My review on Cooch Behar Government Engineering College

To get admission in this college you have to appear for West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) and must be resident of West Bengal. As this is a well performing Government College in the state of West Bengal, the cut off goes high every year. I appeared for the exam and got this college through the counselling conducted by the WBJEE Board. I chose this college in the counselling because I was satisfied by the reviews and performance of this college in the last few years.
