More than 5000 students have completed their studies from BCMC College. 13 Diploma in Engineering, 06 B Sc (Hons) in CSE, 08 BBA & 06 Diploma in Medical Technology batches have already been passed out from the college. Most of these students are well-placed in various jobs of government, semi government, autonomous bodies & private organizations both at home & abroad. Names of the work-stations where the students of BCMC College are currently working are given below :

  1. Grameen Phone, Bangla Link, Airtel, Robi & other mobile & land phone companies.
  2. Sonali Bank, BASIC Bank, BRAC Bank, National Bank, Grameen Bank & other banks, insurance companies & financial institutions.
  3. Sheltech & other Developer & Real Estate companies.
  4. Partex Group & other national & multinational companies.

Upon successful completion of 17 years the BCMC College of Engineering & Technology has been passing its 18th year. Since inception the college never practised the traditional system of education; rather it advanced through its own innovated way which is termed as `Career Friendly Education’. The college wants to explore the hidden potentialities of a student in order to make his/her life full-fledged. The policy & the system of education followed by the BCMC College of Engineering & Technology have been accepted by the students & their guardians which can be guessed to see the students from 44 districts of the country joining the BCMC College. Again considering the parameters like infrastructural facility, number & quality of teachers, officers & staff, types of curriculums, supervision of students, linkage with guardians, accountabilities of teachers & students, co-curricular club activities, library, educational inputs & lab equipments, students’ transportation, recreational & study tour and other facilities, provision of scholarships/stipends/prizes, job searching assistance etc. the BCMC College of Engineering & Technology has turned into the largest private leading engineering college of the country long before.
