Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research - An honest review
Likes
- Most faculty is well practiced in teaching
- Decent canteen food, although slightly over average prices.
Dislikes
- Boring college life as there are no clubs and events
- Overall bad campus with poor maintenance, small classrooms etc.
Remarks :
Main reason to select SICSR was to get away from home and explore. Live life individually. Symbiosis has a big name for itself as well. But the campus of SICSR particularly is not good. Just a single building which runs at full capacity almost all the hours which makes the place very crammed. You need to give a SET(Symbiosis Entrance Test) Exam to get into the college. the cutoff is really low so anything over 80 PERCENTILE guarantees you a spot. There is also and interview asking about your knowledge and other extra activities. Easy preperation for the SET test as it isn't that difficult. After getting into the college, theres alot of paperwork to be filed in very specific orders and formats. It gets a little confusing but not very bad.
Course Curriculum Overview :
BCA is an interesting course. The course curriculum is a little boring as it goes over the basics of every small thing and gets a little repetitive. But, that might just be me. Faculty is mostly good but some professors could get better.
Internships Opportunities :
I have not opted for internships yet but there are PLENTY of opportunities for internships with-in and outside of college. Internships relating or not to your course are available everywhere. Stipend depends on the internship.
Placement Experience :
I don't have much knowledge on the placements. I've overheard alot of seniors talking about extremely poor placements. Not many campus placements available. Highest package was offered in 2021 by Deloitte of rs26,00,000. Average package is 4,00,000. I personally am not going to apply for college placements.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The current fees is rs2,06,000 per year (for Indian students. Varies for international and NRIs). There can be an increase in fees every year of upto 12% for the first 3 years of BCA. To attend the 4th year( Hons.) there is a ?30,000 increase in annual fees
Campus Life :
No room for extra curricular activities. As the campus is already really small, there are no events that take place. No creative clubs exist. This makes college life boring and repetitive. No free parking for students either as it is a rented building. The other campuses of symbiosis are FAR better than ours. Decent availablity of books in library (mostly course related books). Classrooms are small and crammed full of people.No clubs, Sports, Websites etc. Of someone wants to participate in an extracurricular activity, He/She needs to apply for them in other colleges. There are also no computer labs in the college. Being an computer science branch, this is a bad thing. There are computer labs but not even a single computer works in there.
Hostel Facilities :
I haven't opted for college hostel as they ran out of availability very quickly. The hostel isn't even in the same building or campus. It's 3 to 4 kms away from the college in a different symbiosis campus. However, There are alot of nearby third party hostels as well as flats for bachelors available.

CSD at KKWIEER: A perfect blend of tech and creativity
Placement Experience :
The placements & job opportunities in the campus placements is good in our college like honestly it is good and also it is reason for students to take admission because there are many company coming to college. The average package is around i will say is 4.5lpa of all branches and here ENTC and MECHANICAL branch have more than 96% placement rate The highest package is of 22lpa which was from CS. The ground reality the percentage of students placed from this college is around 70% like the core branches students have higher placement rates and technincal branches placement rate is of around 70%-80% the core branches students also gets placed in tech. The main recruiters are TCS,ESDS,WIPRO,TECH MAHINDRA,INFOSYS,L&T and more. NVIDIA was also there but last year they banned the college because some students cheated in online interview.
An industry focused learning experience
Placement Experience :
I haven't reached my placement stage yet but from what I have seen the college doesn't wait until the final year to start preparing students. We have coding sessions, skills building workshops and career guidance from the beginning. Seniors also share their experiences which gives us a better idea of what to expect. I feel the college is helping us build the right foundation for internships and placements. At the same time, I think getting a good job also depends on how much effort we put into improving our own skills. So far I feel I am on the right track

Symbiosis School of Economics
Placement Experience :
The number of companies coming for campus placements go down with each passing year. The companies that do come (TresVista mostly) are quite poor in terms of work ethic and payout methods. This year, around 40-45 students from the graduating batch got campus placement out of the 110-120 that applied.
