My POV

There is some subjects in our curriculum like AI, data structures and algorithms etc. which can help me to achieve my goal. But the curriculum is old. Students still have to write programs on paper in exams. Some assignments are given by faculties where codes are handwritten.

Students got internships at companies like Accenture, AirOxa Innovative Solutions, BOLT IOT etc. in 2024. Accenture and AirOxa Innovative Solutions offered paid internships with monthly stipend of 21-25k rupees. There are some projects like Web development, app development etc. which are created by students. That may help different internships.

7th semester students are eligible for campus placement. Companies like Infosys, Accenture, EY, PwC, NRI FT, HSBC, Johnson Controls are top recruiters. Highest package is about 12 LPA and average package is about 4-5 LPA. 8 CGPA is good enough to get placements. I'm willing to get a job with good package after getting the degree and upgrade myself by learning other relevant courses.

Fees structure: At the time of admission along with semester fee the student has to pay some other fees like admission fee, library fee, uniform fee, games and student development fee, caution deposit etc. So he has to pay a total of 105000/- (including semester fee) for CSE and IT dept. But the semester fee may increase with time and the said amount may vary. After taking admission he will have to pay the fees (2700/-) of registration at MAKAUT. Each semester fee is 69575/- (139150/- per year) for CSE and IT dept. as of now. And the semester exam fee is 1200/- for regular and 1000/- for backlog paper. And this is applicable for all departments. Scholarships: There are some scholarships for students like Swami Vivekananda Merit-Cum Means scholarship for general (Hindus), Aikyashree scholarship for minorities etc. Both of them provide 60,000/- if the students meet the eligibility criteria. To be eligible for those scholarships students must secure 60% marks in semester exams in a year.

Till now I have witnessed some cultural events like Saraswati Puja, Republic day, 21st February (Bhasa Dibos). And an event was organised for hostel students where they could show their talent like singing, dancing, acting etc. And indoor games were also organised like chess and carrom. We all (hostel students) enjoyed that event. Other students were also invited.

I stay at hostel. There are three beds in our room. An attached bathroom is available. And common bathroom is also available outside the room. Free WiFi is available here. And printout facilities at low cost is available. Meal quality is decent. In the morning Tea and biscuits are served. Rice with vegetables are made before going college. Students get breakfast only on Sunday and Monday. And rest of the days students get tiffin in the evening. At dinner roti with vegetables are served. And rice with vegetables are also served to those who like eat rice at dinner. Registration process: At first the student with guardian must meet the superintendent of the hostel and sign a contract of one year. Payment of three months (20250/-) is required. The amount is not fixed. It may vary with time. Locality: Ascent Boys Hostel is situated at Chiriamore, Kaikhali, Kolkata - 700052.

I appeared for an entrance exam and I got a seat for CSE (data science) course at Techno International New Town. But I filled upgradation form and went for round 2. And I got a seat for Information Technology course at B. P. Poddar Institute of Management and Technology. So I took admission in this college rather than taking risks of going to round 3. At our college students can get admission by giving entrance exams like JEE Mains and WBJEE. Cutoffs for different courses vary every year. And spot counselling is also an option for admission.

Faculty-to-student ratio is 1:63 for IT dept. Almost every faculty is helpful in this college. There are some exams like CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4, PCA1 and PCA2 before the semester exam. Students are given tasks like making PPT, Assignment, Term paper, online quiz and offline CA exam. The course curriculum was given by MAKAUT as our college is affiliated with MAKAUT. The curriculum is old and backdated.

Basically I had appeared for WBJEE which is an engineering entrance exam. There were three subjects - physics, chemistry and mathematics. The syllabus is as same as 11th and 12th. Many students take coaching for this exam but I didn't take any coaching classes. WBJEE has three rounds. If you don't get your preferred college seat in round 1 and 2, you can go for mop-up round (round 3) but it's risky because the previous allotted seat will be cancelled. And if you get the preferred college at mop-up round, then it's good for you. But you don't get a seat, then it's over. You will have to try next year.

Our college opens at 9 AM and closes at 8 PM. But our classes are taken from 10:40 AM to 5:45 PM. At night our college is closed but the security guards are always there. Central library is also closed at that time.
