Remarks

Nothing as such. There are a few rooms for improvements that I just talked about.I hope they consider them.

Entrance Preview

I took Wbjee exam for entering into the course. My rank was 18537. Initially I opted for this college because it was near to my home and also I heard rave reviews about it. But when I entered it was a different scenario. It's a good college, well located, takes the minimum fees but I believe there is still need for improvement in facilities, labs and placements.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is as per the norms of the university under which it comes.Its not designed well but the college has nothing to do with it.Faulty strength is bad but the ones are there are extremely good and try their level best.

Internships Opportunities

Their were only paid internships. As such no big company comes in the college for internships,but we had sessions from companies like Symantec.Also there were few startups were we had internships. But they were paid.

Placement Experience

2.5

Not even a single person is not placed after passing out of the college. But the college provides placement to only one company every year and that is Tech Mahindra.Rest all MNC placements are off campus. People passing out are placed in TCS,CTS,Infosys,Ericsson etc..

College Events

In terms of extra curricular no one can beat CIEM.It has a great soccer team,some good TT players. A few college bands which are extremely popular in the city. The cultural fest every year is humongous. Top k notch performances are seen.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Its very affordable. Probably the cheapest in the state among all private engineering colleges, Though their was a recent hike when it became self financed from govt aided but that was marginal.

Fees and Financial Aid

In this part CIEM outshines every other college. It has both merit based and need based scholarships for students.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life is just amazing. It has got 5.5 acres of lush green campus And students are given freedom to do everything they want in it.Labs are not so good,sports and competitions are held once a year during fest.

Hostel Facilities

Unfortunately college doesn't provide hostel facilities but there are messes available nearby and all are affordable and very good.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

It has got a great alumni network. Once this college had produced superior quality students who are spread across the globe and working in prominent organizations.

Exam Structure

Exams are as per university norms, Divided into 8 semesters. marks of each paper comes from internals and the rest 70 is based on paper based exam.

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.

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.

The main reason behind choosing the college over other colleges is it's electrical department's history. The electrical department has received many awards, certificates for the projects development. There was a time when the college had 120 students in the electrical department. Making it one of the highest in the state. These things pulled my attention and also pulled me in take an admission in the institute. Also the department has won multiple awards at both the state and national level.
