Remarks

The college is good, it had improved a lot since I left, the campusing status has improved which is frankly the only thing we see when we join an engg. college.

Course Curriculum Overview

Yes, the course curriculum is in accordance with the WBJEE syllabus, my college experience was chill mostly since we didn't have compulsory attendance back then honestly, the Indian school system is way too hectic, followed by college and work life. I felt my college life gave me a lot of free time to explore a lot of my other talents.

Class Size: 300Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Placement Experience

1.5

Yeah, I was among the few in our batch to have gotten 2 jobs, one was in Byju and the other was in tech Mahindra. The placement has improved a lot recently with a lot of students getting placed

College Events

3.5

Tech fest is the technical fest which has a lot of activities like building a bridge from ice cream sticks and hackathon, there were also debates and stuff, and the most awaited event would be our cultural fest which is almost always celebrated in aquamarine Hooghly.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is minimal, it's 50000 for a semester on an average, we had 8 sems so it added up to 400000, with colleges like kiit and srm charging 12 and 14 lakhs respectively, I guess our fees were pretty reasonable, to say the least. There are a library access fee and a hostel fee for the ones who wanna use the hostel.

Fees and Financial Aid

I haven't availed for any scholarships or loans but the process is usually the same as for any other educational loans.

Campus Life

Campus life was chill, up until the 3rd yr we had pretty relaxing rules which were changed when we exited the college..but yeah my school life was pretty hectic and I kinda regret not doing anything other than mugging up stuff for the 12 yrs of school. College gave me an opportunity to relax and focus on my other talents.

Alumni/Alumna

Yeah, they are pretty helpful. We have job counsellors coming in when we were in the 3rd yr and the senior students gave a lot of lectures on how to approach the job market.

Admission

I got in through the WBJEE counselling that is held after the WBJEE exams. I chose this college for the simple reason that it was near my home since I wanted to retake the jee mains the following year. The admission process consists of the WBJEE since it falls within our university.

Faculty

2.5

They were pretty good in their respective areas and they gave frequent notes and all of the other stuff that you get in engineering colleges, but I feel the college has introduced pretty strict rules recently regarding attendance and stuff and I feel that students should be given a bit of respite in their college lives which can help groom them into better humans.

Helpful Faculties, the faculties over here helped us through out the course
Good clean and green campus with water supply at different places in the campus
Structured syllabus for industrial readiness in the curriculum

Dislikes

Nothing such I have disliked, but some classrooms projector did not functioned properly
Some time the guards unnecessarily behaved rude which I hated the most

Placement Experience:

The placement cell provides us with training programs and internships and also if the students are careful and disciplined in the classroms they can crack through job interviews. There is mock viva at the end semester and also some on campus hiring companies came in our college.

Average Makaut college with no placements.

Likes

You can focus on gate, or any other job teachers are helpful no issue of attendance.
easily pass as syllabus is not hard,and get a B.tech degree.

Dislikes

poor infracture, lack of resources such as sports facility.
Less qualified teachers with no PHDs, and familiar with basic knowledge.
No placements, whatever you can do is off campus only

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is perceived as average , lacking specific elements that might make it stand out. In my case, the motivation was not to waste a year by opting for a drop. The flexibility in attendance which let me focus on other interests. The curriculum is same as MAKAUT, and the exam frequency is also controlled by MAKAUT .Areas of improvement is infrastructure and better faculty.
