Great cultural life and hostels, but poor placement opportunities.

Placements: Around 10-20% of students every year go for higher studies like M.Teach or other courses instead of sitting for placements. Only 2 or 3 companies visit the campus regularly. CodeClouds and Geotech are consistent recruiters, and we've had people make it into Cognizant, ISRO, and some other well-known organizations as well. If you're really skilled, you need to rely on off-campus drives to land a good job. The average package for those who do get placed is around 2.5-3.5 LPA. The highest we've seen recently from our department was 7.2 LPA, which was definitely a highlight.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are clean and are currently being renovated, which will make them better soon. Labs are all air-conditioned, though not every AC or machine works properly, which is typical of a government college. Still, the setup is fairly good. Hostel life is nice, with good food, though freshers might need to follow some courses initially. Since the hostel is also under renovation, conditions are improving. Overall, the infrastructure is a mix of good facilities and old systems, balancing comfort with the limitations of an old institution

Faculty: The course structure at GCECT is well designed, though it may feel hectic for newcomers. Most students adapt within a semester or two, and many go on to score above 8.5 SGPA, with several achieving 9 or even 10. Since the college is autonomous and the faculty sets the papers, students can focus their studies according to their goals. Be it higher education or placements with smart preparation, two to three weeks of study is usually enough to score well. The only real challenge is the CLA, conducted by external examiners, which requires extra effort. Overall, academics are demanding yet manageable.

Other: Seniors are supportive, the crowd is welcoming, and students generally maintain a friendly atmosphere, even if occasional disagreements with teachers arise. They usually get resolved. On the downside, infrastructure could definitely improve, and the absence of a dedicated on-campus placement officer has hurt placement drives, especially for the CSE and IT departments. This remains the biggest drawback, as it has prevented real growth in placements over the past few years. Still, with active cultural activities and a vibrant student life, the campus offers a good experience. Though the placement gap overshadows it for technical branches.

It is a good and family-friendly college with regular college.

Placements: This course provides average placements for computer science and engineering technology, but in this college ceramic technology students get 100% placements. You can try off-campus placement or do higher studies like M.Tech. It is a nice college. Classes are regular.

Infrastructure: Facilities at the college are excellent. Infrastructure is also good, but the campus is small. Seniors are friendly. There is no ragging. The hostel is good, but the capacity is small. The food in the hostel is good, and the fees are low. Overall, I love this college.

Faculty: Our college has good faculty members. They are helpful. They give their full effort for classes. They are highly qualified. The exam system is good. Semester exams are a little difficult but not so hard. The pass percentage is 50%. Dr Partha Halder is our exam head.

Infrastructure: The buildings of this college are old and not that big to catch your eye. But the library of this college is very big.

A good place to start your journey.

Placements: The placement scenario here is different from that at other colleges. The bitter truth is that the ceramics department gets the best placement here. The average package of the Ceramic Technology department is around 8–9 lacs per annum, whereas the highest package from CSE and IT is only 6–6.5 LPA. So you can understand what the condition is. As the placement cell officer of CSE IT is inactive, students take a role in the placement cell and try hard for the improvement of placements. Recruiters like GEOTECH, Wipro, and TCS come here and take students. The total number of students in the college is only 600 so everyone gets placed here.

Infrastructure: The course is very easy for the first year and it goes up for the upcoming years. The infrastructure is good and our college has its own high-speed Wi-Fi on the college campus and in hostels. Labs are modernized and they contain high-end technological items. The canteen is not good and it remains closed throughout the year. A medical officer is also present at our college. If we come to sports, there are two grounds in our college where you can play any kind of game at any time. So don't worry about your sports journey.

Faculty: The exams are very easy to score. The batch strength for every department is around 40 and every year, 10 out of 40 students from every batch get a CGPA >= 9. The professors are very good and they hold the best knowledge in their respective fields. Prof. Kingshuk Chatterjee, Dr. Ambika Mukhopadhyay, and others are the best faculty members, as you can see from some average professors. Hehe, I won't talk about them; you will see them on your own. The semester exams are very easy and they are conducted every 4-5 months.

Other: The campus is good. I won't say that it's the best but yes, you can pretty much enjoy your life. At a time you feel that your choice about this college is bad but don't worry, there are more options that you can do with a Masters from IITs. Even I feel the same. Now let's talk about the fests. Our main cultural fest, "Jagriti," and our technical fest, "Karmatek," are organized every year and everyone enjoys these two main fests. Beside this, the Super Cup and other sports events are organized here. I don't think you need a scholarship for this college because the course costs are very low (around 1000 per month for CSE).

Infrastructure: The college has a huge campus, internet access, a large building, staff rooms, boys' and girls' common rooms, clean bathrooms, well-maintained and fully equipped classrooms, and lab rooms for the students. Things are almost perfect on the campus. The canteen provides good, hygienic, affordable food with a variety of food items available.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and friendly, always there for the students. They are qualified and knowledgeable in their respective domains and try to teach at their level best. They teach in a way that would be understandable to the students easily. They clear the doubts of the students and conduct seminars on different topics. Their teaching quality is undoubtedly good.
