Students and alumni claim that the placement scenario at KGEC Kalyani is far from stellar. The biggest recruiter is TCS, offering an average package of INR 4 LPA. Core companies rarely visit, but a few do, including, M.N. Dastur, Ericsson, Oracle Finance, and Hitachi. Initially, seniors might seem domineering but may end up as mentors and brother figures. KGEC maintains a decent level of discipline. There are no strict dress codes, but rules against half-pants and three-quarters exist. These rules are not imposed by the authorities, but by students themselves. KGEC lacks a cricket ground, basketball court, swimming pool, and an indoor sports club. However, it does have a TT Court, 2 uneven football grounds and a few volleyball courts. Freshers get a separate hostel, initially.KGEC has its downsides, but its still one of the best engineering colleges in West Bengal.

How is the faculty at KGEC Kalyani?

Students and alumni of KGEC Kalyani say that the faculty depends on which department or stream one is talking about. If you talk about the Computer Science department, it's no good as the faculties are as incompetent as an amateur swimmer. They lack proper expertise and knowledge to guide a potentially brilliant student and keep the interest-curve high. On the other hand, IT, Electrical and Electronics department is quite good, but talking about the best department in the college, it's mechanical. Students are made disciplined that they do not need any validation. The Head of the Department (HOD) of the Mechanical department is so hard-working that he is maintaining the morale and interest high in students, alone.

How are the BTech CSE placements at KGEC?

Students claim that if one is under the impression that they are going to get placed at their dream job from here, please dispel them. That being said, recruiters from CS and IT are typical IT companies, but (as of last year) they too are recruiting in lesser numbers compared to previous years. A few students however do manage to bag pretty good jobs, but that has more to do with individual talent. Placements are good only if you are hardworking and talented enough. As for the colleges role in your placement, dont count on it!

Excellent college for pursuing B.Tech

As it is a Government Engineering College the fees hike policy is not applied here. Although the admission fees reduced to some extent if you apply for Student Freeship Scheme. During study students can apply several types of scholarships like Oasis, Svmcm, Aikashree etc.
