Review by a CSE Undergrad

I am currently a 2nd-year student in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department. I chose this course because I have an interest in emerging computer technologies. The faculties of our department are very helpful and highly knowledgeable. They make every concept clear and also give us an overview of the software market and the environment of the IT industry. Exams are conducted at regular intervals.

Our college does provide internship opportunities for different roles. Industrial training is provided by many companies such as AIMIL LTD., Dynamic Digital Technology, Exide, Intel, Shyam Group, Ultratech cement, Virtusa, Informatica, RTS power, Supreme, and many more. Industry visits for students are also done by the college.

AEC provides good placement opportunities, almost 70 - 75% of the students are placed every year. However, placements depend on the individual's capabilities and skills they acquire during college life. As this is a joint venture of JIS and techno India group so, Campus placements are held with the students of those colleges. The highest and average packages vary every year, last year it went 29 lakhs per annum. The top recruiter of our college is TCS. Many other companies like Wipro, Cognizant, and Rapido, also recruit students of our college. The college Placement cell is very active in providing us with opportunities.

The fee structure is quite affordable compared to other private engineering colleges. For us, it is 4.25 lakhs for course completion which also includes the admission fees. There are also various scholarships available for eligible candidates. Students who are from west Bengal can have access to many more scholarships like SVMCM, etc. There are also some reservation benefits.

AEC Campus life is quite good however inferior to those of top engineering colleges. Cultural and Tech fests are held every year generally between April and August. AEC has a central library that has a variety of books from every field of engineering however, most of the books are quite old following an old syllabus. There are many clubs in AEC such as Hardware Club, Coding Club, Science club, and many more cultural clubs which enhance the extracurricular activities of students. Our college also takes part in intercollege tournaments.

The admission process was pretty relevant and smooth. Admission is done based on the individual's score in jee mains or WBJEE(West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam). I got admitted through the WBJEE examination with a relevant score. The application form is available on the respective official websites. Generally, the cutoff for CSE(Computer Science and Engineering) course goes to 25k in AEC.
