JGEC - Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College Answered Questions

Comparison between Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC) and Techno India:
1. JGEC is a government institute whereas Techno India is private. This means the total expenditure in JGEC (including college and mess fees for 4 years) is about 1.8-2.5 lacs for non-core department and less than 1.5 lacs for core departments. But in Techno India, it will be around 4 lacs (only the college fee for four years).
2. JGEC is one of the best government institutes in West Bengal.
3. JGEC has scenic beauty but away from Kolkata. Techno India is in Kolkata.
4. Placements: Placements are more or less the same in state engineering colleges. JGEC has about 60-70% placements and Techno India has about 50%.
5. Apart from TFW (tuition fee waiver), there are other scholarships in JGEC.
6. JGEC has its own hostels (4 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel) and they provide nearly 100% accommodation. Whereas Techno India doesn't have hostels but they manage accommodation in nearby PGs. Hostel fee in JGEC is reasonable.
So I think JGEC is better between the two.

It provide post-graduate courses in the following two disciplines:
M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Production Technology and Management)
M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Power Electronics and Drives)
Admission in M.Tech is taken through GATE ranking.

To get admission in government colleges Domicile certificate is must! I don't know much about the private colleges. During last year's counseling they checked domicile certificate of each and every student. Do you have any of your parents working in West Bengal? If yes, then you can GET a domicile certificate. You can check once the site and make sure which proforma is valid for you. I know few students of Bihar studying in JGEC.

Hello there,
I was going through the same question after getting my WBJEE '16 result and at last, I think I have taken the perfect decision. There are few parameters by which you can compare between KGEC and JGEC:
1. Opening & Closing rank
If you go through some research in the web you will see that KGEC has lower or crores (up to 4k) comparable to JGEC (crores was more than 5k) in the past years. KGEC comes just after JU under WBJEE.
2. Streams
JGEC has a extra stream I. e CIVIL, which KGEC does't. So if u want to study CIVIL only then JGEC is your only choice but if you are looking for others you have both the colleges.
3. Placement
Both of the colleges have more or less the same placement stats. They don't have placement you dream of unlike JU and BESU. Most of the recruiting companies are IT companies. There are few companies for the core departments.
4. Board
KGEC is under the board of WBUT which is presently known as MAKAUT where JGEC in the other hand is AUTONOMOUS.
