The improvement of personality and communication of an individual.

Placements: More than 75 percent of students are placed. 25 percent of students are placed in IT sector and the rest are in the core. Out of 65 student 55 are placed. The highest package is 19 LPA, the lowest is around 4 LPA, and the median is 8 LPA. Roles offered are Data analytics, Business analytics, Operations Manager, and Supply Chain.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present in and around campus with a speed of 5 Mbps. Labs are not up to the mark which means they do not meet industry standards. The library is well-maintained, a suitable space for studying, with a lot of books present. The quality of the mess food is okay. 2 canteens are present.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough to hold Ph.D. degree. The teachers make the student understand until the student understands. The portion of the syllabus is very vast. The passing percentage is 40 percent. You have to learn other skills to be industry-ready side by side.

Overall, a student can have a good engineering college experience.

Placements: Placements at RVCE were the best of all the colleges in Bangalore. The placement department started offering students internship and full-time employment opportunities after the completion of the 4th semester itself, which was unlike in other colleges. The top recruiting companies included Texas Instruments, Siemens, AT&T, Microsoft, etc. The highest package was 56 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostels were pretty good but not top-notch, medium level. The classrooms and lecture halls were well-maintained, along with labs and libraries. The college offered Wi-Fi at specific locations, such as the hostel and the libraries. The mess and canteens provided decent and essential snacks and foods, and sports facilities were also maintained.

Faculty: You'll find some of the teachers really helpful with subject matter and doubts, but most of them just tend to finish courses early with strict attendance. Most of the teachers were behind in completing the syllabus before the exams. You can find some teachers who really solved doubts related to the subject, otherwise, you’ll be asked to refer to the books from the library.

Other: Overall, the best of all engineering colleges in Bangalore, and you'll find knowledge, wisdom, and fun here.

Placement-oriented excellence of RVCE.

Placements: Almost every student is placed, unless we are drowning in backlogs. Microsoft, AMD, Walmart, etc., are top recruiting companies, and they do take up a good number of students. FTEs and internships are offered frequently, which makes it a top college in all standards.

Infrastructure: There is no good infrastructure since many buildings are being built as of now, making it very cluttered. Otherwise, the campus has potential that is being reduced to rubble. It does not have the best campus. It is below average and remarkable at best. The canteen is pretty good.

Faculty: Teachers are useless and can't teach anything. They are not even aware of teaching, which is kind of shameful considering it's an engineering college. Faculty members are not up to the mark. They are extremely egotistical and keep bugging us for no reason.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified and knowledgeable to teach us. The teaching method was also good and easy to understand the deep concept. The course curriculum was relevant.

The good things in RV College of Engineering.

Placements: Around 90% of the students get placed in this college. I have heard that the highest package for this year is 64.5LPA. Many students get placed in top companies like Amazon, Google, etc. Even the students are selected through other curriculum activities, like event management and other activities. This college also helps to improve other skills.

Infrastructure: Faculty members support a lot of your ideas and interests. The classrooms are the best, and we will get all the basic needs required for our studies. We can join sports, and we can attend the interview college sports. I like the hostel food varieties here.

Faculty: Faculty members are available anytime here. The skills we require for industries are trained by the faculty members. We will get all the facilities and training required for our placements and all. We can even expose our ideas to the technical events with the help of our faculty members.

Other: I wanted to choose AIDS, but it's not available in this college. Because of the placement and college popularity, I chose this course based on my interest only. The fests are amazing here; we can enjoy the fests in both technical and cultural aspects.

R.V. College of Engineering review as of 2025.

Placements: The placements are good. Around 70 percent of students got placed in EC and the mean and median can be checked from the RVCE vertical which gets updated every year. The average package is 18 LPA and the median is 17 LPA. The highest package is 36 LPA and the lowest is 5.5 LPA. Top recruiters would be Texas Instruments.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are school-type, labs are good though, hostel rooms are very good but the mess depends on your taste. If you are from the North, they make sambaar, rice, and rasam every day be it lunch or dinner. The breakfast is good especially the Sunday dosa. Sports and medical facilities are nonexistent.

Faculty: Teachers are above average I would say. The course is good. The curriculum is updated every 5 years so for now we are studying the newest syllabus. The semester exams are doable in the first year. 98 percent of students passed. The main thing is EL it carries around 140 marks and it's basically a group project per semester.
