Honest review provided by a final year student.

Placements: About 45-50% students secured placement offers. The highest package offered was 8.1 LPA and the lowest was like 2.4 LPA. Top recruiters are Deloitte, Cognizant, HclTech etc. Not many students secured internship but many secured a permanent job offer. Top roles offered includes Software developed, Analyst, System engineer etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available but speed is not up to mark. Classrooms and labs are maintained. Library has average collection of books. Hostel facility is not available. Food available in the canteen is average. Medical facilities are pretty avarage. There is no playground in college. Overall, sports infrastructure is poor. Infrastructure and facilities provided by the college are average and not up to mark.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable but they are not helpful at all. Only few teachers are good. Teaching quality is below average. The course is curriculum relevant and it makes us industry ready. The semester exams are pretty much easy to clear as the college is autonomous now. 40 percent were the passing marks previously when it was under Makaut.

Other: I chose this course because it is one of the most demanding fields currently. It can provide knowledge about software. There are many places of improvements like faculty, infrastructure, facilities, etc. The college organizes cultural events and technical events. Regalia is the annual fest. Campus is not so much attractive and well maintained. I don't like it overall. College gives Svmcm scholarship to students. Extracurricular activities are not so much discussed in the college.

3.0Placements5.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Experience with dramatics faculty at MAKAUT with average placement in 2021.

Placements: Almost 50–60% of students got placed in core jobs in positions like Site Engineer, Foundation Engineer, Design Engineer, Material Inspector, BIM Engineer, Transport Engineer, and others moved into PSU and state exams. In my placement session, the highest package was 13 LPA. It was offered by a construction company. The average was 4–5 LPA. The lowest salary was 2 LPA from a local builder. Top recruiting companies were Karmata Engineering, Tata Projects, Bentley Systems, Arpana Construction, Infosys, and Wipro. In this branch, internship chances were very low since there was no industry exposure available; that was the only negative in this university.

Infrastructure: I would say it was the best campus I had ever visited. There was a sports complex, cafeteria, gym, seminar hall, digital library with enough journals and research papers. Also, auditorium, and all classrooms were advanced with the availability of projectors and high-speed Wi-Fi connections. In hostels, there was a water purifier on each floor. CCTV surveillance over the building. Wi-Fi connectivity, a dining hall with an LCD TV, and indoor sports facilities as well. There were 3 options for room charges (1 bed – Rs. 60,000, 2 beds – Rs. 45,000, 3 beds – Rs. 30,000). The mess fee was the same for all, i.e., Rs. 38,000 per year. The food quality was much better than hotels.

Faculty: One thing that might dissatisfy other state students was faculty members. Students had to deal with faculty with care since internal marks were given by them. Apart from that, teachers also helped to conduct industrial visits, guest lectures, and were also helpful in practical classes. The pass percentage was 70% since exams were conducted strictly. The question paper was set quite tough to make students ready for PSUs. Essential topics like structure of concrete, materials, highway, and transportation were taught in both theory and labs to build basic concepts. Advanced subjects like CAD, hydraulic lab, strength management, and geotechnical labs were also included.

Other: This university accepted students through WBJEE and JEE exams. They also provided Swami Vivekananda merit-based scholarships of amount Rs. 60,000 and other NSP and government-funded scholarships. Fee exemptions were provided to economically weaker students, which was around 30% of the actual tuition fees. This institute had to focus on bringing more core job opportunities into campus with higher packages and also bring internship offers for better experience. Events and fests were conducted frequently within the campus. Annual sports was conducted by the university in which students from other colleges came to the campus and took part in the engineering cup. This university charged Rs. 60,000 for tuition fees.

Techno Main Salt Lake: An average tier-3 private college in Kolkata.

Placements: In ECE about 70 percent of students got placed through campus placement. There are mainly IT-based companies coming to this college. The average package you can expect is 7 LPA. If you are targeting core ECE companies, you may suffer. If you are looking for an internship you have to struggle on your own.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are average, they don't have an air-conditioner. They teach on a whiteboard (marker one). This college doesn't have its own hostel you have to live in a PG or rented apartment. The college building is still under construction. This college has only one building and nothing more than that.

Faculty: Faculty are good at their work but they mostly talk in their regional language. The curriculum is average according to today's market demand. Semesters are pretty tough. About 40 percent of students got back in each semester. If you think you will study a night before the exam and get marks then you are in delusion.

Other: Events are bad. This college doesn't have a campus at all, they are taking 7 lakhs and providing only 1 acre of the total college area. In which there are 2 colleges one is Techno Main Salt Lake and another is Techno India University.
