How is RV college?

RVCE is one of the finest colleges for engineering in India.Let me justify this on the basis of three factors:

1. Infrastructure: The campus is really very good. It might look little old. But, it is well maintained. Every lab is well equipped and the lab curriculum is as good as it is in any IITs Or NITs. There are four, year-wise boys’ hostels inside the campus and two, girls-hotels outside the campus :p. There are two tennis courts, one standard Basketball hall, one big sports complex (with satisfactory amenities for ex-a badminton court, 5 table tennis area, one indoor game arena). Besides, it has two grounds (both of them installed with goal posts and one of them has a cricket pitch too). Every department is well constructed and all of them have modern AV hall. The campus also has one mini canteen (for snacks) and one 800–900 heads one-time occupancy food court. They serve really healthy food if not tasty (because taste is very personal). Every hostel has its own dining area and mess (except 3rd-year hostel, because 3rd and 4th year have their food in 4th-year mess, this helps to exchange knowledge with seniors). The campus has an amphitheatre, two workshops buildings, one big parking area and a Kotak Mahindra Bank.The campus has an administrative block and a floor dedicated to placement cell.
2. Important Constituents
   1. Faculties: The college has okayish faculties. Well, this is the case in most of the engineering colleges in India. Though, it does have few outstanding faculties in every department. But, the faculties are little cold when it comes to student-teacher interaction. You may find at least one VIRUS in every department (So, there are a dozen of them :p)
   2. Students: The most pivotal constituents of the college. Let’s, talk about the selection procedure of these students. One can get into the college either by
      1. KCET (Karnataka common entrance test): Only the residence of Karnataka can take up this test. RV is definitely on the top priority for the students taking up the test. The cut off is very high for RV through this. 50% of college seats are filled up through KCET. The college fee for the students through KCET is very less ₹24k–50k per year.
      2. COMED-k (Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka) This Exam is at all India level. And obviously, RV is the first choice. The cut off here is too high too. The student pays a yearly college fee of around 1.6lpa (huge difference with respect to KCET, for an all India exam competition). 38% seats of the college are filled up through this exam.
      3. MQ (Management Quota): Do I need to say anything about this. Most of the students who are selected through the competitive exams are very good students. That doesn’t mean that all students through MQ are bad. The temperament of a student in college plays a very important role. Generally, the students are competitive, shy and little boring. They have their own sets of values. There are many clubs for the students to showcase their talents, be it racing car clubs for ex. Ashwa(they represent India at many racing competitions across the globe and have their own niché )or debating club or quizzing club or e-cell(one of the best e-cell clubs in India) or theatre club-CARV( one of the best student theatre clubs in India); you name it and they have it. If you don’t have a club to showcase your talent, then finding one is very easy too. The seniors are very helpful and, sometimes, little naggy for their juniors.There are many Students who drink and smoke (well, Bangalore pub culture is to be blamed for the same). But, that doesn’t imply that those who drink, compromise with their academics or vice-versa. The campus has a curfew time (not to stay in the campus for girls post 6 pm and not to come into the campus for boys post 10:00 pm). The students organise their college fest -8th mile, every year, through sponsors. The College administration is a little cold for the fest. But, they are really very helpful and cooperative if the students have formed their committee to organise the fest. The college doesn’t provide money for the fest every year. But, getting sponsors for the same is fun and is a learning cusp for the students, besides, to work in a team. Eventually, the students pool 35–45lacs money to organise the fest. The fest is one of the bests in India. The students who reside in the hostel have best four years of their life. And they eventually end up having an eternal friendship. Every social construct has few anti-social elements and so does RV but, let’s ignore them because they are a few.
   3. Non- Teaching Staff: They are helpful and at times are very irritating. Try to be their friends and you will not face any problem.
3. Placements: The placement may be divided into two- 1)CSc::ECE::EEE 2) other departments. (This is how it is in any other colleges too.) The avg package in CSc and ECE is 10lpa( highest 30 lpa) and that in EEE is 8–9lpa (highest 16 lpa). Many elite MNCs hit the campus ex-Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Cisco, Qualcomm, Infosys( offered 16lpa; not for mass recruitment), SAP, JP Morgan Chase &Co., Morgan Stanley, Caterpillar, BookMyShow, BEL, Mercedes, etc. There were 150+ recruiters. The other departments’ students manage to get either 6 digit package (few got 7 digit packages too ex Tata steels(11lpa)) or most of them pursue higher education. And they have very great future after their further studies.RV college has only domestic placements. So, please accept the fact that 30lpa domestic placement is good enough, I would say it’s great.
