Remarks

The college has a long way to go. But still the growth till date has been significant.

Course Curriculum Overview

The college is affiliated to MAKAUT, the state's technological university. It follows AICTE curriculum. The syllabus is provided by the state university. Apart from the various assignments and projects the final assessment is done through end- semester examinations conducted by the University.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 12000 per year

Placement Experience

The college is new(estd. 2016). The 1st batch graduated in 2020 with about 40% placements. The college was able to bring 8-10 companies this year.

College Events

There are numerous events celebrated throughout the academic year. Starting with the Fresher's inauguration ceremony. Then there is the teacher's day, college foundation day, Vishwakarma puja and the Cultural and Technical Fest. Besides these there are various sports and cultural events organised by the various clubs in the college.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Being a state run institution the fee is quite feasible. For my course the tution fee is 1000rs per month. Besides these there are some one time payments that are to be made at the time of admission which totals upto 6000rs. The payments is done by demand draft issued by any nationalised bank.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college dont have any scholarship programme of its own. The students may avail government funded scholarships which are provided based on merit and financial status.

Campus Life

The gender ratio is about 1girl:5boys. The students comes from various backgrounds with different caste,religion, and economic status. There is no discrimination based on these. The college has a healthy and friendly environment. There are numerous clubs like debate,drama,art etc. which holds events of their own.

Hostel Facilities

I didn't opt for the hostel. I live in a PG whose monthly rent is 2000rs. There are a huge number of pg so accomodation is not a problem. The rent is between 1500-2000. The number of student per pg varies.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Technically the first batch of alumni graduated this year. College seniors have always been helpful from the very 1st day. we can always count on them for any kind of help.

Admission

Like all other state run technical colleges, the admission is through the WBJEE. After the results are out we have to fill up our college choices in a e-counselling process. The seat is alloted according to the rank obtained by the student. Even after the process ends seats may remain vacant which are filled by decentralised counselling conducted by the college authority itself.

Faculty

The faculty is top notch. Majority of them hold PhD. and have had meritorious academic career at esteemed institutions and vast experience. As for my course there are 7 lecturers with average age around 40-45 yrs with all of them having a master's degree atleast.

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

One of the things i liked the most was the quality of lecture given by the professors
The campus is very spacious the college has every facility
A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

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.

The Framework is said to be great, with well equipped classroom and simply get to the libraries.
The offices at this college are great. In any case, these changes depending on the quality of the companies going by the college and the victory of the internship changes by the internship.
Understudies appreciate the campus life and flexibility to associate with others understudies. However, there are few impediments such as the division of floors between senior and junior. College life is nice and could be an inviting place for others

Dislikes

The college doesn't have lodging, and understudies must organize their settlement locally.
The college doesn't have a big field to play like any other big college

Placement Experience:

In Syamaprasad College placements and internships are given to the final year students. And the companies that offer placements are Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. The highest package goes up to 20-24 lakhs and the average package goes to 6-8 lakhs. 70-80% of students get their placement in my college. At that time I planned to get the degree and apply to a multinational company with a high salary package with company facilities.
