There are many engineering colleges in Dehradun. The ordeal sometimes, it seems, is not clear the examinations but later on, deciding on the correct college to choose from the many available options. The question then arises of deciding on a college when there are thousands of engineering colleges in India. In this article, we will discuss some of the features of colleges that will help you choose the right college. There are various factors one should keep their mind while deciding on a college for admission:
Infrastructure: This is the most important factor when choosing a college. Infrastructure does not only mean a beautiful building. It means whether a college has a sufficient infrastructure according to its intake capacity. It includes a classroom, administrative building, workshop, computer labs, various laboratories, etc. Because during your four years of graduation, you need all these things, so keep it your first preference while choosing an engineering college in Dehradun.
Faculty: The infrastructure cannot be the only choice factor when deciding on a college. After having a sufficient infrastructure, the faculty makes it useful; otherwise, it will be a school without a teacher. Always look at college faculty, including professors, readers, lecturers, teacher-student ratio, visiting faculty, teaching experience, etc.
Facilities: This is another important factor that you have to keep in your mind. Facilities provided by the college assist you during your college period. This includes a library, internet, intranet, hostels, seminar halls, dispensary, student clubs, gym, etc.
Placements: This is the most important factor when deciding on a college. It does not mean that it is the first and last criteria for choosing a college. Placements of a college depend upon many factors like its infrastructure, faculty, facilities provided by the college to its students, college rank, past performance of the students in the company, and last but not the least individual talent and personality and many more factors. Have a look at past placement records of the college, branch-wise, and company-wise. So keep all the things in mind while deciding on an engineering college in Dehradun.
Extra curricular activities: This is also one factor that should be considered because “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” indeed. This stands true because you have to study, but you also have to survive in a competitive environment, and for that, you have to develop an all-rounder personality. Extracurricular activities play a very important role in your personality development. So look at extra activities provided by the college like annual functions, sports functions, students club, seminars and workshops, industrial training, social activities, NCC, NSS, etc.
Location: This factor does not play a very important role, but if it is nearby any industrial or software hub, it may be slightly useful to you as far as your industrial training and placement are concerned to keep this factor at last.
So now the question that arises is how you can get so much information about every college. Here are some simple tips for you:
1. Visit the college website on the Internet
2. Consult your seniors
3. Visit the college personally, if possible
4. Take the help of a counselor
