St. Thomas College of Engineering and Technology Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

From around the 6th to 7th semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Our college has a tie-up with Cognizant, which hires the major number of students from here. Companies like Infosys, ITC Infotech, Wipro, NRIFT, etc. also recruit from here. The average package lies around 3.5-4 LPA with the highest reaching up to 8-10 LPA. The percentage of students getting placed is very high here. Around 219 students were eligible in the last placement session, which is fairly high because there are only four streams or around 250 students. I will definitely sit for the placement but my main target is to go Master in Technology.(M.Tech)

If we speak of campus placements students from the final year onwards are only eligible for campusing. Strictly speaking, if you are in the 7th semester you can sit for an campus program. Our principal recruiter is Cognizant which hires the maximum candidates followed by Infosys which hired the second most. There are other companies like Odessa technologies, ZTE, Sonodyne which also came for campusing purposes but these hired only a few. About 88% of students got placed from our college during our time. The highest package was offered by cognizant of about 5 lakhs per annum. The lowest package offered was 3.5 lakhs per annum. The average package offered by Cognizant was just around 4 lakhs per annum. Many students got double job offers from Infosys and cognizant. I always dreamt of appearing in the IES exam after completing my degree. So hopefully I will pursue the same.

From the 4th year onwards people were eligible for campus placements. Mainly in our college Cognizant Technology Solutions had always been the principal recruiter. Apart from this other companies like Infosys, Itc Infotech also came and hired many. The highest offer was 5 lakhs and it was offered by Cognizant. 3 lakhs was the minimum package and average students got 4 lakhs packages per annum. 88% of students got placed during our time. Those students who did not get placement in these colleges got offers from others like ZTE Solutions, Odessa Technologies, Vodafone Idea now named VI, Sonodyne etc. In cognizant you will be given the role of Programmer analyst and in Infosys, you will be getting the role of Systems engineer on joining. There is no bond in cognizant whereas in Infosys you will have to make a bond and the bond duration will be of 1 year. I dream of either sitting for IES exam or pursuing an MBA after passing out of college.

Good placement for all the students, most of the students graduate from the college landing two jobs and overall the college has good faculty and laboratories. The camus is quiet big with a huge playground. One must be quiet disciplined to survive the college environment for for years, because that parameter is must in this college.

Our college has all the necessary infrastructure and labs. But to some extent the equipments are not properly maintained. Classrooms are spacious and clean and well maintained. We have no hostels but pg is available. we have a canteen which provides all sorts of foods including biryani on fridays.

Our college has good and presentable infrastructure. it is clean and clear. we get the resources required for our studies and laboratories properly. Our college has a big library with reasonable stock of varieties of books including undergraduate and post graduate books. our laboratories are sufficient. we got three sport centers including 2 playing grounds and 2 common rooms for both boys and girls separately. The living space is clean and canteen food is hygienic.

Discipline,good faculty,Our college provides exclusive training for placements,Labs have good facilities with Wi-Fi facility. The libraries have an ample number of books to study, and space is enough to accommodate 500 students at a time. The grounds available for sports are very good, and it is duly taken care off.

I chose Engineering because it's probably the easiest way to get a job and i will learn about many others things about our daily lives as well. This will also help me for my higher studies and i will also get and option to choose other career options as well. MBA M. Tech are there too. We have seen engineering students have pursued career in different fields like politics, films, sports etc.

Profeesors are always welcoming your doubts but the office staffs act rudely in terms of administrative and financial matters.

I got admission in 2007 through AIEEE Exam. 10% seat is reserved for AIEEE and 90% for wbjee. Now instead of aieee pre jee is there. Also, few seats are reserved for the management quota if anything is left after the entrance exam because of not qualifying for the minimum cut off.
