A detailed campus review
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum at Chettinad College of Engineering and Technology (CCET) is largely comprehensive and relevant, which significantly influenced my decision to enroll. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals and includes practical components that are crucial for real-world applications. Courses are designed to be industry-aligned, offering both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience through labs and projects, which prepare students well for both professional careers and further academic pursuits. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in integrating more contemporary topics like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data analytics, which are increasingly important in today's tech-driven landscape. Additionally, the teaching methods could be enhanced by incorporating more project-based learning and industry case studies to better reflect real-world scenarios. The frequency and timing of exams are well-planned.
PROS AND CONS
Placement Experience :
8th semester students are only eligible to attend the campus interviews based upon the criteria provided by the company. Wipro, Infosys, Zoho, chettinad cement, etc... are visit this college. Highest salary package is 9LPA lowest package is 1lpa and average 3 - 4 LPA. Percentage of the students selected for the placement is 50% in that students got selected by the company are 35%. Only 10% from the whole strength are getting placed with good job and package. My plan aftery graduation is do some specialisation courses try to get placed in top companies with higher salary package.
