Entrance Preview

I entered Jadavpur through WBJEE. The WB state engineering entrance examination. I ranked 881 in GMR. I entered this college because it is the best engineering college in west bengal.

Course Curriculum Overview

Our college is under Jadavpur University. So the curriculum is fully up to date.Research work is the speciality of this university.With JU ranked among the top 80 universities in Asia you can have a clear picture of our record.In India based on advanced research faculty JU is ranked among top 10.

Internships Opportunities

Internship opportunities are huge. The providers are Tata, DSP, Amazon, Goldman and Sachs, HUL, HP just to name a few of them. As I am a fresher so don't know much about the stipend but seniors informed that internship experiences are awesome. They are provided with actual real life problems to solve with deadlines and mentorship.

Placement Experience

The recruiters include Google, Amazon, Goldman and Sachs, Rolls Royce, Snapdeal, Vedanta, Tata industries, RIL, L&T, Honeywell, Jindal and all the IT companies included and many more. The average packages from BE department is somewhere around 5.5 LPA. Last year the highest package was grabbed by a student of CSE of 1.1 crore per annum.

College Events

The technical fests are departmental like trajectory, sparkz etc receive massive participation from all over the state including IIT kgp ,Nit Dgp. The grand Engineering tech-fest is Srijan. The departmental freshers are special attraction. Electrophoria(ETCE), Ferroholic(metallurgy), Edifice(Civil) to name a few. Sanskriti is the biggest college fest in bengal that is organised by JU.

Fee Structure And Facilities

As JU is a state funded university the fee here is very low. The fees for engineering and technology for all departments is Rs 2400 per year and Rs 710 as the admission fee. The fees for the arts and other faculties are roughly around the same mark. The examination fee is Rs 200 per semester.

Exam Structure

The exam structure is usual and student friendly. The labs are regular and very well equipped with very helpful lab assistants. The class tests are not over the top hectic but regular. Exam slots are provided to the students and the students decide the exact exams in the respective slots provided.

Admission

I entered through WBJEE. The form fill up for WBJEE generally starts from January with the examination generally held in the month of May. After that the Joint Board organises e-counselling process where you are allotted the seats according to you respective ranks.

Faculty

JU has an esteemed faculty unit with the teachers from JU itself, IITs, NITs, IIESTs etc. And many visiting professors also.An average of 75% of the faculty have Ph.ds in their respective departments.They are very qualified and all student friendly. They provide us with adequate assignments to learn more.

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.

The Pros and Cons of Joining Jadavpur University Masters of Arts in Economics

1) I applied for Delhi School of Economics, however couldn't manage an admission due to the extreme cutoff on CUET exam for the same. I had confirmed admission from North Bengal University, however it was not feasible since I had a choice in Jadavpur University. Jadavpur University has the best rank among all other colleges I had a confirmed admission to, so I chose this University. 2) I wanted to study in Delhi School of Economics, but couldn't make it there due to the extensive cutoff in CUET which I unfortunately couldn't clear. 3) Jadavpur University conducts its own internal exam for admission into its esteemed Masters of Arts [M.A.] programme. However one can get through by CUET exams as well, however that needs a decent score. The cutoff in the internal exam is around 70% for General Category and for CUET, the cutoff varies yearly....Read More
