Remarks

For taking admission into an engineering college in West Bengal you must have appeared for wbjee. After securing a valid GMR you have to sit in the counselling process conducted by the wbjee board. To get into a good engineering college your rank should be lies under 5000.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum is similar to other engineering colleges but as an autonomous college, it takes an edge over others. The student ratio is also quite good, the vacant seat is filled by lateral admission.

Internships Opportunities

Almost in every department of Calcutta university, there is an internship opportunity provided by the college. Mainly in the 3rd year of your course, you get an internship and the duration of this internship is 2 months.

Placement Experience

On-campus placement at cu is quite decent, it's improving day by day. Although many companies like TCS ninja, digital, Wipro, Infosys, and cognizant are visited on campus, many students are getting jobs off campus.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very low as it is a government engineering college. You have to pay 3600 per semester. West Bengal students get scholarships like SVMCM. Many students get on-campus Jobs, so if you are serious about your study then you get a handsome job.

Campus Life

Campus Life is one of the best parts of college Life, here you make friends and get an opportunity to interact with many other students. Calcutta university library has a huge collection of books so you get the one which you are searching for.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Hostel life, at the University of Calcutta, is too good. Criteria for getting a seat in a hostel is the distance of your home from the college should be above 60 km. Fees are 1650 per year. You may get a triple share room

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

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.

Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
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.
