Admission to the Government College of Engineering and Ceramic Technology (GCECT) is determined by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) results, with the college allocation process managed through an online, computerized system. The faculty at GCECT is well-qualified, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 20:1, ensuring personalized attention. The college's fee structure is affordable due to its government status, with annual tuition fees of INR 3,000 for Ceramic Technology, INR 6,500 for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), and INR 24,000 for Information Technology (IT).

An examination fee of INR 1,200 per semester is also applicable. The total annual cost for IT students is about INR 26,200, including all fees. Financially constrained students may apply for fully free or half-free schemes. Major recruiters for placements include TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others, with average packages between 3.2 LPA and 6 LPA, and the highest package reaching about 13 LPA. While the Ceramic Technology department maintains nearly 100% placement rates, IT and CSE have seen a decline to 60-70%.

Students are eligible for campus placements from the 6th semester but must independently seek internships. The college offers various scholarships like the Swami Vivekananda Scholarship providing up to INR 60,000, and other financial aids, particularly for students from low-income families. The overall cost of the four-year course is approximately INR 98,000, making it considerably more affordable than private counterparts.
