Average government college.

Placements: If I talk about placement then it would be very pathetic because placement is not that much good as a government engineering college. Last year 40% students got placed and maximum placed in TCS, No other mejor company no core company. Mechanical and Electrical, their only hope is GATE. For ECE some of then placed at TCS and no core Company. Also some other companies have come like tech mahindra, wipro but took a small number of students.

This college is decent, and it is a government engineering college.

Placements: About 70% of the students got selected in different companies. TCS took the main part. Other companies like Wipro, IBM, MN Dastur, Kreeti, Tech Mahendra, DDT, etc., visit the college. The highest salary is about 4.9 LPA. The placement cell performance is very average.

A college of dreams. Come here to pursue your career with fun.

Placements: Placements were basically in software companies like TCS, WIPRO, CAPGEMINI, ORACLE and VEDA IIT. Some core companies like Bengal Beverages, MN DASTUR and Godrej took few students too. Nearly 70% students were placed last year and this year that increased to 80%.

A top class college for a good student.

Placements: The placement record of this college is very good. It is the third best engineering college in west Bengal. Last year companies like Siemens, Pinnacle, simplex, ravasco come to our company for placement. Also, this college is improving day by day. The percentage of total placed students is high in this college.

Good placements and very helpful HODs.

Placements: We are one of the leading technical institutes in eastern India. More or less, 10-15 companies visit our college in every academic session. The average salary is 3.36-6 LPA, but in this session, four students from our college secured a job in Hindustan Unilever Pvt. Ltd. The salary is around 9.00 LPA. Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro are the major recruiters.

Worth the money, but it's better to go for other good colleges, good talents are ruined.

Placements: Most of the companies that visit the campus for placements are IT companies. Very few core companies visit. The average CTC offered is around 3.5 LPA. M.Tech and MCA students face difficulties in getting a job. Placements overall are around 60-70%. The main mass recruiter is TCS. Most of the placements are done in pool campusing.

Kalyani Government Engineering College: a review.

Placements: The placement in the college although better than other government colleges under MAKAUT, it is still mostly dependent on mass recruiters like TCS, etc. The average salary package offered was 3.5 LPA, the highest salary package ever for the college is 9 LPA secured by 4 students of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering streams of the batch 2014-2018 in HUL, off-campus of course. Many students go for GATE or CAT or WBCS, so you are guaranteed to get a very diverse alumni base. The stu...

This is the 2nd top government college.

Placements: The placement is not bad on the campus. Last year, TCS recruited 120 students, and Wipro, DXCorr, MN Dastur, Mahindra, etc., hired a lot of students, but for electrical engineering, mechanical engineering we have to focus on GATE examination to get a good job that's all, and the environment is awesome here.

Our life at Kalyani Government Engineering College.

Placements: The placements majorly go for the favour in CSE and IT. The training and placement officer is not good. The students purely rely on their capabilities, whether they are in the hostel union or not. The one thing for sure is that every year TCS will come and recruit about 100-200 students. Now either you can be ambitious enough not to waste the skills to land a job in TCS, or you can go along with the crowd. I was an ECE graduate, and I am now working for Dell. Other major recruiters you will see...

The topmost government engineering college of West Bengal.

Placements: TCS has always been the mass recruiter in our college. In this dire state of the market, TCS has recruited some odd 110 students from all streams in B.Tech programme, while other reputed companies namely Kriti, Wipro, Sankalp, M.N Dastoor, Veda IT have also recruited few. The average salary offered by TCS was 3.5 LPA, while the maximum package of 5+LPA, that has been offered by Kriti. Overall, KGEC is a trusted college with regards to placements.

Somewhat satisfied as there can be much improvement in teaching as well as campusing.

Placements: Placements at our college are fair. TCS is the mass recruiter, and on an average, it recruits up to 130 students every year. Other than that, Wipro, Kreeti Technology, DDT, M. N. Dastur and Ericsson also visit our campus. But with the market downgrading, campusing has been affected in the recent years. We have TNP cell for placements, and KGEC E-CELL also takes good care of entrepreneurship.

Overview of Kalyani government engineering college.

Placements: The placements were quite well, but not so good. Our seniors got jobs in TCS, IBM, HUL, Wipro and many more reputed companies. The minimum package offered to the freshman is 25000 per month. Many students got PSU jobs through the rank in the GATE examination.

Placements: The placements of our college are quite good. Most of the companies are software based companies like TCS, WIPRO, etc., but from last 2 years, companies like 'Sankalp Semiconductor', 'Tech Mahindra', 'Kreeti' etc., have placed a right amount of students. Here the statistics are, in the year 2015 TCS recruited 216 members, and the package offered is 3.35 LPA, Oracle recruited 1 member for 4.27LPA, Tech-Mahindra recruited 2 members 3.05LPA.

Journey of a wonderful life.

Placements: It is one of the best colleges in India, as it is a government college. There are best placements for IF, CSE, ECE, EE, MCA and few for ME. I got placed in TCS in the starting of my 7th semester. Along with me, there are 280 more students, who got placed in several MNC companies.

KGEC is a very good college.

Placements: The placements of our college are quite good when compared to other colleges which are governed by the state government. This year, we had a pool placement drives where the students were offered a package of 10 LPA which is a very good achievement for our college. Our TPO always tries to bring new companies.

High educational quality and infrastructure, but there is a lack of placements.

Placements: The placement record at KGEC is approximately 85%, while most of the core departmental student go with GATE and few with CAT. Majority of CSE, IT, ECE students get placed from campus placements. The highest package for the session 2017-18 was 9LPA by HindustanUnilever.

Kalyani Government Engineering College: A place to study and live.

Placements: I was placed in TCS with a package of 3.3 lakhs per annum. Wipro, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra and smaller electrical, mechanical core companies also come. In the last 3-4 years, the placements are good. M.Tech courses are also available here, and the same type of placement is also in M.Tech with a higher package.
