The truth about government colleges in West Bengal

There is very little job opportunity and on campus placement here. The placement cell is not active and most of the graduates move towards higher studies for MTech and MBA. One has to grind on his own and target companies via Offcampus opportunities.

Reviewing my Alma Mater - GCELT

The fees of my course were very affordable. Only 6k per semester. I didn't avail any scholarships or financial aid. The placement was good with the highest on-campus offer being 7 lpa and median offer being 5 lpa. We have multiple MNCs visiting us regularly. Very good return on investment.
