Dr. NGPIT makes a student highly knowledgeable.
Placements: Dr. NGPIT placements, especially for our course, are tremendous. Calling it good would be an understatement, as I see my seniors from close quarters, and most of them are placed in the range of 8–10 LPA. Microsoft and Infosys are among some of the top recruiters visiting our campus.
Infrastructure: Boys' hostels and girls' hostels are off-campus, but they are at a walkable distance from our college. It is a beautiful campus full of academic blocks and nice open areas. There is one main canteen and one small canteen, which gives students multiple choices for meals. For sports, too, there are multiple choices, making the competition very competitive not just in academics, but in sports as well.
Faculty: The main reason for choosing this course is that my father is an engineer and he tells me the time ahead is for AI. I see this as well, and therefore all our faculty members too are well-updated with full knowledge of advanced AI. Exams and even internal tests are hard to score in here.
Other: Facilities and student clubs are all available, but academic pressure hardly gives us time to find room for our personal interests.

Dr. N.G.P.I.T has the best resources in terms of faculty members and student hostels.
Placements: Advanced AI roles and other roles were offered to students who pursued AI at Dr. NGPIT. I graduated this year and saw some of the best placements that the college has ever offered. From Infosys, TCS, Amazon, and Microsoft, many such firms came for placements. Most students were placed in these companies' Chennai offices.
Infrastructure: There were five blocks, A to E. A Block was where our classes were held. The girls' hostel was off campus but just a 5-minute walk from the campus. Good food and good rooms were the best features of our hostels. The 6 PM curfew was the only issue. Otherwise, the college infrastructure and hostel facilities at Dr. NGPIT were all top-class.
Faculty: Most, or rather over 90%, of faculty members were from the home state, and thus the language issue never became a challenge. We could ask them questions in the local language, and because they were familiar with the language, they would reply accordingly. Exams here were really tough, as there were multiple exams per semester.
Other: Flash Mob and Kanam were the two main events of our college.

My experience in this college.
Placements: Placement opportunities were quite nice, and internship fairs were held regularly. The college had a properly functioning placement cell which organized regular seminars and guest lectures to give students direction. Companies like Wipro, TCS, Tata, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and Amazon provided a lot better placement offers to students, offering an average package range of 3 – 4.5 LPA, while the highest package was 22 – 35 LPA, companies conducted interview sessions, practical tests, and group discussions for the selection of students, selecting them based on their performance, knowledge, and experience. Additionally, companies offered internship opportunities to those who were willing to gain experience.
Infrastructure: The hostel was completely facilitated with free Wi-Fi. There was ample space provided, and the rooms were dual-sharing with separate washroom facilities for each room. The mess was pure vegetarian, offering 3 meals a day, and the quality of food offered was satisfactory.
Faculty: The faculty of the college was a team of skilled professionals in their respective fields, and those teaching were very experienced and had completed Ph.Ds in their respective fields. Most of the teachers were very good at elaborating the toughest of topics with ease. The teachers were also friendly, always ready to clear our doubts, and were always ready to help students. They followed a semester system, organizing two semesters each year. Each semester was divided into internal as well as external exams; internals were of 40 marks and externals were of 60 marks. The course curriculum of the MBA programme was designed to give students an overview of the use of management in global scenarios and top industries. The faculty members of the institute were super talented and knowledgeable. They adopted various techniques to teach course concepts, which were clear, understandable, and explicit.

Pretty average college. There are some better options too.
Placements: Fewer than 25 students get placed, and the placement situation is pretty average. I don't see any students getting placed through the college. It is up to your own efforts to get placed. The teaching is good, but placements are bad. I don't see any top companies recruiting students from here.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, but the hostel is very bad. Hostel students usually complain a lot, and the canteen is the worst. The prices in the canteen are very high and not fair at all, so I would prefer avoiding the hostel and canteen. You can consider a PG or a room instead.
Faculty: When it comes to teaching, it is very good. Most of the teachers are friendly and good. They teach understandably. Exams are conducted with partiality. The semester exams are not that tough. It is an autonomous college, and the papers are easy to clear.
Other: Events are conducted twice or thrice a year.

GCT always builds responsible and ethical people.
Placements: It was an amazing experience at GCT. It was the right choice for my future in human resources. Many students got placed in well-reputed companies, and I was also placed in a company. I was very happy to share my review of this college.
Infrastructure: They provided all facilities, like Wi-Fi, a digital library, and neat classrooms, which gave students new opportunities to build their careers. It was a big campus. The college was not only suitable for MBA students, but many engineers also built their careers there. Many software engineers graduated from Gnanamani College, so I was really proud to have been a student there.
Faculty: Professors were very knowledgeable and supportive in helping me build my career. The staff helped me build my self-confidence. They were truly amazing teachers, especially our Nagaraj Sir. He was very supportive and helped me complete my studies and achieve a good score. I was thankful to the entire team.

Life at Kongu Engineering College feels like heaven, but we need to follow certain decorum.
Placements: We achieved 100% placements in 2025–2026. Currently, 60% of students from the 2026–2027 batch have been placed. The average package is around 5 LPA. The highest package is 26 LPA. Companies such as Presidio, Trimble, Solliton, and TCS visit for placements. Students are placed in roles such as Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer.
Infrastructure: The college facilities are excellent, with Wi-Fi available across the entire campus. All labs have ACs, and every classroom is equipped with smart boards. When it comes to the hostel, the food is above average. However, it can feel repetitive because of the regular routine. Overall, the college offers a better campus life, excellent sports ground facilities, lovely faculty members, and groundsmen who take good care of the grounds.
Faculty: Our teachers perform well globally through conferences, workshops, and other academic activities. The curriculum is also designed to cover what a CSE engineer needs to know before entering the industry. Since we are an autonomous college, the question papers are set by our own faculty members. The exams are not that tough, and if we study well, we can pass them.
