Is it good to take the ETC branch in VSSUT? How good are the placements in ETC in VSSUT?
Electronics, although a vast branch has limited scope in colleges like VSSUT. So, I would not recommend you to take ETC in VSSUT.
You will face many problems, especially in practicals. The lab equipment is outdated hindering the practicals. Most students copy from each other and rarely do students solve a practical question on their own. The professors are also underqualified so your only saviors here are the toppers or the geeks.
The grading is pathetic and some professors don’t give marks unless they know you personally. Students are required to wear formal and clean shaved faces for the next 4 years, unlike the students of other branches.
The lab records will be disapproved and you will have to write it again and again. The students of this branch get back in their exams frequently. The fault is in the faculty members and yet no action is taken against them.
Although I recommend you not to join this branch, you can consider talking to the seniors once before making the final decision.
How is the ETC branch in VSSUT Burla?
The ETC branch in VSSUT is not a good option at all. The curriculum is rigid and students have no option but to mug up the books prescribed by the professors. Sometimes the professors even prescribe the wrong books and students end up failing. You will have to consult your seniors regarding the books you have to follow. The teachers are least interested in teaching and you will have to depend on self-study.
The professors are so arrogant that if you reach the class even a minute after the professors, they don’t let you sit in class.
The laboratory equipment is old and obsolete. Hardly is there any instrument that works? Students are expected to work in such lab conditions and conduct experiments. Most of the time the teacher himself has no idea about the lab experiments. The worst part is that students have to be dressed in formal.
I will suggest you reconsider your decision if you are planning to take this branch.
