How good is KLE Technological University?

KLE Technological University is a very popular and reputed university. But like any other university, it also has some advantages and disadvantages. Some of my friends are from this institute, and here’s what they have mentioned about it.

Advantages:

• KLE Technological University is an autonomous university so it has an edge over VTU or any other educational body.
• The infrastructure is very beautiful and spacious. Life at the college campus is completely enjoyable.
• There are also various sports and cultural events held at the campus.
• This university focuses more on practical-based learning rather than relying on old-school methods or more bookish learning.
• The students are assigned to make projects from the 1st semester itself.
• The coding culture of this college is very good and it also has a start-up culture.
• New ideas by students are appreciated and encouraged.
• There is also a UPSC training block inside the campus. It provides coaching to the students who want to prepare for IAS/IPS exams.

Disadvantages:

• This university is located at Hubli, so there will be a lack of opportunities for the students to visit the industrial sites.
• Most of the students studying here think that engineering is easy and thus they are not focused on their studies. This affects the competitive environment and makes the students careless.
• The seniors are not cooperative.
• The placements are mediocre.
• Companies that participate in the placement drive are mass recruiters like TCS or IBM. They generally offer students lower packages.

Hence, KLE Technological University is a mediocre college. If you want to study there it is completely your choice. If you are interested in appearing for UPSC exams you can go for it. Other than that, this college does not really stand out.
