A senior of mine who was a student of Purulia Government Engineering College has strictly advised me not to apply for this college.

His reasons for this suggestion are listed below: 

• The college was under construction when he was a student. Most of the labs of the college were underdeveloped. Even school labs are better off than the ones of the college. 
• The total construction budget of the college is 36 crores which is very less when it comes to engineering colleges. The annual budget of colleges like Kalyani Government College and Jalpaiguri College is much higher than that of Purulia Engineering College.
• The college is in a remote location which can also be a hindrance for both students both current and hopeful. 
• There is no internship and in all probability, no placement. 
• For coaching for GATE exams, you’ll have to travel to Kolkata which can be as long as 8 hours.

If you have got Jadavpur University, IEM, KGEC (CSE, IT, ECE), then you should stop thinking about Purulia as those institutes are some of the best.

Jalpaiguri, GCECT, GCELT, or any other government college is also a very good choice. You can also join Techno or Heritage depending on your ranking.

My senior made the mistake of joining Purulia Government Engineering College. Even if you have joined already, don’t quit working hard. The future is unpredictable.
