Due to its good reputation, numerous industry ties, and high placement rates, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) is regarded as one of the finest engineering institutes for placement in West Bengal. But there are also notable placement prospects at other prestigious engineering schools like the Jadavpur University Faculty of Engineering and Technology (JU FET) and the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgap.

Although a WBJEE (West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination) rank of 75,000 is a respectable one, it would not be viewed as being very competitive for admission into the best engineering institutes in West Bengal. There are, however, a number of alternative engineering schools where you might stand a reasonable chance of getting accepted.

Jadavpur University Faculty of Engineering and Technology (JU FET), Bengal Engineering and Science University (currently known as IIEST Shibpur), Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), Kalyani Government Engineering College (KGEC), and Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM), Kolkata, are the top 5 engineering colleges in West Bengal under WBJEE.
