₹ 17,855As far as reputation is concerned, Kalyani Government Engineering college ranks in one of the top best engineering colleges in West Bengal overall. Most students who sign up for West Bengal JEE almost always end up seeking admission hereafter JU.
If you are technology savvy and would like to delve into the subjects of engineering in greater depth, grow as well as hone your skills, and advance in this field, you should go definitely go to KGEC.
A friend of mine has told me that CSE in Kalyani Government Engineering College is better than that in Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College. It can be owed to the location of both places. Kalyani is an IT hub and it is not far from Kolkata. On the other hand, it will take you twelve hours to reach Jalpaiguri from Kolkata by train. It goes without saying that CSE of Kalyani Government Engineering College is better and obviously more preferred to that of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College.
The placements in both colleges are pretty much the same. The average package of both colleges is around 3.5 LPA in IT companies. It has to be said that more students get placed from KGEC.
KGEC is the more sought after institute because it attracts the better-ranked students. Most of the students whose ranks are under 3000 are from Kolkata, Hooghly, North 24 and South 24 Parganas regions. The faculty and infrastructure of both institutions are also pretty much similar.

University of Calcutta is better for ECE. The faculty, placement opportunity, research scope, and exposure offered is much better at CU compared to Kalyani Govt. Engineering College.
According to the highlights of Calcutta University placement in recent years, the average CTC for ECE students is around INR 8 LPA. The highest CTC goes up to INR 21 LPA.
When choosing an engineering college, it is always somewhat better to have your options, but at the same time, stick to government-run institutes. That clarifies most of the issues here. NIT Silchar and NIT Tripura are both prominent institutes to choose from.
Few others, unlike them, are mostly on the higher lists of popularity because they have their name inculcated as NIT. However, you should never feel left out if in any case you do not get acknowledged on grounds of NIT. The other best possible option, just second to NIT, is KGEC.
Although, there is a short list of people who actually end up recommending any private institutes in lands of West Bengal.
If you anyhow need to get enrolled in any of the private institutions, then going to institutes that are deemed well known, such as SRM, KIIT, Manipal can be some other good options from your pocket.

If not any of them, then choose going to COMEDK or try enrolling in other renowned private colleges in Bangalore, some of which are RV College of Engineering, PES Institute of Technology, BMS College of Engineering and MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology.
There is another information yet to share which is, unlike BITS-Pilani, BIT-Mesra and MIT-Manipal,IEM is known to admit various students through management quota which is rather not the case for many other prestigious private engineering institutes.
But, as mentioned earlier, getting to choose from a handful of governmental institutes are better than the latter. However, options other than those few are opened as well.
Choose the course that interests you, college is a secondary thing. Here are some of the facts that may help you in choosing the right branch for you.
Your future will depend on the branch you are choosing so choose according to your interest. All these Universities will offer you enough opportunities and resources to prosper. It’s up to you to use that well.
University of Calcutta and Kalyani Government Engineering College are both terrific colleges. There are certain precise points that draw out the best in these institutes.
Since this concerns your career, you must take some time before concluding a decision. Whichever branch you opt for it is you who has to study for 4 years, therefore, make a wise choice that you would not regret later.
Jadavpur University is a terrific institution with a high rating. It has a well-established engineering faculty. Although the standard of education is gradually losing its mark, you tend to learn more from the people you surround yourself with rather than the superlative courses.
If you are interested in CSE then it is suggested that you learn more about the faculty at Kalyani Government Engineering College. It is undoubtedly a good institute but rethink your enrollment here. KGEC will require you to make sacrifices and to sweat it out with concerted effort towards learning the subject in the classroom all by yourself.
If you are hesitant about CSE then opt for power plant engineering. If your indecisiveness is because of the famous university and CSE you should keep in mind that the name of the university matters only to a limited extent.
Civil Engineering and CSE are the trendiest branches as reckoned by the leading companies. If you will opt for a better college over a preferred branch for pursuing engineering then it is suggested to switch your opinion.
Seeing this, you must choose Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University over KGEC. Following are the reasons for choosing the same:
It is suggested that you choose your preferred stream if you ultimately have planned on pursuing higher studies like GATE, GRE, etc. If you are planning on doing MBA or some job then JU would be the best fit.
You should keep in mind that the name tag of your undergraduate institute always stays with you hence choose wisely.
The University of Calcutta is a self-governing or autonomous institution, while Kalyani Government Engineering College is governed by MAKAUT. The various departments of the CU have a better reputation among the student communities of India.
It’s totally up to you whether you wish to enroll in a world-renowned University like CU or you want to study at a state-funded college which in this case is KGEC.
If you solely consider studies as the basis of the selection of an institute for your career, I don't believe there will be much of a difference.
Also remember, that usually everyone despises their own university no matter how good or bad it in reality is. You surely would not want a gloomy college experience. So do your homework before deciding on an institution.
