Which is a better option, IT IIEST Shibpur or CSE at IEM?

Here is some information to assist you in choice-making- Snapdeal, Amazon, Google, etc. visit IIEST Shibpur and offer equal placement opportunities to both IT and CSE students. My roommate from IT got into Snapdeal through campus placement. IEM isn’t a well-known college. It is a local college unlike IIEST, which is an institute of national importance. The campus size of IEM is very small. Big companies don’t usually visit small colleges like IEM. The college tag has a value of its own. Besides, the opportunities and exposure offered by IIEST are immense. Thus, I would recommend you opt for IT at IIEST Shibpur.

Should I prefer IEM Kolkata IT or Heritage institute technology ECE?

IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA. Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.

Can I expect IEM Kolkata IT with rank 6k? How is IEM IT? What are the highest and average packages?

Yes, you can get IEM Kolkata with a rank of 6k. In 2021, the closing cutoff for the IT branch was 2483-8457. IEM Kolkata is an average college. The academics and facilities offered aren’t good for IT. Alumni of the institute who are well-established in the IT sector received the opportunities based on their talent and expertise. If you have other better options, you should choose them over IEM. As per the recent placement highlights, IEM Kolkata average CTC was INR 5-6 LPA. While the highest CTC offered to the student of this branch was INR 42 LPA.

What should I take, IT in IEM or CSE in Heritage Institute of Technology?

In terms of college, IEM and HIT both provide similar career opportunities in the IT sector. Major recruiters like TCS, Infosys, CTS, Capgemini from the IT sector visit both the institutes. If you had to pick between the two engineering fields, you should always go with CS. If you select CS, you will be able to apply for a variety of government/public sector positions (ISRO, BARC, IOCL) after completing your B.tech. Only CS guys are qualified to apply for the majority of these government jobs. Parameters IEM Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata Tuition fees (B.Tech) 5.88 lakhs 3.93 lakhs Average CTC INR 5-6 LPA INR 3.75 LPA Highest CTC 72 LPA 16 LPA As you will get similar opportunities you can choose either. Also, outside of WB, no one cares if you're from IEM or HIT. Unless you're from JU, everything is the same.

Dislikes

2 extra paper for different competitive exam along with semester papers.

In my college, fee in increasing every year by 20,000. i.e; per semester 10,000. My batch is 2022-2026 in my time fee was 1.5 lakh per year. Tution fee is around 75,000 registration fee is ?500(one-time) admission fee is around ?24,000(one-time), Development fees,lab fees and the other compulsary charge is 6000(one-time). Examination fee is not included in semester fee that is ?1200 per semester without back. There is no hidden charges in the college. There is another category of students is fee waiver in that student must belongs to the state west bengal with valid documents then his/her fee get reduced. One of my friend is paying 1,05,000 for admission and after that 57,000 for each semester. Alumni scholarship is given to around 30-40 students of each batch with Valid reason and valid documents if required.

IEM Kolkata: Review

There is a placement cell which constantly helps to revise our curriculum in pace with what is most needed for our placements. The Average package for CSE 4 year B. Tech on campus is 5.5 lpa and the median package for the same is 3 to 4 lpa.
There are conferences being held on various topics of mathematics, Computer science, biomedical engineering, English etc. Fests such as the techno-management fest and the cultural fest also happen where students come and enjoy themselves together.
One of the things that stood out to me was their inclusion of extra subjects in the curriculum from the beginning of the 1st semester only like aptitude, logical reasoning, Soft Skills and even at times topics related to History, Political Science.

The fee for our semester is 85000 and 160000 per year. Some hikes have been there. Around 4 years ago the fees for 4 year B.Tech course was 100000 per year. On admission they will take 1,00,000 (admission fees) and 5000/- for registration. Ftom then onwards per semester it will be 85000/- (given the fact they do not increase the fees). Then you have to buy the unifrom which will be around 6500/- and books which will be 8000/-. Now let me tell you, it was the biggest scam that they did. 8000/- for books when you won't even open the books for the whole year and the fact that every book is already in the library. So if possible just don't buy the books. No such scholarship is given as far as I know but financial aid is definitely given. If a specific criteria is met your entire semester fees is also paid by the college. But I don't quite know the criteria. Sorry for that.

The actual truth

The fee structure of this course is 85000 per sem.Students from poor families and those who are not able to pay the fees are given scholarships after verification. Student's from West Bengal can get scholarships easily

Honest opinion about the college

The structured and well mannered curriculum of all the semesters. The way they are treating the placements as priority before everything.

Student Snaps:

In my batch the per semester fees is 75000 and is variable in every batch and the payment of Rs. 1200 is extra chargeable for exam fee every Semester. The students of west Bengal got the scholarship from the college according to their financial condition.

A good placement college lacking student life

Fees is affordable as a private college but this comes at the cost of infrastructure. State Government scholarships were available for West Bengal students. The placement was better than most private colleges of WB. But still improvement can be there as placements above 7 lpa + is less

Real life experience

The fees of IEM Kolkata are so much more affordable. At the time when I take the admission the fee per semester was 65k but now it is 75k per semester. There is also a scholarship opportunity. The placement of the college is quite decent. There will be on and off-campus placement opportunities.
