Coimbatore Institute of Technology: 1 Answered Question

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Coimbatore Institute of Technology?

Yatika Mehla
Avik SarkarB.E. Computer Science Engineering, Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India (2020)

One of my friends graduated from this college in 2020 and following are his recommendations to the juniors as per his recent experience.

Networking 

  • You need to build a good network of friends. It will help you in your career development. 
  • Try to remain in contact with students who are good in academics. You do not have to be perfect but maintain a healthy circle around you. 
  • You shouldn’t deprive yourself of having fun, but don’t lose your main focus. 

Hostel Life

  • The hostel life of CIT will provide you with a memorable stay. 
  • CIT Alumni can survive in any worst situation as they survived their stay in the hostel.
  • You must accept your living environment with a positive and happy attitude.
  • There are four boys hostels in CIT- Palani Hostel, Malai hostel, Thirumalai Hostel and Vellingiri hostel. You will experience everything in these hostels during your course.

Food at Mess

  • Breakfast and Lunch will be fine but dinner is the worst. You might not like it but you will get used to it. 
  • There are many restaurants around the college campus as a backup. One among them is Lakshmi Mess is quite popular among students.

Water Facility 

  • Drinking water facilities in the hostel might get out of order sometimes. If you face such issues simply ask your hostel warden to get it fixed. 
  • You can also buy water cans temporarily or use boiled water.

Academics

First Year

  • Your first and second semester will not be tougher. Maintain a good CGPA from the first semester itself. 8 CGPA is good in my opinion.
  • Due to the strict curriculum, you will not get enough chances to contact your seniors. 
  • You will be more involved in exploring and understanding your department. 

Second Year

  • You will feel the course load during semester 3. But don't lose hope. 
  • Be prepared to face laboratory projects and assignments. Don't feel too much pressure, just set your time accordingly and learn from it.

Till semester 4 you will know everything about your department and college. Try to participate in different activities as much as you can.

Third-year

  • Semester 5 syllabus is more advanced than your previous semesters. Make use of it, as it is the first step towards your career. 
  • Apart from your academics, participate in workshops and conferences and make yourself ready for the industry. Work on your aptitude and interview skills. 

Final Year

The sixth and final semester is very important, where the placement scenario comes from. Don’t worry if your friends get placed, just work on your aptitude and interview skills, and apply to several companies. 

Do not worry much about the first year, just follow the above rules and enjoy your college life.
