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.

Good Internship Opportunities

Likes

Helpful Faculties, the faculties over here helped us through out the course
Good clean and green campus with water supply at different places in the campus
Structured syllabus for industrial readiness in the curriculum

Dislikes

Nothing such I have disliked, but some classrooms projector did not functioned properly
Some time the guards unnecessarily behaved rude which I hated the most

Placement Experience:

The placement cell provides us with training programs and internships and also if the students are careful and disciplined in the classroms they can crack through job interviews. There is mock viva at the end semester and also some on campus hiring companies came in our college.

BCREC a underrated college

Likes

In my batch there are 64 student and there is only 17 girls.so the girl boy ratio is good.
This college has the largest campus of all the college in the West Bengal so college campus is really good
As I am a student of information technology so they are teaching me the course subject and also soft skill subjects that can help me in my placement journey

Dislikes

The college is located in rural area which is the bad thing
The course curriculum is not at the level of IIT NITs as we are studying some subjects which are introduced in the late semester which IIT and it and study in their second or third semester
The third thing I don't like is that the Student of the college discriminate among each other like the local residents who are bengali's day prefered their friend as Bengali

Placement Experience:

The college average placement are 6 lakh per annum and in my branch out of 64 student only 30 God placement but the mistake is of the students because many companies are visiting our colleges but they couldn't find the talent required for the skilled person they required

The college provides a moderately good infrastructure so it is more or less good. However some lab equipments have gotten old so upgrading those would be appreciated.
The teachers and students are very friendly so interacting is very easy. Teachers are mostly experienced and quite knowledgeable in their field of expertise. However the college follows the curriculum suggested by makaut which feels outdated.

Dislikes

The college doesn't give any options to play anything in college in their free time so that's an issue in my opinion. Also college isn't keen on giving NOCs for internships. Also they don't tend to provide funding to projects developed by students.

Placement Experience:

Studentsbecome eligible for placements from 7th semester. Various companies such as TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Godrej, etc. come for placements. Earlier many offers used to come however in the recent years the number of offers made have reduced significantly. highest package comes around 10 to 11 lakhs per annum with average being 4-5 lakhs per annum. I have kept my options open after completion of degree in doing further studies that is Mtech or getting into a job whichever seems appropriate at the situation.

Average Makaut college with no placements.

Likes

You can focus on gate, or any other job teachers are helpful no issue of attendance.
easily pass as syllabus is not hard,and get a B.tech degree.

Dislikes

poor infracture, lack of resources such as sports facility.
Less qualified teachers with no PHDs, and familiar with basic knowledge.
No placements, whatever you can do is off campus only

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is perceived as average , lacking specific elements that might make it stand out. In my case, the motivation was not to waste a year by opting for a drop. The flexibility in attendance which let me focus on other interests. The curriculum is same as MAKAUT, and the exam frequency is also controlled by MAKAUT .Areas of improvement is infrastructure and better faculty.
