Hi Krishna,

Engineering in india is super hyped in the point of just a degree.People don't understand what engineering really means.The topic of doing engineering from private or goverment is very difficult to answer.I would suggest you if really want to do engineering not only for job but to actually learning something new that will change your life you should try to do it from government colleges.Because the scope of doing something of your interest is very high there.As well as also like minded and brilliant students motivate others to give their best.As well as great teachers help you purse your skills to huge levels.The whole atmosphere  of great ideas is those colleges pull up students to do something great in their life.

Hope my reply will help you in deciding your point of view .

ALL THE BEST!!

HELLO KRISHNA


HERE ARE A FEW CRITERIAS BASED ON WHICH YOU CAN DECIDE WHICH ONE SUITS YOU THE MOST.


College Fees

In Government engineering colleges, the fees are considerably lesser. This is because the government decides the fee charged (and with the reservation quotas in place, different sects of group - female, economically backward and lower castes have big fee waivers). I once compared the fees of a government college with that of an average private college and found the difference to be magnanimous. Govt. college students had to pay negligible amount as yearly fees. With the ratio being 1:10 in some cases.


In contrast to that, private engineering colleges charge a lot higher. It's the college's upper management (Chairman & Trustees) that decide the per year fees. This can range from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 Lakh per year. There are two important quotas here - 1. Management Quota (where they charge higher for students with lower grades seeking to get admission) 2. NRI Quota (children of NRI parents can get admission. Fees are again much higher).


Placement Scenario -


The popular government engineering college across India has had a stellar placement record. With the top offers as well as average offers surpassing several private engineering colleges. However, there are some govt. colleges where no companies visit for campus placements. An example of this is - CS batch of Chandrapur Govt. Engineering College (Batch of 2012). Therefore, it's important for students who are seeking to land a job immediately after graduation, to check the college's placement records for at least last 2 years.


Private engineering colleges are popping up in every nook and corner of the city. Hence, it's difficult to give a common verdict for all. But, several private engineering colleges established 5-10 years back, have put up a lot of efforts in tying up with MNCs and other big companies. So, these companies visit engineering colleges without fail and each of them are seen to recruit as many as 100-150 students in one go. There are several newly established private colleges, where no companies visit and students are left on their own to do the job hunt after graduating.


Teaching Staff -


Government colleges generally have highly qualified professors with post graduate degrees and doctorate being a norm. The Government pays the faculty well and also offers regular pay hikes. The professors are found to be trained in teaching and generally have several years of experience and hence know their subject well. Govt. college students report higher satisfaction levels when it comes to dealing with their lecturers for solving doubts, getting guidance for projects and connecting with alumni.


In private engineering colleges, the faculty may not be as good as government colleges. (Again: This opinion is based on the majority of colleges I've visited.) Private colleges employ B.E. or B.Tech graduates as lecturers and they have little or no teaching experience. Private colleges are also seen to suffer from the problem of shortage of professors and lecturers resigning frequently.


Infrastructure -


Though it is a sorry state, some Government engineering colleges in India really suffer a lot from lack of good facilities in labs, no proper equipment, furniture, electricity etc. These are crucial factors that can hamper in the progress of a curriculum. Some Govt. colleges have maintained their campuses very well, but it is advised that students and parents visit the campus and check these things for themselves before taking admission.


Private Engineering Colleges (Especially the ones established 5-10 years back) seem to have really good infrastructure. In fact, they advertise these facilities in their shiny brochures. Again, in-person investigation of all these facilities is a must.


Curriculum and Examinations -


Depending on whether it's an autonomous institution or not, the syllabus is going to differ. For an autonomous institute, there's freedom to choose the subjects taught and the way exams are conducted. If one feels that, the area in which they are staying has a poor University with lack of regular updates and response to requests, they can choose an autonomous college. However, do keep in mind that when applying to post-graduate studies, the colleges may give bigger importance to the University and the new college aren't well recognized.


HAPPY LEARNING!!

Hello,

I dont think its an question to think about.

Definitly government, because most probably the government engineering institutions are universities

So we know that the graduation certificate received from an government institution is more valuable than a certificate received from an private university or an affiliated colleges.

But be careful that some government institutions are very bad in condition,so please check the instruction before getting into it

ALL THE BEST!!

Hi,

See all the government and private colleges have their own pros and cons. If we talk about private colleges :

  • They have high fee structure
  • They provide good environment and resourses
  • The faculties focus more on the students and try to explain them things very clearly
  • Spoon feeding of things is done at times during teaching process.
  • They have alot of events and students are engaged in extra curricular activities.
  • They have good hostel rooms
  • They have good placement but not too good.


If we talk about government colleges :

  • They have less fee structure
  • They have not much resoursces but are much for students
  • They have faculties that hardly take classes and the students study themselves   .
  • They dont have good hostel rooms.
  • They have a good placement it totally is very nice .
  • They have very vast campus upto 100 acres and more.
So now its upto you that how you take upto things and what you want to go for. And all the very best!
