Guidance Classes are being conducted by the West Bengal State Centre, The Institution of Engineers (India), Technical Education Cell twice a year, i.e. Summer Session and Winter Session. Summer Session is from January to May and Winter Session is from July to November each year. Guidance Classes for Technician and Senior Technician Members are usually commenced in the midd of January and mid July for Summer and Winter Session, respectively under the guidance of Technical Education Cell.
