Remarks

Institute management was excellent. Course curriculum was balanced but hectic. Placements were excellent. Overall experience was very good and worthwhile.

Entrance Preview

I took West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations rank was 563. I got admitted to Production Engineering among the options available. There was no interview only counselling.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum was a mix of theory and practice a mix of Mechanical Engineering and Management. There was a good exposure to all engineering disciplines in the first two years and then specialization in the 3rd and 4th years.

Internships Opportunities

We went twice for internship once to Jessop during 3rd year and another to Paharpur Cooling Towers during 4th year. Both were organized by the Institute. Duration of each was 4-6 weeks. The experience was good. We had to submit a report and appear for Viva-Voce after the completion of the Internship. Stipend was minimal.

Placement Experience

5

Placement was 100% job opportunities were many. There was absolutely no grievance regarding placement and job opportunities. At that time there was no craze for software industries but still placement was 100% and we are proud of it.

College Events

4.5

The Institute has a number of events like freshers' welcome,fests etc. There was a lot of activity and enjoyment in such events. The department also regularly holds Re-union annually.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It was a government sponsored college and hence fee was very less compared to private institutes. I do not exactly remember the figures but it was around Rs 100 only per month. Examination fees were extra but not much.

Fees and Financial Aid

The course itself was sponsored by the State Government and hence there was no question of any other scholarship. Loan was absolutely not necessary and admission to the course was completely merit-based and students from any section of the society could afford the fees without any loan.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life was enjoyable with extracurricular activities,sports,fests,robotics,debates,extempores,musical events and so on. Every sturent could participate in any event as per his,her desire.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

It was not a residential programme and hence hostel was not compulsory. Hostel facilities were ok not very good and mess food was hopeless. But life at the hostel was enjoyable. Hostel was not within the campus but within 1 km from the campus.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is good but needs to be improved. We keep in touch with ourselves but there is no formal initiatives from the institute to develop the alumni network.

Exam Structure

Schedule was quite hectic. There were two semesters in a year plus sessionals and class tests and assignments. Additionally,lab reports had to be submitted after practicals.

Faculty

4

The standard of faculty was quite good except a few. Regular theory and practical classes were held. Class tests were held as per schedule and requirements. There was strict invigilation during the semester examinations.

Placement Experience:

Campus Placements starts after 6th semester and majorily mass recruiters visit the campus and there are more opportunities for the cor branchs as compared to the non core because of the presence of many industries in the nearby areas.For this year, 12lpa is the highest placement in Commvault but the total placement is only around 50-60%, so my plan is to try getting off campus opportunities by the end of my 3rd year

Course Curriculum Overview:

Personally i opted for electrical and electronics instead of the branch of my choice is because my scores were not enough to secure a seat in CSE. But EEE is pretty cool as well for those willing to grow in this branch. Our curriculum exposes us to the rapidly growing sectors in the industry and educates us of all we need to know about the course in depth. If you want to continue ahead in a research field, this Institute is the most supportive. The exam questions are also relevant enough and considering we only need to actually stress over end semesters, its fair enough per semester. It would be better if our professors removed the attendance criteria rest im fine with everything else
