SUBHAM AGARWAL's Review On Techno India University, Kolkata

IF YOU REALLY WANNA STUDY THEN THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE AS YOU DONT GET THAT MUCH OF SUPPORT FROM THE COLLEGE . ITS THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK YOURSELF AND OUTPERFORM YOUR PEERS. CLASSES DONT ALWAYS TAKE PLACE AS SCHEDULED AND THE TEACHERS ARE ALSO VERY CASUAL.

THIS IS A UNIVERSITY SO IT DECIDES ITS OWN COURSE CURRICULUM. ALTHOUGH IT IS APPROVED BY UGC AND ITS COURSES BY AICTE THE NUMBER OF SUBJECTS AND SUBJECT TOPICS IT TEACHES ARE LESS THAN WHAT OTHER COLLEGES NEARBY TEACHES.EXAMS ARE CONDUCTED IN 2 PHASES A MID SEMESTER EXAM AND A END SEMESTER EXAM.

THE WHOLE TECHNO INDIA GROUP HAS A POOL PLACEMENT SO THERE ARE QUITE A BIG NUMBER OF COMPANIES COMING FOR IT . ITS JUST THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF CAPABLE OF THE POSITION YOU ARE APPLYING FOR. THE COLLEGE DOES NOT PROVIDE INTERNSHIPS BUT IF WE CAN GET SOME THEN THE COLLEGE GIVES A COMPLETE SUPPORT BY GIVING A LEAVE FOR THE SAME PERIOD.

THERE ARE 3 INTER COLLEGE FESTS ORGANISED BY THE COLLEGE. FIRSTLY TECHNO SAHOTSAV WHICH IS THE CULTURAL FEST. TECHNO VIVARTA THE TECH FEST AND RUDRA A SPORTS FEST. THE PARTICIPATION FROM OTHER COLLEGES IS VERY LOW AS THIS IS A NEW UNIVERSITY AND HAS NOT YET ESTABLISHED A NAME OF ITSELF.

THE FEE IS QUITE EXPENSIVE.RATHER I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE COLLEGE IN THE CITY AND CHARGES MORE FEE THAN EVEN AMITY UNIVERSITY. COURSE FEE FOR B.TECH IS 6.48 LAKHS WHEREAS OTHER NEARBY COLLEGES CHARGES A MAXIMUM OF 4.5 LAKHS.

THE COLLEGE PROVIDES SOME PERCENTAGE SCHOLARSHIP TO THE STUDENT IF YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD 10+2 SCORE AND HAVE DONE WELL IN YOUR ENTRANCE EXAM TOO. APART FROM THAT IT HELPS STUDENTS IN GETTING SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE NEEDY AND PERSEVERED CLASSES FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

THE COLLEGE HAS GOOD EQUIPMENT AND GOOD LABS BUT THEY ARE NOT MAINTAINED WELL. THE SIZE OF THE LABS ARE SMALL AND 4-5 PEOPLE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER ON A SINGLE EQUIPMENT. COMPUTER LABS ARE VERY SPECIOUS. THE CAMPUS HAS A GROUND FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND 2 INDOOR GAMES ROOM EQUIPPED WITH CAROM AND TABLE TENNIS BOARDS.

SENIORS ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND THEY TRY TO GIVE THEIR BEST IF WE WANT SOMETHING FROM THEM. THE ALUMNI NETWORK IS NOT VERY STRONG AS MOST OF THE STUDENTS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE COLLEGE AS THEY FEEL THAT THEY DONT GET THINGS FOR THE FEE THEY PAY FOR.

MOST OF THE FACULTY ARE NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS AND MAKE THE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WANT TO. THE COLLEGE TRIES ITS BEST TO GET THE BEST FACULTIES IT CAN BUT THE FACULTIES CHOOSE SOME OF THE MORE REPUTED COLLEGES NEARBY.
