Subham Kumar's Review on KGEC - Kalyani Government Engineering College
Placements and Internships
- Kalyani Government Engineering College (KGEC) has excellent placement record and shapes its students meticulously for the top leading firms. The recruitment process starts after 6th semester for B.Tech, 4th semester for MCA and 2nd semester for M.Tech. Students. It is generally spread over approximately one year for every batch, starting from July and ending in June. The college has received 'A' grade from Tata Consultancy Services (T.C.S.) as per its own accreditation system. The placement cell of the college imparts excellent infrastructure facilities for the final interviews process. Lowest salary offered is INR 200000 lakh per annum and the highest salary offered is INR 550000 lakh per annum by top Visiting companies IBM, Wipro, Infosys.
- The college provides internship opportunities to students. Actually, I don't know much about the stipend being a first-year student but this year the Entrepreneurship Cell of our college has decided to provide short internships to first-year students just for gaining experience and knowledge about outside exposure.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- There are 5 hostels in total including one separate hostel for girls and one separate hostel for first-year students. Rooms are on double sharing basis. There are ample of rooms for all students. Canteen in hostels need improvement but there are a common room with indoor games, badminton or volleyball court. There are no ragging and seniors are quite helpful. Conveyance to Kalyani station needs improvement though.

Academics and Faculty
- The faculties are well experienced in teaching and decently knowledgeable. Some of them are from IIT background and most of them are doctorates. Sometimes I felt a need for different approaches for students who are willing to go forward in research and not looking for placements.
- The faculty was excellent for our course and they taught us the course content very easily.They provide us the project for the practical experience.The class materials were very helping for preparation of the examination.
Fees and Scholarships
- The course free in my academic period (2010-2014) was pretty low i.e. INR 2000 per month. Students with the financial problem were allowed to apply for the full and half freeship. The free-ship was awarded on the basis of family income and the academic results.

Academics & Faculty : Classes in college begin from 10:30 am to 4:50 pm. I am working on a project on Drowsiness Detection for my final year. We have to give 2 assignments and 2 internals for each subject before our semester exams. Most of our faculty have done Ph.D , most of them are working on projects which is financed by WBUT now MAKAUT. The teachers are friendly and the quality and methods of teaching are good. They are interactive but also very particular about punctuality and discipline. Our college not only conducts educational conferences like IEEE or robotics workshop but also events like fest Espektro , usually held on March every year. My experience for almost 4 years of stay in this college has been very educative and inspiring.
