National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Aurangabad

Admission: The teachers here are called scientists, but I'm still waiting for them to prove it. Some are good, but most seem to be in it just for the money. When I was in school, sometimes the history teacher would send the math teacher to cover a class. It's the same thing here. I had one teacher for different subjects in different semesters, and honestly, he didn't teach us much. Another teacher was teaching us stuff she didn't even understand herself, and she wanted to study law! Our course material is all over the place. When we looked at other colleges, we noticed that our electronics program was missing important topics. Some subjects were just repeated in different semesters and called Part 1 and Part 2. It feels like our syllabus was just copied and pasted to get approved by the university.

Placement: I wanna share about my experience at this college. There weren't any seniors in the B.Tech program because it started in 2013. So, I'll talk about M.Tech and diploma placements instead. This college is run by the government and is part of the Digital India Project. Sadly, the college authorities don't help with placements. They think we're smart enough to find jobs on our own. Since 2017, no student from any branch has gotten a placement. Every year, 0% of students get placed. No companies come for internships either. It's a tough situation for us students here.

Campus: The college has great facilities, especially in the lab for making PCBs. They provide all the materials you need for your projects for free. The lab assistants are really nice and helpful. But, the canteen is a mess. They can't handle the 120 students here. It's chaotic every day with food quality and money issues. There aren't any other food options nearby. You have to walk 1.5 km just for a samosa. The college is 4 km from the university gate. There's a market there, but things are pricier.

Admission: The teachers here have degrees, but they don't really teach. I wouldn't recommend this college for your career. Most of the course is taken up by M.Tech students, and the professors don't teach much. Some are good, but it doesn't make a big difference. There's not much industry exposure given. The main issue is the curriculum  they offer a degree in electronics system engineering, which isn't well-known. When you apply for competitive exams, you may have to choose a different field like electronics and communication. Sometimes, you won't even have a choice. The course is okay, but not many people want it.

Placement: The B.Tech first batch graduated in 2019. Around 5% got placed with an average monthly package of 25k. Most companies hired for sales and marketing. In 2018, the placement rate went up to about 20%, but not many students took part. The average package was 18k. Naniko Pvt Ltd, Trimax, and some local companies came for placements. Final year students can do a six-month internship at Siemens. The college has a placement cell, but it's not very effective.

Campus: The college doesn't have great facilities. The internet connection is always spotty. There aren't enough classrooms for everyone. The medical services are okay. Sports and games options are pretty good. But the labs are terrible - not enough stuff and space. The food in the canteen is the worst I've ever had. Lots of students choose to live off-campus because of it. Boys have decent hostel rooms, but girls have to stay at the university hostel nearby. It's not too far to walk there.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff. They use interactive methods to teach us, and we have seminars often. Sometimes, they bring in outside teachers to help us understand tough subjects. We do a lot of hands-on learning, which is great. The faculty is super supportive, both in our studies and in our personal lives.

Placement: My batch was the first to graduate from this college. Back then, only a few companies like Trimax, Verroc Industries, Sterlite Technology, and Videocon had tie-ups with our college for placements and internships. Our college held many recruitment drives in and around Aurangabad. Some students even got to work in cities like Pune, Nagpur, and Bangalore. Aurangabad is a hub for industries, so there are good job opportunities. The placement cell at NIELIT Aurangabad is great at getting jobs for students, even from other colleges. They organize job fairs in the district too.

Campus: The college campus is right on the university campus. The main market is about 4-5 km away. It's a big college, around 18 acres, and they only offer electronic system engineering. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled and CCNA certified. There are separate labs for each subject. Students can do practicals on their own as long as they attend classes. The canteen is on a contract basis and students get to pick the menu. We have a top-notch PCB lab. Hostel facilities are available for both boys and girls right on campus. It's provided by the university.

Admission: The teachers at our college are pretty good. They know a lot about their subject and have experience. Their teaching is okay, nothing special. They use the same methods as everyone else. The course content is helpful.

Placement: I'm in my first year of diploma at this college. Most of us in my batch get over 60% in our studies, but a few fall below that. I think many students join after doing well in JEE. I'm not sure about the salaries students are offered after graduating.

Campus: The college doesn't have public Wi-Fi, so you have to use the computer lab if you need the internet for studying. The classrooms are big, but not many students are around. They're not in great condition though. The library is nice and cozy. We have a clinic, but no doctor there. The college only opens the ground during sports week.

Admission: The teachers at this college are not good. They get paid by the government but don't know their subjects well. They lack experience, which affects our studies. Also, this course isn't accepted by many other colleges for a master's degree in this field.

Placement: This college is kinda new, so not many companies know about it. That's why some students struggle to get job offers. Most students here haven't got a job yet. But I think things will get better for placements in the future.

Campus: The college has good infrastructure overall, especially the hostels, roads, and streets. The classrooms and facilities are okay, nothing too fancy. They give us Wi-Fi, but with some limits, though it's pretty fast.

Admission: The professors here are mostly good scientists, with some guest lecturers from the university or other places. Some teachers are really helpful and willing to assist with anything you need. However, a few teachers don't seem to be very interested in student activities which can make things a bit boring. But don't worry, there are some teachers who are working hard to make things better. Some of them are researchers and they know a lot, but they might not be the best at teaching. Still, if you put in the effort, they'll help you out. If you can get some hands-on experience from the teachers, you'll learn a lot more. Right now, we don't have a lot of exposure to the industry, but they are planning to bring in real-world problems for us to work on. This will definitely give us more exposure to the industry. The course covers everything you need to prepare for higher education exams like Gate and IES.

Placement: The placement cell started last year, and the 2017 batch was the first to graduate. Since it was the first year for placements, not many good companies came. The average package was around 3-4 lpa, and some students got placed off-campus. Only about 70 students were graduating, with most going for higher studies. The companies that came weren't big electronics companies, and the job fair had students from Aurangabad too. Right now, there are no internships, but there's potential for them in the future. Hopefully, placements will improve in the coming years with more industries visiting our college.

Campus: The campus is huge, about 16 acres with lots of greenery. There's no Wi-Fi everywhere, but the labs have fast internet and good computers. The PCB lab is the best, where you can make your own designs. They have cool stuff like 3D printing and CNC machines for hands-on learning. Sports lovers will enjoy the volleyball, basketball, cricket, and tennis courts, plus a gym for everyone. The canteen on campus isn't great for food, but there's a better one nearby. The hostel rooms are nice, some even have a view of the hills and an ethernet connection. I've had no issues with the infrastructure here and really like the atmosphere.

Admission: The teachers know a lot but don't always help much. They teach like most Indian engineering colleges. There's one teacher for every 15 students. The course is well planned. We get good exposure to industry. We go on industrial visits a lot, more than other colleges.

Placement: The job placements are decent, nothing too amazing. The last batch of students got jobs with an average salary of 3 lakhs per year. Companies like Sterlite, Videocon, Byju's, and CMIA came for recruitment. As for internships, we landed some nice ones at places like BSNL, BHEL, and ONGC. The highest stipend we heard about was 5k per month from BSNL.

Campus: I really like it here. The campus is huge with lots of greenery, great for studying. The classrooms are big and the labs are top-notch. There's a cool CNC lab and a 3D printing lab, which is pretty unique for a college in India. It's a great place to learn and grow.

Admission: The teachers here are really nice and always willing to help. They're experts in their fields. The semester exams can be tough, but if you study the syllabus, you'll be fine. Just make sure to go to all your classes, and the exams will feel easy.

Placement: I go to a college that focuses on electronics research and development. If you're looking for good placements, it might be a bit tough here. The highest salary they offer is 25 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Companies like TCS, Wipro, and Intel come for recruiting.

Campus: The labs for PCB designing at our college are top-notch! We've got labs for VLSI, 3D printing, consumer electronics, embedded systems, power electronics, virtual networking, fiber optics, and more. Plus, our hostel is really nice, and we get free Wi-Fi 24/7. And don't forget about the library on campus it's a great resource!

Admission: The professors at this college are really good at their job. They have a lot of experience. The courses they offer are exactly what the industry needs right now. They bring in experts from the industry for workshops. We also get to visit companies that make electronic stuff. It's cool to see it all in action.

Placement: The manufacturing course here gives us a big view of the Electronics Industry. India isn't strong in electronics manufacturing yet, so there are lots of chances for us. Many big companies and some local ones hire engineers from our college. It's a good opportunity for us to get a job in this field.

Campus: The campus looks really nice and the labs have all the tools we need for practical learning. They have good hostels and mess for boys and girls. The library is great with lots of technical magazines to keep us updated on new tech stuff.

Admission: The teachers at this college are super helpful and really know their stuff. They teach well and the course is great for becoming a skilled engineer. There are lots of chances to work in the industry too. The exams each semester can be tough, but they cover both theory and practical skills.

Placement: The placement scene here is really impressive. Big companies like Precision Power Products, Avench Pvt Ltd, and Controlytic Power Limited come for hiring. In the 4th year, we get chances for internships too. I know friends who got roles like PCB Design Engineer and Hardware Design Engineer through placements here. It's cool to see so many options opening up for us.

Campus: The campus isn't huge, but it looks really nice, especially in certain seasons. The course includes different labs like digital electronics, analog electronics, power electronics, PCB, Embedded and IOT, Soc lab, and done lab. The hostel is pretty good with nice facilities. It costs 3600 per month for meals, which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The hostel fees are 10,500 per semester.
