Great cultural life and hostels, but poor placement opportunities.

Placements: Around 10-20% of students every year go for higher studies like M.Teach or other courses instead of sitting for placements. Only 2 or 3 companies visit the campus regularly. CodeClouds and Geotech are consistent recruiters, and we've had people make it into Cognizant, ISRO, and some other well-known organizations as well. If you're really skilled, you need to rely on off-campus drives to land a good job. The average package for those who do get placed is around 2.5-3.5 LPA. The highest we've seen recently from our department was 7.2 LPA, which was definitely a highlight.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are clean and are currently being renovated, which will make them better soon. Labs are all air-conditioned, though not every AC or machine works properly, which is typical of a government college. Still, the setup is fairly good. Hostel life is nice, with good food, though freshers might need to follow some courses initially. Since the hostel is also under renovation, conditions are improving. Overall, the infrastructure is a mix of good facilities and old systems, balancing comfort with the limitations of an old institution.

Faculty: The course structure at GCECT is well designed, though it may feel hectic for newcomers. Most students adapt within a semester or two, and many go on to score above 8.5 SGPA, with several achieving 9 or even 10. Since the college is autonomous and the faculty sets the papers, students can focus their studies according to their goals. Be it higher education or placements with smart preparation, two to three weeks of study is usually enough to score well. The only real challenge is the CLA, conducted by external examiners, which requires extra effort. Overall, academics are demanding yet manageable.

Other: Seniors are supportive, the crowd is welcoming, and students generally maintain a friendly atmosphere, even if occasional disagreements with teachers arise. They usually get resolved. On the downside, infrastructure could definitely improve, and the absence of a dedicated on-campus placement officer has hurt placement drives, especially for the CSE and IT departments. This remains the biggest drawback, as it has prevented real growth in placements over the past few years. Still, with active cultural activities and a vibrant student life, the campus offers a good experience. Though the placement gap overshadows it for technical branches.

The college is small, but I came for a degree and found a family here.

Placements: The college provides average placements in my department. The college provides decent placement opportunities with reputed companies visiting each year. The average placement package is satisfactory, with good support from the placement cell through training, workshops, and interview preparation.

Infrastructure: The college offers modern classrooms, well-equipped labs, a rich library, and digital facilities for effective learning. Hostels provide safe, clean, and comfortable living with Wi-Fi, nutritious food, and recreation, ensuring a balanced campus life.

Faculty: Autonomous college. Teachers are experienced and supportive, guiding students with practical insights. The curriculum is updated and industry-oriented. Exams are conducted fairly, with equal focus on theory and practical knowledge for overall student development.

Good if you only want a degree with minimum studying and less than 1% attendance.

Placements: As an IT undergraduate, I am only talking about the IT and CSE placements. Codeclouds, TCS, Capgemini, and Geotech come to campus. Generally, Geotech gives the highest salary Rs 45,000 per month. In the year 2023, only two students were placed at Geotech. 5-6 students are placed in Codeclouds, salary is Rs 30,000 per month. Moreover, every student has a good connection with seniors, and most of the time seniors or big brother give them a recommendation letter. College authority does not take any initiative to bring companies on campus. College has 50% placement in IT CSE but for Ceramic it is 100% placement.

Infrastructure: College has very poor Wi-Fi. No girls' hostel is present. Few male students can live in boys hostel. Classroom labs and library are very good. New boys hostel is being built. Canteen is not available. Canteen is only open when new admission students come. Hostel and mess food are available. Simply, you can not eat that. Medical, sports, and games are quite good.

Faculty: Teachers are very smart and well enough to guide students in their careers. They are very much knowledgeable. Curriculum is relevant, and college hosts many workshops to make students industry-ready. Everyone in this college gets above more than 8.5 CGPA. Semester exams are the easiest. You can pass it in 2 hours of studying.

Other: This college is still going in the name of Ceramic so Ceramic students get 100% placement whereas IT students find it difficult to get a job. You can barely see students on the campus. There is no 75% attendance criteria so after 2nd year students come to college only to attend lab classes. Every student gets a lot of free time to do their own things.

Good college if you are planning for higher studies.

Placements: In this college, Ceramic Technology has a 100% placement rate and for IT and CSE on campus placement rates are not high enough but most students get placed from off-campus. Top recruiting companies for IT and CSE are TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Accenture, etc. For Ceramic Technology, Saint Gobain Glass, Jindal South West Steel, and Tata Refractories are the top recruiters. The highest, lowest, and average packages are about 7.5 LPA, 3.5 LPA, and 4.8 LPA, respectively.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure looks not so bad but not so good either. Campus is not so big but still it is okay. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and library are also good. Hostel is small but construction is almost done in few months. The hostel will be even bigger. Hostel food is good. There are rooms for playing indoor games like chess, carrom, table tennis, etc. There are rooms for dance practice and playing music is also available. Cricket pitch, football ground, and badminton court are also available for sports.

Faculty: All teachers are well-qualified and experts in their fields. If not all most of them are friendly. The course is okay, it also prepares them for the industry but students must also learn some skills themselves to excel. Semester exams are not so difficult, practicing previous years' questions and learning the concepts is enough. Passing percentage is 50% separately in lab exams and written exams.

The college atmosphere is very good. The seniors are helpful and they guide you in every step .

Placements: The placement scenario at this college is good. The CTS students have more than 90% placement; the placement rates for CSE and IT students are 60–70%. The average package is around 555,000. Companies like TCS, Infosys, IBM, HCL, and Amazon are the biggest recruiters.

Infrastructure: The buildings of this college are old and not that big to catch your eye. But the library of this college is very big. The library has a vast number of books and you can have the books virtually as they are uploaded. The hostel is not that big but it has all the necessary things students need .

Faculty: The teachers are very good; they are highly qualified and they make extra efforts for us to understand the subjects. The courses are well developed and designed and they prepare the students for industry and life. The semester exams are not that difficult. If you attend classes, you could easily score good marks.
