SKIT Jaipur is the Top Private Institute for Engineering

In terms of academics and extracurricular, SKIT Jaipur is a good institute. I consider it number 1 private institute in Jaipur. It is a career centric institute, which focuses on overall development of a student. I chose it because the placements and sports are good. There are coaches for sports. The team goes to many tournaments and even come back winning them. It creates engineers that are industry ready.

I am doing B.Tech in Electronics and Communications from SKIT Jaipur. I chose it because of high scope in Electronics. The admission happens through REAP counseling in which we have to register ourselves. Minimum 45 percent in boards is required along with appearing in JEE Main. I got 79 percentile in JEE Main, so I was eligible for this branch. On we can select the branch and the institute as a preference through REAP portal. Examinations happen 3 times a semester. There are two mid-terms and 1 end semester exam. The mid-terms are easy but the end sem is quite hard. The curriculum needs to be updated as per the current standards.

I belong to general category so I pay Rs. 57,000 per semester. For 1 year, the fee is about 1.14 Lakh. The total amount for 4 years is 4.5 Lakh. The charges under this fee structure include Rs. 5,000 tuition fee, Rs. 6,000 development fee, Rs. 7,500 caution money, Rs. 30,000 registration fee, and Rs. 1,500 RTU enrollment fee. For day scholar, the conveyance fee is Rs. 37,000 for 1 year. For hostlers, hostel fee is 1 LPA. If the student belongs to SC, ST or OBC category, they get reservation. For them, the fee is relatively less.

The faculty members are good. They are supportive and helpful. Most of the teachers are knowledgeable in the subjects they are teaching. However, some of them need to improve their style of teaching. Every teacher has different teaching method. Some only teach verbally, some provide notes. In Human Values subject, we indulge in a GD. Most of the faculties are always available for solving doubts and they know their stuff. If I go to a teacher with any problem, they won’t need a book to refer to. They know how to solve it. Most of the teachers are involved in writing research papers. The teacher student ratio is good. Every teacher has about only 30 students to handle at once. Teachers are very friendly. They help in career and even personal problems. We even play sports with some faculty members sometimes.

The placement is good in our institute. The placement cell guarantees placement to every student. 80- 90% students get placements in good companies. The cell in our institute helps each student by reviewing their weakness and helping them by showing them how to improve them. Like if someone's English is weak, they take help from some faculty members to improve it. There are many companies, which visit our institute like Microsoft, Cognizant, TCS, IBM, Infosys, and many more. Majority of students go to Cognizant with good packages. The highest package offered to a student was about 52 LPA while lowest being 2 LPA. The average package is about 8 to 9 LPA.

The rooms in the hostel are average. They are compact. There are about 500 to 600 rooms in the hostel. There is a GYM and badminton court in the hostel. The boy’s and girl’s hostels are separate from each other. Breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner are provide in the mess and the quality of the food is alright. But we still really miss homemade food. The hygiene is good but the taste is just alright. The hostel fee is Rs. 50,000 for 1 semester and Rs. 1,00,000 for a year. Hostel gates get closed at 9:30 PM.

The campus of SKIT Jaipur is small, as there are only 2 academic buildings. It is situated in a good locality where transportation is easy available and everything is reachable. There are different classrooms. Some are small and few are big. Some classrooms, which require laptops, are equipped with power sockets in each seat. The strength of my class is 70 to 75. The thing that I think should be improved is that the classrooms should be equipped with air conditioners as in the summers it gets hot. There are many academic facilities like library. The central library in our institute is big. It has a good seating arrangement to self-study, and has variety of books. There are also 2 huge auditoriums and 1 conference hall. The canteen can be improved. It has a big menu. It is well stocked and maintained. The sports facilities are good, there are a football/ cricket field, 2 volleyball courts, and 4 indoor badminton courts. There are coaches for all the sports. For transportation, there are many buses (AC and non-AC) the institute is well secured. There are CCTV cameras installed and security guards are always present. My personal favorite part about the infrastructure is the sports facilities. The grounds and the courts are really well maintained. They are one of my favorite places to hang out with my friends.

Overall campus life is not much exciting as there are only 2 to 3 events happening. The campus is very small. The crowd is alright. There are students from all over the country. There are almost 30 clubs in our institute, which are very active and actively conduct competitions. I am part of sports club, I play volleyball and I have even won the inter institute tournament. There are many extracurricular activities in our institute. There are many people coming to deliver speeches. Tech fest is also organized in which many interesting activities are there. There is an annual fest every year in which many performances happen. There is dance, music, and many sports tournaments. Even celebrities come in these fests. Nikita Gandhi is coming to perform in the one happening this year.
