Step in NEW ZIG:

Day before yesterday was very much troublesome ‘That’s the counseling day’. We were told that our counseling would be around 3-4 p.m. but when I choose RCC it was already over 9 p.m. But the next story could be a history ‘making of 4th Idiots’. All time I was inside the pressure cooker, whether I will get RCC or not, because it was my 1st choice. I had general rank 263 and trade rank 53 which is quite good, because I am appearing this Lateral entry exam after 8 years after passing diploma in ETC in the year 2002. I knew very well I am not going to get chance in Shivpur, Jadavpur or in Kalyani, so there was no option of Govt. Engineering college near Kolkata. I could get Kalyani Govt. Engg. college, but again I have to stay in the hostel, and I am sure while be in a hostel I will take ‘Ganja, N10, Fencidil etc’. Because these are a part of engineering college hostel life, and when I was in AEC’s hostel I did the same thing although being a faculty.
In the counseling hall everyone was scared because if they could not get the desired college. But for me it was the 1st choice. The RCC INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, RCC (http://www.rcciit.in/) is govt. sponsored engineering college, hence the fees are much lower than other privet colleges like IEM, Heritage, Techno ect, the fee is almost half. The overall expenses would be around below ` 1.5 L. This college was previously the Regional Computer Centre (RCC) of Jadvpur University and the old campus of Lather Technology Engineering College. It has accrued name in CS and IT, but I do not know about the ECE and EE branch, because the 1st batch of ECE from the college just passed out this year, let’s see what happed. But now it is sure that that I am going to achieve my first dream of ’10 wishes before you die’. Thank you GOD, Tussie great ho.
Yester day I got admitted in this college by deposited ` 39,500 (20,500 per semester included). Let’s have a look of the others college fees structure.
IEM= Rs. 56, 500 at the time of admission and Rs. 45,000 per semester, total Rs.2,81,500 for Lateral Entry.
Heritage= Rs. 67,200+Rs.45,000, Rs.2,92,000
