Vemana Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Priti M

The college is best at killing student’s creativity because in the name of creativity you will be given loads and loads of assignments which are of no use. VTU gives the feedback form to students to give reviews about their college and we were literally forced to fill positive things. Engineering I thought is about practical learning but at Vemana it is mugging up at the classes. ECE department doesn’t have any placement support team and you will have to find job yourself. All the things that were said during the orientation that Amazon, Flipkart, Coforge and all come were blunders not lie because such companies will never look up at this college. Last but not the least you have to money for every single thing such as buying stationery to rent books or making college I-card. These are just a few examples as the college will use this trick to get maximum money from the students other than the fees that we paid to become useless engineers.

Classes, classes, and classes. From 8.30am to 3.30pm or sometimes even 4 or 5pm, we have to be stuck to the classes. Practicals which were initially twice a week became once a week and by the time we entered 7th semester it became once in 15 days. If those books can make us learn which we anyways had to study on our own because lectures were hardly of any use then we could have stayed home and learn. There was no point attending the college and luckily the attendance count was not that harsh. This was probably the only good thing and I am lucky that I just went to the colleges half the times.

Just a few were supportive and rest all was quite happy when I told them can I study at home and will ask the doubts. The faculty themselves asked us to make groups and do group study and come up in groups to ask doubts. They always knew that we are never coming up but who cared as at least practical numbers were always given in our favor. I don’t know whether these are positives or negatives because if you want just a degree then these things are in favor of you but if you want to learn then I would say don’t you dare come close to this college.

I am feeling so blessed that I have to answer this segment as well. Please don’t read the college site or ask anyone from management. Ask just from the students of the college to know the truth. Some fortune companies came had fun with the students by asking them question that weren’t related to jobs. They went smiling and students were crying because I don’t think more than 20 odd students anyone had the placements. Yes, there was also no tech giant as they mention in their brochure.

During our time the hostel were off campus as the college hostels were being constructed. During my final year the boys and girls hostel work was completed but admission to the hostel were only from 2017 batch. So, the only information that I can provide about hostels is that now there’s a boys and girls hostel facility available at the campus which were previously outside the campus. The college had transport facilities for students but the hostels which were constructed inside the campus were lavish and it was a 6-storied building.

The college building is 20 years old building and the pictures that you see were taken then. The buildings are no longer as good looking as they look in the picture. Yes, 20 years down the line no one would have imagined such buildings but now they are as common as anything. One thing that they have maintained the best is the admission cell office. Classes and labs are in poor conditions. Library is so old and even the chairs have lost their colors but still the college didn’t changed those. The canteen was at least good as it was a closed building and had both AC and Non-Ac sections. Solar panels were installed at all the buildings as it was due to government orders that all colleges in Bangalore should go green and conserve the energy. This is also a common practice in many of the Bangalore colleges so nothing new that Vemana Institute of Technology did. Out of all the facilities Analog electronic lab was of most use to us and it wasn’t maintained. Thus, for me the facilities will be categorized as poor.

To hell with such campus life that only had assignment for students and not much fun activity. A stage was built and we thought we will have jam sessions and college parties. Apart from one cultural event which was also done by freshers as seniors were aware of the ugly truth that students will have to pay from their own pocket for decorating and bringing a DJ at the campus.
