B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering - Batch of 2026

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Review of Government College of Technology (GCT).

Placements: Placements at our college are quite low compared to the pre-pandemic years, and also the core companies are not showing much interest. 65% of students get placed. The highest package offered is 19 LPA by Texas Instruments, and the minimum package is 3 LPA. Internships are provided by the government and are also paid. In government, only 20% of students are selected. VLSI is the top role offered in our course.

Infrastructure: Since ours is a government college, so the infrastructure is not up to the mark. Our college has a good library, a little poor Wi-Fi connection, and pretty good labs. The quality of the food is okay for the amount they quote. Our college has the cheapest hostel and mess fees. It has a large ground, indoor stadium, and medical center. Moreover, all games are available here.

Faculty: Teachers of GCT are well-qualified and knowledgeable, while some staff members are not. Their teaching is pretty nice and understandable. The course curriculum is outdated, and it does not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are quite different, and the pass percentage will be an average of 80%.

Satisfied because of the good placement in 2025 and the low fee.

Placements: In the year 2024 batch, about 75% of students were placed in core and IT companies in the electronics and instrumentation engineering department. In the year 2025 batch, about 80% of students were placed in core and IT companies in the electronics and instrumentation Engineering department. The highest package is 32 LPA. The average package is 10 LPA. The lowest package is 3 LPA.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable in the electronics and instrumentation engineering department. The student's pass percentage is about 94% in our class batch of 2027 till this 4th semester. Semester exam questions are very different and moderate. Corrections are also very strict.

Good placements with the highest salary package. I'm satisfied with my college and campus life.

Placements: The placement percentage varies from year to year. And it will be above 60 percent. The highest package is about 13.5 LPA and the lowest package is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Sobha Construction Dubai, TAFe, Hyundai, etc. 100 percent of students are getting internships from the course and in companies like TVS training and services, Chennai. Quality engineer, sales. Etc. are the roles offered in companies.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available even at the hostel and on college premises. The infrastructure is old and well-maintained at the college premises. And a new hostel is opened this year. The laboratories have all machines and engines and the staff allows students to learn from them. The library is available with all books including foreign authors and local authors. The quality of food is decent in the hostel mess and canteen. The medical facilities are also available within college named dispensary where government doctors used to visit regularly on an hourly basis. Talking about sports, students are very great at making efforts.

Faculty: The teachers and professors are very well qualified helpful and friendly to learn new things every day. The teaching quality is good. Curriculum-relevant courses are there. It will make students, industry-ready. The semester exams are quite difficult, especially problematic papers. The pass percentage is above 80 percent every semester.

Other: I'm passing out batch 2025 and I'm currently placed in a company with the highest package. The things to improve is to make students get trained in new technology to update themselves. There are many events conducted by the college clubs and the campus crowd was great and motivating. The college is well known for its club culture and has more than 30 clubs to do with extracurricular activities.

The best part of my life. It has given me more friends and knowledge and how to survive in society.

Placements: In IT, 100% of students were placed. TCS and Cognizant selected more students. Package will vary based on role, up to 4-7 LPA. Analysts, developers, and testers are they selected. In internships, fewer students are only interested. Zifo is the main company for biotechnology students.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are okay. Wi-Fi and library are also available. But fewer lab facilities are there. Hostel rooms were also okay but the food was average. In college, a canteen is available. Medical facilities are also available. In sports, there is a lot of exposure. People who are interested in sports will definitely help you as much as you need.

Faculty: The faculty members and students bond very well and are comfortable. They are easily available to help you with whatever you need. Actually, this course will help you in the medical industry. Semester exams are also not that complicated. Pass percentage is based on the first mark.

Other: In my course, you will learn hands-on experience. It will be helpful in the lab industry.

Decent college for engineering.

Placements: The placement here is about 60-70%, and the highest package is 32 LPA this year, and the average package is 5 LPA, and I have no idea about the minimum package. Some of the well-known companies like Walmart, Tata, etc. come to recruit students for their company. And students from CSE, ECE, IBT, IT, and EEE had the highest placement.

Infrastructure: The hostel has no Wi-Fi, and the infrastructure is also not very well maintained. The walls have all gotten old, and the washrooms and toilets are not that clean. The college facilities are quite good; the classrooms are big enough, and the staff are also very warm and welcoming. If I had to talk about sports, then it's average when it comes to sports, and the mess and canteen food are not so good for our health.

Faculty: Teachers are very well qualified, and the teaching quality is above average. Within four years the students are mentally and physically prepared for their life, and the 2 and 3 years are the toughest for most of the students. The pass percentage is 50%, which is not very difficult for an average student to pass.

Other: The hostel infrastructure and food of the hostel should be changed and improved.
