Yes, the use of smartphones is permitted in the hostels of Karuna University and the premises of the campus. However, I would advise you that you do not use smartphones on the campus of the university, especially during lectures. If you are caught with a mobile phone by a faculty member or lecturer during class hours, then they would confiscate your phone. Some of them may return it by the end of the college hours, but some of them may not return it. This is why it would be better for you to not use your smartphones on campus during college hours.
In case you do bring along your cellphone to the college, make sure that you keep it in your bag and use it at the canteen or before and after college hours. You can also use your smartphones in restrooms or vacant classrooms.
Smartphones can be used any time in the hostel of the university, but I would recommend that you do not use them during study hours because you never know when the SRA would come for attendance. Be cautious during the study hours which are usually scheduled between 8:30 to 10:30 PM.
The rules and regulations vary every year at Karunya University. This is how my brother spent his college life during the academic sessions of 2012-2016.
According to some of my friends studying at Karunya University in Coimbatore, it is a very popular university with a great location. Here are some things you should know about the institution.
Hence, there is no quality education or better support provided to the students and neither are the faculty members well qualified and experienced. But the environment of this college is very good and the lab facilities provided are also decent.
I completed my B.Tech from Karunya University, but I can tell you a bit about Sathyabama as well.
Sathyabama offers decent academics, good quality mess food, and good placements. But it is located very far away from the main city (Chennai). Moreover, its infrastructure is not up to the mark. Its biggest disadvantage is that students of the opposite gender are penalized for even interacting with each other. Boys and girls are separated right from the counseling process.
Karunya University is located in a beautiful and serene landscape, and surrounded by mountains on all sides. It has good infrastructure and quality education. Its placements are average. Its hostels are good, and the mess food is good as well. It has strict rules only for first years. It has a diverse student population, with students from other Indian states and countries as well. Hostel is mandatory for B.Techs, but not for some degrees.
It charges high fees, and some of its departments have poor placements. The rules are very strict about clean shaving. The faculty takes out personal grudges on students’ internal grades. Most of the hostels are located far away from the campus.
According to me, Anna University affiliated colleges are much more affordable for B.Tech studies. So you may consider them instead of these two universities.
The entrance examination of Karunya University is not at all tough to crack. You just need to be thorough with the class 12th syllabus. General ethics might create a bit of a problem because of insufficient data, apart from that it is very easy. My brother wrote the test in 2016 and scored 326.
The selection process of the university is quite lenient. Try to secure a rank below 500, and you are good to go. There is nothing to panic about the test.
During the admission process, based on ranks the students are called. If you have a rank above 1200 then you might not get the department of your choice.
There are various kinds of facilities available for the students inside the campus and hostels of this university. And there is even a gym for both boys and girls in their respective hostels.
Hence, there are gyms available in both boys’ and girls’ hostels and the facilities and equipment available inside the gyms are very good. You can maintain your body and stay fit by doing a regular workout at these gyms.
A lot of my friends studied at Karunya University. According to them, Karunya University is very popular and reputed with great placement opportunities.
Hence, you can get easily selected in campus placements if you can maintain a good CGPA and possess very good knowledge and understanding of your subjects.
To get the information about the holidays at Karunya University, you can easily check them by going through the holiday calendar that the University furnishes every year. If you don't have the holiday calendar, you can directly access it by visiting the website. The holiday calendar is available on the official website.
Particularly, in the odd semesters, the holidays were to be scheduled at the end of May and would continue until June end. While in the even semesters, the procedure goes like school holidays. In the month of Christmas, the holidays usually began from around 19th/20th December and would end till the first week of January.
I have a few friends from Karunya University and here are some of the information about the hostel facilities according to them.
Room:
The facilities of the hostel room of the Karunya University includes room for four students where there are two double-decker beds, four tables, four cupboards, and one mirror available. However, there is no TV provided in any room but there is a single TV available in the hostel for students to watch anything whenever they like to.
Food: The food that is being provided to the students at the hostel mess is quite good and hygienic.
Gym: There is a gym for students, where they have to pay just rupees 500 each semester and get access to every other piece of equipment available there.
Newspaper: The Hindu newspaper is provided daily in the hostel to be up to date with what’s happening in the world and around.
Shops: There are various shops available for the students as per the requirement such as:
Overall, the facilities at Karunya University hostels are good and you can happily stay there with the facilities available.
You can get admission to the CSE branch of Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (Deemed University) formerly known as Karunya University by appearing for its entrance exam known as KEE.
You should have at least scored a minimum of 50% marks in your 12th standard without which you will not be given admission.
If you want, you can visit the college, talk with some authorities and you can get a branch of your choice. It is quite easy to get admission here.
