Remarks

The college has made nothing but postive memories for me. Being part of the core committee and also getting involved in numerous activities really widened my way of thinking which has helped me a lot in the day to day life. Also regarding academics you can clear you doubts at any given point of the day there's no issue in that.

Course Curriculum Overview

The mechanical engineering stream in this instituition is quite good. There's good infrastructure and equipments as required for mechanical engineering. Our HOD was also a faculty of Jalpaiguri Engineering College and the teaching staff is very supportive as well.

Placement Experience

I with 7.96 got 2 job offers one in Mphasis and other one at GSG of 2.4 lakhs and 6.5 lakhs per annum salary package respectively. There's innumerous job offers and regarding the internship we did a training in the North East Frontier Railway from Siliguri.

College Events

There will be a combined teacher's day and fresher's programme called Alfresco on and around 5th of September every year where there will be cultural fests only and then during the even semester there will be a college fest which is one of the biggest in North Bengal named Alacrity. Alacrity host 2 days program, one for technical events ending with dj night and then on the other day it is only cultural fest like band competition, solo singing competition and all, ending with rock band performance. There's inter department and inter college football as well as cricket tournament too.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Feasible, the fee structure is much less than what you'd have to bear even after getting good marks in KIIT and institutes like that. Each semester is around 40-44 thousands rupees. This seems quite economical in respect to other colleges.

Fees and Financial Aid

I'm not aware of such loans and also haven't availed for it. You can talk to the accounts section in the college to know further information regarding scholarship and loan, but I've seen Students paying less for some reason that I'm not aware of.

Campus Life

There are numerous thing for extra curricular activities there's sports area where there's indoor games like Carrom, Billiards, Chees, and Table tennis as well as outdoor games facilities like cricket, vollyball, badminton, and football. Also there's drums and guitar for those who are passionate about music.

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are very helpful and will feel like family once you get to know them. There's Facebook groups that I may not be a part of but have heard of it where there are alumuni and also faculties to help if you ever need any.

Admission

I gave the West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam in 2016 and on the basis of my rank I got selected for b.tech in Mechanical Engineering in Surendra Institute of Engineering and Management. I failed in maths but after I gave the retest and cleared all the subjects I started doing the regular classes as per scheduled.

Faculty

The faculty is very helpful and never made us feel that we had to maintain the hierarchy. Professors are like friends over here they'll guide you in the right direction I can guarantee you that. Each department has a subject matter expert.

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

The life at SIEM

the prior reason for attending this college was the proximity to my hometown. The other reason to chose this college was the availability of the course of my choice i.e. mechanical engineering which was not available at the other engineering colleges in Siliguri. The admission process is flexible i.e. you can either take direct, lateral admission or get into the college through any competitive examinations. Queries for admission can be done through the official website of the college: www.siemsiliguri.org...Read More
