JECRC University's B.Tech in AI & DS: Eligibility, Fees & Career Prospects

The overall experience at the University is quite nice. Factors that let me choose this University is the co curricular activities held every now and then, which gives us the exposure on and off the field. The University provides you with a no ragging environment and helpful teachers. There are many activities like Hackathon, Cultural events, Technical events and Robowars, Sports events, trails for Football, Incubation Centre and Entrepreneurial conferences. Their teaching skills provide us the scope to start our own startup.

I am doing my B.Tech degree from this JU with specialization in AI and DS, which gives me Technical exposure. With my work experience from here, it will help me in getting better placement opportunities in future. There are eligibility criteria, which is, that you should have at least 65 percent in your 12th Board Exams. Exams are held monthly. Admissions process is done in offline and online mode both. The academic preparations are quite nice and teachers provide you with helping environment.

University fees is Rs. 2,300,000 per year according to my course, and Rs. 1,60,000 additional for mess and hostel, Rs. 1,35,000 for non AC rooms and 1,60,000 for the AC rooms. Scholarships are applied if you have secured more than 75 to 80 percent in your Boards Exams and more than 90 percentile in JEE Main. Scholarship opportunity is also given if you are a national player in any sport.

The faculties are quite experienced in the course I am studying. However, sometimes it feels like some of them are lacking in their way of teaching that could be improved. The background of the faculties is quite impressive as there are PhD holders. They do follow various kinds of teaching methods like smart boards, PPTs, Group Discussion and many more. The problem solving ability of the faculties are good but lacks in some faculty. They provides us with a good student teacher ratio of around 50:1, they share very friendly bond with the students and are available for any help anytime. I have a pretty nice experience with my teachers.

Placements cell in the University is very nice but only the creamy layer of students are given the higher packages. The cell helps the student with direct industrial exposure and mentoring with help of Alumni. CRT is held in the 3rd year of the University, which helps the student to modify themselves for the placements. many companies like Amazon, TCS, Blinkit and many more have visited the University in past years, with the average package of 6 to 6.5 lakhs and the highest 33 lakhs.

The University provides us with hostel facilities including AC and non-AC rooms. There are separate room facilities and clean drinking water with the fully secured environment. They also provide us with good maintenance and we free to register our complaint online, if we feel to do so. There is 1 girls’ hostel in campus, 2 girls’ hostels outside, 3 boys’ hostels in campus and 1 hostel for boys outside. 1,000 to 1,500 students can be on the dependency of the University’s hostels. There are, as such there are no recreational activities held in the hostel after University hours, the quality of the food in mess is not so good but is acceptable. However, definitely they should improve the taste of the food. Boys’ last entry time in hostel is 10 PM and for girls it is 9 PM. Rules are strict and include rules like; no allowance for high powered electrical appliances like, iron, induction, hot water rod, etc. and it's compulsory to be in rooms till 10 pm for the attendance.

Academic blocks of the campus have separate divisions according to the courses. Like there is Law Block, Engineering Block, etc and everything is systematic. Campus size according to me is very small and the locality is average. We have to travel minimum 13 KM to reach the Railway Station and minimum 15 KM for having a city tour. I feel like it is in the outer part of the city so it lacks in some faculties, but keeping that aside we have a hospital within 3 KM and a recreational site within 4 KM. classrooms are of two types; one can hold 40 to 50 students and one can hold more than 65 students. The infrastructure is average, but they have the digital support. The biggest problem is that they do not have AC installation. All the academic facilities like Seminar Hall, Library, and Labs are present but the University lacks in a Student Conference hall. All other facilities like sports, medical, canteen, and transportation are available. Security is quite good and impressive. My favorite place is the canteen area of the University as holds the memorable experiences with my fellow friends.

Overall campus life is not too good, but better from many. The University crowd is extremely high. There were about 8,500 admissions in 2024-25 session and they have the target of 10,000 in this session. There are many clubs according to the interest of the individual, like Singing, Dancing, Photography, Social Media, Event Management, etc. I am part of the Photography Club, by which I have improved my photography skills. There are many extracurricular activities running every day. Annual fest of the university is known as RHYTHM, which is the best source of recreational time in the entire University life. There are many competitions, games, DJ night, Fashion shows, Plays, etc. in the fest. In addition, frequently, some or the other big artist performs in the university. It feels like that University gives you so much and you have to grab it all until it's over. So yes I will rate the University life of JECRC University 4.5 out of 5.
