What Students Say

Likes

College location, ambience, extra curricular activities
Educated professors, helpful seniors and well equipped laboratory

Dislikes

College placement, lack of faculties, lack of facilities where Other GOVT. Colleges have much facilities.
Not maintained laboratory for lack of guidance

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Being a GOVT. College highly educated teachers are available here but they are just okayish in teaching. There are 4 internal exams and 2 practical exams in each semester. The theory exams are not difficult to get a passing score.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 6000 per year

Placement Experience

Students are eligible for campus placement after the 6th sem, as it is situated in an offbeat location so not that many companies come for on-campus placement. Companies like L&T, COGNIZANT, ADANI, WORLEY, TCS NINJA, etc. The placement of the computer science department is quite good while in core branches most students opt for higher studies through GATE. The percentage of on-campus placement is 40% to 50%. I will go for higher studies.

Fees and Financial Aid

This is a Government college, so fees structure of core department is 3000 Rs per semester and for non-core department the fees structure is 6000 Rs per semester. There are facilities of availing GOVT. Scholarship like SVMCM, OASIS etc. Those Who are not eligible for this scholarship they can go for FREE SHIP scholarship in which students have to pay 0 Rs for semester.

Campus Life

The college is surrounded by nature the ventilation of every class is relatively good compared to other colleges. The library is quite big and every kind of academic help is present there. The official fest is called ESPERANZA here, it is organized by seniors in April. Many possible activities like games, singing, dancing, etc, takes place at that time for every student from every department can be part of those competition. We have various clubs like Melodies of CGEC, Tech o nics, Rongmilanti, debate club, etc.

Admission

To get admission we have to clear wbjee and need a rank up to 20000, in decentralized counseling the rank goes up to 40000, during the admission process we have to pay around 9000 Rs. Any other process except the Wbjee scorecard is not valid.

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

Review of Techno International NewTown

Likes

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.
