Student Reviews & TestimonialsSatyendra Kumar 5 One of the best private engineering colleges in bangalore. Offers a wide range of courses UG, PG and PhD. Very nice and well maintained campus. Very famous in bangalore due to an annual intercollegiate event called Sargam. Massive crowd during events. The crowd could have been managed much better with multiple entrances during the Sargam event. Almost one hour wasted in queue just to get an entree and half an hour wasted to enter in main event beats. However sufficient security was there to handle the crowd. Sahil Shekar 4 This is my college. The campus and the staff are really good, especially in the Mechanical department. The teaching here is par excellence. The college has ample parking space and more than three canteens. Various courses are offered here for graduation and post graduation. At times, we are made to pay for unnecessary things but other that that it is a great college. The annual college fest 'Sargam' is mind blowing. Would recommended you to join the college if you are a local of Bangalore. It may not be worth coming from a different state to study here. The placements are also good. The fees are more economical here than other good colleges in Bangalore. Enjoyed 4 good years of fun and memories here. Avinash Sunny 4 New horizon college was established in 2001 and since then it has grown in leaps and bounds. It has become one of the finest engineering institutions and sought after by students and companies alike. The quality of education and the opportunities that it provides is at par with the best institutes in Karnataka. The campus is strategically placed bang on the outer ring road amidst many Tech parks and SEZ. They have a beautiful campus and ample amenities for the students Subhan Jamadar 1 I studied at this college and had a very unpleasant experience, starting right from the admission process. During the COVID-19 period, the college demanded the entire admission fee in cash and refused to provide a receipt. This was likely because, as per VTU regulations, colleges are not allowed to charge extra fees for admission. The institution seems primarily focused on looting money from students. They charge for nearly everything — including ID cards, placement fees, and yearly VTU fees — yet fail to provide the necessary facilities and support to students in return. One of the worst experiences I had was with a lecturer named Uma, who served as our final year project mentor. She was unprofessional and even threatened to fail us. Additionally, the Head of the CSE Department was extremely rude and uncooperative. The college also demands 2.1% of the CTC from students who get placed through campus placements. They allegedly threaten to withhold degree certificates from those who refuse to pay this amount. Overall, I would not recommend this college to anyone. It is not worth wasting your parents' hard-earned money on an institution that prioritizes profit over student well-being and education.
