Fun but could be better

Good remarks: We have a huge campus. Some very educated professors. Helpful faculty. Bad remarks: Isolated campus. Should get professors who can communicate properly in one of the National Languages.

I took JEE Main. Scored 180 / 360 and got a rank of 19076. I'd wanted to study Computer Science and this was one of the best colleges in Kolkata. There's Jadavpur University but it doesn't accept people based on their All-India ranks and there is IEM but Heritage had a good balance of academics and a college life.

The WBUT Syllabus is not that good, but now since Heritage is a University, they changed the structure. The new syllabus is pretty good. The WBUT syllabus and theory exams are very theoretical and not logic based. Which makes it really hard for some people to score well.

The college provides a 6 week training for the students at the end of the third year. Other than that, it arranges for placement in the 7th semester. Companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, SAP Labs, Polaris, etc. come for that.

In the computer science stream, almost everyone is placed. This year, in the first slot, around 500 students (from all streams) were placed.

We have two fests, Dakshh - the tech fest and Eclecia - the cultural fest. Apart from that various festivals are celebrated in college, like Republic Day, Saraswati Puja, Holi, Independence Day, Navratri, etc.

Fee structure is okay when it comes to engineering colleges. Around Rs. 40, 000 per semester ( on an average ). Considering the campus, the lab equipment, the education provided, I feel it is quite a reasonable amount.

There is a tuition fee from people who have financial problems. Also, some banks provide student loans here.

Campus life is good. There are quite a few workshops organized every semester. Some on coding, robotics, hacking, etc. We have a sports week every year. Elections are held every year to choose a class representative.

I'm a local resident and don't live in the hostel. But the hostels are pretty good. There is a flat system. The one I've visited had 7 people who had to share 4 rooms, 2bathrooms, one induction stove, one fridge. Each flat had their own water purifier and

The seniors are very friendly and open. Always willing to help. They don't show attitude and behave like they are above you. They're pretty much like friends.

The first internals are in the middle of the semester. But towards the end of the semester, things get very hectic. Internals, followed by Practical Exams and then Theory exams.

Some faculty of the college are excellent. Have a lot of knowledge are willing to help students with other work and subjects. Some on the other hand are not comfortable teaching in English or Hindi. They prefer their mother tongue (Bengali), which makes i
