Remarks :
Everything overall is good about YCCE except for the high intake. The college has the highest intake in th whole Maharashtra state. Now when too many students get crammed up in the same campus, or the same classroom, there is somehow some impact on the ov
Entrance Preview :
I had appeared for JEE mains 2013 examination but my score wasn't not good enough to get me admission to any premier institutes like the NITs. So I appeared for the Maharashtra state MT-CET exam, the same year and got a score of 127 out of 200. With that score I opted for YCCE and purposefully mechanical engineering because I came to know from acquaintances and from internet reviews that the senior faculty here is the best in vidarbha region. I dwell from Nagpur itself and so I gave preference to YCCE mechanical in the CAP round form.
Course Curriculum Overview :
YCCE is an autonomous institute affiliated to RTM Nagpur University and has its own distinct curriculum tailor made by the faculty members and the advisory board members(faculty from IITs and universities abroad) of the college especially for students belonging to moderate IQ level and at the same time adding value to the degree. We have free elective subjects from 6th semester which are interdisciplinary and professional electives in the 7th & 8th semester which are related to our trade. Overall the curriculum lands in between that of the university colleges (RTMNU) and that of IITs/NITs.
Internships Opportunities :
No internships were granted as such to the students by the college. One has to arrange for internships on his own through acquaintances and friends' network. Rather industrial visits are organised and it is in the curriculum as a subject with credits in the 3rd semester itself. Also students with good academic record get a chance to visit BARC, MUMBAI, in the final year.

Placement record is quite good especially in the IT sector companies. Every year approximately 50 (IT + core) companies visit the campus. TCS being the major recruiter has selected 193 students alone this year (2015-16). Till now a total of 397 students have been placed in various IT companies like TCS, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra and others.
