B.Tech Electronics Engineering Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh

When a close friend of mine asked me to write a review for our college, I felt 250 words are too few to describe our great institution. Studying at ZHCET is quite an experience. The most unique thing about our college is that we have maintained a perfect equilibrium between being modern and retaining our core values, or tehzeeb, as it is referred to in these circles. What really makes our college stand out is the fact we have a very strong network of alumni, who are still very much active, and contribute to the college in every possible way. We have a program called the Sir Syed Emerging Scholar Award, which provides financial aid and mentoring to the bright students of our college, who wish to study abroad. Teaching is of a high quality, and the syllabus is set according to the GATE syllabus, so that students don't have to look elsewhere for their preparation. Of late, there have been efforts to make the students familiar with the latest industrial trends, with several workshops on hot topics like Internet of Things and Big Data, organised over the last 4-5 months. There are a number of student clubs like SAE, Roboclub, ASCE, EDC and IEEE , which encourage technical and entrepreneurial activities. Professors over here highly encourage research activities, and enthusiastically guide students who show an interest in working under them. ZHCET has to be one of the most economical places of study in India, with an annual fee as small as 5k rupees, which include hostel accommodation. Students come from all over India, and there is a nice intermixing of cultures here. The only area where we lag behind is the placements, and there are plans to open a training and placement office in the NCR region, which will definitely boost the placement drive. Overall, ZHCET is a stellar institution, and as our rapid rise in our rankings show, we are a force to be reckoned with.
