JGEC is good for campus life and to get a good placement in your hands.

Placements: Here, most placements are in non-core departments and placement is between 5 LPA and 9 LPA. The highest package is 18 LPA here. 95% of students got placed in any reputed company, and others chose a path for higher education like M.Tech, UPSC, and many others. There are many clubs for coding and studying other things.

Infrastructure: There are four hostels on our campus for each year, and one ladies' hostel. The hostel food is more delicious, and the hostel infrastructure is very beautiful. In our hostel, the roof of Kanchenjunga is clearly visible, and beside the hostel, a tea garden is present, so nature is beautiful.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and well qualified, often with good experience, and many students find them helpful and approachable. Doubts cleared, and an idea was given for our students, such as placements and projects from our teachers. JGEC is an autonomous college so there is an opportunity to get a good CGPA.

Other: Mind it, JGEC is an autonomous college.

Faculty is decent, placement is better than most government colleges, and the college area is big.

Placements: Decent placement with core branches, getting nearly 100% placement. Non-core branches may get slightly less placement, but the package is good. Electrical usually gets 100% placement. The placement cell is good and takes aptitude tests very often. The alumni also refer students.

Infrastructure: Hostel and infrastructure may have slightly improved from previous years. Even though it's not the best, it's still good. Previously, it was quite degraded, and students made it worse. But now it's for the better, though it still needs improvements. Labs are a bit questionable.

Faculty: Faculty is good. Core branches have a very tight but flexible schedule. Non-core faculty are more friendly. Though all teachers help students in different things, such as syllabus, scholarship, and all. The attendance criteria are strict. Many cocarriculam activities are done in the clubs.

Other: As the college campus is big, there are fewer students compared to other colleges. It doesn't feel very overcrowded. Although classrooms could've been slightly bigger. Seniors are good and helpful. Ragging is not really an issue.

Our college(JGEC) is really good.

Placements: Jalpaiguri government engineering college placement is really good, as 90% were placed. Basically, the electrical engineering branch offers more placement and a good package offered by LNT, ADANI, etc. Perhaps another branch, such as civil, mechanical, CSE, or ECE, is a good placement. 70 % students got an internship opportunity offered by NTPC, BHEL, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college hostel is good for students. Here are many facilities and infrastructure available, such as Wi-Fi, labs, a classroom, and a library. Our college's food is basically mediocre. Different types of foods are available. In the weak, chicken, egg, fish, and other types are made by our hostel.

Faculty: Our college, JGEC, is more famous in North Bengal. Here, the teacher quality is better and the knowledge is. Basically, all teachers are Ph.D. holders from many different IITs. In our college, our semester exam is basically hard. In the exam, the pass mark is 40 out of 100. Our college is the best.

Other: My branch is electrical engineering. It is chosen because I am interested in circuit design, and I basically chose a government job. My college campus crowd is beautiful.
