Peaceful sanctuary

Needs a lot of improvement in the domain of practical applications. Although we had several mini projects, self motivated projects should encouraged as a part curriculum.

COMED-K entrance exam. I had a rank of 5298.I chose this college because of it's fame and reputation. It is a very well established college.

The course structure is pretty intense. However, research is pretty laid back. Research is not carried out with vigor. The research in the domain of computational mechanics and fluid dynamics is very low. However, bio-diesel research and alternative fuel research was very good during the years 2010-2014.

The internship provided by the college is zilch. However, if you are able to get one for yourself, the college will support you. But this is the case with any college in India.

Numerous companies come for placements including mass recruiters like TCS, wipro and Infosys. Core companies for computer science, ECE and electrical also visit our college. The package varies from 3-9 lakhs per annum depending on the company and the branch of engineering.

There are generally branch technical fests for each individual branch like Momentum for Mechanical, technisium for the oft core branches etc. There used to be cultural fests like halcyon for the entire university as well. These provide a relief from the strenuous semester.

If you are admitted through Comed-K, the fee structure is very expensive amounting up to almost 1.5 lakhs per year. That is excluding the hostel fees. All together, it may cost you around 2,00,000 per year excluding your personal expenses. However, if you live off campus, it may be a little less expensive.

You can always avail a loan from any of the banks in your locality. If not, you can apply for a loan in the karnataka bank available on campus. Asfar as scholarships go, there are many available for localkarnataka students who's parents have income below 20,000 per year.

Campus life is good. The gender ratio is average.There are different clubs which encourage the holistic development of students including debate clubs, sports clubs, fitness clubs etc. However, some sports are pretty dormant in SIT which may need rejuvenation.

Hostel facilities were decent enough. The mess food was not bad. Especially the specials they made are not to be missed. These are given on saturdays and sundays. There used to be a TV in the mess so you can catch the cricket matches and other sports.

I did not know the alumni to contact. However, I suggest SIT should maintain list of alumnus and their whereabouts. This should be available for the current and prospective students to gauge the potential of studies in SIT.

There are generally 4-5 surprise quizzes in each semester. also we had two mid-term exams and a compensation exam in case anyone failed to take the exam. And at the end of the semester, there used to be an end semester exam. Each day individually was not a problem, however, the semester as a whole was pretty hectic.

I attended the counselling process in bangalore which is typically held after 1-2 months after the results have been declared. There is also a second round of counselling which is held but I would personally recommend not to go to it because SIT is a decent enough college. Especially for mechanical engineering.

The teachers are very energetic, jovial and enthusiastic. The professors are pretty knowledgeable and can answer all your queries. If they cannot, they would definitely get back to you in the next lecture. If you are interested in partying, this college has only very limited on-campus parties. This is college which focuses on academics more.
