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.
