Choosing the right engineering college

Parameters to be kept in mind while choosing a good engineering college in Telangana. There are several engineering colleges in Telangana. There are many B-Tech colleges in Hyderabad itself. So, choosing the right engineering college is essential for all young students pursuing engineering after their 10+2 examinations.

It is these four years that will lay the foundation for your future career prospects. One should do honest research or minimally seek guidance from an expert before choosing an engineering college.

This article is to guide those regarding what parameters they have to check for while selecting engineering colleges in Telangana.

College Infrastructure :

The essential thing to keep in mind while choosing B-Tech colleges in Hyderabad is the school’s infrastructure, and it doesn’t mean an honest-looking building, pathways, greenery, and gym facilities.

 The infrastructure of an engineering college is a far broader term to be looked into. However, here is what you’ll check.

• What is their Internet bandwidth? (Consider the per capita bandwidth.)

• How good is the library both in terms of books and subscription to journals?

• How good are hostels? Do they need cooling? (Other than fans), vital in most parts of the country.

• Do they need sports facilities on campus?

• How good are their labs?

Also, is the prevailing infrastructure well maintained and upgraded as per the general standards the extra points are to be noted.

Faculty

Good faculty forms the most critical component in a good Btech college in Hyderabad. So once you visit the website of a department, search for the following information:

• Number of full-time faculty members. Would you mind confirming that you go through the website and determine who may be a full-time academician and a part-time or adjunct academician? Faculty to student ratio is additionally to be looked upon.

• Faculty qualifications. What percentage are PhD and M.Tech? Where did they do their PhD and M.Tech?

• If the very best qualification for any academician is B.Tech or MCA, one needs to be alarmed. Top places will offer only higher PhDs. Good places may have some M.Tech.

• How many courses is a faculty teaching per semester? Two or three?

Research

The department-wise research output of a university is another factor to be looked into. This may also increase your judgment about the standard of the college. The higher the school, the higher the research output. Doing research keeps an educator up-to-date on the world and makes their understanding of the topic better. This will only help to improve the standard of teaching.

• Publication by faculty members. Higher preference should be given to peer-reviewed journals and conferences of top quality and reputation.

• Sponsored research projects by various funding agencies like the Department of Science and Technology (DST), AICTE, Dept of Information Technology, etc.

• Do they have industry interaction in terms of research projects or consultancy?

• Do they invite several researchers to offer seminars?

• Do they organize workshops and conferences?

Curriculum

A number of the items to see within the curriculum are:

• How many courses do they teach? Unlike the traditional wisdom in India, I think that the school that teaches you less may be a better college. It means they are doing less spoon-feeding and provides you more room to grow and learn.

• How many electives are there within the curriculum, giving flexibility to the scholars to find out what they’re interested in?

• Do they have enough humanities and science courses (at least 10 per cent courses)? One can’t be a complete engineer without understanding economics, sociology, psychology, etc.

Status Of The Alumni

Another parameter in determining an honest college is to see what happened to their students after they graduated.

Don’t overemphasize, but you’ll just need to see what students do immediately after graduation. So search for the following:

• How many students are going for higher studies, whether in India or abroad or doing MS/M.Tech or for doing MBA? This is often far more important than placement statistics since today; education is the key to success.

• Do check out the campus placement statistics but take everything with a pinch of salt. People lie a lot or don’t explain what they mean by the statistics that they share.

College Review

 Have they been ranked by any significant survey like India Today, Dataquest, etc.?

• Does the college have any formal accreditation by AICTE (NBA) or NAAC, etc.? If yes, what’s the result?

• Is it a university or deemed to be a university?

Location:

This factor doesn’t play a vital role, but if it’s nearby any industrial or software hub, then it’s going to be slightly helpful to you as far as your industrial training and placement are concerned, but keep this factor eventually. Don’t choose an engineering college simply because it’s almost your home

The above parameters will help you select far better engineering colleges in Telangana or anywhere else. All the best!
