SLIET Longowal review

I was interested in core branches and mechanical engineering was the best choice for me. Faculty members are highly qualified, some of them did their PhD from IITs as well. The college has around 3000 students from all disciplines including PhD students and there are around 300 faculties to manage them. Exams are held every month here that is minor I and minor II, and end semester exam there are quizzes in between as well.

Students from the second year onwards go for internships in their respective industries for 2-4 weeks which is organised by the college itself. And students in the third year like quite a few have interned in DRDO and ISRO With handsome stipends and this is for students who get 9 cgpa.

Students from the 7th semester become eligible for placement. Quite a few companies have visited the campus and recruited students from different disciplines, companies like JSW, L&T, IOL, etc have visited this year for placement. The highest placement is from off campus which was 32 lacs, bagged by CSE students. Last year JSW offered 13 lacs to a student from mechanical design which was the highest from the same branch. Chemical branch students also get placed in numbers.

Fees for a year's degree are 3,11000 (tuition and hostel) then 2700 -2800 monthly mess fees. Few students from each discipline get tuition fee waivers based on jee main ranking. There is another scholarship as well for poor students from each discipline, where they get assistance in paying tuition fees.

Campus Life is so good here. We have a cultural fest called Madhuram every year which is conducted in October. There is a tech fest as well which is conducted in April every year. Each fest has its chief guest who is a prominent face in their field. We get 3-5 books from the book bank each semester for free, which should be returned at the end of the semester. There are proper sports grounds for each sport indoor and outdoor. We have around 40 clubs in total for every field, a few examples: Endeavour for robotics, Sviesa for photography and media, Navarasa for drama, etc.

All students getting admission to this institute get a hostel room which is triple sharing for the first 3 years, in the final year we get a single room. The mess here has different menus for each day and the quality is decent not overly good not very poor. At the time of admission, we get our rooms assigned.

My admission to the BE degree course was made on the basis of Jee's main exam, through josaa and csab counseling. I am in the mechanical department and its cutoff for the general category was around the 80 percentile. CSE cutoffs for a general candidate was around 92-93 %tile.
