Stuff they mostly lie about at Engineering Colleges

---

We have a great infrastructure

Apart from the IITs and a few good colleges here and there, there is no such thing as an engineering college in India with an infrastructure. What they really mean by that word is that they have an a decent looking structure built that looks so amazing when you look at it that it makes you wanna get an admission here. Once you cross the Lakshman rekha or whatever, that’s when you realize the dingy inner structure of the college. For the first whole month you’re keen on searching out the entire campus area for that great infrastructure and those things they showed you on the glossy college prospectus during admissions. Expect engineering colleges in India to have computer labs without computers, workshops without electricity and classes without teachers, desks. The tall claims of ISO certifications and approvals by AICTE are clearly bought using large sums of money.

Admissions are only on merit basis

This is one line they don’t mind printing in bold letters. However it’s the biggest lie engineering colleges tell to the world. Getting an admission in such engineering colleges in India is as easy as getting popcorn during the movies. In fact easier than that. A huge number of engineering colleges have cropped up across the country so there’s no shortage of seats in such colleges. If your parents have enough money to spend on you then you might just buy your own ticket to an engineering college of your choice near your home. Management quotas in private self financed engineering colleges are all about making money and giving out admissions to the least deserving.

We have the best faculty

For any good engineering college the faculty is one major factor that plays an important role in shaping up the image of the college. It’s important because teachers have a direct role to play in imparting knowledge to students. Most engineering colleges here face shortage of staff in the faculty. As a result you’ll find one teacher tied to several subjects and sometimes the teacher isn’t even qualified to teach such subjects. So you end up in a class of about sixty students staring at an unqualified faculty member who is as clueless as a chicken in a strip club.

We have a 100% placement record

Almost all engineering colleges especially the private ones claim they have a 100% placement track record. Most of them totally lie about it. Who cares? Some even place their students for a salary that’s lower than what you pay your gardener. It’s a fact that mostly the top 20% of the cream in these engineering colleges make it to the top companies.
