IEM and UEM are under the same group of management, which is IEM group. Here are some of the differences between the two institutes.
- IEM follows the syllabus of MAKAUT. UEM follows its own syllabus as it is autonomous. However, around 80% of the syllabus is similar to MAKAUT.
- IEM takes admission through WEJEE and the required cutoff is high. Getting admission at UEM is comparably easier. It takes admission through IEMJEE.
- Comparably, IEM has a better placement record. IEM Kolkata average package is INR 4 LPA.
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.
UEM is a private university whereas IEM is affiliated to WBUT. Having friends studying at both the colleges, I am well aware of their performance. I can say that the standard of IEM college is much better than UEM.
- IEM ranks among the top engineering colleges in West Bengal.
- IEM has high cut offs for getting admission. Admission is based on the WBJEE examination.
- UEM takes their own examination i.e. IEMJEE which is very easy to crack.
- The IEM college follows the syllabus of MAKAUT syllabus which is the old college of WBUT, whereas UEM have their own syllabus.
- The management and faculty members are both the same in both the institutions.

| Average CTC | 16 LPA | 8 LPA |

If you want to study MS then it is suggested you go for IEM. It will be more valuable than UEM. It is an older and much more reliable institute.
