MCKVIE, a good college for its price

I am a student of Computer Science Engineering and the curriculum prepares students of all branches for inter disciplinary courses, so that all branches have a basic idea of all branches of engineering in general. The curriculum stresses a lot on communication, social and personality development. There are regular lab classes and weekly assignments and tests to keep track of a student's progress. There are lots of extra and co curricular activities which enhance and add to the experience of a college student. The college follows the MAR point system proposed by MAKAUT, which includes and promotes a huge variety of this activities. In addition to this, the college has many clubs, the students of which participate actively in social activities like blood donation drive, marathon, cloth donation, self defence drive etc.

There is a basketball ground, the college promotes sports like cricket, basketball, carrom, table tennis etc. However there is no ground. College students run many social and cultural clubs that have regular upadtes on occasions for students to participate in like cloth donation camp, blood donation camp, self defence drive, dandia celebration etc. and also get MAR points accordingly.

I applied for admission in many colleges like Siliguri Institute of technology, Heritage Institute of technology, Techno Main Salt Lake, Calcutta Institute of Engineering and management. (Through management quota) From the above, I got a confirmed admission in CIEM(Calcutta Institute of Engineering and Management) but i later opted for WBJEE Counseling to try my luck there. I put many colleges in My WBJEE preference list. It's very fortunate that I found out about MCKVIE at the last moment as it was a very good college considering its low price. From the colleges that i opted for both in counseling and management quota... most colleges were too expensive for me, or i was not able to get the desired course. MCKVIE was very suitable as I got CSE with a semester-wise tuition fees of around 55k. The admission process of my college was fairly systematic, I got Core CSE through WBJEE Counseling and got my seat throught WBJEE+JEE Rank. Overall admission experience was a bit lengthy process because it involved the Counseling procedures, but it was smooth and the officials were helpful and well prepared for all kinds of inconveniences

The faculty to student ratio is 1:60 for thery classes and 1:30 for laboratory classes and workshops. The faculties are very approachable and helpful. The Computer Science faculty is really good, has an exceptional and methodical way of teaching. I particularly didn't like the chemistry faculty as i found some flaws in their way of teaching, like making errors while explaining concepts, disrupting the flow of understanding. The college is very strict regarding attandance, may not let you sit for tests due to low attandance. You can do very well if you follow the lectures.
