    College Infrastructure

    There is a good infrastructure in our college, and full internet is available on the campus. There are lots of Laboratories in the college. Some of the classes are digital classrooms with projectors installed. There is a central library where students get mostly academic books but students are not allowed to study in the library. Hostel conditions are good in terms of electricity, water, and internet connectivity. But the space living space is not clean and mess food is not good and unhygienic.

    Academics

    I am currently studying Information Technology because I love computers and coding. Mostly the faculty members are well-qualified and a unique teaching skills. The curriculum is not updated not adapted to the recent technologies and teaches the old scrap technologies. This does not make students industry ready. Students should put effort into their skill development.

    Placements

    The most favorite thing in my college is placements. There is a record 100% placement in the Information Technology department in the 2022 batch. Cognizant is the mass requitor and Uber provides the highest placement 43 LPA and the average package offered by the companies is 12 LPA. Students got into MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Capgemini, L&T, Morgan Stanly, etc.

    Value for Money

    There is a total of 60000 costs per year that need to study and hostels, 28000 for tuition fees and 32000 for hostel fees. I think the tuition fees are too expansive compared to other departments. So, I think my money is not the value of worth it.

    Campus Life

    The college campus is very beautiful and students enjoy a very good college life. Students enjoy the annual fest JECLET and tech fest Sristi. There are lots of clubs like sports, drama, music, dance, Coding, Space research club, robotics club, etc. The teachers are very helpful. The college location is beside the National Highway, and there is a Hospital 500m near the college.

    Value for Money

    As it's a government college,tution fees are very low as expected.But if you take hostel,you have to pay extra fees like 13k or 14k or you can also take mess.It's completely your choice.

    Campus Life

    You will absolutely love college life here.JECLAT and Sristi are the biggest fests here and the seniors are very helpful and knowledgeable.Its surroundings are absolutely superb.

    College Infrastructure

    Yes, infrastructure of this college is good. The classrooms and laboratories are well furnished. As a engineering college it provide us all essential facilities. The central library of our college consists of lots of books as it is one of the oldest engineering college of the country. we have total 3 sports ground and 5 hostels in our campus. The hostel food is good and in the hostel we get wi-fi and library facility. But the campus is not well maintained and is not cleaned regularly.

    Academics

    currently i am studying electrical engineering and i am in the first year . The quality of teachers is very good and the way they deliver the lessons is very enjoyable . They teach us in such a way that everything becomes very interesting to us . They are also very helpful and clear all our doubts . The course is very much updated . professors not only gives us theoretical knowledge but helps us to gain knowledge through practical experiment. If I study properly my future will be bright.

    Placements

    placement in our college is average. This year almost 70% students get placed with an average package 3.8 lpa . one of them is placed in MEDIA.NET with an package of 30 lpa. But in 2019 the placement scenario was not good at all. so placement varies from year to year . some no of companies visit our campus every year but they offer 3 to 3.5 lpa.

    Value for Money

    I am in electrical engineering department and my 4 years course fee is just 35000 . For all the core branches the course fee is minimum . But in case of Informational technology it is almost 1.10 lakhs for 4 years . But according to me it is very much worthy because if i go to pursue the same degree to a private engineering college it will take huge amount of money.

    Campus Life

    campus life is very good in our college. seniors are very helpful to us . There is no ragging in our college . There is total 18 clubs like coder's club , rotract club, dance club , drama club , photography club etc . our college also has an initiative named JOTI. This is mainly a free night study center where students from nearby slum come for studying.our college also has SRISTI(technical fest) and JECLET(cultural fest). college staffs, professors and alumnus are also very helpful.

    Have a question related to JGEC Jalpaiguri ?

    If i score 65 marks in wbjee then can i take admission in JGEC in CSE Branch?

    Based on the previous year's WBJEE cutoff ranks for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC), scoring 65 marks might make it challenging but not entirely impossible to secure a seat.

    Looking at the 2024 cutoff data, the closing ranks for the General category (Home State) in the three rounds of counselling for CSE were quite low, ranging from 1747 to 2157 . These ranks typically correspond to significantly higher marks than 65 in the WBJEE.

    However, the actual rank you secure with 65 marks in WBJEE 2025 will be crucial. The marks vs. rank correlation can vary each year depending on the overall performance of the candidates and the difficulty level of the exam. Generally, a score of 60-79 in WBJEE tends to correspond to a rank somewhere in the range of 15,750 to 16,250 based on some estimations.

    Given this estimated rank range, admission to the CSE branch at JGEC, which typically closes within the top few thousand ranks for the general category, appears difficult.

    Therefore, while getting a CSE seat at JGEC with 65 marks in the general category seems difficult based on past trends, your category and performance relative to others will be the deciding factors. You should aim to score as high as possible in WBJEE 2025 and then check the official cutoff ranks released by WBJEEB after the results. Keep an eye on the counselling process and participate in all relevant rounds.

    Can a person whose JEE mains ST category rank is 42620 get JGEC (Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College) ?

    Eligibility Based on Rank

    • Your ST category rank is 42620 .

    • This rank is considered very high for getting admission into JGEC under the ST category .

    JGEC ST Category Cutoffs (Previous Years)

    • In previous years, the closing ST ranks for JGEC have usually been between 8000 to 12000 .

    • The rank varies depending on the branch (like CSE, ECE, MECH) and the round (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc).

    • Your rank is way beyond these cutoffs, making direct admission through JoSAA counselling unlikely.

    State Quota vs. Other State Quota

    • If you are from West Bengal , you may get slight advantage through Home State Quota .

    • Even then, the cutoff is rarely beyond 15000 in ST category.

    • If you are from another state, chances get even lower as Other State quota cutoffs are stricter.

    Alternative Opportunities

    • You can try for CSAB Special Rounds after JoSAA.

    • Sometimes, seats remain vacant in less popular branches and might be available in CSAB.

    • You can also explore private colleges or state-level engineering colleges where ST category reservation is applicable.

    Important Tips

    • Do not rely only on JGEC. Keep other options open.

    • Explore all rounds of JoSAA and register for CSAB .

    • Use official websites like josaa.nic.in and csab.nic.in for real-time updates.

    • Prepare documents and apply to other colleges as backup.

    • Check if your rank is valid in your home state counselling .

    Well in 1st round of counselling I got Nsec , cse branch my rank is 11K , shall I join it or wait for other rounds for higher preference like IEM , Heritage, Techno main saltlake, Kgec , Jgec , in all I gave cse/IT/ece preference????

    Hello,

    To get a clearer picture, let us consider both the cases :

    • Joining NSEC Now:

      • You have secured a seat in CSE, which is a preferred branch.
      • If you are okay with NSEC's reputation, placements, and facilities, it can be a safe option.
    • Waiting for Other Rounds:

      • You may get a chance in higher preference colleges with better reputations and placement records.
      • There is a risk involved; if you wait and don't get a better option, you might miss out on NSEC as well.

    Now based on your situation, my recommendations are :-

    • Research Thoroughly: Look at the latest placement records, campus facilities, and faculty of NSEC and compare them with your higher preference colleges.
    • Counselling Trends: Check previous years' counselling trends to gauge the likelihood of getting a seat in the next rounds at your preferred colleges.
    • Consult with Seniors/Alumni: Talk to current students or alumni of NSEC and your preferred colleges to get a real-world perspective on academics, placements, and campus life.

    Based on your research and personal preferences, make an informed decision. If you are confident about getting a seat in one of your higher preference colleges in the next rounds, it might be worth waiting. Otherwise, securing a seat in CSE at NSEC could be a prudent choice.

    Best of luck!
