Absolutely satisfied,low fees, excellent return of investment,in the city centre
Placements: I can say around 90 percent students got placed in this branch.CTC is average. As per last year it's average is 3.5 Lpa ,and higher package is 9.5 lpa Usually food companies like COCA COLA,ITC,PEPSICO,MONDLEEZ and BENGAL BEVERAGE visit and provide an average package I didn't find any student doing any sort of internship in this dept. Usually our fellows opt for higher studies rather like MTECH and PHD
Infrastructure: Even though it's a state govt college with barely a fee of 10,000 ,you would find great labs, library and equipments ,campus is green and buildings are maintained,not like those of private but yes ,it's well But hostels are not par, they cost barely 25 rs and are usually reserved for students from ews group..so if u are from a well to do family,u can opt several pg's nearby
Faculty: Teachers are as par with iit professers,great knowledge and friendly,this course is not as relevant as other core branches,but it is still better in today's date ..u don't have strict attendance policy and u can utilise the time for your own skills .. semester exams are kinda difficult and usually students pass
Other: I got a rank of 2100 in WBJEE,and instead of opting for good branches in other private colleges ,i tried India's best known universe JU ..there are fests,popular celebs and creates come and there are great sports facilities
