      College Infrastructure

      Infrastructure of this college is good but buildings are old as this is the 2nd oldest college of our country. Hostels facilities are good total 17 hostels are present here. Quality of food in hostel are good

      Academics

      Being the 2nd oldest college of our country and an INI ( Institute of National Importance) alumni base of this college is great. Total 10 department including architecture are present for undergraduate level.

      Placements

      Placement is something that everyone are looking for. Having a great alumni network placements are one of the great things that you will find in this college. Students get placed in every sector like software, IT, banking, core, consultancy etc

      Value for Money

      As an INI this college have similar fee structure like other NITs. 68000 per semester excluding hostel fees. Hostels fees are 54000 per year but it can vary. If your family income is below 1lakhs rupees per year you will get full waiver, and if your family income is between 1lakh to 5lakh you will get two-third fee waiver. You can also get scholarship from GAABESU.

      Campus Life

      Campus Life is something students are looking for. For campus Life I would say the location of this college is great. It is located just beside the ganga river, you can go there and spend some time in the afternoon. Various clubs events and fest are going on frequently, departmental fests are also there. Musical fest like Oikotan and culture fest like REBECA happen each year. Kolkata is just beside you can go there each day if you want and enjoy city life.

      Others

      Overall this college is great. If you get an admission here you won't regret. Sports facilities, fest, campus Life, academics, placement everything are great. If you are much interested in sports and get a spot in the college team you will be selected to play Inter NIT sports events. Otherwise various sporting events are going on inside the campus itself. At the end you will cherish every part of your college life being an alumni of this college. The great Bengal Engineering college.

      Amazing college

      College Infrastructure

      The 2nd most oldest college in india ,here you not only enjoy college life but get to relive the British era. With 2 large playgrounds a swimming pool various hostels to choose from library with almost all books and medical facilities this university isa city within itself.

      Academics

      It focuses on not only the engineering aspects bit makes you ready for every other challenge as well. The mentors are equally supportive and in times of any help reaching them out without any hesitation is what is the most impressive thing.

      Placements

      Placements have always been good. Almost 85 percent students get placed every year and the highest package being 40lpa(computer science and technology) and average being 7-8 lpa(all departments) and the companies reaching out are prestigious.

      Value for Money

      For a general student this might turn out to be a bit expensive ( 71000 per sem)but is theamount every college takes and for students with categories it is the best. But there will be no extra charges as in donations for the general ones.

      Campus Life

      Since it is the second most oldest college in india it is is all about greenery and space. The only institute to have lakes within the campus a graveyard and Ganges . It is close to every possible locations in kolkata

      Great Learning at the 2nd oldest engineering college

      College Infrastructure

      The college has all necessary infrastructure and the rest are under construction or maintenance or upgradation and will be effective very soon. It has one of the biggest Library comprising of around 1.5 lakh books, journals, magazines and research papers in hardcopy and soft copy as well. All the sport and gymnasium is well maintained and the girls hostel constructed recently are great but the boys one need some renovations even a 10 storey boys hostel is under construction as well.

      Academics

      Ok with this topic but the fields for work and delve deep is vast and have specialised experts to guide as well.Teaching varies from professors to professors hence ranges from very poor to excellent ones, the best in the industry and hence overall average rating.

      Placements

      Decent placement but then also not upto the marks since the average package is much below many colleges of same standard and the percentage is low as students go for higher studies may be due to low packages or even not placed or have some keen interest in any topic to have future prospects.

      Value for Money

      Prices too high not at all budget friendly for the general middle class , it seems as if we are running the others and bearing their loads in addition to ours financially.

      Campus Life

      Great campus life in the bank of river ganges and connected to Calcutta, the City of Joy. Greenery all round with heritage buildings and rich bengali culture squares up the vintage feel for a bengali.

      Just don't go after NIRF ranking it is a total scam, evaluate it personally on all the details provided in the NIRF pdf to have a good idea of the real scenario.

      College Infrastructure

      The college is old, so the hostels and classroom is not in its best shape and not very well maintained too. The lab machinery is old but atleast the lab is well maintained. The campus is well maintained and has a lot of greenery which promote good environment for education.

      Academics

      I study Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The curriculum is outdated but the professors are good teachers. They help us grasp the basics and if we are serious with academics, it is more than sufficient to be job ready in our department.

      Placements

      The placements can be better if we see numbers but there is a high influx of core companies here and you true worth as an engineer in a core department can be tested with experience in this core companies CS placements are also amazing with high packages

      Outstanding

      College Infrastructure

      The Infrastructure college is my good. Though we do not have sufficient amount of hostels. yet the accommodation is good. The class buildings and classrooms are well maintained. So over all infrastructure is very good

      Academics

      Our college is the second most old college in India and has a rich heritage in terms of academics. But some times some teachers get hasty in finishing the syllabus rater "teaching" us. But I think that happens in every college I assume. Very few subjects follow stone age syllabus. All the departments are up to dated.

      Placements

      Being an NIT and a institute of National Importance various famous companies visits our campus for placement. We have good record of on campus/off campus placement record. The students get placed in Google/Microsoft like places. So overall placement is good.

      College Infrastructure

      The college has well built infrastructure, beautiful area visuals and necessary facilities. The classroom usually has normal blackboards, white boards with projector screen facilities. All are well maintained and regularly checked. It has awesome laboratory facilities with world class equipment; some extraordinary machines, The library has lots of books with digital library support. Sports centers. Hostel has facility like wifi, canteen, but all of them are not well maintained.

      Academics

      I'm a studying metallurgy and materials engineering . The quality of teaching is good as we have some world renowned professors. Yes, curriculum is regularly updated and it includes all recent research topics. Yes it can be said that it makes us job-ready but we definitely have to work ourselves.

      Placements

      The placements are quite good here. Many major companies like, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, ZS etc., comes here. Almost 70-80% of all students on an average was placed. The highest salary i think is 50 lakhs for a CSE student but I'm not confirmed it can be further higher The average salary offered is 6-7lpa. The placement process is through superset platform. Its average and we need to be alert anyways for the offers. yes, to an extent college was supportive.

      Value for Money

      The actual course fees is about 63000/sem. But there are several criteria to this and many fee wavers schemes are there which can give full or partial waiver. yes the college is worth of the money paid as you get good infrastructure, professor support and placement opportunity.

      Campus Life

      The college campus is very beautiful. It has several lakes, full of greenery, sitting areas, parks, swimming pools. The worst thing is after 7pm no food shop was opened but since a year there are shops which opens till midnight inside the Campus. The students can engage in drama, dance, singing, and many more club activities.

The laboratories are well maintained, you'll get site visita under the guidance of best professors. Hostel food is good, not like other colleges. You'll get to try different types of food from West Bengal and also from pan India. Cleanliness is well maintained in the whole campus.

      Academics

      Placements

      Placements are decent. With CST and IT students getting the highest number of placements with good packages. Number pf multinational companies come for placement to this college. Overall placement is decent. Average salary offered is around 4-5 LPA.

      Value for Money

      Its quite expensive to study in a College of National Importance, because of the Tuition fee. Students have to pay around 64,000 per semester as the tuition fee. Hostel, mess charges are not included in this. But of you have less family income or belong to reserved categories then there is some relaxation.

      Campus Life

      Campus life in this college is awesome. You will love it. The lakes in campus, the iconic clocktower inside the campus, the trees and the historic buildings helps in building great memories for the students.The view of iconic Howrah Bridge looks great.Ganga river ghats near the college is a great place to chill and spend time with friends. The Botanical Garden next to the campus provides fresh air to the surroundings also keeps the environment cool helping in tackling the heat of Kolkata.

      Others

      It does not depend on where, which college you join. Just live those moment completely, enjoy your college life along with studies. You'll get to know several new things. Explore new places. If you join I.I.E.S.T.S you'll get a chance to explore the city of Kolkata which has a rich culture also you'll get to study under the guidance of some best professors.
