Here, CDC(Career Development Centre) organizes summer internhsip mainly for pre-final year students. These are often paid internships with stipends ranging from 30000 to 1.5lakh per month, depending on the company and role.

For other categories tution fee is exxcluded and remaining fee is common for all (i.e 100000 Rupees is excluded).

Campus Life

Our college offers a beautiful campus life with a vast greean campus, strong hall culture, and lively nightlife. There are many clubs like tech, drama, music, dance etc. Events, late-night waks, night canteens makes my day.

Hostel Facilities

There are study tables, wifi provided at room. The menu is changed for every month and every hall has its own menu. Hostel and mess fee is around 10000 per semester and is truly affordable and worth. Breakfast includes banana, bread with butter and jam, sprouts and boiled egg.

Hostel Fee: INR 45000 per year

Admission

I applied for IIT BOMBAY (Computer science and engineering) but got rejected as my rank was higher than cutoff rank of IIT B. JOSAA takes care of admission in IITs,NITs etc. I finally got into IIT KGP. JEE ADVANCED ranks decide the college in which you study.

Faculty

Prof. Pratha Pratim Chakrabarti (PPC) of CSE dept and Prof. Atul Jain are the best faculty at IIT Kharagpur. There would be two exams- mid-semester and end-semester.and class tests and lab tests before mid and end examinations.

Night Life

The campus is truly alive at night. Night canteens are available at each and every hall. Night-life- late night walks, 2AM Maggi, chilling at Tech market, Tikka, Nehru. There are security everywhere so whole campus is safe to roam around at night.

Other Applied Colleges

IIT Bombay - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITB] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering)

Studying in IIT BOMBAY was my dream since my childhood. As seats are allotted with respect to ranks, I wasn't getting a seat there for my rank.

Review of Techno International NewTown

Placement Experience:

Studentsbecome eligible for placements from 7th semester. Various companies such as TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Godrej, etc. come for placements. Earlier many offers used to come however in the recent years the number of offers made have reduced significantly. highest package comes around 10 to 11 lakhs per annum with average being 4-5 lakhs per annum. I have kept my options open after completion of degree in doing further studies that is Mtech or getting into a job whichever seems appropriate at the situation.

Life at IIT Kharagpur through the lens of an inquisitive student

I did not apply for any other colleges apart from IIT Kharagpur. I did apply for better branches in the same college but could not get into any due to thr rank range I fell into after JEE Advanced. The admission process is digitalised for the most part, facilitated by the college ERP system. There is also some offline document submission that takes place during the induction period (which lasts for around 4 days)....Read More
