Brainware University Kolkata, B.Tech Ee

Remarks

Outer view of the campus and the location was awesome. But the teaching quality and social life was a disaster. We got some nice classmates so the journey became memorable.

Entrance Preview

I got a rank of 20000+ in JEE. I choose the college for their long 20 years experience. They assured us for better faculties and also its bit closer to my home. there was no such interview process it was basically based on the jee rank. I choose EE as my subject.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course structure was not up to the mark. Faculties were continuously being changed. though we got some really good ones. the exam pattern of internals is just below the level. the language lab was least interesting to attract the students. So the HU labs were. Unnecessary rules and regulations was there which was not needed for a graduate level college. it felt like school.

Internships Opportunities

No internships are being provided for B.Tech. In fact they didn't provided us the industrial training thoroughly. Its not the kind of service we expected after paying approx 5 lakh.

Placement Experience

There was approx 65 students in our department. Hardly 10% of them were placed. Though we came to know that some of the companies were fake. the total no of department was 6. but the view was same for each departments. We were from Core department but we were being offered IT jobs. Rather i say BPO jobs. Wipro, reliance, TCS were the big names in placement. Though all were for BPO.

College Events

1.5

We hardly celebrated any event i remember. The fest and the freshers were very boring. Once we had a tech-fest that too was a flop. The cultural life was not up to the mark for students. As i think cultural programs are equally important for a student beside studies.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Its an expensive college. The normal fees for btech is appox 3 Lack. but we paid almost a total of 4.5 Lack. The fees were taken in semester basis in advance. There was a lot of unnecessary charges.Library charge was 6000/Sem where we were unable to get the proper books. The semester charges varied between 48000-5300/sem.

Fees and Financial Aid

Education loans were available. but i didn't availed. As it creates a pressure to pay the interest. Though some of my friend availed such loans.

Campus Life

The gender ratio in our department was Boys: Girl: 12:1. whereas in Information Technology and Computer Science department it was almost 1:1. And for civil it was about 20:1. The campus life was avarage we bunked classes too. annual sports, fresher, fest were there though not very attracting. Labs were incomplete as not all equipment were available. no robotics debates were there.

Hostel Facilities

I was not a Hosteler. Though as i know the hostel charges were higher than other institutions. the food quality is just like street quality. romms are not properly cleaned. also no computer or laptop were provided. The rooms contained just a bed and a stu

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

We was the first batch of our college. Recently they are arranging for a alumni. The relationship with our juniors was awesome. This was a no ragging campus.

Exam Structure

The semesters were patterned as per West Bengal University of Technology rules. but the internals were totally disasters to evaluate a student. There were no fixed time for it and sometimes the no of internals also differed. VIVA voice and grand viva were

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

Techno India University , College Review

Likes

One of the best things about my college is all the classrooms and labs are fully air conditioned. The classrooms, labs and even the toilets are cleaned regularly, which really helps to create a comfortable learning environment.
All the clubs of the college remain active all the time no matter whether it's technical clubs or fest related clubs like fun events domain, etc.
The most important thing is that the college is entirely ragging -free. College also maintains a healthy girls to boys ratio.

Dislikes

The classrooms are quite compact compared to the number of students in each class . At times it feels overcrowded and a bit uncomfortable during lectures.
Some of the faculty members are relatively inexperienced. It often feels like they don't have full command over the subject they're teaching, which can affect the overall understanding of important concepts.
Another issue I've noticed is the irregularity in certain subject classes. Not all subjects are taught consistently every semester , and there are high chances of some classes getting missed or not scheduled properly.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible to sit for placements form 7 th semester that is from the beginning of final year. Usually the service based companies come here with cgpa criteria and offer jobs to students.

The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

REVIEW FROM THE END OF A BTECH STUDENT

I applied to multipl colleges offering similar courses. Some collegese were rejected due to high cut offs, limited seats, or delay in the admission process. In a few cases, my scores was slightly below the required cut-off, and in others, the counselling schedule clasehed with my exams. Igot my letter from VITEE but due its high course fee I rejected it. And also got some colleges from WBJEE counselling but either due to infrastructure or high pricing or some issues I rejected all of them. Then finally decided to opt for Brainware University as it is one of the best private university in West Bengal. It is also ranked 1st in IIRF 2024 under Technical Private University in West Bengal category which is the most prominent reason for choosing this university. I chose this college over other because of the transparent admission process, reasonable eligibility criteria and a well- managed academic structure. The faculty support and good student feedback were key deciding factors. Compared to other colleges the process is way smoother and organized. My college support both direct admission and through WBJEE counselling. Through direct admission you just have to visit the official website of the Brainware University and enroll yourself. You will get a call from the admission cell as soon as possible. The person (counsellor) talking to you will describe you each and every detail about the course you are interested in. The basic criteria is 60% of marks in 12th boards. They slo sometimes take their own entrance exam in a online format which will get evaluated at the same moment....Read More

I chose this college cause it is a value for money college. The other colleges that i applied for are - Adamas University, Swami Vivekananda University. Comparing this college(Brainware University) with Adamas University - The course fee is very high in Adamas University than Brainware University. Total Fee for Btech CSE in Adamas University is 8,00,000 while 419600 in Brainware university, meaning half the price. The fee structure in Swami vivekananda University is 3,60,000 but it hasnt much placement opportunities so brainware univeristy is like all for one with low fees .
