    My alma mater will always hold a special place in my heart. But these days, while entering the college, the guards treat us like outsiders and this is painful. Well maintained overall, although the grounds are covered with lots of grasses, probably the effect of covid.

    One of the oldest and most important college of Kolkata for Engineering, which is also an NIT and has a good nirf rank. The campus is huge with so much greenery and also there is every kind facility a student looks forward including good placements. "Just Cazz!"

    Yes, Indeed It's a great College. After all, It's an Institute of National importance, right ? I, myself being a student of this eminent institute, can tell you pages about here. The campus is beautiful, and it's quite luscious and clean. You'll definitely be enjoying your 4 years of Engineering here. And the plus point is, Kolkata city is really really close, so you get to enjoy that advantage as well.

  • 4/5 Ayan C. 4 years ago on Google
    I just entered this college, but I have completed two semesters here and the environment is as in a college should be. You will find peace in the campus, fun in the hostels and sleep in the classrooms(joke). The faculty is good gives the vibe of a strict study routine like some high school. But they are openminded and cooperative.

  • 4/5 priyangshu 1 year ago on Google
    It's a very good Institute in India ( 2nd oldest engineering College of India) formerly Bengal Engineering College and Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. Though infrastructure has to be better. And administration should be better because the institute is running by bhosdike administration, that's why nirf ranking is lowering year by year.

  • 4/5 Shital R. 4 years ago on Google
    Studied (1975-80) in the college (Bengal Engineering College, then); an old reputed but emerging from the bad days of the 6os. The college had old but functioning infrastructures and good teaching staff. Visited the place two more times when it was deemed university and IIEST. Premises need good maintenance and face uplift. Downing hall, where we stayed in ist year was in pathetic conditions. A potential place that needs some investment and good management.
