Remarks

Good teaching staff. Cool labs,Bad bad placement. It was fun learning but had painful time while placements.

Entrance Preview

I took WBJECA, I got 1474 rank. Reason for choosing is the college was in Kolkata city limits and hence placement chances were good.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum of WBUT is good. But adding few more subjects like advanced data structures,programming would be good. Some papers like artificial intelligence and linear programming didn't make much sense to me. Inclusion of Java in Semester 5 was a bonus.

Internships Opportunities

No. There was no internship and stipend. It was 2009 and hence the big recession. That might have been a factor too.

Placement Experience

If you have 60% aggregate throughout then you would get few on and pool campus opportunities. I got to sit in L&T,Satyam and iFlex. Got selected in iFlex. Candidates having below 60% virtually got nil campus placement opportunities and even fake companies popped up.

College Events

Fests and cultural activities were frequent. Picnics were often organized. Tech seminars were very few. There was a presentation from Microsoft which I remember. That was pretty fruitful and good to hear.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Was a touch expensive. Around 25000 per semester in 2009.

Fees and Financial Aid

Nope. I didn't avail any loan for this course.

Campus Life

4.5

Gender ratio was good (60:40) male,female)Parties were less frequent Workshops were less frequent. No discrimination were there.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Didn't avail hostel. I heard from hostel mates that lodging is good but food was crap.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Yes seniors were helpful. I didn't find any good alumni network there.

Exam Structure

It was pretty chilled out. Ample amount of systems and all working ones. Labs and classrooms were air conditioned and hence kolkata heat didn't bother us while practicing code . Number of lab and practical classes were also high so gave a hands on experie

Faculty

4.5

Brilliant and knowledgeable faculties except for a few. The faculties teaching C,Data structures, algorithms,graph theories,networking were real good. C++, AI was not covered well. Faculties teaching computer architecture was average and Operating system

Likes

Labs and classrooms are good enough. Highly advanced technologies are used in classroom. All machineries works perfectly. Computers and AC s are good enough. So many types of operating systems are also available.

Dislikes

There is no enough space in our campus. Ground is not cleared in regular basis. Sports activities are less. Cultural programmes are less. Bulidings and lift facility should be better. Along with a better canteen required.

Placement Experience:

From 2nd semester, students eligible for campus placements. Tcs, wipro, cognizant visited over the year. Highest and lowest not known. 20% students got placed from here in average. I'll persue intership or job.

Dislikes

Firstly that I disliked is about college location , It is far from city and belongs in little rural area.
Secondly there need to a selection process before college admission that will help good student selection.
Thirdly girls and boys ration is 1:4 this disbalanced student communication and campus life.

Placement Experience:

Placement starts after 2nd semester. Top companies TCS, Maventic , Celebal, and Cognizant visit the campus. The highest package is around 10 LPA, and the average is 4 - 5 LPA. About 75 % of students get placed. after completing my degree, I plan to work in the IT industry .

Overall, I found the admission process to be smooth. The online application portal was easy to navigate and provided clear instructions.

Dislikes

I don't hate anything about college per se. There are some human behaviors and personality traits I don't like, but these also occur outside of college.
As a college student, you may have some professors who are better than others, and some professors may use grading criteria you don't like
College is a wonderful educational experience. It's not always pleasant, but even the unpleasant experiences may teach you important lessons. If you keep that in mind, you may benefit more from college than if you focus on what you hate about it. Bes

Average Makaut college with no placements.

The admission process for the course was relatively straight forward, with a focus on extrance exams like JEE and WBJEE . These Exams served as primary criteria for admission, and the scores obtained were valid for application. To begin the application process, prospective students could find the application form on the official websites of the respective entrance exams. The application fees varied depending on the exam and the category of the applicant, with different rates for general and reserved categories. Overall, while the admission process for the course may have its strengths, such as the use of established entrance exams and relatively low cutoff scores, there is always room for improvement to enhance transparency, fairness, and the overall quality of the process....Read More
