Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore
Location:
Located near some villages in the far northwest region of Bangalore. The college is pretty far from the main road hence not easily accessible unless you have a two wheeler or are ready to spend a good amount on the auto rickshaws. The college provides bus facility whose charges are high. In short, the college is not easily accessible
Infrastructure:
Well, students claim that it is hotel not college. Classrooms are air conditioned, hi-tech facilities, equipped with a wifi internet connection and hugely spaced out. Library is superb and has books for all the courses. Cricket stadium, a huge playground, volleyball, basketball and table tennis court completes the magnificent artwork of the college.
Wait! You have to pay huge charge for all this. Middle class student can't afford charges for all these.
Hostel facilities are like Five Star hotel. From clean and widely spaced bedrooms and washrooms to hygienic mess food, everything is perfect when it comes to hostel life. Yeah, you’ve to spend more than 1 lakh per annum for the hostel rent.
Highest hostel fees in Bangalore.
Fees:
For Karnataka CET students: Rs. 36,090 - 50,000/- per year
For UGET (COMEDK) students: Rs. 1,37,000 - 1,40,000 per year
Faculty:
Professors are well qualified and have got their PhD and M.Tech degrees. But sometime they behave like Government employees. Mechatronics and ECE departments is very good. Mechanical and Electrical departments are also good. CSE and Information Science is below average. Mainly lecture is conducted in English while a few teach in Kannada.
Attendance & Discipline:
Acharya follows the strict attendence of 75% failing which students will not be allowed to give their mid semester exams. The management allows to compensate for the low attendance by covering in the next semester failing which students are detained. Though there have not been a lot of cases in the past but the authorities can act strict any time. Also, a lot of warnings are given throughout the semester, so chances of detaining are VERY less.
Crowd:
At Acharya Institute of Technology, you can meet student from the city of Bangalore. Students from North, especially Bihar, UP & Bengal but in very less numbers. Crowd is friendly, enjoys/celebrates college. There are a lot of inter department events held round the year and the participation is mind blowing. In short, students love to party.
Canteen:
College canteen serves decent food. It’s widely spaced and you can expect a decent variety in the food. Quality, too, is pretty good! But charge is huge.
Hangouts:
Acharya Institutes is itself a hangout place. Apart from the canteen, there is a sandwich cum soda stall which is jam-packed with students primarily because of its excellent taste and lower rates. Jalahalli cross and Rock Line mall are the happening areas next to the campus where you see Acharya-ites chilling. There is a smoking joint next to the college where you see a lot of Engineering students as well. As the location isn’t very accessible, places too aren’t hi-fi but students some how manage their non academic life.
Festivals:
Acharya Habba, inter college festival of Acharya Institutes, is supposedly the biggest college festival in Bangalore.
Placements:
Companies like Mahindra, Bosch, Wipro, Michelin Tyres, L&T, Infosys etc., mainly Mechanical and Electrical based companies. If you meet the basic requirements, you can get a job though the trend shows that around 60%-70% of the students get placed in these batch. Students feel that the placement scenario should improve and more companies should visit the college.
But placement in CSE and Information Science is average. Placement in Information Science is poor. Because college mainly focus on Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical & ECE. In short, this college is not good for CSE and Information Science Engineering.
