Campus placements are good in our branch with an average CTC of 6.84 lakhs. Companies like Haldia Petro, Indian Oil

The focus of the professors here is primarily research, and they encourage students to do so too. But, at the same time, the placements in our department is around 80%, although there is no proper placement cell. I got to know all this because my uncle is a professor in another department of this college. But most people do not know all this because 4-yr Btech course was started here from 2016. The admissions are strictly based on the rank in the merit list of WBJEE.

Before the placement statistics you have to Know one thing that is Calcutta University has started 4 year's BTech in 2015, before it, the University used to provide a Bsc BTech program for 80 years (approx). So, now you can imagine the alumni network and the reputation of this Institution in the corporate field. The average package is all around 5-6 LPA. I am giving you the placement statistics of my department that is Chemical Engineering. Among all Department in CU, Chemical Engineering Department has the highest placement statistics. About 90% of the batch is placed every year. Companies like Haldia petrochemical, Technip, Linde, Hindustan Unilever, Excide Battery, Balmaer Lawrie, Asian paint, Berger, Appolo tire, BARC, IOCL, ONGC, Diamond Beverage, Sun pharma, Pfizer etc, provide Placement and internship opportunities. The average package of Chemical Engineering is 5.5-6 LPA. And the other departments has also a good placement record

Students can appear for placements after the 6th semester. Burjer, Asian paints, Haldia petrochemical, Jk tyres, Colgate, come here. Average package is 5LPA. Highest package is near 11-12 LPA. 80% of students get placed. I will go for PSUs through GATE and also will appear in placement rounds.

The faculties are really good in this college. Teachers are very helpful with the students.You will find all the ways to express yourself in this college.Senior students are also responsible and helpful to the juniors.

From end of the 7th semester students become eligible for campus placement. In our chem. Tech department companies like holdia petrochemical, jonson tiles, trl kroasaki ltd, ifgl ltd etc are take student by on campus placement. Avg. package is 4-5L/year and max. 6-10L/year. Above 70% student got job and some specialisation have 100% placement like ceramic engineering.

Calcutta University Engineering Department which is present in Rajabazar Science College campus in Kolkata is one of oldest technical institutes in Country. The dept. which I am studying in was established in 1925 (Applied Physics) and has rich heritage. It was until recently that CU started taking students through WBJEE because previously only the cream BSc degree holders from CU affiliated colleges in Bengal were admitted. So I feel extremely privileged to be part of this prestigious institute. Also the placement statistics for my dept. is good as 70% of students got placed this year in core sector with median CTC of 6 LPA in companies like Linde, Technip, CESC, Worley, Haldia Petrochemicals just to name a few. Considering the total fees is just THIRTY THOUSAND rupees, the ROI (Return On Investment) is best I could find in India (Other than Jadavpur University).

University of Calcutta is one of the oldest Institute in the world and the rich heritage is known to all. I had to secure a good rank to enter this college. The research work done her is tremendous and great. that's why I chose this college.

The prestigious radio physics department which gave the fame to our college. The professors are very helpful and pave the pathway for higher education in research department. World wide known scientist Dr. C.V Raman graduated from the same department and same institute. So, I think that's enough for someone to join the course
