non-veg is there.

As of current the alumni network of the college is quit weak. A number of measures are needed to be taken to connect the alumnis. The alumni try to help in any way they can.

The exam structure is a chilled out one. The labs are also few in number. In a semester you got 2 minors and 1 major. Minors take place at a gap of 1 month and the major occurs at the end of semester. Each minor carry a weight age of 20% and major got weightage of 50%. The lab takes place every week for 2 hours.

I got admission in the spot round of AIEEE 2012 via ccb counselling. A day was assigned to submit the original documents in the college. After the documents and fees submission we were immediately allotted the rooms and given our curriculum. Internal sliding takes place when the admission process is over and the left over seats are filled by Jammu students by filling a form.

The faculty is the negative part of the college. Most of the faculty is new and lack experience in teaching. Only basic topics are taught and the higher level portions are skipped. Very little practical knowledge is provided during the whole course. The faculty even lacks in taking any initiative for organizing any event. The final projects given are mostly waste of time.
