No. Techno India University, West Bengal (TIU) is a private university set up under a West Bengal Act in 2012, while Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL), formerly Techno India Salt Lake, is an engineering college affiliated to MAKAUT. Both belong to the Techno India Group and both are in Sector V, Salt Lake, but their degrees, fees and WBJEE cut-offs are different.

TMSL is harder to get into: B.Tech CSE closed at about rank 8,700 in round 1 of WBJEE 2025, and the college reported 96% placement with an average of ₹7.5 LPA in 2023. TINT has more seats (300 in CSE alone), a more relaxed cut-off and reported 82% placement with an average of ₹5 LPA in 2024. If your rank allows, TMSL is usually the first choice. See our TMSL vs TINT vs TIU comparison.
