Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management (SMVITM)

Admission: The faculty here isn't as knowledgeable as I hoped. They seem to lack experience in their field. Some act like they know everything, even if they don't. A good college needs faculty who really know their stuff and have lots of experience.

Placement: Getting placements here is tough. Not everyone gets placed where they want, especially in engineering. I wouldn't suggest this college to anyone looking to join good companies.

Campus: The college has good infrastructure with labs, playground, and indoor games. The hostel is nice, but the rules are too strict. I appreciate how they're always working to improve the facilities. However, the food in the canteen is not good at all.

Admission: The teachers here are really experienced and give great guidance. They're top-notch at teaching, which is why this college is so famous. The staff help us with everything  from answering our questions about the courses to helping with future plans and projects. They even support us with placements and organize workshops and talks. The course curriculum is up-to-date, with electives starting from the 5th semester.

Placement: Around half of the students here get jobs from the college placements. The highest salary offered was 8 lakhs per year, while the lowest was 2.5 lakhs. Big companies like Manipal Technologies, Infosys, and Cognizant come to hire students. Everyone gets internships, with some landing spots at Mahindra, HAL, Konkan Railways, Bosch, and more.

Campus: The campus has separate buildings for each branch, which is cool. They have free Wi-Fi for studying, and the labs and library are awesome. Food is okay, but some people might not like the local taste. There are great games to play indoors and outdoors, and the gym is top-notch.

Admission: The faculty at this college is alright. They teach according to VTU's curriculum, but it feels old-fashioned. They rely too much on giving out notes and having extra classes. Udupi is famous for education, and this college lives up to that reputation. However, besides regular classroom teaching, there isn't much focus on industry exposure. I found that aspect lacking during my time there.

Placement: This college is pretty new, with only a few batches that have graduated so far. Local campus placements aren't that great, but if you're good enough, you can try the pool placements and maybe find something. Most students end up in tech support jobs. The college doesn't offer many good job opportunities, and the placement coordinator wasn't happy when some of us decided to look for start-up jobs instead. She wanted us to go for tech support roles to boost their numbers, which wasn't cool. I hope they focus more on improving placements and training students beyond just the regular curriculum.

Campus: The college is new, but the infrastructure is really nice. Each department has its own building on the big campus. The canteen is good and not too expensive. I didn't stay in the hostel, so I can't say much about it. Some people might think the college is better than it actually is because of how nice it looks.

Admission: The teachers and staff at this college are super knowledgeable and friendly. They always have our backs. But the course curriculum could use some updating.

Placement: Most students in our college got jobs. Big companies like Infosys and TCS hire a lot of people from here. The most someone got paid was 18 lakhs per year from a new company. On average, people get around 4 lakhs per year. The lowest offer was 3.2 lakhs per year from Tech Mahindra.

Campus: The college infrastructure is great. The Wi-Fi speed is really fast. The labs are well-equipped and nice. Our classrooms are clean and have projectors. Plus, we have a big library on campus.

Admission: The teaching quality is good, and the teachers are well-qualified. However, some first-year teachers are more focused on their PHDs than students. The college has strict rules, especially regarding attendance and fines. The curriculum and exam decisions are determined by Visveswarya Technological University, Belagavi (VTU).

Placement: The placements this year weren't as good as before. About 70% of students got placed. The average salary is around 8lpa, with the highest being 14lpa and the lowest 3lpa. Not many big companies come to our college for placements. Infosys is the main one that hires students. Some students found good internships, but a lot had to look for internships themselves. Many ended up doing unpaid internships just to gain experience.

Campus: The college's infrastructure is decent for the fees we pay. The classrooms are nice, but the WiFi is only available in some spots like the library and hostel. The hostel rooms are good, but the gym is old and always crowded. The WiFi is there, but it's not great quality. On the bright side, the sports, games, and entertainment are good. Having fun with friends on campus makes for the best campus life experience.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and are always there to help with any questions you have. They organize cool events and activities every month that help us learn new things and improve our skills. Plus, they let us know about all the events through WhatsApp. It's a great way to stay connected and get involved!

Placement: Lots of companies visit our college like Unicourt and Sasken. The lowest salary is around 2 to 4 lakhs, while the highest can go up to 10 to 12 lakhs or even more. If you're skilled in full stack development, getting placed here is a breeze. Knowing C, Java, and databases is a big plus for landing a job.

Campus: The teachers are really good and they know their stuff. The classrooms are top-notch. The canteen is clean and the food is good. They offer a lot of choices at affordable prices. If you stay in the hostel, they provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. The campus is super student-friendly.

Admission: The teachers are alright for the courses. They know their stuff, but they're not super amazing. The course content is good because it covers all the software and tech stuff you need to know for IT. We do projects to get hands-on experience, which is cool. Overall, the subjects we learn are important for the IT field.

Placement: I heard that about 35%-40% of students from my college get jobs after graduation. The highest salary was 7.2 LPA, and the lowest was 3 LPA. Most students also get internships in companies like Robosoft and Ashman. They work in areas like data science and web development. Big companies like TCS, Infosys, and IBM come to our campus for placements.

Campus: The college labs have all the computers we need. The campus is big but lacks enough trees, and it gets pretty hot. The hostel food isn't great, but the rooms are decently sized. The canteen food is okay but not always the same quality. On the bright side, sports and other facilities are really good. Unfortunately, there are no medical services available on campus.

Admission: The faculty in our mechanical engineering department is really friendly and gives us plenty of knowledge. They take us on industrial visits, which is pretty cool. Overall, the teaching method is good and the faculty is nice.

Placement: The placement department really helps us prepare for campus recruitment. They organize workshops on soft skills, communication, and personality development. They bring in experts from the industry who have a lot of experience in these areas to train us. It's super helpful for us students.

Campus: The college is in a great location at bantakal. They have nice hostels on and off campus for boys and girls with all the cool stuff. The college's goal is to give good education to students who need it without costing too much.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They know their stuff and teach well. They're really friendly and treat us nicely. They even stick around during exams to support us. Plus, they're young and full of energy. They mix things up in class by using both the blackboard and projectors.

Placement: The placements used to be not so good, but things have improved since we got a new placement officer. They've been organizing events to help us prepare for campus recruitment tests like aptitude, group discussions, and interviews. It's been motivating us to attend more of these drives.

Campus: The college is in a nice spot. It's clean and has good facilities. There's a digital library for us and the computer labs are well taken care of. The mechanical workshops are also equipped well. Plus, there's a cool sports room. Each branch has its own building, which is convenient.

Admission: The professors here are a mix of young and experienced folks who really know their stuff. They usually teach using blackboards or PowerPoint. The college is big on supporting students in cultural, technical, or sports activities. It's a lively place with lots of energetic teachers.

Placement: The college is new, but they're really working on bringing in companies for placements. In 2017-18, lots of students from CS and EC branches got placed in different companies. The highest package offered so far is 9lpa. I also got placed, which is great! Unfortunately, Mechanical and Civil students don't have as many companies visiting. But overall, placements are good compared to other new colleges.

Campus: Our college's infrastructure is top-notch compared to other engineering colleges in Bangalore. I've been to many colleges in the area for events, and I can say our campus is way better than some well-known ones. Each branch has its own building, we've got a big library, reading rooms, elevators, Wi-Fi for everyone, a nice canteen, and 4 huge auditoriums. It's all here!
