Tell me good things about cmrit bangalore
HELLO ZEESHAN ALI
1. Faculty - There has been a massive revamp in faculty ever since YOU graduated. There are some really good teachers and there are some really bad ones. This is pretty common across colleges. The percentage of good teachers will be anywhere between 20 to 30%. The “OK” ones will be anywhere between 40 to 50% and the remaining are below average.
2. Placements - During 2017–18 period, the largest recruiter in the college was none other than the great TCS :) They recruited just 64 people compared to 110 the previous year. A lot of people were struggling for jobs. Most of the best opportunities went to the CSE and ISE guys. Nobody wanted the other branches. TCS was the only mass recruiter during my time. I have heard that the placements were really good after that and have been consistent since then. Lot of good companies visit these days - Amazon, Nokia, Commonfloor, etc. Lot of pool campus events and off campus events also help in getting students placed. These days they more or less place around 80 to 90% people by the time they graduate. Most of the people from my batch found jobs within 3 to 6 months after graduation.
3. Peer group - The peer group is actually very good. Most of the students here are pretty good, knowledgeable, ambitious and hard working. There are lots of guys who get university ranks every year.
4. Infrastructure - Decent but not too great. They have a good international canteen now and a huge basketball court now. The ground is also pretty good and they have a great auditorium. The hostel is OK
5. Location - It is very close to ITPL. In fact, it is situated in one of the best places in Bangalore. The locality is amazing. There are lots of restaurants and hangout spots all around the college. There is a movie theatre close by as well :)
6. Alumni - I felt that the alumni are more or less disconnected from the juniors. This is a big issue. In great colleges, the alumni are the ones who drive placements, tech talks, etc. This is one area where my college is lacking big time. I think the college needs to do a bit here to bring the alumni back and organize events for juniors. Networking and learning from alumni can do a lot for the students who are trying to get their foot into the industry.
7. Extra curriculars - The focus on this is not particularly large but there is fair amount of encouragement. There are a lot of clubs these days - for the students, of the students and by the students. There are some faculty members who encourage students to take up projects. The Dean is one such person.. The Physics department too has a professor who is obsessed with helping students succeed and take up research :)
- Cultural Activities: It organises fest called cultura every even sem for 2 days. Where it will have Fashion Show, Mad Ads, different cultural activities and it ends up with DJ. Once we had Sunburn band and next we had Raghu Dixit.
- Facilities: They have recently set up a workshop called Makerspace. which has 3D printer, wood cutting machine and different type tools. This is a good initiative where students can make use of it for their Projects or any ideas to bring out.
- Apart from that they have everything that students basically need viz. Labs, AV halls, Auditorium and Library.
- Library has very good ambience but the problem is they issue only 2 books and if you don't renew on time you have to pay hefty fine based on the days.
So, overall, I wouldn’t say it is amazingly good. It is definitely a good place to be and a good place to learn. You won’t be disappointed for sure.
HOPE IT HELPS
ALL THE BEST
