Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology and Management Campus Experience for B.Tech ECE

My college name is Dr Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology and Management (Formerly Northern India Engineering College). It is an IP University  Affiliated College situated in New Delhi. I got my admission to B.Tech Programme in Electronics and Communication Engineering through JEE Mains Exam in 2020. Today I’m going to share my campus experience and I’m gonna talk about the events, the type of societies here, the faculties and the Placement. So, let’s get started with my first-year journey.

The first 3 semesters of my college life were not as fulfilling as one would imagine. Classes were online, with no physical interaction, and no activities whatsoever, college didn’t feel like college. It felt more like an extended summer break with lots of assignments. The classes were regular but the learning curve kept dropping. I didn’t enjoy my college life in my first year. The End-term exams were held online and every student got full marks in each exam. After the first semester exams, the second semester started within a week. The second semester was online also and it was the same as the first semester. When Covid was nearly gone then our colleges opened.

In the second year, I finally got a chance to visit my college and fulfill all my college dreams. In my college, there are a few societies I’m going to talk and these societies are nearly in every college. The college director and teachers support students to participate in the events that were ongoing or in the societies. Some societies that are in my college are IEEE, Gaming Society, RoboGyan, Enactus and the Music Society. I joined the gaming society and attend some events at other colleges also. After some time the college started organizing events and these events are for all college students. I attended as many events and hackathons as possible in my second year.

Currently, I’m in my third year. I’m going to tell you about the faculty, the course curriculum and the placements. The faculties are good, well-qualified and supportive too. They support you to participate in other activities and give you time for this. When it comes to the course curriculum, the courses are according to the industry requirements and good you need 40% in each subject to pass the semesters. I connected with my seniors to enquire about the placement scenario at my college. To my relief, the response was mostly positive. The highest package grabbed by one of our students last year was 44 LPA at Amazon. Many other companies like Google, Paytm, American Express, Wipro and TCS also come for placement drives. It is a decent college and the placement graph is also improving every year.
