My honest review of JGEC IT Department.
Placements: In the information technology branch, 95% of students are placed in renowned companies. Top recruiting companies include Infosys, JUSPAY, Cognizant, and TCS. The top roles offered are software engineer, SDE1, SDE2, and graduate engineer trainee. The highest package is 60 LPA (off-campus), the lowest package is 4 LPA, and the average package ranges from 7 to 8 LPA. About 30 to 40% of students get opportunities for internships.
Infrastructure: Our college, established in 1960, has older infrastructure, especially the administrative building. However, the campus is very large—the second-largest in West Bengal. It offers B.Tech courses in six different fields: CSE, IT, ME, CE, EE, and ECE, and two M.Tech courses in CE and ME. Various sports facilities, like cricket and football, are available.
Faculty: All the teachers here are highly qualified and helpful. They provide guidance on various topics. This college offers only engineering degrees (B.Tech.. and M.Tech..), preparing students for industry work. Affiliated under MAKUT, it's also an autonomous college, conducting exams independently.
Other: I chose IT because it's a highly demanding course. The college organizes annual festivals like JECLET and a teachinging festivalival called SHRISTI. Located in Jalpaiguri, the environment is beautiful, with a spacious campus offering various sports facilities. There are scholarship opportunities like SVMCM, OASIS (government scholarships), and alumni scholarships.
