The academic experience with one of the best infrastructure and excellent faculty among the top Engineering colleges of Delhi NCR endured me with lifelong career excellence. The best thing about the Krishna Engineering College was part of a supportive environment, where everyone is focused, help each other,and you are encouraged to succeed as individuals. The flexibility extended at KEC helped me focus, and having the teachers willing to answer any questions throughout early in the morning or after college helped too. The time I spent at KEC cannot be explained/justified in one paragraph, it was extraordinary.

Thank you KEC, for giving me such an environment where I could prepare myself for the upcoming challenges of career and professional life. I went through several changes while studying in KEC, right from the dream of joining defense forces to the academic research, which further ended up with being in Indian Oil Corporation as Maintenance Officer to look after all the machineries maintenance and serving for the India's Energy.

First of all, I would like to thank all KEC staff for the support and encouragement, they provided in four years of my life at KEC. Good infrastructure, friendly environment and timely guidance helped me not only in enrichment of professional skills but also in development of overall personality. It has been a great experience to be a part of KEC. I will miss my college days forever.

Taking admission to KEC was a life changing decision for me. I feel great being part of KEC. The best part what I feel about this college that being a mechanical girl I was given a chance to explore and learn many new things about my field and other than that even. Being located in NCR students here are having opportunities of getting selected in many good companies as Delhi NCR is the hub of IT as well as many other top MNCs. I got my first job in IBM India Pvt. Ltd. but since I was also taught in KEC that you should never stop learning, this motivated me to appear for CAT and today I am pursuing MBA from IM(FMS)- BHU.

If I had to make a brief statement about what KEC gave me, it would have to be diversity. Where else could a student like me meet such an array of educated and successful people. Where else could I have made so many new friends-including many lifelong friendships-and meet so many batchmates of different ages and backgrounds. In a way, KEC was a great blend of education (both technical and practical), knowledge, experience & relationships. KEC faculty members were my real mentors but at the same time, great friends as well. I am extremely grateful for all that I learned from my experiences as a student at KEC.

I am currently working in EWAC Alloys Limited as Application Specialist. I completed my B.Tech at Krishna Engineering College (Mechanical Engineering Department) in 2017. It was a great learning experience,and the sessions taught thereupon are helping me to deal with day to day industrial problems. Faculties of our college were very supportive,and they guided students in the best possible manner. Thanks to Krishna Engineering College for providing me with a platform to step into the open market. I also want to thank every individual including all the staff and other supporting people without whom this journey couldn't have been possible.

I enjoyed my time at KEC. It was a good experience. Faculties are excellent and supportive. KEC puts more emphasis on practical work and industrial visits that is really appreciated.
01 Jan 2011
I had a great time at KEC, learnt a lot about the subject as well as life. Faculties are supportive, the overall environment is good. I believe one must not fix their mind to something, and students should explore more and think creatively. This will help them grow in the industry also.
