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.

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.

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.
