Academics & Faculty :
The teachers are very qualified ones. However, the course needs upgradation. It still includes age-old methods which have been thrown away by industries a long time ago due to their inefficiency. However, anything new is taught briefly and we are kept in touch. The method is teaching involves mainly notes, however, some of the faculty have a different way of teaching which is a bit brain refreshing. Assignments are average but they are given out mainly near the end semester examinations which increases the pressure.
Entrance Exams & Admissions :
A state-level examination called as CEE, an abbreviation of Common Entrance Examination, marks the 1st phase of the eligibility criteria. Students that have passed their 12th examination are eligible to appear for CEE. Once the cutoff is set, given a particular number of students receiving marks from the highest and in descending order, the students come for admission on dates as per their CEE marks and any other quota if present. The examination is a total of 300 marks, consisting of papers of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, each of 2 hours. Each paper consists of 100 questions carrying 1 mark. It is an MCQ based paper with 4 options. A correct answer gives +1 mark and there is no negative mark. The branch that I took, i.e chemical engineering has an average demand, with the highest demands in mechanical and civil engineering.

AEC has a very strong network of alumni. Most of the recruiters are passed out actions of batches from the 60s - 90s.
