Placement and faculty members are the best in this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is well planned. All types of facilities are provided by the college. Classrooms are fully furnished and have a smart board. The library has many types of books, novels, journals, etc. Students can borrow these items from the library for study.

Faculty: Best faculty members are present in our college. Their guidance to the students as academic help is top-notch. All important topics are taught in class. Their teaching skills are easily understandable. The student-to-teacher ratio is acceptable. Exam question toughness is moderate, most of the students passed the exam.

I'm satisfied with my stay during 2017-2021.

Placements: During 2021, we got placed well. All 3 sections of GNIT had people who finished without backlogs or with 1 or 2 backlogs. Almost everyone got placed. Students were placed at Cognizant and Wipro. 5 people were placed at Infosys, Mindtree, and Accenture. GNIT was better compared to GNITC Autonomous. Wipro almost took 300 people from the drive.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and the library were average. There was no projector in every class. Labs were 2 out of 5, but they were getting improved. There used to be a good ground, but they built a new building, so the ground became very bad. They even removed the basketball court. We had 3 canteens with good biryani, etc. Hostel canteen food was not good. I think they had North Indian chefs.

Faculty: Faculty-wise, it was very good. They were strict in that they held students responsible for classwork. They made students industry-ready. Those who were willing got good exposure. Exams were conducted regularly. They were strict. Even in mid-term exams, they did not give any chance to be lenient. They were very strict.

Other: Campus life was good, but we were advised not to go too far with friends. Events were not good. Before, they were good, but then they became average. Only freshers got scholarships. There were not many. Mostly, it was about studies.

Go for Food Technology in this department, but try to focus on your studies.

Placements: ITC, Canine Craving, and DBPL are the major recruiters. The percentage of students placed is 70%. The highest package is 4.6 LPA by ITC. The lowest is 1.8 LPA by DBPL. ITC and TCS are the top recruiting companies. Almost 100% of students get internships. The top roles offered are QA/QC roles.

Infrastructure: Hostel is not available. Labs are well-structured. Classrooms are quite good. Wi-Fi is not very strong. A library is available with major books, and if required, they provide them. Sports are held a lot. Classrooms are well-equipped. The majority of classrooms have AC.

Faculty: Most teachers are Ph.D. holders. This course does make students industry-ready. It mostly depends on the students. Semesters are quite tough due to MAKAUT's strict rules. Most students are industry-ready. In the 7th semester, they do internships. This helps them become industry-ready.

Other: Food Technology has scope for further growth, as food will always be in demand. The best thing about the course is that it is quite easier than courses that are mostly Physics- and Maths-based, like CSE, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.

IEM College Kolkata review.

Placements: The placement percentage is good here but it is deteriorating year by year, which needs to be checked by the placement team of the college. Here, top recruiters like Wipro, TCS, Accenture, etc., come every year with nice placement offers but the numbers are decreasing, which should be checked.

Infrastructure: I have opted for a hostel here but it has given me negative feedback and therefore I will not suggest their hostel due to its strictness and fewer facilities. In case of infrastructure, the building is not air-conditioned, which makes it less preferable otherwise it has no issues.

Faculty: Faculty are great with some exceptions. They also provide faculty feedback for each teacher every year to judge them according to students. The college has a very hectic schedule that can be an issue otherwise other things around the faculty and all are good as compared to other options in this budget.

Overall truth about GCECT.

Placements: Very few companies come to our college for the placements of the IT and CSE batch, but the CT department got 100 percent placement. IT and CSE students got placements mostly from off-campus. The highest package is 15 LPA. The minimum is 3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. This college has playgrounds and a big auditorium which can accommodate around 200-250 people. Classrooms consist of good benches and projectors, including 5-10 AC classrooms. The lab is also well maintained and Wi-Fi is available.

Faculty: Faculty is really good and helpful. Each subject has 2-3 faculty members. They divide the chapters for teaching and this college is autonomous and the papers are checked by the college teachers only. The difficulty of the exam is at a medium level whereas a few of the subjects are really hard, and the teachers are really strict.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the faculty members and placement.

Placements: Only 30 percent of students were placed. And all the placements were in marketing only 1 or 2 percent got the chance in finance. At the time of admission they said that Big 4 came to their college, but they didn't come. For placement, only 10 percent of students got placement from the college.

Infrastructure: The amount was so high, but the facilities were very low. The canteen food was very poor. You can't eat that on a daily basis. The private PG was a much better option than this. It's also not so close to the college. I will never recommend the college hostel.

Faculty: Faculty members were not good they did favouritism. Some teachers were also not good in their core subject. They just provided the printed notes. They couldn't help you prepare for the placement or interview. The mentor was also not good enough.
