I have really enjoyed studying here at the GCE, Salem, and here some key aspects of my experience.
Placements: GCE Salem has a great placement record. During the last placement season, major stalwarts including Accenture, TITAN, ARCADIA, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, and Siemens visited campus. The highest package was 7 lakh per annum, while the average package was around 3.5 lakh per annum. The placement cell is quite active and provides students with large-scale training and preparation for interviews.
Infrastructure: GCE Salem features a well-maintained campus with modern facilities. Classrooms are equipped with the latest teaching aids, and laboratories are stocked with advanced equipment. The comprehensive library offers a wide range of books, journals, and digital resources. Students benefit from good Wi-Fi connectivity, sports facilities, and comfortable hostels with essential amenities.
Faculty: The faculty is one of the greatest strengths of our college. They have extensive teaching experience and always assist us with both academic and non-academic lessons. They consistently motivate us. The semester exams are not very difficult; if anyone attends classes regularly, they can easily pass. The passing percentage is always above 70%

Take a look and get to know about GCE Salem.
Placements: The placement is now average. About 50% of the students only got placed in my course at my college. The highest salary package offered in my course is 5 LPA and the lowest salary package is 1.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies are TCS, Wipro, and Infosys.
20% of the students got internships from my course at companies like Infinion and Teach Red Ltd.
Infrastructure: There are good facilities on the college campus. A wi-fi facility is available inside the campus. The libraries are filled with a huge amount of useful and the latest books and materials. The hostel food and accommodation are average but hygienic. Sports and games are organized now and then.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful in our studies. There are some well-experienced teachers. The curriculum is 50% relevant to our career development skills. However, the curriculum is not suitable for making the students industry-ready. The semester exams can be easily passed.
Other: I chose this course because of its affordability.

My research paradise with Angel.
Placements: Almost 95% of students were placed through campus placements; the rest were not enrolled for placement as they planned for higher education. The highest package stood at 14 LPA from Ford, while the lowest was 3 LPA from Aquagreen with a three-year bond. Most of the companies offered Graduate Engineering Trainee (GET) roles, and some were ready to offer associate-level roles. Companies like TCS, Tech Mahindra, JSW, Tekla Structure, and Nissan played a major role in our placements.
Infrastructure: The college management provides good and commendable facilities like Wi-Fi, a library, and smart classrooms, with well-experienced faculty members. You'll enjoy hostel life, although the hostel food is average; compared to other hostels, it's good for the price. There is no canteen on campus, but there are some shops outside the college.
Faculty: The curriculum is well designed, using both conventional methods to clearly understand core concepts and incorporating modern technology in our final year, where we gain industrial experience. The semester exams are at a moderate level, and the questions focus on understanding, making it easy to clear all the papers if we spend about an hour daily on our topics.
Other: The fest in the college is really awesome and serves as a stress buster for both students and faculty members. Events like the Tamil Mandram, English club function, and department functions provide special relief for students, especially for final-year students.

I have learned and evolved as a better engineer, and college won't restrict you in anything .
Placements: So yes, I am writing this review in May 2024, so our batch placements are going to start in July 2024 and so here I am going to share my senior placement records I know something better about placement because I am volunteering myself as a student placement coordinator. Our college has good placement record for the last few years For 2024, we hit 85% of overall placements and in 2024, Mech and EEE departments attained 100% placements, which is a huge milestone for any government college and Mech hit 100% consecutively in 2023 & 2024. Top recruiters are Larsen and Toubro, Hyundai, Sona comster, Zoho, Delhi TVS, Brakes India, etc. The highest package in college is 15 LPA, as in mech it is 8 LPA, and the lowest package was 2.4 LPA. The overall total average of college will be 4 LPA. Students are getting internship at various prestigious government organizations like NLC limited, steel plant in Salem, aavin, southern railways, NSIC, etc.
Infrastructure: There are many laboratories in my department more than 10 labs, starting from foundry to CNC labs. Our college has every lab which is required by the students and all the labs are in working condition with good potential staff. I am reviewing four stars due to the hostel, In hostel, the food is not too good afternoon is okay too good but hostel is cleaned frequently, three times a week, and we need to take care of our rooms that should be cleaned by them. A health center is available inside the hostel campus, and the ground is a hub for every sports activity in the district. There is a very big crowd, and the college is well known for its cricket. Wi-Fi is available in classrooms and departments and canteen also provides good meals at very affordable price. The library has the required books for our knowledge.
Faculty: The teachers are recruited by the TRB exams so they are skilled professors and most of them hold a doctorate. They teach from scratch and in every semester there is a chance of not covering portions of the last topic At that time, staff may skip important topics and exams are not so tough passing marks are 45% of the first mark; if in a subject the first mark is 90, the passing mark is 41, and the college offers an innovative program under Fab Lab, which is very useful. One person of 50 will be selected from the total college in the 6th semester, and I was the one who chose that program, which is also a great one because it makes engineering practical and boosts entrepreneurship.
Other: So I choose mechanical because I grew up in an environment where my father had a mill shop, so I have a huge interest in machines. The syllabus is old for our batch but our immediate juniors are learning the new syllabus, which is way better than us. There are many fests in colleges. Every department conducts two things in odd semester, inaugurating their association in even semester. The symposium will be held in all departments, and there are 8+ clubs in our college. Every club celebrates a function, and they support us by providing funds to go to other college culturals.

Review of Government College of Engineering, Salem.
Placements: The placement in this year is very poor everywhere. Even the placement drive has only a limited number of companies. Most of the companies are startups and they offer a very low salary package. The top recruiting companies this year are Infosys and Cognizant. The highest salary package offered is 5 LPA.
Last year, the placement drive was really good and we are hoping to get a better placement drive next year.
Infrastructure: The college is well-maintained, and the infrastructure is really good. There are a decent number of books in the library and the college has wi-fi facilities in every department. Hostel food is not that good, but the accommodations are really good in our college hostel. The college has excellent sports facilities and equipment. Many sports events are conducted every year.
Faculty: The teachers are good and well-experienced in their domain. The teaching quality is good, but the curriculum is partially relevant to our job. If the university had taken more steps to improve the curriculum, it would be better. The semester exams are conducted every 4 months, twice a year and the pass percentage is 50%.
