What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is good, lots of air and good weather. Good facilities, decent food spots around and faculties are also good mostly. Masters courses are available in some departments.
Dislikes
- There are cows roaming around as well as dogs so there is a lot of rubbish on the roads. The college is situated on a hill so getting there is a challenge for bus travellers, Canteen is horrible, so is the workshop. Security is non existent.
- Anyone can come during college hours and even kill you and nobody will do anything.
Course Curriculum Overview
For IT, everyday there is something new. So for me, the syllabus is pretty outdated but for my juniors, they have NEP so their syllabus is relatively new and up-to-date. But whatever is taught whether to us or them is relevant at best.
Internships Opportunities
Lots of them are there. You have to ask the faculties because I am sort of a newcomer there. There are lots of companies holding workshops and promotional programs so there are a lot of opportunities.
Placement Experience
I have no clue but the highest placements are in Computer and IT branches. Civil has probably the least placement. The quality is good thanks to IIT and NIT being in the same campus thus the big companies that come to those colleges also come to our colleges but they prefer those students more because NIT and IIT are more prestigious colleges.
Fees and Financial Aid
For General Category, the fees are 46,000 per semester. Category wise fees are distributed. Moreover, General Category students can show their income certificate and/or EWS certificate to get a seat as well as reduced fees. Hostel charges 19000 including mess for boys. Exam registration fees are separate and vary. Also, revaluation of semester papers costs 650/- per paper.
Campus Life
Campus life is amazing. Goans are the best people and there are a lot of places to chill within as well as outside the campus. Being located in the centre of Goa it is easy for all the people to travel there. Lots of clubs are there. Sports facilities are pathetic, though.
Admission
I don't need to answer this in detail, simple answer is that it is the only Government Engineering College in Goa. There is NIT and IIT, both in same campus as my college along with ITI. I didn't get admission into IIT and NIT and ITI who even wants to go so I took admission into GEC. That too I wanted Computer Engineering but didn't get it due to my rank thus I opted for IT because the syllabus is more or less the same for both the branches and just the order of subjects is different. What we have now, they'll have later on in the future semesters and vice versa.
Faculty
Most of the faculties are good and friendly, so that is a good thing. I cannot disclose the names of faculties here but there are some who don't know anything and have paid their way into the college.
Night Life
The canteen is closed at 6. There are restaurants around so you can get food but you have to be in the hostel before the gate closes. 8:30 is the timing when the hostelite curfew starts for boys as well as girls. Any food ordered, etc. is to be ordered before that, and students have to go to the gate to receive it.
