Recruiting companies are Smith and Zoon, Sucrose, Alkane, Shree Leathers, Khadims, Ajanta, and Bata. The internships are provided by many reputed companies like Alkane, Smith and Zoon, Shree Leathers, etc.
Infrastructure: Our college is fully loaded with laboratory equipment, classes, and a big library with many types of books. The new hostel is in progress, and the current hostel is fully loaded with 50 students and equipped with Wi-Fi facilities. The new building, which is under construction is capable of more than 100 students.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and well-behaved. They are fully loaded with knowledge. Our course curriculum makes students industry-relevant. There are eight semesters in the four-year B.Tech course, with four internals, two practical exams, and a one-semester exam with the practical exam. The pass percentage is 100% in the previous year.

It has good enough placements and an enjoyable campus life. I recommend it.
Placements: About 2 LT students got placed in the IT sector, and 2 are pursuing M.Tech. The highest package offered in IT was 13.5 LPA. One student is placed in TCS Digital. Several placements at Accenture, Cognizant, etc., are taken. The average package for LT is around 2.4 LPA, and for CSE and IT, it may be around 4 LPA.
Infrastructure: The labs and classrooms are clean and have a projector facility. There are enough seats in the classes and library. College Wi-Fi is available, although buggy. It has free-to-use desktops in the library and enough books. The canteen is not available, but there are food stalls outside. A relatively new hostel in government quarters is available.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and very helpful. One of our teachers plays a key role in CSE-IT placements. Internships are readily available for all streams. Leather sector internships are available in Bantala, where most of the LT students get placed, Alchem, Smit, Zoon, etc.
Other: Resurrection Fest, Techfest, Farewell, Sports, Tree Plantation, Independence Day, and Freshers for both B.Tech and lateral entry are held in our college.

It is one of the best government institutes in Kolkata.
Placements: About 70% of students placed in our college. The highest package was 13 LPA and the lowest package was 2.4 LPA. The average package was 6.25 LPA. Top recruiting companies are upGrad, Lexmark, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Siemens Digital Industries Software, etc. About 45% to 50% of students got internships from CLRI Kolkata. The top role offered in our course is software engineer.
Infrastructure: As a government institute, GCELT offers a lot of facilities like free Wi-Fi, digital labs, digital classrooms, a library, etc. Our college hostel is very reasonable. The hostel provides plenty of food. We have a huge playground, and all the hostelers usually play there.
Faculty: Our teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. Our teachers help us to get internships from some famous companies. It is not difficult to pass the semester exams, but it is quite difficult to get good marks on semester exams. The teaching quality is standard. They conduct classes online and offline.
Other: It is a government institute, and I have to pay Rs. 24,000 to complete the whole course. We need to pay Rs. 3000 per semester. It is reasonable for us. Leather technology is our main stream, but we also have information technology and computer science engineering. Every year, great students pass out of this college.

I am satisfied because of good placements, and I got placed in VIP Industries Pvt Ltd in 2020.
Placements: Leather technology is a unique stream, and this stream capacity is 30 students, so the maximum number of students are placed in any leather company. Almost 80% of the students were placed. The highest salary offered is Rs. 30,000 per month, the lowest salary offered is Rs. 10,000 per month and the average salary offered is Rs. 15,000 per month. The top recruiting company of our college is VIP Pvt Ltd. Almost 70% of the students got an internship in TFL and Lanxess. As a leather technology engineer, we handle what chemicals required for raw material to the finishing process of leather.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed is average, but labs work is very good. Classrooms are also very good, and all books are available in the library. Government college hostel facilities are average, and the rooms are not clear. Hostel Wi-Fi is not available all time. About 3-4 students stay together in one room. In the mess, all facilities are available like Wi-Fi, food, cooking person, and there is a canteen in our hostel. Medical facilities are available here, and in sports and games tournaments, all students play together.
Faculty: Our college teachers are helpful with very good behaviour, and all teachers are qualified with a PhD degree from IIT and NIT. Even when we did not understand any study material, then they provide all-time help and suggest a good explanation. Our course curriculum needs to be more relevant. Students need a deep understanding of knowledge of industrial training, college study materials, and the college should also be able to maintain a good reputation.
Other: I have chosen this course because there is only one engineering college of this course in West Bengal, and I heard from college pass-out elder brother that all students are placed in any company. The best thing about our course is after qualifying the degree surely we will get a job in a leather company. I wish placements faculty members should coordinate with more leather companies of other states. In our college's is fests, all students are enjoying in this fest. Our college campus has a medium boundary, and our college students are not more, so campus crowd is silent. Near our campus, Jadavpur University is situated, and Dr BR Ambedkar Law College is also situated. After qualifying the degree, students who were toppers from 1st year to 4th year will get a scholarship from our college. Extracurricular activities like blood donation camp are held in our college one time in every year.

Faculty: All the teachers here are very helpful, and they treat us very well. Even all the teachers are very friendly with the students. The teaching quality is very high. They are very old, so they are very knowledgeable. In leather technology, students are made for industry-ready because teachers all the time treat very well.
Other: I have chosen leather technology because it's a unique trade in West Bengal and there many things to learn. You will also know about the leather finishing very well. All students are not attending regularly, and that's why the syllabus is not completed. There are many cultural fests. Every year, sports game and many curricular activities are conducted, and that develops all students skills very well.
