Shrey's Review On Asansol Engineering College - [AEC], Asansol

Sometimes college management are very irresponsible at the time of placements and there is some college politics like every college.

I took WBJEE and secured 7400 rank . As i wanted to opt for Mechanical Engineering and Asansol Engineering College was at the top in private colleges for Mechanical Engineering so opted for it.

Good lab facilities are available in the college but its not upto the mark of Research standards.Metal Workshop is one of the largest one of West Bengal colleges and 5-6 lathe manual machines and CNC lathes are available. Course structure are as prescribed by the university rules and the main papers are same as taught in top engineering colleges of India.

College can arrange internship in different companies but maximum of them do not give stipend for the internship. Some of the companies are Indian Railways ,SAIL,Shyam Steel etc.

Placements for It,Computer Science and Electronics Departments are very good. It's approximately 80% placements in these branches. But coming to the core branches like Mechanical,Electrical and Civil placement comes down to 30%. Major companies are TCS,MindTree,Mphasis and many more.

Technical and cultural fests took place very year with different technical events as well as cultural events. Technical events included computer programming competition in the field of information technology and robotic wars.Gaming contests were also there like paint ball and counter strike ( one of the games played by most of the engineering students of every college in India ). Even sarswati puja and vishwakarma puja were celebrated every year.

The fee dtructure is feasible and very less as compared to private colleges of India. The fees for all eight semesters i.e four years was approximately 3 lakhs rupees and after including hostel fees with fooding and lodging it would be ( 3lakh + 1.6 lakhs ).

No scholarship facilities were offered by the college but there was a scheme by the techniczl university of West Bengal named as TFW scheme in which students had to pay 2000-4000 per semester. For the loan facilities students need to arrange on their own.

The college campus is of 19 acres and is situated in the outskirts of the city which makes the campus and areas around it less noisy . Gender ratio in every department was okay except the core branches Mechanical, Electrical and Civil sports facilities are for cricket, football, badminton and basketball. There is a gym for boys inside the college campus.Competitions like robotics takes place at the time of college fests in the month of March or April every year.

Hostels rooms were shared by two students. They were not much spacious but not too congested . Mess food of the hostel for first year was not good but after that for three years it was maintained by the seniors so it was good. Yes hostel seats were few and some of the students had to take a PG out of the hostel in which room rents ranged from 800-1500 per months plus 1200-2000 fooding per month. PG facilities are available in huge numbers around the college.

Senior students are really helpful for everything be it academics, competitions or recruitment information. They behave like friends there is no difference between us and them.

Exams and labs were neither very frequent nor it was like chilled out. It was well balanced , had labs everyday one or two classes and theory classes approximately 4-5 classes. The time for the classess were around 5-6 hours a day with a break of 50 minutes for lunch.

Senior faculties are available for maximum subjects taught in all the eight semesters and they have an experience of atleast 10 years . The lab incharges are also well qualified and experienced . Some young faculty members are very friendly and are easily approachable anytime.
