Remarks

Positive things: Labs Robust examination system Some good faculty Negative: Some bad faculty and management's decision to carry on with them ignoring students bad feedbacks. Sports facilities can be improved.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is prescribed by state council and approved by aicte. In addition to that I would like to day the implementation of the curriculum is good. They take care of every subject. Exam structure is also as per the council rules. No cheating is allowed what so ever.

Placement Experience

2.5

Placement percentage is about 30 percent i will say. Though i got job from campus placement. Yes college arrange for vocational training or internships. I got my vocational training at ITD cemetation for 1 month. Which was a very good learning curve and got paid too.

College Events

2.5

TechHetc: annual tech fest, This one is the biggest and kost interesting in my opinion. It comprises of various events robo zigger, hunt for fun , code debugging, counter strike, fifa, model display to name a few. Freshers welcome ceremony Annual sports Utkarsha: the annual cultural fest

Fee Structure And Facilities

Around 60k( including a caution money of 10k which is refundable after 1 year of passing out) for admission and then arround 45 k for each semester. It is feasible by contemporary standard. But if you compare with other colleges it may sound a little bit costly.

Fees and Financial Aid

If you get good marks say above 8cgpa and your family income is low then you can apply for a scholarship. My friend got upto 40 percent off on tution fees. Also education loan facility is available with acis bank i guess.

Campus Life

Labs are very good. They are the biggest plus point of this college. Extra curricular activities i don't think they are good. There is a common room which have a TT board and a carrom. Other than than a very very small ground space is available.

Hostel Facilities

No. Hostels are good. Food facilities everything is good. But the hostel is situated at a good 5 km distance from the college campus. And they don't provide transportation. So i opted for a PG nearby.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Yes there is a alumni meet happening annually. I did not get a chance to attend one though i was invited. So I'm not right person to comment on this. But i have not seen any ragging at campus. If you have some connection with seniors then yes you get help. But no organised way is available.

Admission

I already had a diploma in civil engineering. I haf 2 years of experience at l&t construction. I took jelet exam for lateral entry to btech and ranked 170. Then I chose some college at counselling. HETC was my 3rd choice. But it turbed out to be good.

Faculty

In a single word satisfactory. Some are very good namely SBG for English communication, RJP for Structural analysis , Jb sir For over-all all subjects. Other than that more emphasis to be given. In this area I think more emphasis and care can be given.

Good Internship Opportunities

Likes

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.

BCREC a underrated college

Likes

In my batch there are 64 student and there is only 17 girls.so the girl boy ratio is good.
This college has the largest campus of all the college in the West Bengal so college campus is really good
As I am a student of information technology so they are teaching me the course subject and also soft skill subjects that can help me in my placement journey

Dislikes

The college is located in rural area which is the bad thing
The course curriculum is not at the level of IIT NITs as we are studying some subjects which are introduced in the late semester which IIT and it and study in their second or third semester
The third thing I don't like is that the Student of the college discriminate among each other like the local residents who are bengali's day prefered their friend as Bengali

Placement Experience:

The college average placement are 6 lakh per annum and in my branch out of 64 student only 30 God placement but the mistake is of the students because many companies are visiting our colleges but they couldn't find the talent required for the skilled person they required

Review of Techno International NewTown

Likes

The college provides a moderately good infrastructure so it is more or less good. However some lab equipments have gotten old so upgrading those would be appreciated.
The teachers and students are very friendly so interacting is very easy. Teachers are mostly experienced and quite knowledgeable in their field of expertise. However the college follows the curriculum suggested by makaut which feels outdated.

Dislikes

The college doesn't give any options to play anything in college in their free time so that's an issue in my opinion. Also college isn't keen on giving NOCs for internships. Also they don't tend to provide funding to projects developed by students.

Placement Experience:

Studentsbecome eligible for placements from 7th semester. Various companies such as TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Godrej, etc. come for placements. Earlier many offers used to come however in the recent years the number of offers made have reduced significantly. highest package comes around 10 to 11 lakhs per annum with average being 4-5 lakhs per annum. I have kept my options open after completion of degree in doing further studies that is Mtech or getting into a job whichever seems appropriate at the situation.

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.
