A Very Grounded Review of St. Thomas, Kolkata

I chose ECE because I didn't have much interest in coding. The faculty ratio is adequate. Most of the teachers are doctorates in their respective fields and have a good way of teaching. The exams are held on a timely basis and it is relatively easy to pass in all of them if you put time into the subject.

Students become eligible for placement from the end of their 6th semester. This may vary however depending upon the visiting companies. P360, Nomura FinTech, LTI Mindtree, Cognizant and Wipro are some of the visiting companies. The lowest package ranges from 3 lakhs to 4 lakhs per annum. The highest package on campus was 8 lakhs. However, students get better packages than their capacity off-campus. The placement percentage is quite healthy with around 85-90% of students getting placed. I'm planning to pursue a career in the central government after the completion of my degree.

The fee structure in West Bengal is extremely competitive. You can complete your bachelor's at St. Thomas at around 4 lakhs for the entire duration of the course. The college helps students get education loans through various banks. However, I do not have much idea about the financial assistance and campus job aspect of the question.

The campus is extremely disciplined with a few rules that will bother you from time to time. There are no fests held here apart from the program or functions that are organised by the students and some faculty. The library is well equipped. The classrooms have projectors which are used for showing PPTs. There is a ground but, the access is somewhat limited. There are common rooms for the boys and girls respectively. Clubs are non-existent.

Admissions into most of the engineering colleges in West Bengal are done through WBJEE. A good enough rank of around 10-15k will make you eligible for admission into St. Thomas. The WBJEE admission process is held every year and you can find relevant details on the website itself. The counselling process was better when it was online. It should be brought back.
