I had graduated from this institute in the year 1998. Things have changed a lot from those times, apparently as always the case some changes might not be accepted but if you look into it in a much broader perspective it looks greener. When I graduated it was under Mangalore University and goes without saying there were lots of people who had come down to study because of Management Discretion (U know what I am talking ? :-)).
If you look into the education system of india for any college to maintain industry parallel curriculum and industry parallel infrastructures, the institute needs money. If UGC is till date is skeptical for giving grants to private colleges, it becomes obvious for any institute to demand money from some handful of students who can afford money.
However as per education standards I have enjoyed every bit of it. All of us who wanted to utilise it have utilised it to the fullest in their lives ( Most of them yes, I guess so).
Has high ratings in abroad and recommendations from this college has some good values on number of universities in US.
Higher education should be costly for the people who can afford it and for them to bear the burden of people who cannot afford it.
As per not giving weightage to HSC marks, even IITs does that, u get a rank in the ITTJEE and even if ur HSC percentage is 50% u get a seat. Because these institutes beleives more on their ability to evaluate the suitability of candidates for engineering rather than relying on their HSC marks, I see no problem in this.
It took really some time for this Institute to get a deemed university status (which the autorities were trying far before my days in MIT). Deemed university status should bring more exposure to this college and should give them more freedom to propagate the vision of education which they have to the rest of the world.
Because of good industry relations and solid alumni in India and abroad the institute still enjoys very good placement activities.
I would recommend this institute to any student who is seriously intersted in studies and who wants to utilise all the oppurtunities which he is going to get here
