Remarks :
1. Affordable - 60k/year is less than the median fee charged by Indore's engineering colleges2. Brand Value - Aurobindo Group is a well known education group in Central India. They run the biggest private medical school as well of several institutions across horizons in the state.3. Unique facilities - At the time of taking admission here, this was the only college in Indore that had Microsoft Innovation Center, Intel Labs, Jio Creative Labs, Arena specialised animation lab all under one roof. Although MIC has now been replaced with AWS Academy.4. Not far from the main city - Most colleges in Indore are situated on the city's outskirts. This one was an exception and can easily be reached via multiple public transport means. There's a metro train line under construction there as well.5. Degree - This was one of the few colleges that were offering a B.Tech degree instead of B.E. - the course was practical throghout.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Student:teacher ratio I believe was 1:50 - which is far from good but still decent for an Indian engineering college. Teachers were generally timely, with a few exceptions. About half of the faculty, throughout my 7 semesters, wasn't much familiar with the subjects they were teaching. I don't blame this on them, since this was the first time the main university (RGPV) was offering a B.Tech course where multiple new subjects like Data Analytics, ML, Blockchain etc. were being introduced. Term exams were timely but your practical marks depended mostly on how good relationship you have with your teachers instead of how good you actually performed.Also, college management wasn't much cooperative about attendance. A lot of students were preparing for PG, CAT/GATE, PSU exams and all, but the college wouldn't shed out even an hour for them - forget about days. We were promised this during admissions, but they certainly didn't stood on their words.A major point is you are NOT allowed to do 6 month internships. Also, full time internships are a no go. This is a huge turnoff for a lot of students since bigger companies offer longer internships, even in NITs, they adjust a whole semester to let students do internships only. But since much of this is controlled by the parent university (RGPV), the college management doesn't have much in their hands.
Placement Experience :
As I previously wrote, there are no placement opportunities for civil, electronics, electrical and chemical engineering grads. The ones that exist are for computer science students. There are a few on campus drives that took place, salaries ranging between 2-4LPA. But as the overall quality of students is substandard, it results in most students not being able to clear even the prelims of these companies. Take ample time during 7th semester and focus on off campurs opportunities like TCS NQT, Codevita, HackWithInfy etc. Those will be your ONLY options of employment if you can't clear the counted number of oncampuses that take place here.PS: We saw the TPO change twice in a period of 3 years.
College Events :
The library has all the books you can ask for. Tech fests are organized once in 2 years, although ours could not be hosted due to COVID. Sports and extracurriculars are there provided students are doing well in studies already. There's a computer science club named AlgoSquad and is well known among Indore's tech circles - its website is algosquad.github.io. Overall, some students were mostly scholarship-based selects which resulted in the overall peer environment below satisfactory. A lot of students here aren't here to learn but to simply linger on. But, by final year, only merit prevails.
Fee Structure And Facilities :
- Their fee hike policy is remarkably good and their was not a single fee hike during my 4 years of engineering. Which is a huge plus.- Cost to study was also lucrative compared to peers.- Scholarships are give to SC, ST, OBC students. Although the college gets a lot of reserved students who did not made it via merit. Which overall takes a toll on whole batch's callibre and performance.- Financial assistance is provided to the point the institute works with financial entities that provide fee assistance in instalments.- No on campus opportunities for electronics folks. Some for computer science ones but do not expect anything crazy here.
Admission :
I did NOT face any group discussion, interview, or written test for the admission. I did NOT face any group discussion, interview, or written test for the admission. There were no such written tests, interview or GDs.
