Remarks

The college is good in many fields may it be academic or placements or extracurricular activities. It needs to develop labs a bit more to be at par with elite institutes in india like iits or nits or iits.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The couse curriculum is good infact. We have a new syllabus which was introduced from the year 2018 itself based on the recommendations of AICTE which was infact formulated by MAKAUT and is almost same as our college syllabus as it is a autonomous college, so syllabus depends

Placement Experience

4.5

The placement opportunity is quite good in the college. The Training and placement cell works a lot in this regard to refer students for intern in good places and also for placements. Also in our college people can do internships under professors ie research interns.

College Events

Sristi, the tech fest of the college is held generally in the 3rd weekend of February which generally is for 3-4 days this year it was in its 10th anniversary. Jeclat, the cultural fest is the biggest in the region and is held for 8 days.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Just 1 thousand rupees a month so 6k per semester. Being a government college, fees are subsided by the state government. The fees is quite feasible and also tfw i.e. tuition fees waiver is there for poor students

Fees and Financial Aid

60000 for those who got 75%+ in 12th under swami Vivekananda scholarship and are from WB board and 20100 for SC, ST, OBC students irrespective of marks under oasis category. Also full and half fee waiver is there for poor students who dont come under this category

Campus Life

4.5

Labs are adequately equipt. Gender ratio though is quite bad, religion has no space inside the campus though. Politics is absent with no students union or such. Sports is quite good inside the campus. Several intercollege tournaments take place in our college for cricket, football and volleyball. Our college has separate cricket and football grounds and also two volleyball courts, basketball court, badminton court, etc

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Yes, hostels are good and livable. In 1st and 2nd years rooms are triple sharing, in 3rd year they are double and single rooms are available in 4th year. Apart from that high speed LAN connection is also there

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni association is quite strong and has a very good presence. They also guide us in bridging the gap between college and industry. They helps us to be ready for placements. Also several alumnis who are professors in IITs help the current students

Admission

I had to appear for WBJEE and then after scoring a decent rank there, as i am a candidate from unreserved category, applied for online counselling then according to choice filling, i got the seat reserved for me in this college in ECE department

Faculty

4.5

The faculties in our college are good infact and also are highly educated. They are friendly with the students which also increase the student to faculty relationship which is highly required for proper understanding by the students.

Likes

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.

Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

Unbiased Review of JGEC

I applied to a few other government engineering colleges but i ended up choosing JGEC.The main reasons: JGEC is a well established,fully government owned autonomous college,with good accreditation.It also has a long history since 1961,which made me trust its academic environment.Compared to other colleges i applied to ,JGEC felt more stable and credible.It also has a reasonable structure and good campus infrastructure,labs and oppurtunities for intership .There is also a good scope for higher studies like GATE.The marks vs rank went extremely high in WBJEE 2025.That's why i didn't get a college i applied for which is near my home. You can take admission by giving WBJEE and JELET only.As it is a government college you can only take admission if you get a good rank .There is also different cut-offs for diff catagory.The overall admission process is was very smooth and systematic....Read More
