Course Curriculum Overview:
Ichoosed b.tech mech because i like to get more physical strain and pratical knowledge on real life problems. the institute is having research parks and many starttup tech teams .all the e-cell and many tech teams which are quite intresting.
Likes
- The opportunities provided by the institute to develop our skills
- The diverse community inside a small forest in the middle of the city
Dislikes
- The hostel and mess system being unfair in some ways
- The politics inside the institutes elections
Course Curriculum Overview:
Usually, the way everyone chooses their degree is based on the package. Computer science had the highest amount of money but it wasn't something that I found interesting and you can learn that stuff any time in life. It's not easy to survive Electrical without any interest in it. So my next option was Mechanical and I did not find any issues with it. The Mechanical professors go in-depth and give us a lot of assignments, lab sessions, and projects to make sure we understand all the concepts properly. But it does make the course more time consuming and difficult. Each semester is four months and Quiz 1 is at the end of the first month, Quiz 2 at the end of the second and End Semester exam in the end.
Likes
- The campus itself and the clubs to engage.
- Wildlife in the campus. Deers and cats are the best part of the campus.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The curriculum typically offers a comprehensive coverage of the topics of fundamental principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, material science, manufacturing processes, and other relevant subjects. The curriculum often includes laboratory exercises, design projects, internships, and practical training components, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. The curriculum should have more of mechatronics part. The curriculum is often designed in consultation with industry experts to ensure that it meets the current and future needs.
Likes
- Technical and cultural Fest which are held in institute.
- Our campus is surrounded with forest area, but it is good in mornings we can feel fresh air.
Dislikes
- As it is forest area monkeys will be disturbing us.
- As Im living in chennai the climate is too hot so this afternoon classes will be boring
Course Curriculum Overview:
I rate my course 9.5 / 10 because professors teach us every thing by using applications which we are using in the college. there will be many labs for every sem and also workshops related to our course the things we learn in class can be seen in labs and workshops. The difficulty of exams are moderate it will be easy to person who will complete there syllabus in time.
Likes
- The thing I liked most is the environment in the campus, campus is full of trees and animals, it gives very natural feel, as it is very greenery i like the environment of my campus
- Another thing i like is the festivals In our campus . We have saarang as our cultural festival in which they organize many events .Another festival is Shastra which is Technical festival where many students present their project model
Dislikes
- Another thing is some irrelevant courses in my academics , there are just theory based courses which has no use in further life.
- Another thing i didn't like is politics which affects more during the selections of any sports team , like the who is selector selects the people whom they know rather than who is capable.
Course Curriculum Overview:
Course curriculum is quite good. We have relevant courses those are related to our courses . Many of my mentors who helped me to crack JEE suggested me this course . Mechanical engineering is all rounded course . We can go to any sector from this so job opportunities are more. In few courses they teach us about the how machines work and how the things are really made. These are very useful courses in further academic pursuits. There should be improvement in courses of earlier semesters like some are not so relevant. Teachers should give more time in class and in students We have our semester exams in 3 steps Quiz 1 , Quiz 2 and then end semester exam . So exams are not hectic if a guy regurly attend classes and do studies on daily basis .
Likes
- Campus environment is pretty good as it is situated in a national park. We have deers and a lot of wildlife.
- We have a lot of facilities for entertainment inside our campus at low cost like restaurants and even movie screenings.
Dislikes
- Monkeys stealing our food all the time. Restaurants and cafes need to be protected from monkeys.
- Hygiene of our hostels should be better.
Course Curriculum Overview:
Our course is pretty organised. We are taught by our professors in an organised manner. We have weekly tutorial tests which help in revision and also have monthly quizzes. So we have Quiz1, Quiz2 and end sems. I ended up choosing mechanical engineering because it was my preference after cs and electrical engineering. Also it is a pretty old branch and has lots of prospects. This branch is pretty useful in real world due to its vast applications in almost every field. I am mostly interested in the robotics field of it. The teaching methods of some professors could be better if they show more enthusiasm. They need to make the class more interesting.
Likes
- Center for innovation. This is the place where all the clubs work and research on various technical projects
- Shaastra is the technical feat. There are many great workshops and competitions here which are knowledge transfer in some or the other way.
Dislikes
- Election process is very problematic. Students face issues here with that
Course Curriculum Overview:
The course structure is very apt to the current day use. It is very well structured and practical. They have made it more research oriented. Some of the courses can be updated. Many courses are currently getting updated accordingly to the current day usage. Exams will be conducted once in a month. 2 quizzes and one endsem is held for every course. These exams help students to stay in track and analyse their position in the course. They give a way to get better in the course.
Likes
- I liked where we are having many clubs like Ibot and CFI where we can do projects and include ourselves which can help in our resumes for internships and placements. I included in some of the hostel run posts named general secretary.
- We are having New academic complex and Student activity center.
Dislikes
- The things I disliked in the messes were not clean.
- Monkeys attacking on students who were carrying food or any other items.
Course Curriculum Overview:
I aimed to join IIT and this influenced me to work hard and finally achieved it. In my campus, students can connect to outer world through alumini and can learn as per their stream irrespective of their stream. We are having 2 quizes and 1 midsem and 1 endsem.
Likes
- Greenery in campus is absolutely amazing. one of the best campus in india. with different animals and good culture
- You can choose any course you like and work according to that even professors help you to choose course
Dislikes
- Some hostel needs upgradatin but they are working on it
Course Curriculum Overview:
Courses are really relevant as they keep updating the syllabus with time and industry standards. some professors are one of the best in their field and they are the one who are making the field forward. some professors do lack their teaching but you have to consider that they are here to research not to teach but if you have a hunger for knowledge. you can easily get a project if you want and work under best in the field and you can learn the newest things in the industry. you have a wonderful choice of courses and you can choose them according to your interests.

Cources are good only but there are some cources that I don't generally like for example - applied thermodynamics , main problems are professor basically . I think some xhanges should be done considering requirements and demands of student.
