Remarks

The reasons are: 1. The college is very near to my house. 2. The fees is affordable. 3. It ranks among the top 10 colleges in West Bengal. 4. My WBJEE rank surpassed the eligibility criteria for my desired course ( BTech in CSE)

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

In CSE, the syllabus is not that updated with the Industry standard so that's a bit of a problem for the students as we have to opt for online courses to stay updated with the topics that are trending in today's date. Academy of Technology provides decent industrial exposure as compared to other private engineering colleges in West Bengal. So to give some perspective I want to put some additional data. The percentage of students who got placed in CSE is approximately 92% The highest package is around 8.8 Lacs. The average package is around 3.6 Lacs. The lowest package is around 2.8 Lacs. The top recruiting companies are TCS WIPRO COGNIZANT etc. Around 30% students got internship. The top Roles offered in our course are SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, DATA ANALYST, SYSTEM ENGINEERING, DATA SCIENTIST etc. There are three kinds of teachers in our college: a) One who can teach well and can make a topic understand very easily. b) One who try to teach but we can't understand all of the things that he/she is trying to teach. c) One whose voice is so soft that he/she only teaches the first benchers and the others feel neglected.

Placement Experience

The percentage of students who got placed in CSE is approximately 92%. The top recruiting companies are TCS WIPRO COGNIZANT etc. Around 30% students got internship. The top Roles offered in our course are SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, DATA ANALYST, SYSTEM ENGINEERING, DATA SCIENTIST etc. The placement process starts from 6th semester. First the student needs to pass the placement exam and also be eligible for the other criterias offered by the company. After that a stipulated date is given by a company and the students need to come in formals and then the interview takes place the entire day or two. Then the selected students are notified through invitation letter from the company.

College Events

There is hardly any extracurricular activities held in the college but the students are allowed to bring their sports entertainment and play. Also there is a gym and taekwondo training that is accessible after college hours.

Campus Life

3.5

The classrooms are large and airy but the maintenance work is not that great for which there are many damp walls in many classrooms. Also the classrooms aren't swept regularly. There's no Wifi connection accessible by students. Instead there's NETWORK JAMMER for jamming any devices running on external networks ( used during interviews).

Hostel Facilities

The hostel quality is average with average to good quality rooms but they are not that big. There are 2 beds for 2 roommates. The food quality in the hostel is decent. The canteen's food is really great and cheap. It's of good quality. The main problem is that there aren't many tables and chairs to sit and eat, instead of the students have to stand and eat outside.

Hostel Fee: INR 40000 per year

Likes

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.

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 hostel does require everyday cleaning and renovation as well as the campus.

I don't know much about this but I guess from the sixth semester the students are eligible for campus placements. This year a student from AEIE got a package of 11.2 lacs per annum and the average is around 4 lacs per annum.

Likes

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.
