Course Curriculum Overview
I was interested in CSE, and thus took the said course. Not sure, but I guess 1:40, All the faculty are well qualified and have completed their doctorate from reputed universities. Teaching method varies from teacher to teacher. Students should also give 100% to the teacher for effective learning. Once in three months, medium difficulty.
Internships Opportunities
SDE (Software Development Engineering) - DE SHAW, Salesforce, JP Morgan Chase. Many companies are coming as off-campus opportunities, which we are regularly informed of. Eg. Flipkart Grid, Cisco Code-a-thon.
Placement Experience
It depends on various branches, usually, it's from the 7th semester. I am still determining. DE SHAW came for 3rd-year internships but went without any offer. 40 LPA, it was off-campus Amazon, and Barclays offers. Almost everyone gets placed. There are some hard rules during placement season though. I will be determined to get a placement.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees vary from branch to branch. CSE has the highest fee among all. There are two main times of scholarships, Merit cum Means - people who need help in paying the fees, I guess it's for people with a 10 lpa income or less. Second, is Merit scholarship, purely on merit on various criteria.
