Remarks

My advice would be to choose better college than this.Based on its review from ex students not advertisement.There are lot of problems you might face over here which can not be expressed in words.One will come to know about it after joining.

Entrance Preview

I have given West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination had a rank of 40k. My stream was decided from before hand. The only reason for opting for this college was I didn't had much idea about how a college can change your life the decision was taken within a short moment of time.

Course Curriculum Overview

0.5

Course structure are based on the guidelines of WBUT. There were no research on Computer Science Engineering department. I don't think even the other streams had any such research. 4 yrs course with 8 semester. 2 semester every year. The 1st year subjects were same for all stream.

Internships Opportunities

No internship and stipend are provided. Training are optional which can be taken either from the college or outside.

Placement Experience

1.5

Placements starts with 10,000 to 25,000 maximum. On campus, off campus and poll campus are conducted. 50% student gets placed. Don't go buy the 100% placement advertisement as those are made to attract students. And the mentioned salary package is also not true. Once you get a job offer you will not be able to sit for the rest of the campusing.

College Events

0.5

You will have fresher on the 1st year and Fest every year dedicated to the final year students. Other small programs like teacher's day and student's day will be celebrated in the class. No outside bands are entertained only the college student performs.

Fee Structure And Facilities

3,70,000 in 4 yrs is pretty much same or more than other colleges. You will have a deposit of 9000 before taking admission, which will be refunded after passing out. Average of 45,000 per semester except the 1st one where you will have to pay 60,000.

Fees and Financial Aid

For loan you will have to apply from outside. College will provide you the documents which will be needed by the bank. Scholarship are not available.

Campus Life

2.5

Boys are more than girls as most of the colleges. Labs are okay and extracurricular activities like sports, debates will happen once a year during the fest. Campus life is not that fun as there is nothing much to do. One has to spend time in classroom gossiping.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are the only positives of this college as they are cheap and well maintained. Will cost you 5000 a month. This are within the campus. Food quality are appreciated by all. But strict in living the campus thus many students live them in 2nd year.

Alumni/Alumna

Senior students were very helpful, but as this is subjective. One should not make decision of choosing your college based on this. Obviously the interaction with them changed my experience because I was more friendly with them than my class mates but one may not get such seniors now.

Exam Structure

1 semester every 6 months. 2 interals and final exam every semester. Intenal exams are of 30 marks which will be added to the final semester marks of 70 marks. Making a total of 100. But internal marks dosen't matters because at the end those 30 marks will be on teachers hand and their marking will based on your attendance and reputation with the teacher. One will have to get a minimum of 12 to pass even if you secure 70 out of 70 in the final exam.

Admission

I received a call from the college, there were no such process. First, they brainwashed me in such a way that I ended up by taking admission in their college even without visiting other colleges. Just had to fill up a form and made a 30,000 payment as advance seat booking because I was said that the seats were limited to 60 but found out later that they took in more than 70 students.

Faculty

2.5

50 % of the facilities are good rest is even worse than the primary school teacher. Some teachers are rude by nature may physically abuse the student. Teaching wise not much problem as they will be available for you in their free time. Assignment pressure will be a burden as it is nearly impossible to write such lengthy notes every day after 9.30 to 5 o clock class.

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.
