BSA CRESCENT, THE BRUTAL TRUTH

My reason for choosing the course was that demand of Computer and IT professionals in the market. Talented proffesionals in this field can earn lucrative salaries. The Curriculum is quite updated, it starts off with the basics and foundationals and as you progress some of he new-gen technologies are also being taught. The teaching methods though, not so much. We are asked to write observations and records and which no serve no real purpose, and are truly a wasteof time, time that couldve been spent doing something more prodcutive.

Placements are offered by the college. Students can sit for placements in the 7th semester onwards. Anyone with no standing arrears can usually sit for placements. But few companies have their own cgpa criteria. Some of the companies that visit are Amazon, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Lennox, General motors etc. The roles offered are usually SDE1, Software Trainee, Associate Software developer, and Junior Software Engineer. THe median/averaege package is 3.5LPA and the highest is 8Lpa. The percentage of students placed is 60%(from the eligible pool of students). I plan on sitting for placements and hopefully getting placed.

I pay 1,50,000 rupees per-year. the fee structure depends on your average marks of math, physics, and chemistry. If the before-mentioned cutoff marks exceeds 80, the fees you pay is 1,20,000; if cutoff more than 90 the fees only comes out to 80000 per-year. there's also an additional 35,000 that we ought to pay as admission fees once at the start of the course. the exam fees are charged every semester and their cost is depends on the courses. On average, they come out to 3500 per-semester. scholarships are available to low-income students that maintain gpa of more than 8.5. the fee structure has changed since i joined. New fee slabs have been introduced. 60+ and 70+ cut-off marks with new fee divisions, but they gotten more expensive.

Orion is the annual college cultural fest and it happens the feburary of every year. Arcane and Icon are two of the technical fests are also held annually. Academia related books and journals are available in the library, fiction not so much. There are smartboards and projectors inside of the classrooms. the college is decent when it comes to sports. we have good football team that win tournaments every once in a while. there are also teams in other sports like kabbadi, volleyball, basketball that take part in their fair share of college tournaments. there are plently of student-run clubs that cater to different interests. they have help you fidn your niche in college.

The affordability combined with the half-decent nirf ranking is what made me want to choose this college. One of the ther college i got admission from is Satyabama, which i didnt go through with is partly becuase of how strict the college is, and also because it is slightly more expensive than Crescent. Hindustan and KCG are some of the other i didn't go through with, the reason being their lower nirf rankings. I wasn't rejected from any of the colleges because i only applied to colleges i had a realistic chance of getting in. BS Abdur Rahman has it's own entrance examinations which are conducted 3 times. They dont determine your fees structure, but they do determine the course/department you get. the better you perform at the entrance exam, the more likely you are you get the course of your choosing. As as far as difficulty is concerned, its ranges from moderate-easy.

The quantity of the faculties is more than i was expecting. Even though, I not being of them, found it easy to approach them. I won't be naming the faculties for privacy reasons. but i do like a few of them, for their funny, kind personalities. Like most colleges there are also bad apples. These few are draconian, bigoted, and so full of themselves. the internal exams are conducted once every one-and-half months. they carry 50% of the weightage. The are usually quite easy. A week's prepartion and 90%+ is almost guarenteed. There are also students who fail in the internal exams, they range anywhere from 4 to 20 depending on the subject. The other 50% is for the end-semester examinations.

the "night-life" is not at all what this i college is known for. the curfews at the hostels are strict. There's gym inside the college that is available to students after 4.10, there are 3 cafeterias inside the college which are good hangout spots. The campus timing, as in when the college gets over is, 4.30pm. the hosel timing is around 7.30pm. There are a few famous fastfood chains close to the college like Dominos, KFC.
