Techno India University

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.
