Soumya Shukla's Review on United College of Engineering Research, [UCER] Allahabad

Companies coming for recruitment in campus placement drive are less. The best one among IT companies is infosys,which is a mass recruiter, but in recent years has hired a lot less. Most of the other companies are primarily marketing based, the best one among them is BYZU's, that offers a package of 9 lacs p.a.

There are two hostels, one for boys and one for girls. The hostel fee is around 90,000 per annum. There are plenty of PGs and other hostels outside college, that are both close to college and are budget friendly. However these other options are only available for boys, for girls the PG's available are situated at some distance from college. Food available in college food courts is good and pocket friendly too. The college infrastructure is quite good, classrooms, library, college auditorium, labs are all built well. Wi-fi is available only in selected areas.

Admissions are based on upsee entrance examination. They are also based on direct admission on the basis of percentage scored in intermediate board.

Classes are totally based on conventional learning methods, where mostly notes are provided by the subject teacher. There is a huge pressure by the college management to have a high attendance in classes, failure of which will make you get debarred from the sessional examination as a result people have to come to college regularly. 

The course fee for Btech per annum is 1,07,000. Scholarships are available from the uttar pradesh government based on annual family income of students.

There are student societies that conduct competitions annually. Main college festival is Enigma, which consists of cultural, tech and management competitions. The event ends with a band night where a celebrity is invited to perform. Singer/artists like Amit trivedi, kk, Amit mishra are the ones who have been part of this. College life is pretty dull as various extracurricular activities, events are held only once in a semester, otherwise routine college activities consists of attending classes only.
