IEM and UEM are under the same group of management, which is IEM group. Here are some of the differences between the two institutes.
As a student of UEM, if you want to do an MS or pursue higher studies abroad, you will get a recommendation letter from IEM.
One of my cousins studied at UEM. He said that there is no such guarantee of placement. If you aspire to be placed, you will need to develop proper skills, have proper training, and then be assured of placement.
The points below are some of the key factors essential for placement, and the placement status of UEM Kolkata.
According to the advertisements of IEM, they have provided chances of placement to every student in at least one company. But, being in the ads, there are chances that it is not the correct statistics.

Therefore, hard work and finding the institute with a proper course, placement training, exposure, and placement opportunities is what you need to do to increase the chances of placement in some reputed company.
My elder brother is an alumnus of UEM Kolkata. The timings are not exactly flexible.
You can also consult for choosing one shift in case you are not comfortable with the other shift. A lot of students managed to get their shifts changed so take it with a grain of salt.
The second shift is the one where my brother was because there would be no stress of being late for class, less tension for submission of assignments. The only thing that will “tire” you will be the excursions.
The institute offers commendable infrastructural facilities and quality education to the students which is why so many students choose this college for pursuing engineering and management.
I have a few friends who are alumni of UEM, Rajarhat and they don’t recommend the institute.
But IEM has its own college in Kolkata which is far more reputed than UEM. UEM Jaipur campus is also great for engineering. UEM Kolkata does have the potential to become as good as the Jaipur campus with time. But as of now, it is not that great.
My brother studied in IEM Kolkata and firstly, it is a reputed college in West Bengal, even more than Jadavpur and IIEST Shibpur. The placement rate at IEM is about 80%-90%. On the other hand, UEM is a regular engineering college with only a few defining features. Its fame is because of the fact that it was established by the IEM trust.
If you're keen on choosing between these two, I'd suggest you consider the student intake because if the number is lesser then it's better. For this, you can ask alumni or someone currently studying there. Some students also have a negative view of IEM. The IT department is not as good because my brother's friend is there and claims that the professors do not know even the basics of the program.
So, be very refined in your research before choosing.
You do not have to give WBJEE to take admission to UEM Kolkata. You can get admission to UEM Kolkata through the IEMJEE entrance examination but UEM Kolkata does not take students from WBJEE counseling.
You can also try for admission through WBJEE and JEE Main ranks. In that case, you need to talk to the admission office of UEM. You can not get admission in UEM through WBJEE or JEE Main counseling.
UEM Kolkata is ranked as one of the best engineering institutes because of its highly qualified faculty, sprawling infrastructure, and top-class education with international exposure.
According to the experience of one of my friends at UEM Kolkata, the campus is one of the favorite places. When it comes to the environment inside the campus that is one of the main key factors to produce quality students.
Lastly, we can say that UEM, Kolkata is a place that not only provides quality education but at the same time grooms the overall personality of a child that helps him/her in the future.
The overall fee structure in UEM Kolkata keeps changing. But, there are no major modifications to it over the last few years.
For more classified details regarding the present fee structure, you can contact the IEM/UEM group via phone calls. The numbers are available on their website.
Both the institutes, Budge Budge Institute of Technology and UEM Kolkata, are average institutes. At present times, engineering is somewhat an overrated course, if studied from an average institute.
The points below give a brief overview of the present conditions of engineering from this kind of institute.

Budge Budge Institute of Technology |
UEM Kolkata |
Average CTC |

But if you want to take admission in either of those can choose any of them based on the amount of money spent for the degree and location preferences.
I have a few friends at the Haldia Institute of Technology and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest you to look for other options. Having a college campus in Kolkata will be advantageous for you.
You can get IT in Techno India salt-lake main campus. If you don’t get Techno you can go for CSE in B.P. Poddar, RCC or St. Thomas, or any other college. Follow previous year trends of opening and closing ranks of the college and make a choice accordingly.
Choosing the University of Engineering and Management (UEM), Kolkata can be risky because it is newly established. Even though it is under the banner of IEM, you can’t be certain about placements. Going by the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 4 LPA.
