Remarks
The admission was done through an exam called COMEDK which consists of various engineering colleges in Karnataka. For RVCE ECE the cutoff was around 1600 with approx 50000 students appearing for the exam. The application form can be easily found on the comedk website.
Course Curriculum Overview
Ece in rvce is one of the oldest branches with an average package of around 13-14 lakh. My interest in ECE was well accepted in the college and since it had a good alumni network, I decided to join this course. Since the college is in Bangalore City, the student ratio is also around 1:3(F:M) and in some branches around 1:2(M:F). There are a lot of exams here compared to other colleges. We had 3 internal assessment exams before the first semester. The level of questions was decent and can be passed by attending classes regularly. The faculty here are qualified enough. The teaching method is good with some exceptions as you would expect from all colleges in India. A lot of importance is given to Experiential learning and projects from 1st year itself which is a good factor.
Internships Opportunities
Students get internships with stipends of around 50-75k or even better. Under the new education policy, even the first years have to go through 1 month of compulsory internship (unpaid). Various companies such as Microsoft offer ppo too.
Placement Experience
Students here start to get internships by the end of the second year and most are placed by the end of the third year. All the major companies like Goldman Sachs, Mercedes Benz, Microsoft, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, etc. visit for campus placements. The average package offered in ECE was around 13-14 lakh this year with most of the students getting placed. People here plan for abroad, master, ,MBA or continuing their jobs after graduation.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure is different for both kcet and comedk students, kcet students enjoy the benefit of reservation with a fee of 8lakh in total approximately while comedk students have 14 lakh. There are various scholarships for economically weaker sections as well. Internships are provided on and off campus. There are recent talks of providing internships(unpaid) in the first year itself under the new education policy.
Campus Life
The fests here are amazing. The recent fest in June had guests like Aman dhattarwal, Raj shamani etc. It was organized by the E -cell of rvce as an entrepreneurship summit but it also had 2 DJ nights with sunburn onboard. Rvce also had a once in 2 years fest called 8th mile. The library here is huge with 3 floors and almost all the books needed for the course and research. Labs and classrooms are well equipped with modern equipment though the buildings are a bit old. Right now Rvce is going through a construction phase due to which the indoor basketball court and tennis court had to be demolished. Other than that a sports complex with table tennis and badminton court is present. The clubs here are very active. Most of them are car building and racing clubs but there are also clubs for debating, drama, singing, fashion, aerospace/drones, coding, robotics, etc.
