JECRC CSE Fee Structure and Scholarships

Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre is one of the best colleges in Jaipur. Currently in my first year in branch CSE, I am mostly satisfied with the overall opportunities which are provided by the college. The placement for this year 2024 batch is 33 LPA highest offered by Amazon and average package is of 6.5 LPA with almost 90 percent placement rate. This college is spread across 8 acres area with two cafeterias, two small grounds, 5 academic blocks and one NBC café. One can get into through REAP counseling after giving JEE Mains or through 12th boards percentage. In 2024, CSE cutoff was more than 88 percentile and last branch closed at 60.

Currently pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, I got this through REAP 2024 counseling with a percentile of 93. The total seat in CSE is 420 and overall intake is 1280. One can get in this college through direct admission on 15% seats which fills out in April. JECRC is affiliated to RTU Kota and there are 2 semester exams conducted by RTU with 2 midterms which takes place at college level. Although the curriculum is bit old but the teachers are good which makes it easier to tackle problems related to academics. An excellent library which is Rajasthan's biggest and good labs which offers great practical knowledge.

The overall fees of the B.Tech Program are Rs. 3, 84,000 with Rs. 48,000 per semester. The fees of hostel are Rs. 90,000 which is paid annually at once. There is a onetime fee of Rs. 7000 which is paid at the time of admission. Limited scholarships are there for brilliant students who score well in JEE MAIN, they get 95% fee waiver per year with only Rs. 5000 rupees to be paid annually. Scholarships are only on academic basis not on category basis. 5% seats out of 1280 seats are reserved for merit students.

The faculties for first year are mostly good some can be average. All of them hold M.Tech and Ph.D degrees in their respective specialisation. Almost 95% faculties are from private universities and some hold their degree from NITs and IITs. Mode of teaching is blackboards and ppt slides both along with practical labs which are excellent. As this year the intake has increased from 1000 to 1280 the ratio of teacher to student has decreased, on 60 students there is a teacher and in labs on 30 students there are 2 teachers. Although the teaching style is old but the knowledge they deliver along with practical examples makes the faculties of JECRC Foundation one of the best in Jaipur.

In 2023-24, the placements were phenomenal as the highest package has reached 33 LPA from Amazon and some other product based recruiters also gave 20-25LPA in-campus. The average package of the CSE branch stood at 6.5 LPA while the overall branches stood at 5 LPA. Some of the known recruiters who came for the campus drive are - Capgemini, Accenture, TCS, Adani, Flipkart, L&T, Bajaj, Service-now, etc. The students are given assistance through CRT or campus recruitment training a program run by JECRC Foundation placement cell 3-4 month before placements season, which provide students assistance on HR interviews, GD rounds, coding competitions and many more. Although I am in first year but listening from seniors, Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre has one of the best placements in Rajasthan.

There are only 2 boys and 1 girl’s hostel which provides rooms to outside Jaipur students mostly. The intake (200) is very less when compared to the seats in the college. The boys and girls hostel are double sharing with Cooler and AC respectively. The quality of mess food is okay not very bad, three time meals are provided along with snacks in evening. The fee of boy’s hostel is Rs. 90,000 and Rs. 1,10,000 for girl’s hostel due to AC. there is one badminton court in each hostel along with common rooms with no sports and gym equipment that is bit downgrade. The hostel timing for both boys and girls are from 6AM to 10PM along with regular attendance taken by the wardens.

The campus is 8 acres and located in Sitapur locality which is a fine area. The classrooms are both school type and college type. But when it comes to auditorium, library, seminal halls and club rooms they have a solid infrastructure. Again coming to a downside of college is that it does not have sports facilities and medical room, there is only basketball and football ground. The bus facilities are provided for less than 40km radius to Jaipur students only with Rs. 32000 yearly fees. There is a newly opened café NBC in the c-block.

Coming to the overall campus life, I would say it average as we in college don't only want studies only but also extracurricular which are average in Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre. The crowd of campus is good and most students are from urban cities while some come from small towns. In Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre, there are several clubs for coding, photography, PR and media, dance, singing and meditation. In these Marvel Cart (coding club) and Avyaan (singing club) gather most attention among the students. College organises an annual event Renisance in the month of march for 3 days along with several festive Events like - Navratri event called "Navrang" and a "Halloween" event in November. There are two exceptional clubs in our college who have won national medals in IITs and NITs, they are Moonriders (robotics club) and Face & Footlights (drama club). Finally, taking a final call on JECRC Foundation, I would say it a placement driven college giving a few extracurricular opportunities. Although, you will not get bored in the college.
