About JGEC (campus, hostel, placements).

Placements: Placements for non-core branches at JGEC are quite good. Top companies like TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, etc., visit every year. Students with good communication skills easily get placed with 6 LPA - 8 LPA packages. Few even crack higher offers through off-campus drives. The TNP cell and seniors are very supportive, even the non-core students have ample opportunities.

Infrastructure: Hostel life is lively. Well-ventilated and spacious rooms are present. The hostels are surrounded by greenery, which gives a calm vibe. It provides 24-hour water and electricity in the hostels. Mess food is average but hygienic. There is a canteen nearby that offers snacks, tea, etc. The library provides thousands of books.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. Professors explain concepts clearly and even guide students for GATE research and placements. Labs and assignments help develop hands-on skills (especially in technical subjects). Academics feel balanced and manageable.

Hostel condition are moderate but government recently funded for renovation in our hostel and the renovation work is running. Our hostel food quality is average. Jalpaiguri Superspeciality Hospital is 5 minute distant from our hostel, so the medical facilities are good enough.

Faculty: The teachers are very much talented in their respective domain, and they are very much helpful. The teaching quality of all the teachers is very good.

Jgec | good placement | value of money | friendly faculty | huge campus life.

Placements: Almost 90% of students got placed this year. The highest package got from CSE 60 LPA. And avg package in Non-core (CSE, IT, ECE) is around 8-9 LPA company (Atlassian, Knorex, Microsoft, Byju's etc.). And on-campus core placement is awesome this year. L&T, Coca-Cola, Voltas etc. Company came to our college. In the view of placement both core and non-core are decent.

Infrastructure: As it is a totally government-funded college, hostel infrastructure is average. You expect it with IIT, NITs. But it is surely manageable. The total cost of hostel and food is 30k (yearly). And course fees vary with depth. I am from IT depth. It is most costly in JGEC like all government colleges (24k yearly). CSE & ECE (12K) core (6K).

Faculty: Teachers are very cooperative and friendly in manner. They are really so helpful. As a government college's proof, they are not like that. Yes, the curriculum is not tough, but if you study regularly what proof gives us in lecture. It's enough to score good semester. For your kind information, our college is autonomous.

Other: Campus is so big. It's Bengal's 2nd largest campus after IIT KGP. And seniors are so helpful. They treat us as their brothers and sisters. There is no ragging issue, which is one of the most popular questions. Connectivity is also good; the college is on NH37 and near railway stations JPE, JPG, NJP, etc. And as it is in Bengal, if you are eligible for SVMCM, then you can get a 60k yearly scholarship. For extracurricular activities, here you have lots of clubs for sports, dancing, singing, art, coding, almost all types.

My honest opinion is this college is not so good, it's average.

Placements: Approximately 60 to 70 percent in the IT department. Top recruiting companies are Infosys, TCS, Adani, etc. The highest package of our college is 67 LPA, the lowest is 3.6 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA. Approximately all students get internships from my course, that is information technology.

Infrastructure: In our hostel, free Wi-Fi is available, and in college labs, classrooms, and library, there are also sufficient facilities available. Hostel food quality is not so good, and the canteen is also not good; the price of food in the canteen is high. Sports and games are available in the hostel; the playground is so big.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are highly qualified, and the teaching quality is also good. Yes, this course curriculum is relevant; it makes the student industry-ready. In our college, semester exams are very tough, and the percentage of passes is approximately 90 percent.

Other: I love coding and development, that's why I chose this course. I would like to say that we get a scholarship, that is SVMCM, and the amount is 60000. Our grand fest is JECLAT, and tech fest is SRISTI.

One of the best engineering colleges in West Bengal.

Placements: From the 7th semester on, students become eligible for campus placement. Companies like TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, etc. are recruiting. Also, 50–60 percent got placed in many companies by campus interviews. Until now, the highest package of 45 LPA has been offered to a student at our college, with an average of 5–6 LPA offered. Almost 70–80% of students can get an internship. Mainly, IT personnel get placed easily.

Infrastructure: I have chosen this course because it gives us more benefit in terms of getting jobs in product-based companies like Google, Amazon, etc. Also, I have what I consider to be the best code in India. So I choose IT. All of the faculty is well educated; most of them have completed Ph.D.s and have Masters in their domain. Hostels are very old and located 2 km from the college area. The campus area is not used properly. Most of the area is covered with bush. Hostel meals are not good. Food quality is poor.

Faculty: The faculty in our college are, in fact, good and highly educated. They are friendly with the students, which also increases the student-faculty relationship, which is highly required for proper understanding by the students. Project work and the most important laboratory experiments will be very helpful for the students to understand their areas.

Other: Since it's a government college, the fees are low. If anyone can't afford that feeling, he or she can definitely apply for a scholarship, and scholarships are absolutely worth it to afford semester fees.

One of the best engineering colleges in West Bengal, with above-average placement, a huge campus.

Placements: More than 95% of students are placed from my department. 2023 pass out seniors got an average package of 15 LPA from our branch, in this year 2024 pass out senior got the highest package (60 LPA) from CSE department Atlassian (off campus) and from IT department it is the 2nd highest (54 LPA) in Microsoft (off campus).

Infrastructure: The classroom is not too good and not too bad; we have a good Wi-Fi connection in boys' hostels. Ladies' hostel doesn't have Wi-Fi connection. Food quality is good, mainly Bengali food is available. Veg thali is also available here. Due to our college being in the North, the weather is very good.

Faculty: We have the best professors and good department faculty. They are so helpful. Teaching quality is too good. Due to being an Autonomous college, our college conducts its own semester, and yes, the students are industry-ready. What college teaches us, exam questions are from their syllabus; don't worry that our college belongs to MAKAUT University.
