Admission to the B.Tech program at the University of Calcutta, Technology Campus, is through the WBJEE engineering entrance exam, where candidates need a competitive rank to secure a spot. For example, in 2019, a rank of 3,300 with a score of 74 was needed. The college is known for its highly qualified faculty, including former ISRO scientists and PhD holders from prestigious institutions. Despite its strengths, the IT department faces faculty shortages, relying on guest lecturers.
The 4-year B.Tech program is very affordable, with a total fee of around 30,000 INR, a semester fee of 6,000 INR, and an additional 500 INR examination fee. While the college does not provide on-campus placements, students benefit from its strong reputation and alumni network, resulting in a median salary package of 6 lakhs per annum, with top offers like 12 lpa from Uber. The Optics and Optoelectronics department focuses on research and developing scientific skills, which can affect placement rates.
However, job offers range from 4 to 6 lpa. Internships are available, though not all offer stipends, with some project stipends at about 5,000 rupees per month. The University of Calcutta offers scholarships to support students, especially those in need or holding top ranks in their departments. The minimal fee structure makes loan facilities unnecessary.
