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.

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.
