PSN College of Engineering and Technology, Tirunelveli

I did my engineering from this college during 2010-2014 in computer science engineering. The college is an average one like any other normal engineering college in Tamil Nadu but with lots of scopes to improve. My review is based on my experience, hope college would have improved by the time you read this. ----#BEFORE JOINING#----- Please think twice before you give all the certificates. Once given its very hard to get it back. Else you need pay what ever they are asking for. It could be a year fee or even entire course fee also. While joining only give photocopies. Once class starts then submit the originals. ----#FEES#----- Usually students of same batch will have different fee depends on a) department (course) b) time of joining c) how you join(direct or through agent) Departments which have low demand like IT, CSE have low fee compared to Mechanical,Civil,Aeronautical..... If you join early your fees will be low. If you are joining through an agent, usually they take some money from you and fees completely depends on them. In 2010 when I joined CSE, my fees was 36k per year, where one of my classmate's fees was 25k per year as he joined earlier. Another class mates fee was 40k as the agent looted him. Same year Mech and Civil students where having fees around 1lakh to 1.5lakh. When you join please don't look at the tuition fees alone, there are hell lot of other fees like Admission fee, department fee,swimming pool, etc. For me tuition fee was 36000 per year but additional 40K to 50K I has to pay as different fees(include hostel and mess). You have to buy text books(that you will never use), record books from college(compulsory). So always add 50K to your tuition fee to calculate the total annual fee. ------#TEACHING#-------- College gives good effort for quality teaching. But like normal colleges the quality of lectures are not that good. There are some lectures(20%) who takes more effort, rest 80% don't know how to teach or what they are teaching. Since the college is not paying them good enough ,good lectures leave the college once they get good opportunity. 9am to 5pm is the college timings. 50 mins each period, 50 mins lunch break. 2 other breaks of 10 mins. ------#STAFFS#------- Most of the staffs are rude. From sweeper to chairman. They act bossy. Some of them I can think of ..warden, lab assistants (especially mech lab ), physical trainers, library staffs, admin staffs. When these uneducated people play bossy, you will so bad. ------#RULES#------- You cannot bunk class, every hour attendance will be taken. You have to maintain 75%. If you take unplanned leave, fine 100rs per day, and if it is on Mondays and special days fine 500rs fine .Boys and Girls of same class should not talk each other, if cought there will be severe punishments. If you are late to class , fine of 25 to 100 per day. Mobiles are not allowed in college if caught 1000rs to 5000rs fine. If you are caught for any fight or your attendance is below 75% fine could some where around 5k to 25k. ------#LEAVES#------- Normally getting leaves are little difficult. First you have to get approval from class adviser, then HOD and then principal or director. If you are hostler you have to get signature from warden also. ------#Ragging and Fights#------- College is very strict against Ragging. Any time you can complaint disciplinary actions will be imminently taken. Most of the time students do not complain to avoid after effects. Most of the time occur in college, hostel or in railway station because of junior-senior ego clashes. Most of them are light fights but there are some incidents in which police had get involved. These thing you will find in each and every college. ------#Mess Food#------- Food quality very bad but you will get unlimited food. Breakfast- Idly or Dosa with Sambar, puri on Sundays. Non veg is served in alternative days for dinner, mostly chicken curry or boiled egg, for lunch rice, papad, butter milk with some sabji, fish fry on Thursday. The cafeterias are very unhygienic, sometime dogs comes inside cafeteria, students dump the food waste on table itself. The people who cooks the food and who serves, terrible... If you are hostler you have to pay mess fess compulsory. but there are other cafeterias from where you can pay and have food. Those are much better than the mess. ------#Hostel Life#------ Hostel life enjoyable if you have enough friends. In medium size room 6 students will be allocated, if its small or corner rooms 4 students will be allocated. Some time hostel rules get strict as 10pm you need to switch of the lights, 5am they will wake you up. Mobiles are not allowed. Laptops are permitted on written letter from HOD and Director. WIFI enabled hostel,but speed is pathetic. There is frequent power cuts. During summer sometime it is 18hours of power cut. Drinking water is good enough, haven't heard of any one who got sick because of drinking water. Washrooms are worst. Common washroom, its WORST. Most of the time water will not available. Washrooms are always unclean. During summer water is available only at 6.30am to 8am. Hostel is compulsory, no students are allowed to stay outside unless you are a localite. ------#Physical activities#------ 2 Gyms are there and one is open for all and other is for marine hostlers. Swimming pool is the best part in the college. you will find most of the games like Cricket, Football, Hockey, volleyball, basketball Tabletennis........ For sports quota students fee is less.
