SIT- A very underrated college

No there are no bad remarks about my college apart from small disputes among the students. People in siliguri respect our college a lot because it has provided various small employments to so many people, from small restaurants, PGs to various auto and commutation services

WBJEE, Rank-21385, I opted for this college because i was getting a good specialization here according to my rank. Also the location is good.

The course curriculum is average to be honest. They need to focus more on developing practical skills of the students. Rather than concentrating on theoretical teachings, they should provide better facilities for practical applications.Also they should decrease the burden of assignments and projects on students. Due to these people dont get time to study for their own development and are stuck in writing assignment and mugging up notes.

No my college does not provide any internship. We are advised to pursue our internships from various other organisations. However, the college conducts several workshops and seminars in various fields.

Placements are not so good here. Mainly because of low funding by the trustees. the companies are not paid well enough to visit our college and hence we end up visiting other colleges to participate in pool campussings. In my batch out of around 300 students only 20-25 students were placed.TCS- 3LPA, L&T Infotech- 3LPA, IBM-3LPA, Odessa Technologies-2.8 LPA, Shriram Finance- 2LPA.

We used to have all sort of functions in our college. 4 days cultural fest. First day had inter college cultural competitions, second and third day bands used to perform. Every year technical competitions and sports competitions occured in our college. all the colleges under same university used to compete.

Fee structure was expensive. We used to pay 40000 per semester. Although the college was underrated the fee structure and hostel fee was very expensive as compared to its status.

Yes, the students who belong to minority and backward class students used to get fee relaxation and scholarship from college. Which we couldn't avail because we belong to general category.

Gender ratio was approx 60:40 in our college (boys:girls). We had inter college competitions during tech fest where all other students from different colleges used to come and participate in Various competitions like robotics, Sudoku, Ethical hacking, debates, extempore and many other small activities.

We paid 19200 for hostel every semester. hostels were not inside college premises so we used to take public transport to reach college which made it even more expensive. Food was nice but in the rooms only bed and an cupboard was provided. No extra facilities.

The alumni network is not that strong. although we have an alumni meet every year, but we are not able to attend it as maximum people are busy in their lives. But friends and eseniors are well connected on the social network. They help each other in every possible way, from career advices to refferals in various organisations.

Lab exams are kept without any gaps.although in theory papers we get sufficient gaps to study, depending on the level of complexity of the subject.We used to give two practical exams in a single separated by a break of just 45 mins. out of which the first 10 mins passed away in deciding whether to feed the brain or stomach

The faculty in my college are highly qualified. They are all highly knowledgable in their respective fields. They go into deep detail while teaching which sometimes backfires as the students are unable to extract the facts. Also they should decrease the burden of assignments and projects on students. Due to these people dont get time to study for their own development and are stuck in writing assignment and mugging up notes.
