Which is the best course in Thiagarajar College of Engineering?

MS
Mayank Singh Posted On : May 19th, 2021
BE Mechanical Engineering, Thiagarajar College of Engineering

Your subject preference should be completely based on what you are interested in. But CSE, EEE, and ECE are some of the popular courses at Thiagarajar College of Engineering.

ECE or EEE:

  • There is a Technology Business Incubator set-up on the campus, the TIFAC-CORE is only available at fewer places in India. It is a center of excellence for wireless technologies and is an anechoic chamber for several antenna testings and characterizations. 
  • This is the reason why opting for either ECE or EEE specializations can be the best. Not only you will have great exposure theoretically, but practically as well.

CSE or IT:

  • Opting for either CSE or IT can also be a good choice as well since they have the highest placement records over time, and several top-tier companies visit the campus placements, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Google, and various more. 
  • Alongside, Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE) has achieved the Best Student Branch Award for the CSE department by the Computer Society of India. Thus, it can be a brilliant choice to go for. 
  • Also, TCE has collaborated with multinational companies like Yahoo and Honeywell, and they provide great opportunities to the students.

These are some of the things that you should consider while choosing the right branch for you.

What is the scope of Mechanical Engineering in Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai?

AG
Anuj Gupta Posted On : July 15th, 2021
Studied at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai,Tamil Nadu, India

One of my close friends attends Thisgarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, and here is her insight into the Mechanical Engineering branch.

  • Despite the college being government-aided, the faculty is stellar with really good experience. All of them either have a Ph.D. or are pursuing one.
  • The department has also collaborated with TVS and the courses are now being restructured as per industry requirements. TVS starts monitoring students in the first year so that by the 4th year, they are ready to work there.
  • The labs are also fully well equipped with instruments like UTM, injection molding machines, and CNCs.
  • The alumni network is also quite strong. There are frequent get-togethers and meetings held at the department.
  • The teachers are also well renowned nationally in their fields of work. You will also receive support for higher education from the college for pursuing MS, ME, Ph.D., MBA, etc.
  • Despite the geographical drawbacks, the college has many top companies visiting for placements. But, due to the lack of mechanical industries around the college, securing an internship or work experience may prove to be difficult for you.
  • The courses offered might be a little restricted. Due to this, it might prove a little hard for you to secure a specialization in a specific field.
  • There are also only 120 students per batch of mechanical engineering admitted to the college. Because of this, it is quite tough to find like-minded people who share your interests and would like to work with you.

Thus, despite being a good college, every place has its pros and cons. In the end, it boils down to your interests and if the course curriculum fits your requirements.

RI
Rohini Iyer Posted On : November 4th, 2022
B.E from Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2016)

Whatever anyone says, a CGPA of 8.0 or higher is required to graduate. A CGPA of 10.0 is insufficient for a bright future. Try out all of the following activities. 

Enroll in sports, NCC, NSS, or cultural activities that interest you from the first year. When you graduate, you'll be extremely proud of your decision. Whatever extracurricular activities are planned, simply participate and do your best. Join a leadership club that molds you and exposes you to how a leader should/will act in all situations. Most importantly, put your leadership skills to the test whenever possible. 

Take your SIGs seriously and make sure you travel all over the country for project presentations. You end up improving your resume while also traveling with friends.

Finally, consider your college future as an investment in your future self. Do whatever you want. Enjoy life in the ways mentioned above.
