    Satisfied with the faculty (not all). The infrastructure is excellent and placements are quite good.
    Placements: As far as MCA is concerned, students do get placed but the packages are not as high as B.Tech ones. This year, except 4-5 students, everyone else got placed. Some received 3 offers too. The highest package offered so far is 14 LPA. All our super seniors got placed well. Summer internship offers are provided to the students.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are large enough with projectors. Some classrooms do have A/Cs as well. Labs are well-equipped and maintained. More than 7 labs are available for computer science department only. Servers are also there where we are allowed to do our work and save it. Attendance is recorded regularly and are monitored. More than 8 canteens are present on the campus, and the food is provided at low prices. Hostels are good as I have heard from my friends. Till now, I haven't faced any infrastructure related issue.
    Faculty: Teachers are good. Their way of teaching is not like in other colleges. They give assignments in which we have to work hard. Industry exposure is not provided. Internships are allowed. This year, 5 of my friends got summer internship offers. The course curriculum is good, but I do think the distribution of subjects in semesters is better in Heritage Institute.
    Other: Jadavpur campus is quite huge. It also has a portion in Salt Lake. Sanskriti is one of the biggest events of Jadavpur which is held in around March. Sports do take place annually. Students do get scholarships.

    Jadavpur University MCA FAQs

    Q:   How many months are required to prepare for WB JECA exam?
    A: 

    The time-period required to complete the WB JECA preparation depend mainly on students. Every student has their own pace of study. Ideally, 3-4 month is good enough for completing the WB JECA preparation. Students who have started preparing during their BCA can easily prepare for WB JECA in 4 months considering the topics of exam syllabus have already been studied in BCA.

    WB JECA preparation is most effective with BCA as almost 90-95 percent topics are similar in both exams. This way students can easily complete the entire WB JECA syllabus as well as syllabus of BCA. After the graduation exams, students get 2-3 month where they can focus entirely on WB JECA.

    Students who have started late for the WB JECA exam can make a 6-month plan where in the first three months they have to focus on revising the syllabus studied in BCA. In the next two months’ focus on solving questions of WB JECA and analyzing the mistakes being made, if any. The last one month should be focused on solving mock tests and WB JECA previous year question papers.
