A college with all amenities

The overall experience with the college authorities regarding any issue is good. One of the things that is on a negative side is that, any issue takes a little bit of time to get resolved. It will be eventually considered and the interest of student will be seen, but at times a bit time-consuming.

Ranked among the top 3 private colleges of Kolkata, Techno India is situated at the heart of the IT Hub of the city in Salt Lake Sector 5. This along with huge exposure to various opportunities offered in the college lured me to opt for it. One of my family members had passed out from the same institution who advised me to go for the same college which proved to be a successful decision in my life. Plus, flexible class timings, laboratory classes in the second half of the college, no restriction regarding attending all classes and most importantly, no dress code urged me to opt for the same.

The campus life is the most entertaining one. With common room, AC cafeteria and AC libraries, there is never shortage of to hang out. The boy-to-girl ratio is more or less equal and it's a ragging free campus since 2008. The Anti-ragging cell is very active, which handles any relevant situation with immediate effort and strictness.
