Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University - [JNTUH], Hyderabad - Affiliated Colleges

One of my friends graduated from JNTUH in Transportation Engineering. Here is his review of the M.Tech courses offered at JNTUH.

• According to him, the academic environment of the institute is not that great. It is especially true for the Civil Engineering Dept. The department has experienced professors but they hardly take the classes. Obviously, it is not true for everyone but most of the professors are more engaged in their consultancy work than teaching. 
• The lab assistants are also not cooperative. If you don’t have a good relationship with them, then your project work can't go smoothly and it will take longer than the estimated time.
• The placement record for M.Tech branches at JNTUH is not that great. According to the recent placement highlights, the placement average for M.Tech is around 75% and the average CTC offered is around 9 LPA. 
• Regarding research, if you don’t have any new ideas for doing research then you will be given a research abstract, which was previously completed but with slight variations in it. The professor doesn’t encourage students to take on new research topics. 

According to my friend, it’s better to keep JNTUH as your second preference. Choose Osmania University, if you have an option. 

Doing an M.Tech in EC is better at JNTUH. Though Osmania University is an old institution with a history of more than 100 years, it lacks in PG and Ph.D. courses.

JNTUH on the contrary has a good reputation along with great infrastructure and strict guidelines in terms of the faculty members. The university cross-checks the background of each faculty member who will be teaching the students every year. 

The following table shows a brief insight into both institutions: 

In terms of curriculum, JNTUH follows the latest syllabus and has a strict attendance system. It has a biometric attendance system and you can be detained if you have less than 75% attendance. If you are looking forward for higher education in engineering, go for JNTUH.

The fee structure at JNTUH for the popular courses is as follows. 

• B.Tech: INR 1.19 lakhs.
• M.Tech: INR 3.09 lakhs.
• MCA.: INR 3.06 lakhs.

All the fees mentioned above are for the first year. The fee for IDDMP courses is INR 70,000 per semester.

The structure of the fees also depends on the reimbursement of the same and the Management Quota. The fee reimbursement candidates get an exception of fees of INR 35,000 and they will have to pay a fee of INR 65,000 a year.

The candidates in the management quota have an understanding with the college department that is mutual. The bracket price comes around to 4 or 5 lakhs once you have completed the degree.
