JGEC - Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College Answered Questions

Factors to choose Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College:
1. Low fee structure
2. Good faculty
3. Autonomous college
4. Good placements
5. Good scenery
6. Exposure to various cultural and technical events
Factors for not choosing JGEC: Far away from Kolkata.
Presently, courses are rank as:
1. Computer science and engineering
2. Mechanical engineering
3. Electrical engineering
4. IT, ECE and civil engineering.

I don't know about how good is Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering but it's the fact that Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College doesn't provide B.Tech in EEE (electrical and electronic engineering). I found out that EEE is present in Dayananda Sagar. JGEC provides B.Tech in ECE (electronics and communication engineering) and EE (electrical engineering).

Comparison between Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC) and Techno India:
1. JGEC is a government institute whereas Techno India is private. This means the total expenditure in JGEC (including college and mess fees for 4 years) is about 1.8-2.5 Lacs for non core department and less than 1.5 Lacs for core departments. But in Techno India, it is around 4 Lacs- only the college fees for four years.
2. JGEC is one of the best government institutes in West Bengal.
3. JGEC has scenic beauty but is away from Kolkata. Techno India is in Kolkata.
4. Placements are more or less the same in state engineering colleges. JGEC has about 60-70% placements and Techno India has about 50% placements.
5. Apart from TFW (tuition fee waiver), there are other scholarships in JGEC.
6. JGEC has its own hostels (4 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel) and they provide nearly 100% accommodation. Whereas techno India doesn't have hostels but they manage accommodation in nearby PGs. Hostel fee in JGEC is reasonable.

As per my experience, I've seen the CSE department of JGEC is very strong. They take classes regularly and the teachers are good enough. In fact, I've seen them helping students a lot with their academics as well as career.
I've heard little of CSE department of KGEC.
If you consider the distance of college from Kolkata (main city), then choose KGEC over JGEC.
But if you solely want the best in CSE, then I think you should choose JGEC.

So I think JGEC is better between the two.

It provide post-graduate courses in the following two disciplines:
M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Production Technology and Management)
M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Power Electronics and Drives)
Admission in M.Tech is taken through GATE ranking.

To get admission in government colleges Domicile certificate is must! I don't know much about the private colleges. During last year's counseling they checked domicile certificate of each and every student. Do you have any of your parents working in West Bengal? If yes, then you can GET a domicile certificate. You can check once the site and make sure which proforma is valid for you. I know few students of Bihar studying in JGEC.
