Honestly, when I first stepped onto Rajarajeshwari College of Engineering or RRCE’s campus, I thought, “Hmm… this place seems chill.” Green lawns, open spaces, and not that crowded feeling you get at some colleges. It immediately felt like a place where you could actually focus without suffocating.
The library is quiet-ish (some days), classrooms are decent, and labs… well, some work, some need a little TLC. But hey, it’s functional. You can actually get projects done here.
Campus Life
So campus life is kinda mixed — some chill mornings sipping chai, some hectic deadlines trying to finish assignments at 2 AM. Hostels are fine; food is edible, security is okay, and there are spots to hang out. I remember one night, working on a mini AI project, while my roommate complained endlessly about a bug in his code — haha, relatable, right?
Courses & Departments
RRCE offers all mainstream streams: Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, Electronics, Information Science, and AI & ML. They also have M.Tech and MBA for postgrads. The cool thing? Departments aren’t isolated. I did a small robotics project with friends from Mechanical — integrating sensors and code together. Cross-department stuff happens more often than I expected.
Teaching Style
Some profs are amazing, some… meh. Honestly, initiative matters more than anything. Attend workshops, ask questions, do mini-projects — you get the exposure. The mini-projects were honestly my favorite; made me realize theory is only half the deal.
Placements
Placements are decent. Companies like Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra come here. The placement cell runs mock interviews, aptitude tests, soft skills sessions — all that jazz. Top packages go to CSE/AI, but if you hustle, other branches can do well too. Pro tip: build your own projects. My friend’s mini IoT device got him several calls!
Pro Tip: Don’t rely solely on the college; be proactive and join workshops/projects actively.
Innovation & Projects
RRCE has an Incubation Center. Students can pitch ideas, build prototypes, file patents. Some of my batchmates participated in national hackathons — and yes, they actually won some awards. The key: participate, don’t just attend lectures.
Events & Clubs
RajFest, TechnoVision — these fests are energetic. Clubs for robotics, coding, photography, music, dance, literature — there’s something for everyone. I personally joined the robotics club; learned more there than in some classes. You also meet people and form friendships that survive semesters.
Hostel & Facilities
Hostel rooms: basic but workable. Mess: hit or miss. Gyms and sports grounds exist, day scholars have spots too. Internet works decently. Campus is calm, which helps during exam season. Late-night project work is surprisingly tolerated — a few seniors even helped with advice once.
Location Advantage
Located on Mysore Road, it’s close to IT hubs. Internships are manageable, recruiters like accessibility. The area is peaceful enough to study but also close to the city for occasional breaks.
Scholarships & Fee Support
Merit-based and need-based scholarships exist. Management and government schemes too. Education loan support is offered. My friend got a merit scholarship second year — huge motivation for him.
Alumni & Connections
Alumni work in Amazon, Deloitte, Bosch, Infosys. Some pursue higher studies abroad. Alumni come back for seminars, mentorship — makes decision-making easier for current students.
Why Rajarajeshwari College of Engineering – RRCE Stands Out
- Balanced academics and practical exposure
- Friendly, approachable faculty
- Green, open campus
- Good placements if proactive
- Active fests and clubs
- Opportunities to innovate and network
Student Opinions
Not everyone agrees — some complain about facilities, some love it. But overall: if you put in effort, RRCE gives you opportunities. Balance academics, projects, and social life. You learn deadlines, teamwork, and real-world skills.
Conclusion
If you want a college that actually prepares you for real life, Rajarajeshwari College of Engineering (RRCE) is worth considering. Initiative matters, but academics, projects, fests, and campus life make it student-friendly and opportunity-rich. Honestly, my time here gave me both technical skills and soft skills — exactly what engineering should do.
