There's a criteria of minimum 65% in pcm aggregate. And even after crossing the criteria, you need to appear in the mrnet exam or the jee mains. If you have appeared in these exams and fail to qualify for admission, there's an interview round too. Like in my case, my co curricular in the cse branch were amazing for them. I knew about python coding for oop and a bit of aiml and dbms. So they do make some exceptions but its rare.
In the span of a semester we have 3 class tests, 1 mid sem, 1 end sem and numerous random quizes that influence our internal marks. Timings of the exams are rock solid, they do not change. Dates are like that too. Syllabus usually gets completed before the end term. And we have no issues with the exam's material as every thing is provided in the class.
Tcs, infosys, xebia are some companies that i have heard of, in which students from our college are getting internships and pre placement offers in. There are in campus internships too, but they revolve around the premise of teaching and research based.
I'm a second year student as of now, so I haven't really been able to experience the placement season. But as per my peers, students have been able to get internships and some have even gotten a pre placement offer.
The cost of our course, BTech CSE (CORE) is 2,38,000 as of now. I personally think that this price is fair enough with respect to the features that we get. We get subscriptions to the necessary applications, we can get student discounts on apps like spotify and amazon, we have the whole campus covered with the wifi facility and much more. Besides the material value, we also get supportive teschers that are with you if you wanna excel in academics or go with a start up. Not to forget the amazing anti ragging culture here. And alternatives such as emis and scholarships are available for students who are not comfortable with the payments.
Student life here is amazing. Because of many clubs and friendly seniors, anyone and every one can have a good time here. We even get a time specifically allotted for mini events that are held by different societies. I personally think that these mini events and societies help a lot in forming a great relationship with your seniors and batchmates. Overall the campus life is pretty good.
Teachers are fairly approachable in the beginning of the classes and at the end of it. Teachers are well qualified and bear the tag of doctorates. As I previously said, we have tutorial classes in which we interact with the teachers and solve our queries. Every week we have a mentor-mentee session in which we can discuss our personal as well as educational problems with our mentor. Although teaching is quite easy going, assignment submission dates are really strict.
