Birla Vishvakarma Mahavidyalaya Engineering College B.Tech Review By Jalak Pandya

As the college is 3 tier, I can say it was average. But it can be listed in top 5 government colleges in Gujarat. It had below average placements, above average academics and not so good extracurricular activities. But what I liked most about the college was its location. It's situated at the most iconic city of the Gujarat. Vallabh Vidyanagar is best to study. Apart from that the college has its independent curriculum and course structure.

The college provides admission through ACPC. For IT and Computer branch you need top ranks, and it gradually decreases for other branches. Specifically for Electronics Engineering which is under grant in aid structure of the college, you should have a rank around 7000 in Gujarat. My motive to select electronics was because of its versatile demand, as I am passing out from EL I must say that EL people can do IT and non-IT jobs very efficiently. Thus if you are unable to get admission into IT fields, go for Electronics. You will not regret it.

Faculties were average. One-two in whole department could be qualified in masters from top colleges in India, rest have average backgrounds. Some are very hard working. But the college has enough study material, using which we can self study. And I must appreciate efforts of some faculties as they are very proactive and ready to help.

Here comes the main part. The goal of these 4 years is nothing but a good placement. The college has a very active placement cell but they are unable to invite some good companies for the placements. Most of the students get placement with 4LPA which is very low as per the market standards.

They had residential boy’s hostel and girl’s hostel are out of the campus. The management and staff members of the hostel are not that helpful. Overall, the hostel facilities offered by the college are not up to the mark.

As the college was established in 1948, the campus is quite old, but I found it nice and clean. It is small and simple campus with all the required facilities. They keep renovating it within some period. I liked the campus as my main concern is placements and academics. If you have fond of big and stylish campus then this is not for you. It has independent building for specific branches, average classes and, average laboratories.

Campus life was average only. We had about 2 fests in a year. The student’s technical clubs were active; you can take part in those if you like making contacts. Some activities are organised here for student engagement and you can be a part of that too if interested.
