Course Curriculum Overview

3

This course is the most industry-oriented course nowadays, so I chose this course. Most of the teachers are highly-qualified, some even over qualified. Faculty to student ratio is about 1:90. The term exams got over at the perfect time. Syllabus is not huge, fairly easy to pass of class notes are followed.

Placement Experience

2

Placements are decent....just like most of the other private engineering colleges in the city. Abiut 50-60% students get placed with average package of 3-4 lpa. Some students get 7-8 lpa, some even 15 lpa.

Fees and Financial Aid

The semester fees are 85k per semester. That means 85k x 8 = 680k at the end of four years. Aditionally 25k is collected at the time of admission. That brings the total fees of four years to 705k. The fees for previous batches were as low as 55k per semester. So there has been a significant hike in fees.

Campus Life

2.5

Ecstasia - Annual Cultural Fest (March-April) Ureckon - Annual Tech Fest (March-April) Eutopia - Annual Literature Fest (February-March) Good stock of books and journals available in library. 24x7 access. All classrooms have projectors and mics for easy learning. Lots of activities in sports and outdoor activities. Multiple extra curricular events spanning throughout the year.

Hostel Facilities

3

Rooms are small but good enough for 2/3 people. Food quality is okay, timings flexible. Easy registration, just fill out a form and then you get access to the hostel warden's mobile number where you can contact him for further inquiries. Hostel is located in Natunpukur, near Patharghata, behind Downtown Mall.

Admission

Admission is accepted either through WBJEE/JEE/IEMJEE counselling. The IEMJEE application form is available on the college website. The exam is not difficult at all and it is fairly easy to get into this college.

Placement Experience:

from 6/7 th semester onwards students become eligible for campus placements. Infosys visited with around 22-23 offers , Cognizant visited with arount 15-16 offers , TCS visited with several offers(not sure how many) , that's it the big names. Apart from these small startups and companies visited too. Highest package offered was 11lpa by TCS , 9.6lpa by infosys, 6.48lpa by Cognizant. Profiles were ASE in TCS , PAT in CTS , SET in Infosys. The percentage of students placed was less arount 30-40% , mostly because the curriculum lacks placement prep. I have joined Cognizant as a Programmer Analyst Trainee after graduating .
