Although JGEC is a good college.
Placements: 86% placement in 2025. Here, all the core engineering departments are so good. But first time at JGEC, a student of the Information Technology department, 4th year named Suman Bera got approximately 1 crore package from LinkedIn, and before that, he was an intern at LinkedIn.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is old, as it is a government engineering college established in 1961. But there are a total of 5 hostels, of which 1 is a ladies' hostel and another 4 are boys hostel. Also, the quality of all rooms, including the bathroom and basin, is good.
Faculty: All faculty members are so good, also friendly, and very helpful. They are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. The B.Tech course is for 4 years, while the M.Tech course is for 2 years. All semester exams are easy and PYQ-based. Good questions we get in exams.

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.

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.

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.
