Admission to the college is primarily through WBJEE or JEE Mains, with centralized online counseling based on ranks. A minimum AIR of 17,000 in WBJEE is typically needed for mechanical engineering. Located in Durgapur, the college is recognized for its mechanical engineering program and solid placement record. Tuition fees for BTech are approximately 43,000 INR per semester, totaling around 4 lakh INR for the 4-year program, excluding hostel costs. Hostel fees range from 27,000 to 30,000 INR per semester, bringing the total cost to around 6 lakh INR, which is moderate compared to other private colleges.
The Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme can significantly reduce costs for eligible students, offering a 100% scholarship for those with a family income under 1 lakh INR. The faculty, especially in the Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical departments, are experienced and supportive, though the IT department's faculty are noted as less qualified. Placement is strong in IT, CSE, and ECE, with up to 100% placement in some years, while core branches face challenges.
Major IT companies like TCS, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and Wipro participate in recruitment. Internships offer an average stipend of 5000 INR/month, but not all students benefit equally. Education loans are accessible from banks, though the college does not provide them. Other scholarships, such as the MOMA scholarship, may be available. The college is transparent with its fee structure, providing valid receipts for all payments.
