Best and supportive faculty.

Perks of being a KMKCPite.

Placements: 30 to 40% students get campus placements. The highest package offered is 35 INR per month and the lowest is 25 INR thousand per month. Top recruiting companies are HDFC BANK, ICICI BANK, IQVIA and many more. Internships provided by the college are 100%. Each and every student gets internship. Roles offered are in sales and marketing, quality control department and many more.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good but there is no college campus as such. No playing ground of its own but internal is well maintained and it has a big library. The college has its own auditorium which is air conditioned and best. Good laboratories are there but always lack in chemical ingredients. There is no canteen in the college. There is a games room where students can play carom, chess and table tennis. There is also a quarantine area and medical rooms for students.

Faculty: Faculty is good and with well qualified teachers and are very supportive. Teaching is the best and there are many co curriculum activities are performed for the students. There are 3 exams in total, first sessional where 20 % syllabus is covered and then second sessional where other 40 to 50 % syllabus is covered and then final semester.

My college Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute.

Placements: The placement opportunities here are in abundance if you are a computer or IT student. Surely, you will be picked in for the on-campus interview. The internship process here starts once a student completes their second year of the curriculum, and there will be lots of companies who will be visiting the campus for the processes here.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure which is provided here is not that satisfactory, but the time is changing. In the coming years, I am sure that the college labs will have the latest technologies possible. The classrooms in some of the departments such as civil, mechanical are air-conditioned.

Faculty: The teachers here are not that much knowledgeable. There are also some faculty members who are very much qualified, and one can easily approach them for any problems, but the overall quality of the teaching staff was poor. The industrial exposure here is none. Those opportunities aren't provided here.

Better than I expected. As faculty, I don’t have lot of expectations. They are the same everywhere.

Placements: My seniors pass out, and only extraordinary scores get placed. The ones who are street-smart and the ones who can do something are not selected. It is more a matter of creating intelligent students rather than creating different skills.

Infrastructure: Classrooms mostly have non-working ACs. The bathrooms are small, the building is old-style, and the campus is small but has a very large cafeteria. Sometimes, it feels like a prison because of the infrastructure. It has been the same building for many years with no expansion or renovation.

Faculty: Faculty members are okay. Some good and some bad. The curriculum is relevant, and exams are usually not that difficult if we study properly. However, they charge a lot for backlog fees, which is an unnecessary amount. Most colleges charge a maximum of Rs.1500 for 5-6 backlogs, but they charge Rs.10,000 only for backlogs, so it’s messed up.
