Remarks
I had to sit for the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination after the 12th to take admitted to Dr Sudhir Chandra Sur Degree Engineering College. All the aspirants were given ranks based on their performance in the exam and we had to attend the counselling process to take admitted to the college of one's choice. A student had to visit the college with the authorised papers from the counselling department. That is the basic process of admission to the college.
Course Curriculum Overview
I always wanted to study automobiles and there were two colleges in West Bengal. This was closer to my home so I opted for SURTECH. The faculty: student ratio in our department was almost 1:8 and most of the teachers were highly qualified with years of experience. There were young teachers as well but all of their techniques and teaching methods were simple yet intriguing for the entire class. The exams, both internal and external were conducted twice a year in the semester format and they were pretty challenging. However, the guidance of the faculty members made it easier for both practical and theoretical exams.
Placement Experience
The placement on campus was not really impressive and most of the students from our department had to make do for themselves. There were opportunities for other departments and I think around 50% of the entire student strength was able to find placement from campus interviews. As I have already got my degree I am currently working as an automotive content writer.
Fees and Financial Aid
The cost to study in a private engineering college is always high in this country and automobile requires a lot of equipment to provide a proper structure of learning for the students. Hence the high fee structure was justified in this case. There was a tie-up with Volkswagen which arranged our mid-semester training and we achieved our certificates as well. However, the placement from automobile companies was nothing to boast about and most of us had to find our own path.
Campus Life
There was an annual fest but no tech fest at our time. There were limited books in the library and amenities in the classrooms. However, it has been 8 years since I passed and I have learned that there have been many improvements in both areas. There used to be sports and cultural activities once a year but there were no social groups at that time.
