How is ABES EC as an engineering college and what are its downfalls?

Overall ABES EC is an average engineering college at best. Here are some of the pros and cons of joining the institutes. 

Pros: 

• It has great infrastructural facilities. There is centralized AC for all blocks in the whole college. The lush green campus will soothe your eyes.

• There are many food courts that sell good quality food at reasonable prices.

• There are many clubs like Samvaad Theatre Group, Technovation, etc. in which you can take part. 

Cons:

• The institute calls parents if you don’t attend your class. 
• The hostel curfew timing for girls is strict. You need to be inside the hostel premises at 6 pm during winter and 6:30 pm during summer. 

Overall, your time at ABES EC will be a bitter-sweet one. 

One of my friends is studying CSE in ABES EC, and as per his reviews, the following are his thoughts about it.

Benefits

• The campus is lush green. It is well-equipped with amenities like air-conditioned classrooms, 24x7 surveillance and Wi-Fi, laboratories, hostel facility, library, cafeterias, temple, and more.
• The faculty of the college is large and diverse. They are well-qualified and have vast experience.
• There are many activities, seminars, competitions, and fests throughout the year to develop you holistically.

• Ragging is not a concern for this institute as no one carries out such practices.
• The institute has a strong alumni connection.

Demerits

• There is no diversity in college. All the students are from Uttar Pradesh. So, you cannot expect a mix of different cultures on the campus.
• There are two sessional exams besides your pre-university exams. It becomes tedious.
• Hostel charges are high, and the facilities they provide are not satisfactory.
• ID cards are compulsory to carry. There is a dress code during the exams.
• Maintain at least 75% attendance, or else you will not be qualified for sitting in exams.

Overall, the college is decent despite the demerits. But the ultimate choice depends upon you. So choose wisely and plan accordingly.
