2Placements1Infrastructure1Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

This is the worst college in West Bengal.

Placements: 80 percent student got placed in our college. The highest package offered is 20 LPA, the lowest package offered is 2 LPA. No special company to be mentioned, only normal companies come to our college, like Capgemini, Wipro, TCS etc. Only one role offered, that is junior engineer.

Infrastructure: The worst facility and infrastructure available in our course or dept, not only in our course, each and every dept is rubbish. No Wi-Fi, old hostel-like buildings. There is library but no books present there. Hostels are like old host home, tree grow from the roof, snakes are easily seen there. Other things like mess food, sports is good.

Faculty: There are no sufficient teacher, not helpful, always in bad mood. It does not make the student industry ready; if you want to take placement, you have to do self study. All questions are revealed before semester, so no fear of getting failed. 100 percent got passed.

Absolutely satisfied with placement, behaviour of the faculty members, and the infrastructure.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in our college in civil engineering department is 90 percent. The highest package is 12 LPA (on campus), and the lowest is 5 LPA, that's how it becomes 8.5 LPA on average. Top recruiting companies are L&T, BEL, TCS, etc. 100 percent of students get internships in their 3rd year in different companies like ECL and HPL as well as in IITs, NITs, for research internships.

Infrastructure: Our college provides us labs, proper classrooms are there with projectors, and library for self-studies and books. There are separate departmental buildings, and each of them has different labs and facilities in them. Hostels are also good. Food is almost homelike. Canteens are available every 200 meters. Medical facilities are there. More than 3 big grounds are there. Volleyball court, basketball court, cricket ground, and all games and sports equipments are also there. I think our college is in a very good locality, and has a beautiful campus, it is just there is lack of maintenance.

Faculty: In our civil engineering department, teachers are so cooperative and helpful. Each of them has teaching experience and treats us as their children. They train the students to become industry-ready. Semester examinations are also upto the mark to check out knowledge.

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.

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.
