Remarks

GCELT my college was the best thing that could have happened to me. It is a very reputed institution with a great history. It is governmental and hence fees are very low yet you can get all the facilities. The faculty is good and the placement record is good. Location is excellent.

Entrance Preview

To make it to this prestigious government institution I had to crack WBJEE and secure a rank of 1811 in the year 2010.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The college was under West Bengal University of Technology. The courses were finely divided and as the experience in the curriculum progressed the course became tougher.

Internships Opportunities

Leading IT companies like Wipro,Tech Mahindra,IBM come to offer internship offers. The offers vary with each company. But the fact is the valuable time spent with these leading firms can take you far ahead in your career.

Placement Experience

3.5

For placements we are not far behind. Being a reputed governmental organization we have a strict entry policy based on merit. So leading firms like Infosys,Wipro,Tech mahindra,TCS,CTS etc visit our campus from time to time.

College Events

4.5

Our college has two main fests. One is for the geeks and the tech-freaks the Engineers which is an annual techno-creative fest. It's a three day affair with events like coding, quizzes,debugging,games etc. The other is the annual cultural fest with all types of concerts plays and lots of fun.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Being a governmental institution fees was never a problem even for the financially challenged. The engineering fees is as low as Rs 6000 for leather technology Rs 12000 for CSE and Rs 24000 for IT.

Fees and Financial Aid

Government understands that money shouldn't be a factor when it comes to education. So scholarships are assured to BPL category students and to minorities.

Campus Life

3.5

College was entirely merit based. Campus life was cool and happening. Friendships and rejoicements filled the air. The atmosphere and the location was excellent.

Hostel Facilities

The hostels were excellently located just beside the college in the quiet and pristine locations of salt lake. The rent too is very cheap just about Rs 300 per month.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are helpful and supportive. They will help you in the exam time,before placements for organizing fests in financial times,in times of enjoyment and parties.

Exam Structure

The college is under WBUT university. It follows a semester pattern i.e. two exams in a particular year. The semesters consist of both compulsory and optional papers with lab papers as required.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty was very experienced and was one of the best. They were all highly qualified and taught us with elan. They also encouraged and motivated us in our extra curricular activities.

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.

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
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.

Placement Experience:

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.
