Admission to the college is through WBJEE or JEE Main ranks, with details available on respective websites. The process starts post-exam results and spans 1-2 weeks with 3-4 selection stages. The college boasts well-equipped labs, good teaching facilities, and strong campus recruitment, with about 80% student placement in reputable companies. The faculty-student ratio is 1:5, with generally qualified and supportive faculty, although there are some teaching quality issues in the Computer Science and Engineering department.

The course fee is approximately Rs. 320,000, with a semester fee of Rs. 45,000 and an exam fee of Rs. 1,200 per semester. WBJEE entrants pay around Rs. 170,000 in total, with a semester fee of Rs. 21,000. Placement primarily involves IT companies like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, with an average placement rate of 70-90%. TCS recruits about 450 students annually, offering starting packages of 3.6 LPA, while others like IBM offer up to 9 LPA.

Core companies offer packages between 4.5-6.5 LPA. The highest reported package was 36 LPA. Internships, mostly unpaid, are offered in the third year, with some stipends like ITC's 15k. The placement cell plays a key role in recruitments due to a weak alumni network.
