Entrance Preview :
I gave OJEE and got around 300 rank in out state category. Based on my rank I got admission, through OJEE counselling. There was no interview. OJEE notification will be out around March end. I was sure I have to go for CSE branch. I joined silicon because of its GATE performance. I was sure that I had to give GATE exam, and Silicon, had a good reputation in this field. GATE 2010 AIR 1 CSE Arindam was from silicon. Hence, I was sure this college can give me ample opportunities to achieve my GATE dream. In addition to GATE, I had also heard that CSE branch is very good here.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I can only account for my branch CSE. I found the course curriculum to be good, mostly the syllabus is inline with the IITs, now I think it has changed. I can say about the course structure I had, but that would mostly be useless now, as the course structure has changed for the new batches from 2015.

Exam Structure :
Now, the exam structure has changed.I can only tell about what it was in my time.So, one lab session lasts for 3 hours. Labs are good, well equipped. Not with the latest equipment's, but sufficiently good.Exams were like we had two unit test, 15 marks each, and one final term of 70 marks. Lab marks were based on each lab session performance and final lab exam.
Admission :
Once the OJEE exam results are declared, in one or two weeks, the admission portal on OJEE website will open. In that I signed up, and filled up the required documents and other details. The results are announced around second week of may.Then I also had to fill my preferences, with respect to different colleges and branch. I filled up three choices, first CS at silicon, second ECE at silicon, and third CS at CV Raman.
Faculty :
I found CS faculties very good with their knowledge in the subject. They are very encouraging and helping. Explains the concepts, in a simple way. Are always approachable, offline for clearing doubts.They will always encourage students, who come with some ideas. Motivate students to aim high. Aim for CAT, GATE, IES etc. You can even approach, the Dean academics, or HODs of respective branch, fearlessly, and they will guide you well.
