Satyam Premi's Review on Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University

Key companies that come for placements are mass recruiters like TCS and Infosys and only for branches like CS , IT and ECE . For other branches there are very little to almost negligble opportunities when it comes to placements . That is why they have to depend on competitive exams like GATE , IES and CAT . Alumni network is very well established and the college recently celebrated their 25th allumni reunion with '92 batch of IET Lucknow .

There are 3 girls hostels ( +1 in construction ) and 7 boys hostels for studens in IET Lucknow . Other options are also available and they cost around 3000 Rs per month outside the college . The food is almost good and performs well in terms of hostel food . It costs Rs 17000/- per semester with hostel room included . Quality of classrooms is quite good . A newly constructed lecture theater is very spacious and is good for teaching . Labs are average and equipments are outdated . Library is well equipped with vast amount of books related to science and technology . Wi-Fi in hostel works dodgy at times but provides good internet speeds . For 3rd and 4th year students , LAN ports are given in rooms of hostels and they have super fast internet speeds .

The eligibility criteria for UPSEE is minimum of 45% ( 40% for SC/ST candidates ) marks in Class 12th from any recognized board with Physics , Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects . The cutoff ranks for branches in IET Lucknow is as follows : CSE - 2700 EC - 4300 EE - 4100 ME - 3700 IT - 4000 CIVIL - 4200 These are for core branches in IET Lucknow

Daily routine is very light and rarely hectic . The classes are well balanced with lab classes so that everything works at tandem. Their are plenty of free slots in the time table so that students can utilize it by doing something of their own liking . The quality of teaching goes from average to good . Some teachers are really very qualified and will clear your doubts but some will just come and utter out the words from the book which you can easily go and study in your hostel rooms . My overall experience is good till now .

The course fees for B.Tech in IET Lucknow is Rs 58,825 per year . There are scholarships and fee waiver seats available for students coming from low income households .

Their are different societies for students to join according to their interests . Kalakriti - Arts society Drams - Dramatics society Insaniax - Choreo Team Swaranjali - Singing Team Parmarth - Social Club Swaranjali and Drams are the best performing clubs in IET Lucknow . They have won awards and trophies in IIT and IIM level competitions . Life in College is good . You will get friends and girlfriends here . You will be gutted for missing out on your dream NIT or IIT but soon you will settle down in the atmosphere and will start to enjoy the college life .
