Offered by Techno Main Salt Lake

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.

It offers a good learning experience with decent placements.
Placements: I think 80 to 90% students are placed in our college. The highest package is 10 LPA, the average is 8 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Grand Oberoi, Taj, Lalit, the Western ITC Royal Bengal, JW Marriott recruit. 82-90 percent of students got internships from my course with Taj, the Western Lalit. Mostly they offer us the front office department, the kitchen department, the beverages department and housekeeping also.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of my college are very good, and the Wi-Fi facilities, labs, classrooms and library section are also good. My hostel facilities are also good. Washrooms are cleaned every week. The food is of very good quality in the mess and canteens. Medical facilities, sports and games are played on a monthly basis.
Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good. They help us, and sometimes they guide us. They are very humble and very respectful. The course curriculum is relevant, it makes the student university-ready. Not more difficult, the semester exam in our college is average. The passing percentage of my college in my class is 95 to 98 percent. The faculty members are also good.
Other: I chose the college because the infrastructure and the facilities are very good. The course is very beneficial to us, and it provides us with high placement value in the high-end hotels. My course is better, and I don't think there is a need to improve my course. The event is, I think, on a 3-month or 4-month basis. Campus road is also well-connected, and the campus surroundings and scholarships are also good.

Moderate college, satisfied with some faculty members.
Placements: I belong to the electronics and communication engineering batch and I am part of the recent passing-out batch (2026). Placement performance in our college has been fluctuating over the years. In 2022 placement was 191 percent means multiple offers for students. The following years saw a decline due to market conditions. In 2026, placements are currently ongoing and showing moderate improvement. TCS has already offered more than 200 students while Cognizant has hired 50+ students. Several startups have also participated in the recruitment process.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the ECE department is average. Classrooms are decent but during summer especially in E-block the conditions are very comfortable. There is no free Wi-Fi facility available on campus. Labs are available for core subjects like communication, electronics, and microprocessor but some equipment is outdated.
Faculty: Faculty members are a mix of experienced and average teachers. Overall teaching quality is moderate. The course curriculum, being under MAKAUT is somewhat outdated and does not fully align with the current industry. Semester exams are moderately difficult.
