BMS College of Engineering

no more seats @ bms

Telecom is similar to ECE except for few subjects in the higher semesters. The faculty is pretty strict . The dept. focuses more on open ended experiments and mini projects. You have to be regular and sincere to score good marks.Number of companies do visit and recruit students (assured placements) but the pay scale is less initially. there is a better scope if you pursue higher studies abroad or look for a job abroad.
Companies that visit ; National Instruments, Deloitte, Fidelity, Robert Bosch, HP (RND), Accenture, WIPRO, IBM, Thorogood Associates, Fractal Analytics, etc.

In Telecommunication branch, Profs. are very strict unlike ECE. They stress more upon open ended projects and mini projects.
Syllabus is more or less same as ECE but few changes in higher semesters.
Overall, it's good.
Regarding placements, good number of core companies visit the campus every year.
You need to know any programming language for IT companies.

I have no idea about food canteen, but regarding placements, it has got a very good record.

No, there's nothing like that. It depends. It's worth is based on your priorities. If you are totally interested in Mechanical, then I'd suggest you to take up ME in RNSIT or BNMIT or any other college for that matter. But, if you have a heart for management, then I would suggest you to take up IEM. However, there is a lot of advantage in getting into an autonomous college rather than a VTU college with regard to syllabus and the amount of holidays you get. Holidays are important as you can do many internships which adds a lot of value to your resume. So yes, it all depends on where your interest lies and what your goals are.
