Is there anything good about IEM, Kolkata for a BTech? Will we get any extra advantage studying in IEM?

Subhashree Nath

22 Mar 21

A friend of mine did her BTech from IEM Kolkata and now she is working as a Cyber Security Analyst in a big firm. Here are a few things that she experienced in her duration at the college.

Unnecessary Rules: Students often complain about the unnecessary discipline enforced by the college to attend all of the lectures and seminars irrespective of their choice and usefulness.
Faculty: In terms of faculty, there is a mix of average and good professors. But most of the good professors are moving to different colleges.
Placements: In the terms of placement, the data may show it as amazing but in reality, most of the students of IEM end up in mass recruiting jobs offered by any IT company. Only a few of the students end up in good companies.

If you are choosing IEM try to make the most of it. Other than college learning, try and take up some extra courses such as coding or hacking and security, it will help a lot. There are a handful of helpful faculties at IEM. Interacting and working with those professors will help a lot in going good places.

Learn to utilize their time and learn new things. Learn something new and read as much as possible. If you are not happy with campus placements then you should look for off-campus placements as well.

Should I take CSE in KIIT or IEM, Kolkata?

Neha Menon

22 Mar 21

IEM and KIIT both are good options for CSE. Given below are a few of the aspects of the institute which can help you in making the right choice.

Comparison:

IEM has established quite a reputation for CSE and rightly so.
The faculties for CSE are quite great.
The CSE department also has an extensive alumni base.
However, there is not much to the campus life at IEM. If you want to bunk the class, the only place you can go in the library. On the other hand, KIIT offers a better campus life.
The placement record for IEM and KIIT is quite similar. Mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys visit both campuses. If after the completion of 4 years, you get placed in TCS, investing a lump sum at KIIT is not worth it.

If you go for IEM, you can stay in Kolkata and prepare for various examinations like GATE, CAT, etc. Also, IEM is more affordable. So, choose accordingly.

Kajal Agarwal

12 Apr 21

IEM Kolkata ranks higher than HIT Kolkata in various rankings. But when it comes to placement, both the institute have similar placement statistics. An almost similar set of IT mass recruit companies visit both te campuses with the same CTC.

Here is a brief overview of the IT program offered by the institutes.

Parameters	IEM Kolkata	HIT Kolkata
Placement Average	90%	80%
Highest CTC	40 LPA	8 LPA
Major Recruiters	Cognizant, Capgemini, Infosys, etc.	TCS, Wipro, Infosys, ITC, BYJU’s, Nine Leaves

If you want a happening campus life go for HIT Kolkata. It has a sprawling campus with good infrastructural facilities. IEM lacks that as it is situated in the heart of the corporate center in Kolkata.
