Srinivasa Institute of Engineering and Technology B.Tech Review By Prudhvi

Srinivasa Institute of Engineering and Technology is established in 2009 and approved by AICTE, the college is Accredited by NAAC with A grade. SIET is famous as a no ragging and no mobile campus. College atmosphere is very strict and no freedom is given to students. No fresher’s, no farewell, no stage events, the only event celebrated in college is tech fest and Sankranti fest. Some faculty is very friendly but the higher officials and security guards are very strict. You cannot go out once you enter into the college. Id proof is must to enter in between College hours. Library has great volumes but a person can access only 4 books at a time for a period of 7 days which is disheartening for students. Newspapers, journals, novels are also there but they are very limited.

Students don't enjoy college life here but the discipline learned inside Srinivasa helps students in future. Students leave college with a set of mixed experiences. First years college timings are different from rest of the years college timings. This is to make campus ragging free. Seniors are friendly, they help with everything from subject doubts to tips to getting first job. Even though little disheartened about the non joyful campus, I am happy for its discipline.

I have joined in Civil Engineering stream as it is one of my field of interests. The eligibility to join in SIET is 10+2 with 45% and rank below 130045 in AP EAMCET. The course subjects include Structural engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Transportation Engineering, RS & GIS and more. Being Civil Engineering a basic service needed by people, getting job in this field is easy where skill set is key. Since it is the oldest course the technologies we learn in colleges were basic hence taking courses to be up to date is important.

The beginner level job in civil engineering pays very low but in long run the pay grows exponentially with experience you gain in the industry. People feel Civil Engineering is easy stream to get degree but the fact is the stream is easy to learn as the examples of theories are right in front of us. Visiting construction sites helps students gain knowledge and experience to add in resume. Civil engineering companies don't visit Srinivasa so looking for jobs online should be a part of your to do list.

There are a minimum of 10 post graduates and a maximum of 20 post graduates as faculty. A total of 120 faculties in college with a minimum of 3 years of experience. Most of the faculties have Post graduation as qualification and a few have PhD. No matter what qualification they have every faculty try their best to transfer knowledge to students.

Top companies that visit SIET are TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, IBM, HCL, PayTM, FACE, Mindtree, ExperisIT, ValueLabs. Most of the companies that visit SIET are IT companies with a minimum package of Rs. 1.8L per annum and maximum package of Rs. 3.6L per annum. Every year 20 - 25% students get placed in IT and core companies. There are only 2 or 3 civil engineering companies visiting the campus. No coaching will be given specifically for core jobs. Coaching is given keeping IT companies in mind.

There are separate hostels provided for boys and girls. Boys and girls hostels are separated by polytechnic block in the centre. Hostels are very near to the campus and students are not allowed to visit hostel in college hours. Maximum 3 members per room and hostel students can visit library till 8pm. They can play games after college hours and spend some time to clear doubts with lecturers. The food in the mess is not too bad. Hostel wardens and security guards stay at hostel during night. There is a TV and Telephone provided in the hostel. Hostlers are allowed to play games after college hours. Girls are not allowed to step out of their hostel once entered.

The total area of SIET lies between 25 to 30 acres with 3 main blocks, polytechnic block, hostels, playground, mess, departmental store, management block, parking area, two temples and a beautiful garden. Class rooms are well furnished, fully equipped laboratories and computer labs with 3 servers and 350 computers. A conference hall for meetings and functions and a library with more than 5000 volumes of books. There is a departmental store for basic student needs. A room dedicated to emergency and health care which is the best if used. There are two temples one is Lord Sai Baba and others is Saraswathi temple. There is a pond and the Saraswathi temple is middle of the pond.

There are trees and plants everywhere which makes campus look green and gorgeous. There are benches near the pond to feel the fresh air and positive vibe outside. There is a bank and ATM inside the campus. There are about 25 buses to provide transportation to the students from far by places. The buses are old RTC buses and some are college buses. A bus pass is given to students to get access to transportation. Buses don't stop in the mid way for snacks or other requests. Students are allowed to step out of bus only at their daily bus halt station. There is huge empty space in college but no student is allowed to spend time outside classrooms. The security guards are given permission to take care of it. My favorite part of infrastructure is the boards of motivational and inspirational quotes places along the roads in the college. I read them every day and start my day on a positive note.

SIET never compromise on conducting Technical fests every year and it celebrates Sankranti festival to preserve traditional values in students. Workshops and seminars by experts are conducted two times in a year. SIET is famous for its no ragging and no cell phone in college rules. Which makes students feel disappointed but it helps students to focus on studies. First year of college is very bad to experience because everyone in the college from security guards to professors, everyone commands you. When one enter into core block students get a little freedom. College life is all about friends, if you can make good friends in college everything seems beautiful. If you have no one of your vibe it becomes difficult to exist in college, the rules make the situation more worse. Try to have friends and enjoy in the little space provided to you.
