- Zero Ragging. I mean it. Seniors are fairly chill. Roam the campus, visit the canteen, the library, it's all very peaceful. But also, no freshers.
- Most are nice. A few are not so nice. But all are supportive when it comes to providing good notes for exams.
Dislikes
- No freshers Should be self explanatory. But as first years we miss out on the most fun thing that all freshers expect for
- Try to attend those regularly. It's annoying how badly it can impact your cgpa of you miss a few of those.
Course Curriculum Overview :
1) The curriculum definitely aligns with MAKAUT as well as gate syllabus, so super relevant no matter how you look at it. For practical knowledge everyone has to go for YouTube and we are no exception. 2) Labs are conducted regularly and you have to take the reading yourself and do the calculations, graphs etc yourself only, so the curriculum prepares one well for real life. 3) I wish equipments were more in EE Lab. As it's hard to understand the concepts easily when 7-8 students are using one single equipment. This is not the case in Chem lab where almost everyone gets one equipment each. 4) EE lab exam is super hard. You have to do every experiment, circuit building alone and take the readings alone as well. The not-so-helpful classes before exam doesn't help much either. 5) Assignments and class tests are extremely frequent and as much as I hate them, I have to admit those are the only things that help me stay disciplined and consistent with my studies
Internships Opportunities :
Most internship opportunities available are bogus. Either you have to pay for the internship. Which no sane minded person would advise you to do. Or it's an unpaid labour so try to get one on your own from off campus from websites like linkedln or internshala. The college does have a collab with internshala so that's a good opportunity though.
Placement Experience :
From seventh semester or fourth year students are considered eleigible for campus placements. The placement is nothing exceptional to be honest. Especially for core branches. But if you are in circuital branches you can sit for both core as well as IT companies. Some of the regular companies visiting are, TCS, INFOSYS, ITC Infotech, Cognizant, IBM, Smartkid Education, Nineleaps technology etc. The average package for EE students would be approx around 3-4 lakhs at most. Many from core branches go for GATE, or government exams in engineering. My own plan is to go for a masters after this course or try for Central Government EE jobs
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Per year fees is 139000 INR. First year would be 171500, but rest years are 139000 INR. For annual income below 2.5 lakh per year, you would fall into TFW category and you don't have to pay any tuition fees. Just the hostel fees if you opt for it.
Campus Life :
1) No annual or technical festivals that are huge to be honest. But almost on every weekend you get plenty of events organised by the numerous clubs. Most branches also have their own magazines where you can publish your writings, poems, paintings etc. 2) A good range of books and journals are available. We have books for every branches in engineering, some good books for practical exams too which help us a lot. And racks of books in pure sciences too. Along with story books and scientific journals. 3) Basketball, football and cricket are the only sports available on campus. I wish badminton and table tennis were offered too but unfortunately they aren't. 4) Student run clubs for drama, coding, writing, debate etc are there, which you can join from second semester. Oh right, there's also an archery club. So that's fun too.
Admission :
I applied to plenty of state engineering colleges and only made it to UIT, BU which has awful facilities and a good ragging culture. So I opted out and went to a private college. Among private colleges, as far as I know, WB, IEM and Heritage are considered to be better. IEM's strict uniform code, zero campuses made me choose Heritage over IEM. The admission process is 1) Through West Bengal Joint counselling, which I went through, 2) Management Quota. Also, another reason why I picked Heritage over other private colleges is that it's fees is lower compared to other private colleges in west Bengal.
Faculty :
Faculty to student ratio is quite good actually. We have a total of 9 professors in first year, counting the lab technicians out of course. Faculties are well approachable regarding doubts, exams, study related matters etc. Some faculties don't teach so well, and that's the only reason why many don't like them. Exams are just the two end sem ones in first and second semester . But plenty, plenty of surprise tests which contribute to overall cgpa. No one really fails. But you have to study hard to get 8-9 CGPA which is important for placements or if you want to upgrade your branch.
Interview Experience :
No Group discussion, No interview, no tests. You just give West Bengal joint. Well unless you are rich and can afford management quota and go through the regular counselling process. The PI reporting is smooth and you get AC in the reporting room. A luxury to us cause no AC in classrooms and unless you sit right below the fan you won't even feel comfortable in summer
Night Life :
Nightlife Non existent for girls, you gotta get back inside your hostel before like 6 pm and give attendence even. Thankfully I didn't opt for it and went for a pg. The library closes at 8 pm. So if you aren't staying in hostel you can stay there, and even in the canteen which is great but way too crowdy so I don't like it there. No gym. This isn't some super-rich college like Amity.
