Questions Asked On JIS College of Engineering, Kolkata

My brother enrolled in the BTech program at JIS College of Engineering after going through a lot of brainstorming as a school graduate. Yes, it is a private engineering college but it has been ranked as one of the 'Best Private Engineering Colleges in Kolkata' and is amongst the 'Top 100 Colleges in India' by the Times of India i3RC Survey on Engineering Colleges of India. 

You may want to know at the following points:

• Location- JIS Engineering College has a 17.5 acres campus in Kalyani, West Bengal. The space is vast, green, and refreshing to behold.

• Courses Available- JISCE offers a wide variety of programs in engineering and technology like the following- B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics, and Communication Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Apart from these, it also runs degrees in BCA, BBA & MBA.

• Tuition Fees- If you're worried that being a private college they'll charge high fees- then you Don't worry because the fees are nominal: for instance, it is INR 3-4 LPA for a BE/BTech program.

• Infrastructure and Hostel Availability- JIS has one of the best infrastructures because of its Flip Learning facility, seven smart classrooms, labs, library, canteen, and a recording studio with a 24x7 recording facility for both students and faculty members to record digital audio-visual content. There are two separate hostels for boys and girls.

For internships and placements, each department has its own internship provision and if you're a brilliant student, you might even get to work with the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok. The placement rate is also a good 78-80% with an average salary of around 2-3 LPA and the highest being INR 6-10 LPA; BME and CSE are the best departments in terms of placements. 

However, if you're not comfortable with strictness then rethink your decision to enroll because JIS has its own dress code. Also, the 75% compulsory attendance rule is not relaxed at any cost. Although this strictness has one good point too, as JIS is a fully ragging-free campus, hence students can join without any stress on that matter. 

JIS College of Engineering (JISCE) is the 2nd branch of the JIS group of institutions. JISCE is considered to be a better institution than JIS University (JISU), for their placement record, faculty, etc. Candidates must have 60% in PCM in their 10+2 qualifying examinations to be eligible for admission. They should also have a valid WBJEE score.

The table given below gives some factual information on both institutions:

Some points on JISCE being a better institution for BTech are as follows:

• JISCE follows a concept of 'Flip Learning,' a rare mode of learning which gives an advantage in placement than JISU. It is the first of its kind in West Bengal.

• At JISCE, about 140-150 CSE students got placed with Amazon, Capgemini and Wipro with an average package of 2.5-2.8 LPA. The highest package was INR 10 LPA offered by BYJUs. Over 80% of students got placed in 2020.

• The major recruiters at JISU are Bandhan Bank, Cipla, and Flipkart.

• JISCE has better lab facilities than JISU. It has over 57 laboratories with better infrastructure and are fully wifi enabled.

• The CSE department of the JISCE promotes Digital Learning to save paperwork, keeping in alignment with the digital age.

• JIS College of Engineering has a highly qualified faculty of over 20-25 members. They are better compared to JIS University.

The only negative point is that the campus life is boring at JISU, and ragging is rampant as well.There are many colleges under the JIS group and if you compare JIS colleges with others in terms of faculty, placements, salary packages offered, JISCE gets the first position.

In JIS College of Engineering, Kalyani, Nadia's CSE and ECE are its top branches of Engineering. CS is popular among other branches as well. An additional support is offered by seniors and faculty members for the CSE department.

Considering placements students are required to score above average. The IT department had a 78% recruitment rate and CSE had an 80% rate. It is also considered to be a better department than mechanical engineering.

The table below shows the placement statistics of the college:

The following features make CSE a better department than others:

• The JISCE campus has a library, a computer centre and has a striking infrastructure.

• The campus area is 17.5 acre and has 71 classrooms, 57 labs, 2 auditoriums, 2 canteens and 2 gender segregated hostels.

• JISCE’s CSE department has a highly qualified faculty including 25 members.

Each student is alloted a mentor for guidance. The 75% attendance ratio is an important part of getting access to placements which is a bit strict. The above-stated facts suggest that CSE is a much better option at JISCE than other engineering courses.
