What Students Say

Likes

The friends and the atmosphere of the campus.
The campus is easy to reach from most parts of Kolkata.
The food served in the canteen is at times tasty. They make biryani every Friday.

Dislikes

The excessive and often unnecessary rules and regulations about personal grooming.
The lack of fests and functions. It gets boring at times. While other colleges invest in a fest culture, St. Thomas doesn't because of its 'disciplinary' constraints.
The attendance shenanigans and often hefty fines levied by the college to force you into coming to college.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose ECE because I didn't have much interest in coding. The faculty ratio is adequate. Most of the teachers are doctorates in their respective fields and have a good way of teaching. The exams are held on a timely basis and it is relatively easy to pass in all of them if you put time into the subject.

Class Size: 62Course Fees: INR 95000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Students become eligible for placement from the end of their 6th semester. This may vary however depending upon the visiting companies. P360, Nomura FinTech, LTI Mindtree, Cognizant and Wipro are some of the visiting companies. The lowest package ranges from 3 lakhs to 4 lakhs per annum. The highest package on campus was 8 lakhs. However, students get better packages than their capacity off-campus. The placement percentage is quite healthy with around 85-90% of students getting placed. I'm planning to pursue a career in the central government after the completion of my degree.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure in West Bengal is extremely competitive. You can complete your bachelor's at St. Thomas at around 4 lakhs for the entire duration of the course. The college helps students get education loans through various banks. However, I do not have much idea about the financial assistance and campus job aspect of the question.

Campus Life

3.5

The campus is extremely disciplined with a few rules that will bother you from time to time. There are no fests held here apart from the program or functions that are organised by the students and some faculty. The library is well equipped. The classrooms have projectors which are used for showing PPTs. There is a ground but, the access is somewhat limited. There are common rooms for the boys and girls respectively. Clubs are non-existent.

Admission

Admissions into most of the engineering colleges in West Bengal are done through WBJEE. A good enough rank of around 10-15k will make you eligible for admission into St. Thomas. The WBJEE admission process is held every year and you can find relevant details on the website itself. The counselling process was better when it was online. It should be brought back.

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

My experience about techno

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
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.
