If you are sure that you can apply for stream upliftment and change it to ECE or IT in Kalyani Engineering college, then you should wait for 2nd or 3rd counselling. But if you unsure, then studying a stream like mechanical, completely opposite to your choice is no good.

KGEC can give you better placement than JGEC, the only reason being it is located closer to Kolkata than JGEC. Few companies come to college and recruit students.  ME & EE department are very strict and demanded a lot of discipline. Being government colleges as usual, you have to give your own efforts. There is a huge communication gap between the faculty and the students. Also KGEC comes just after JU in WBJEE couselling.

If you are not getting your desired stream in KGEC(because closing ranks are lesser in KGEC than JGEC), then you should study in JGEC with your preferred stream. If you are getting your preferred stream in both the colleges, KGEC is definitely better because of better quality of students and proximity to Kolkata.

There are also some other factors to mention. The location is really preferable for KGEC, as you can get easiness from transport to all other regular needs. Jalpaiguri has a pleasant weather; but where as Kalyani has a warm weather.The campus area of JGEC is 167 acres whereas KGEC only comprises of 75 acres area only. The food quality of JGEC hostel mess is far better than any other state government hostel mess undoubtedly.Medical facilities, electricity, water usage, wifi and LAN(8–12mbps speed), all are totally free in JGEC. KGEC and JGEC has almost similar infrastructure, but popularity of KGEC is much more than JGEC as because it is situated near Kolkata. Mentioning about clubs and fest, Sristi is the largest technical fest in North Bengal; Also the cultural fest JECLAT promises every year with great bands, big singers to modern singers, big national and regional bands and fashion shows, which are all in much greater scale than any other state college fests.Placements are undoubtedly better in KGEC; JGEC has downgraded in terms of placement.


Hey Somrik

First of all- congratuations on getting such a good rank.

With your rank in WBJEE you probably will not get a seat in Jadavpur University as it is the  first choice for any engineering aspirant in west bengal. The last cutoff rank is even under 1000. However you can get courses like ECE and EE etc at Kalyani University! All the best!

hello aspirant

as this engineering college is a government college there is a seat for obc students and first of all you have to attend the entrance test called WB JEE and students should score more than 60 percentile and also the college provides scholarships for the merit students and this KGEC provides reservation, 7% seats are researved for OBC A & B students so as OBC B have reservation by scoring good percentile they can definitely get a seat

thank you

The cutoffs change every year as this is based on various factors. But Going by previous few years' data, computer Science and Engineering branch in Kalyani government engineering college gets filled within 1500 rank after round 3 of counselling. And the mechanical branch gets filled within 3500 rank, this is the branch with highest closing rank. With 5100 rank, you can expect all branches expect CSE in Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College. Or else, there are many top private engineering colleges like IEM, Techno India Salt lake, Heritage Institute of Technology with this rank. You can expect Mechanical, Electrical and Electrical and Electronics branch in IEM. As per your rank, you can get CSE in Techno India Salt lake as last year the closing rank was 5142. In government colleges, you can get CSE in Government College of Engineering and Ceramic Technology. Placement wise this college is good for CSE. Mass recruiters like TCS, infosys etc. With this rank, top branches of almost all private engineering colleges are achievable.

Hello Aspirant,

West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board release the cut-off for WBJEE every year after the declaration of results. It is not easy to predict the cut-off for any exam because cut-off depends upon various factors like

  • Number of candidates appeared in exam.
  • Availability of seats
  • Difficulty level of paper
  • And many more

Hence cut-off are bound to change every year by taking consideration of above factors.

However you can get a rough idea from previous years cut-offs for WBJEE, link for the same is given below -
