The college organizes a number of events from time to time. I like being a part of such events because they teach event management and other skills. The college provides various sports activities for students to stay fit.

I scored good in 10th standard and therefore I took Science as my stream in 11th &12th. But in12th boards, I didn't score well. That's why I was not able to get into a good engineering college. Then, I decided to do a Diploma in Electronics and Telecommunication. I completed my Diploma with 80% marks. After the diploma, I decided to do engineering so I started researching for reputed colleges in Pune to pursue engineering.

There are some seats reserved for Diploma students in various engineering colleges for admission. There is an online process to get direct admission into second-year (DSE) in engineering courses for Diploma students. This process starts after the result declaration of Diploma courses. 
There is no entrance exam conducted for admission. The students are selected on the basis of their score in Diploma. Since there was no entrance exam, I didn't opt for any coaching. I also tried for other colleges like COEP Pune, PICT Pune, AISSM Pune but due to high merit, I didn't get admission in any of these colleges.
At last, I chose JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering, Pune.

I applied for all the reputed college through the online process. After the 1st merit list, I got JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering. The college is good in terms of placement as more than 80% of students get jobs from the college every year. The placement for Computer and IT department is more than other branches.

After getting admission, there is a document verification process after which fees is paid and admission is confirmed. In the beginning, there are separate classes organized for DSE students to cover the syllabus. If you have not done a Diploma course then you can take admission in engineering colleges through various entrance exams like JEE, MHCET etc. The student's score in these exams makes him eligible for admission in engineering colleges. 

 

The college provides good hostel facility in the campus itself which also saves students' time and energy of commutation. The girls' hostel has good security for the safety of girls. The library is fully air-conditioned and the students can study in the library for as long as they want. There are some smart classrooms provided for better learning. Various well-equipped laboratories are available for experiments and practicals. The batch of 2019-2020 is the first autonomous batch in this college. For these batches, there are good facilities available.

The college timings are 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. We have 4 lectures and 1 practical class in which each lecture is of 1 hour and practical is of 2 hours. Monthly attendance is monitored from the start. At the end of every month, defaulters' list having names of with less than 75% attendance is declared. 
Each class is allotted a mentor under the GFM (Guardian Faculty Member) Scheme. The GFM monitors the attendance and growth of students. The students have to take his permission or inform him regarding any leave from the college. I am very much interested in attending the practical sessions because I can a lot of knowledge through them.

The college organizes a number of events from time to time. I like being a part of such events because they teach event management and other skills. The college provides various sports activities for students to stay fit. The college also organizes a technical event Technofest.

I have participated in various inter-college sports tournaments and technical events like Robowar, Robotace, MESA etc. I have also taken part in various departmental events and quizzes.

I am working with the Training and Placement Department of the college as a training and placement executive. As a training and placement executive, I have learned many things.
It has helped me to build my confidence and enhance my communication skills.
