I cleared JEE Mains (86 percentile) and waited for JoSAA counselling. I didn't apply for many NITs and so didn't get admission in the selected NITs. I took repeaters course for JEE Advanced but got seat in this college through TNEA counselling. So I joined here as I wanted to study Chemical Engineering. My cutoff was 85.5
I didn't know about the curriculum at the time of admission. As a chemical engineer, we need knowledge on electrical devices and machines, biology, basic chemistry and physics, instrumentation, equipments in chemical process industries, ideas on process calculations, mathematics, C programming(for MATLAB), AutoCAD(designing), Aspen Plus, etc.... and the curriculum focuses on those things. Frequency of the exam is moderate. We have a lot of time to stduy and learn new concepts. The timings of internal exams are 2.5 hrs and end semester exams are 3hrs. The exams seems to be hard. It requires the student to apply every knowledge on the concept to answer the qns.
I do not know anything about companies offering internships. I've heard that seniors would attend internships in companies around their place of living. Seniors would complete their projects in companies or esteemed institutions like NITs or IITs.
The students are eligible for campus placements from 3rd year in the month of October. For chemical engineering, Asian paints, PETRONAS are some companies I remember. Last year 12companies visited and 20offers were made. Highest package: 12LPA and Average package: 6LPA. Students with no standing arrears are mandatory for placements and some companies want candidates with no history of arrears. Percentage of students getting placed is around 15%. I currently do not have any plans

Nakshtra - an event organised especially for 1st year students was conducted on May 9 and 10. A Hackathon(ChemEHack) is to be organised August 30. Most of the events will be conducted during the even semesters. There are enough books for us students to refer and learn. Students can access library till 7pm on working days with their ID card. Sports and extracurricular activities are considered as one credit mandatory courses. Many social groups and clubs are existing here. Eg: Dramatix club, Martial arts club, Rotaract club, NSS, Music club, etc
Faculty to student ratio would be approx 1:6 Most of the faculties are easy to approach in case of academics and career guidance. I don't have a favorite faculty as it may change with time. Most faculties are friendly. I like all faculties I've met. For a semester, there are two mid semester exams (internals) and an end semester exam. For lab sessions, 2 CAT exams. 70% of our class opted for their parents' sake. They didn't want to study this course, and they are uninterested in the subjects. 60% of our class has arrears. The course curriculum (2023 regulation) is very relevant to our course compared to the previous years
For from 7th sem students are allowed for campus placements Many companies like big baskets, nestle etc came to our college but they selected only limited students Mostly they provide 10LPA packs to 15LPA packs One in every five students gets their placements My plan is to pursue higher studies
