Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, Sivakasi - Reviews

Mepco Schlenk is a strict disciplinarian college. Life at the college is miserable and it’s all about surviving there. Grave importance is given to id-cards, attendance, black shoes (compulsory for every student), and maintenance of classroom decorum. The college has installed phone booths so that students can communicate with their parents at any given time. 

The faculty is amazing, along with this the college provides the students with the best resources like lab facilities, library access, etc. For relaxation purposes, they have a well-maintained gym, a ground, an indoor stadium, and an auditorium as well.

There are a few pointers which the students need to remember throughout their academic session –

• The conversation between boys and girls is not allowed.
• The college has the right to suspend students in the case of broken rules.
• CCTV cameras are installed throughout the campus even in the classrooms.
• Marking impression on teachers is prevalent among the students.
• The placement rate is 90% (According to 2020 statistics)
• Mobile phones are banned within the campus, hostel included.

Major Drawbacks

• You can participate in presentations and tech workshops only if you have scored 7.5 CGPA and above. The rest of the students are not allowed to take part in these events.
• The college authority assumes a monarchial stature in decision-makings which means it is not open for discussion or changes.
• The placement rate is considerate, but there is a drawback- if you are selected by a company, then you won’t be allowed to sit for the interviews for another company that comes afterward.
• You will be constantly pressurized if you have any backlog, regarding your performance, by the faculty, staff, and fellow mates as well.
• Delay in time is unacceptable, if the student is late for five minutes then they will be marked absent for that entire period.

However, the college is not built solely on bad attributes, there are some good features as well such as -

• The campus is extremely safe for the girl students with watchmen appointed at every two blocks.
• The quality of food is good and the drinking water supplied is purified and fit for use by the students.
• The convention center is ginormous, as big as the Nehru stadium.
• The anti-ragging policy is implemented seriously.
• The infrastructure is great, with well-equipped labs.

It is a very good college in terms of academia and high placement rates. However, the final choice depends on the person who is considering to opt for this college. All the best for your future.
