What Students Say

Likes

Student Community is quite good and alumni are always beside us
Tuition fees is affordable and you get the Government tag
Academic Curriculum is modern with NPTEL moocs made compulsory

Dislikes

Very small campus but it is located in prime location
Maintanence of the college premises is not upto the mark
Placement opportunities could have been better for CSE/IT students

Course Curriculum Overview

I always had a passion for Learning Computers and softwares. I also had a keen interest in computer programs. Faculties are few but correspondingly students are also few, only 40 in each batch of each department. Most faculties hold a PHD degree and are great in their respective fields. Exams are well conducted here with a passing number of 50 marks out of 100 marks

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 12000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Onwards 7th semester students are eligible for placements. Ceramic Technology department really shines in this factor. Their placements are above a 100% with most of them having a PPO in hand during their internships. CSE/IT students opt for GATE/CAT or try Off-campus opportunities. Though most of them get a good packages somehow. Highest on campus package for Non-core is 8LPA and lowest is 3.5LPA and for Ceramic/Core it is 12LPA and 3LPA respectively. Almost 70% of CSE/IT students gets placed. My plan is to opt for Masters after getting my BTech from here.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are affordable as it's a State Government Engineering College. The tuition fee of CSE is Rs. 6000 per semester. Scholarship like SVMCM are also available. Financial assistance for needy are always there.

Campus Life

The name of the annual tech fest is KarmaTek and the annual fest is Jagriti they usually take place in October April respectively. Huge number of Books are available in the library and can you taken with a library card. Classrooms are decent and airy. Each Classroom have a projector too. Sports activities like intra and inter football tournament and cricket tournaments take place frequently with chess, carrom,table tennis etc. A tech club is there , a quiz club is present, GDSC is also present. Annual college magazine named Pratibhimbha is a cherry on top.

Admission

We have to score decent in WBJEE exam to get into this college. A rank within 4000 can fetch you a seat in CSE department. Admission procedure is purely transparent. Decentralised counseling conducted by college also happens if seats remain vacant.

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

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.

What to expect at GCECT

The admission process was easy and smooth. You can take admission into BTech for a course of 4 years duration after clearing WBJEE and securing a decent rank. For CSE branch the rank ranges to a limit of 5k while for IT the limit is close to 7k (general category). Decentralised admissions can further push this range, but the variation is different every year. Semester exams are scheduled once every six months and 2 mid sem exams preceed these semesters. Exams are moderate and you can score well if you've gone through class notes....Read More
