MIET, Jammu

The MIET college is one the best colleges in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Everyone knows about it and they have made a good name for themselves. The infrastructure and the campus are very good and very big, surrounded by trees and nature all around. One negative thing that I would like to mention is that the college lies on the outskirts of the town and it takes time to reach their and the local transport facility to reach there is kind of average.

The course curriculum is quite good. This college is one of the oldest and the best college in the Jammu and Kashmir. A lot of emphasis is laid on practical aspects and not just theoretical. The exam structure is standard and is same for all engineering colleges associated with Jammu University.

The MIET college is probably the best in J&K in terms of the placements and job opportunities. A lot of companies have a tie up with the college and they come to the campus every year to give job opportunities to the worthy students.

There are a lot of social and sporting events that are organized by the college every year. The one most popular event is the annual fest organized every year. The fest organized by MIET college is the best among all other colleges in J&K and everyone, even students from other colleges wait for thier fest every year.

The fee structure is neither feasible nor expensive. I got in through JKCET counselling process and my fee was around 55,000 rupees per year without hostel facilities. Although, If you get in by taking a payment seat, that is direct entry without any entrance test, then the fee is way more than that. Its almost double and is around 90,000 a year.

I do not know of any such scholarships or loans that are providied by the college. But I do know about this scholarship for the reservation students, that is SC, ST, OBC, provided by the social welfare office. A lot of students availed that scholarship and got back the tuition fee part of the fee structure every year.

There are not a lot of extracurricular activities in the college. The students are mostly concerned with their studies. But there are a few functions and celebrations on teachers day every year. The labs are quite good in this college. They are all well equipped and students can really strengthen their skills by doing various practicals in these labs.

I did not opt for the hostel because I live here in Jammu but I have seen the hostel provided by the college. It is not that good. Its like average and the infrastructure is not too big either. The reason behind that is students dont often opt for hostel in Jammu and would rather choose to stay on rent or as a paying guest.

The seniors are generally very friendly and helping. They will help you and guide you with their experience in the college. There is no serious trouble of ragging in the campus but there are a few seniors always who would always try to be the bad guys but its fine. I guess every college has that.

The faculty is very good. Almost all the teachers are experienced in their fields and have been teaching there for years now. Although there are some new teachers coming in who are not as good as expected from this college.
