Is Panimalar Engineering College good?

If you're planning to attend this college, there are certain things you need to know to survive. While the food and some good faculty members can be helpful, they are quite rare. However, here are some things that you may need to endure:

• Strict Rules: The college has a strict rule against any talk of the opposite sex, even if it's about your siblings or relatives. You can expect to face severe consequences if you violate this rule.
• Formal Dress Code: The dress code is formal for boys, and girls are not allowed to wear leggings or any modern dressing styles.
• Poor Quality of Teaching: The quality of teaching in this college is highly poor. You may pass the exams and even secure a good grade with the notes they provide, but the knowledge you gain is minimal.
• No Respect for Human Rights: All forms of human rights are thrown out the window. If you have a beard, you will face discrimination and may be ostracized.
• No Value for Student Curiosity: The college does not value student curiosity or enthusiasm. You may find yourself struggling to find opportunities to explore your interests.
• Industrial Visits for Namesake: Industrial visits are just for the sake of it, and you may not gain any real-world knowledge or experience.
• Symposium and Conferences for Namesake: The same applies to symposiums and conferences. They are only conducted for the sake of it and may not be beneficial in terms of learning.
• Co-education for Namesake: The college claims to be co-educational, but in reality, it may not be. You may not find many opportunities for interaction with the opposite gender.
• No Scope for Research: Research opportunities are minimal, and you may find yourself redoing existing projects repeatedly, which can be pointless.

In summary, while you may get an engineering degree in your respective field, you may not be able to become an engineer inside this campus.

According to my friends studying at this college, there are both advantages and disadvantages attached to it. So let us look at these and then decide if it is worth something or not. 

Advantages - 

• The facilities of the college are appreciable. 
• Good quality food is served including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea time. 
• Hostel rooms are cleaned and well ventilated along with the cupboards. 
• The library is full of books and the faculty provides the notes preparing for exams. 
• Also, you can avail yourself of bus facilities that cover most parts of the city. 
• Most importantly the toppers of departments are rewarded with cash prizes.

Disadvantages - 

• Since you are spoon-fed in college you don't develop your thinking skills and this hampers your overall growth and performance. 
• There are no extra-curricular activities involved. 
• You are not allowed to take your mobile phones, if you want to talk to your parents or guardians, you have to talk through a landline. 
• The placement cell is not very active, for getting recruited in some company you should be excellent in all your skills. 
• Moreover, the interaction between girls and boys is strictly prohibited.

So through overall analysis, we can say that besides providing good quality education to students, the atmosphere for learning is not very appreciable
