Remarks

Overall good management is there in the college and a student senate is also there for the students to raise their issues to college management.

Entrance Preview

I got admission through WBJEE. Rank-1100.I chose this college due to its good reputation and good placement record.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum takes into account the need for industries as well as provides insight for research also. Students are allowed to do project with the professors if interested.Course curriculum is spread over 8 semesters dealing with every detail required in the discipline.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, my college provide internship.It provides both summer internship as well as winter internship for students. I don't know the exact amount of stipend provided but it is a decent one.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placement and job opportunities are wonderful. Many reputed companies come and visit the campus such as Coal India Limited, Microsoft, Vedanta, Amazon, Directi, Maruti Suzuki, Britannia offering packages ranging from 4.5 lpa to 30 lpa. Many other big companies visit but its not possible to name them all. Apart from these companies mass recruiters also visit these companies.

College Events

Our college has one techno management fest namely INSTRUO which boasts participation from more than 50 colleges.Apart from that each department holds its own technical fest. One cultural fest is also there known as REBECA which is the biggest cultural fest of Kolkata.

Fee Structure And Facilities

My tuition fee is ₹ 35000 per Semester. Apart from it Mess fee is around ₹ 3500 per month. Then a sum of around ₹ 5000 is for infrastructure and other miscellaneous per semester.Overall it is feasible. If one cannot pay the fee then there are banks within the campus which provide loan. Also scholarship is also provided to meritorious cum poor students.

Fees and Financial Aid

If one cannot pay the fee then there are banks within the campus which provide loan. Also scholarship is also provided to meritorious cum poor students. Few scholarships are GAABESU, FFE, etc.

Campus Life

Current admission process is through JEE Main which attracts students from all across India so there is good diversity in the college. A lot of clubs are there in the college in which students can indulge themselves in such as debate , robotics, photography, music, sports.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Upto second year Rooms are shared between four students. Each student is provided with his own table, bed , locker. From 3rd year onwards, single bed rooms are provided. Mess food quality is very good and it is managed by students themselves. Hostel rent is nominal with mere ₹ 1900 per Semester.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Most of the infrastructure of the college is built by the help of alumni themselves. They are also helpful in reaching out to industries for the students.

Exam Structure

In each semester there will be one mid term and one end term apart from class tests and assignments.There will be 3 to 4 labs each semester each having one lab class every week. These things will keep you busy the whole semester.You can get your free time at weekends.

Admission

I got admission through WBJEE. Admission form was available through online portal. College and course was allocated through online counseling in three rounds.Students are allowed to lock their option at any stage of counseling. Documents are verified at the verification centre allocated.

Faculty

4.5

Almost all the faculties are Ph.D with more than 15 years of experience and they have also worked in the industries. They also indulge in many research and design solutions for industries as well. They are in regular contact with the industries.There are more than 10 professors in my discipline.

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.

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.

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.
