Honest Review of Medi-Caps University

The course curriculum is relevant enough and covers all the topics and important aspects of Computer Science Engineering. It is a private and self-certified college and is widely known for the Computer Science branches. I chose CSE branch because I always wanted to be a software engineer as I loved to code and solve complex computer programming problems. It included main computer engineering subjects like Computer Systems Arhitecture, Data Structures and Desgining of Algorithms. Also, I developed an interest in Machine Learning and AI. So the course curriculum helped well. There is no complaints in the courses and their curriculum. However, the faculty and staff members are avaerage to teach these subjects. They have lack of knowledge and practical experience. So students, themselves have to learn on their own.

An internship is an essential requirement in the seventh semester. For this, the college offers in-house training and intership opportunities. I took my internship at CISCO as a networking engineer. It was provided by the college. However, all the in-house trainings and internships do not provide stipends. The other in-house internships were in AWS, Palo-Alto, Blueprism and AI/ML technologies provided by University itself. The University also helps the students to grab off-campus internship oppportunities through letter of recommendation. Worthy students also carried out off-campus internships at big tech giants like Apple and Amazon also at stipends of one lakh per month. These internships and training experiences are required for a subject called Project Work-I in seventh semester. Students also build their own projects and applications by utilising the engineering knowledge they gained during the course of three years. Some of the faculties are also very willing to help them.

The placement rate is the most advantageous as the University claims hundred percent placements. It is not fully true. Almost all the students get placed in well-known companies. Students are eligible for campus placements in the seventh semester. A lot of companies visit the college including big giants like Capegemini, TCS, Cisco, Hexaware, etc. Startups also offer placements in the University. The highest package was given b y Cisco at 18 LPA and thebaverage packages are of 4 LPA. For the students who were not able to get placed, the Univerity provides a list of off-campus companies for their Internship experience and later full-time jobs. So, the Training and Placement Cell works actively to bring out the best of the placements in the college. I secured my placement at Bacancy Software at a package of 5.5 LPA in Hyderabad. So, students are satisfied with the placement rates and a very few students do not get the jobs. For them, college makes extra efforts to bring good opportunity.

The total tuition fee was under five lakh rupees. It is average fee as almost every good engineering colleges charge atleast this much amount. Since, Medi-Caps Univerisity is good for placements and jobs, this amount is justified well. The other necessary charges include exam fees, service fees and hostel charges also. I was a day scholar at the University. The scholarships and financial aids include the general government scholarship programmes like the Medhavi scholarships or the mpportal scholarships for the special castes. There are only private scholarship options left for the general caste like the Cummins scholarship. Their forms get forwarded in the first year itself. There is no as such financial aid programmes provided by the University itself. The placements after the four years are commendable and justify the money completely. The big tech giants like Cisco, TCS and Capegemini hire students and offer good packages. The average packages offered by other companies is 4 LPA.

The University is poor in fests and programmes. There is only one annual day program called the Moonstone which is commenced once a year for three days. The other fests and programs are very limited. Some of them are for only hostelites and only members of a special club. The library is rich in all the books and stuff. It is a three storey building and there is zero complaints for the college library. The campus and the college infrastructure is also well developed and feels worth. Though there are little complaints on the facilities like poor internet availability and electricity issues in the labs and classes. However, the computer labs and classes are sufficient and enough for every student to learn. There are sports clubs, entreprener clubs, cultural clubs for extra-curricular activities but they are not known much because there are limited interactions within the clubs. So, the social life of students is fair in the campus due to limited co-curricular activites and fields.

I took admission in Medi-Caps University in 2020. During the admission time, there was Covid-19 pandemic and at that time, I had the relaxation to directly take the admission in the college. There were no extrance exams to get direct admission. However, admission was seeked directly into the college on the basis of school academics and the board exams result. In order to get the admission into Computer Science Engineering stream, the eligibility criteria was kept simple. Students can seek the admission if they have their pass certificates in the board exams. There was no as such percentile criteria for JEE exam also. The application form was available in the college and they charged about 2000 rupees for the form. So, the admission process was kept simple. At present, there are a lot of students already availed in the courses and that causes the early fulfillment of seats. Also, the seats are increased as triple the previous number. So, admission process is a bit tough.
