Entrance Preview

WB JEE I was in top 700. It was my base location and dint want to move to other place also it is one of the cheapest institution in world. Other friends were joining and was also quite ok with the branch of choice.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course was precise and what is really needed. The labs were awesome and were have quite good machine, instruments and very active. Course content was quite in depth and helpful in learning and practicality.

Internships Opportunities

Many companies came for internship. It was quite a long ago. Combination of public/private sector came to here. Seriously dont remember stipend but internship was really good in learning.

Placement Experience

3.5

70% were placed. Companieslike GAiL, Arvind Mils, IOC, TCS, Hindusthan Lever, ICI paints etc came. The package at that time was pretty decent starting rom 6k -15 k pm.

College Events

4.5

Seriously dont remember much. There were lot of fests/ events. Ample amount of activities and social grouping. You will run out of time. Mountaineering club, photography club etc was there to.

Fees and Financial Aid

Quite a few were there but never got any. Only got some scholarship from my father office as they were giving the scholarship.

Campus Life

Extracurricular was really good and ample scope. Gender Ratio was still skewed towards boys , Workshops were good and healthy. It has people from all class, society, Nicely balanced life.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni at that time was weaker but being closeby to IICT lot of touch base programs were created whic really helped us to get the good exposure to industrialization.

Exam Structure

The structure and frequency of exams was really balanced.Obviously during exams it was tight but even then that is what life is going to be and was like that. Lab were very much result oriented.

Faculty

4.5

Yes faculty were good and subject knowledge was high, may be little lack of experience in practicals. Overall they ensured we got well trained and groomed to get good exposure.

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.

However, by that time I had already secured admission to Jogomaya Devi College....Read More
