There is no dress code at IET Lucknow. You can wear anything except sleepers, a nightdress, and anything that isn't appropriate for classes. However, I will suggest that you dress up smartly always as long as you can because eventually as you will get along with the later years of engineering.

You will realize that most of the time you will want to simply go to lectures in simple lower and shirts. So my suggestion is that as long as you are not being tapped by this feeling, dress up smartly, and you will notice the change in yourself.

Dressing up smartly doesn't mean going for brands and wearing expensive clothing. Live your college life as a student, just a normal life with minimal needs.

There are both pros and cons regarding the EI branch in IET Lucknow. The important ones are listed below:

Pros: 

• IET Lucknow being a recognized institute provides excellent exposure to the students belonging to the EI branch. They are directly in contact with the market and industries which gives them the practical aspect of the course. 
• Seniors at IET Lucknow are really helpful and act as a good mentors with really good guidance. 
• Students from the EI Branch are recruited by Tech giants such Wipro, AQ, TCS, Tech Mahindra and etc. If you are good at coding and programming, then you will receive great offers.
• IET Lucknow conducts lots of extracurricular activities to build up your personality and they vary in such a way that everyone can do something according to their interest.

Cons: 

• The professors in EI Branch are average in their fields. They have no awards in their respective branch. 
• Students have to stay on good terms with the professors otherwise they deduct marks. 
• Moreover, EI and EC are handled by a single department and EC gets more preference and support from the department.

Moreover, IET Lucknow is a top-ranking institute and various students have topped in GATE. The competition is also low and you can go for it.

One of my friends is an alumnus of IET Lucknow, and according to him, IET Lucknow has no official dress code in particular. You can wear casuals. At the beginning of the first year, there is an induction program of 21 days where the college suggests having a dress code. But nobody adheres to this rule. However, in the Electrical department, students need to wear shoes instead of slippers.

But just because there is no dress code does not mean you can come to the college wearing inappropriate clothes. It is better to put on presentable clothes that reflect your personality and who you are. 

If you have secured a seat at IET Lucknow, then you must have performed well academically. Now, when shifting your concern to the fee structure, then you will have to pay an amount of around INR 52,825 as the primary tuition fee. Alongside the tuition fees, if you are planning to opt for a hostel in the later stage, then it can amount to at least INR 10,500.

Besides the tuition fee and your subsequent hostel fees, you also have to follow up with the submission of a certain security fee as well, which amounts to at least INR 5,000, forming a subtotal of INR 63,325 + INR 5,000.

Other than that, if you have secured a fee waiver seat, then you might have to pay about INR 23825 as the tuition fees alongside the charges mentioned formerly, forming a subtotal of about INR 34,825 + INR 5,000.

According to my friends from IET, the sports facilities on campus are decent. Every hostel has been equipped with one TT table, alongside one Badminton court. In fact, there is the provision of a main ground inside the college campus where you can play different forms of sports, such as football, cricket, and several other outdoor games. 

Alongside the available football and cricket ground, the college also offers one lawn tennis court. Students also enjoy the sports fest conducted every year by the college community, inviting several outside teams to compete. 

If you have the skills, then you can also get the opportunity to represent the college in the sports fest of IITs and other colleges. 

It will be better if you prepare for NIMCET because the condition of MCA is not so good in IET Lucknow. One of my friends pursued an MCA course at IET Lucknow and here’s what he has to share about it -

• The faculty team at IET Lucknow allotted to the MCA course are mostly guest faculties and they are not good enough to complete the whole syllabus.
• Placement is also not very good and only 4 to 5 companies allow MCA students to sit in the campus drive every year.
• Only some students are recruited through on-campus placements.

It is suggested that you should try for better options as well. However, make sure you choose wisely as this will decide your career path.
