Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Being a newly founded college this college lacks adequate faculties for every department. Though there are nearly enough faculties in non-core departments in core branches the condition is scary. The teachers who are teaching in this college are very much educated and experienced. The only issue is in the number of faculties present.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 6000 per year

Placement Experience

After 6th sem students are eligible for placements. As it is situated in a backward place companies often hesitate to come. Yet due to the academic performances Some good companies like TCS Ninja, Worley, L&T, Adani Power, and Coding Ninja come every year for Core and Non-core placements. The average package is about 4 lpa. 30-40% of students get placement. Many of the students opt for higher studies resulting in a lower percentage. The highest-ever placement is 21lpa in Microsoft

Fees and Financial Aid

Being a government engineering college the college fees in very less compared to any other tier 3 private college. For ECE & CSE the semester fee is 6000/semester whereas for Core branches it is 3000/Semester. All kinds of government scholarships like SVMCM, and Aikyashree are present here. Those who are in responsible posts for this scholarship and loans are very helpful. Student Credit Card Scheme is also available.

Campus Life

Now coming to the best part about CGEC. It is situated by the bank of the Torsha river. The classrooms are airy and well-decorated. The campus is well organized(not like private ones). In a library, you will get all types of academic help. The library is under continuous renovation. CGEC has its own active clubs for extracurricular activities. Some notable clubs here are Debate Club, Creative Pens, Rongmilanti, Melodies Of CGEC etc. CGEC has its own sports club and big ground for sports. Apart from outdoor CGEC have carrom, Chess and Table tennis as indoor facility. The annual tech fest here is ESPERANZA organized normally in the month of April.

Admission

Coochbehar Government College allows admission only through Wbjee counselling with a proper scorecard. As a tier 3 college, a rank within 20k is considered to get admission to this particular college. In the decentralized spot round, the rank goes into 30k for general.

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.

In case of my couse everything is coverd but it would have been much better of they focus on practicals more rather than theory. If they make us aware of all the new technologies that are used in the industry.

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.
