Is PESIT South Bangalore better than IEM Kolkata?
Having friends at IEM Kolkata, I can say that this question is similar to the debate between IT and CS.
- As a student of IEM, you will find the professors striving diligently for you. Growth in IT is determined by two things - how you make the most of the opportunities you are getting and how much effort you are willing to put in.
- You will get exposure to so many opportunities due to the presence of a number of organizations around you, PESIT would be an efficient choice.
My friend got PESIT but did not opt for it, instead, he went for IEM. If he had chosen PESIT, he would have to push himself all the time to achieve his goals.

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.

How are the placements at IEM Kolkata?
Well as far as mh knowledge students get to placements from 6th semester itself . Well there are placement classes from 3rd semester itself . The placement track record of the college is quite good with most year about 90% gets placed with good companies comming like Deloitte, EY GDS , JP MORGAN, Oracle , offering high amount of placement offers like around 20+ lpa . Well I am not sure about my plans maybe if the palacement is good I'll take it or will be preparing for GATE (Whose courses are also provided from college .)
How is the faculty at IEM Kolkata?
Well there are separate facilities for every subjects , which aate again divided into departments . Faculties are cooperative, friendly and will help you find good amount of opportunities. You can approach them anytime and they would be there to help you out (mind I say mostly , not all ) . Well there are a lot of facilities who are definitely like the best , and their presence doesn't make you feel like they have burdened you . You would be comfortable around them and gheg would be so helpful . Well there are definitely faculties who will treat you like you know nothing and they are the persons with most knowledge, though I won't take the names but there are quite a few of them .
How is the campus life at IEM Kolkata?
Well I want to be honest here , there are a quite good number of fests going around the campus , but the campus size is definitely very small and the events do not happen big due to this reason . But the efforts of facilities, seniors to still carry on the event in the best way possible is actually appreciable . Talking about the library , it is air conditioned, has working computers for self study is accessible for everyone and 24/7 usable , but the books are very much limited to the course books . The classrooms do have mic , projector and computers , but sometimes they just don't work . Look for sports and extracurricular activities, there is not much space to play on campus , infact there are no grounds . But there are sports events happening quite a lot time , but due to lack of space they become difficult to play . Yeah definately there are clubs run bg the students , but not much active excluding one or two , where you have to get through and get posts through politics and if you are known to seniors .
How are the hostels at IEM Kolkata?
