The correct college to choose from the many options that are
available. The question then arises of how to decide a college when there are
thousands of engineering colleges in India. In this article we will discuss
some of the features of colleges which will help you choose the right college.
There are various factors one should keep his/her mind while deciding a college
for admission: The ordeal sometimes it seems is not clear the examinations but
later on making a decision about
Infrastructure:
This is the most important factor while choosing a
college. Infrastructure does not only mean a good looking building. It means
that whether a college has sufficient amount of infrastructure according to its
intake capacity. It includes classroom, administrative building, workshop,
computer labs, various laboratories etc. Because during your four year of
graduation you need all these things, so keep it your first preference while
choosing a college.
Faculty:
The infrastructure cannot be the only choosing factor when
deciding a college. After having a sufficient infrastructure it is the faculty
that makes it useful, otherwise it will be a school without a teacher. Always
have a look on college faculty which includes professors, reader, lecturer,
teacher-student ratio, visiting faculty, teaching experience etc.
Facilities:
This is another important factor that you have to keep in your
mind. Facilities provided by college assist you during your college period.
This includes library, internet, intranet, hostels, seminar halls, dispensary,
student clubs, gym etc.
Placements:
This is the most important factor while deciding a college. It
does not mean that it is the first and last criteria to choose a college.
Placements of a college depend upon many factors like its infrastructure,
faculty, facilities provided by college to its students, college rank, past
performance of the students in company, and last but not the least individual
talent and personality and many more factors. Have a look on past placement
record of college, branch wise, as well as company wise. So keep all the things
in mind while deciding a college.
Extracurricular activities:
This is also one of the factors that should be taken into
account because "all work and no play make jack a dull boy" indeed.
This stands true because not only do you have to study but you also have to
survive in a competitive environment and for that you have to be a develop an
all rounder personality. Extracurricular activities play a very important role
in your personality development. So have a look about extra activities provided
by college like, annual function, sport function, students club, seminars and
workshops, industrial training, social activities, NCC, NSS etc.
Location:
This factor does not play a very important role but if it is
nearby any industrial or software hub then it may be slightly useful to you as
far as your industrial training and placement is concerned but keep this factor
at last.
So now question which arises is that how you can get so much of
information about each and every college. Here are some simple tips for you:
1. Visit the college web site on Internet
2. Consult your seniors
3. Visit the college personally, if possible
