Remarks
I got admission to IEM, Kolkata by opting for Counselling via WBJEE rank. There were 3 rounds of counselling. I had a rank of 3.5k and I got my seat in 2nd round of counselling. On admission day, I went to the college in Aashram Campus and provided the provisional seat allotment letter and my rank certificate. Also, they asked for a xerox of class 12th and 10th mark sheets. It was a smooth process overall without having to face any hassle or harassment.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose the course because, from an early age, I always inclined PCB's, microcontrollers, VLSI etc. The study environment in the college was superb. The faculty: student ratio was 1:30, which was really good as this provided us with the students to interact more with the faculty and clear our doubts at regular intervals. The faculty was very qualified. Most of the faculty were alumni of IIT's and NIT. Some of the professors also possessed a PhD from distinct universities. The teaching method was very methodical. And, there were 2 mid sems before every semester exam, and these mid-sem exams generally prepared us for the semester exams.
Internships Opportunities
The internship opportunities are quite limited in the college. There are internship opportunities in domains like VLSI, Industrial Engineering, Robotics etc. Several companies prefer taking students undergoing workshops and such internships from within the college.
Placement Experience
The placements are really good in the college. The placement percentage in the college is around 80-90%. From the 6th semester onwards, the students become eligible for placements. The companies that visit the college are mainly IT companies. Most of the students actually get placed in mass-recruiting IT companies. The companies that usually visit the campus are TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, IBM, Adobe, DXCorr, Tech Mahindra etc.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure is quite reasonable when it comes to the cost to study in private colleges. During my college days, the average semester fees were 40,000 INR. This would stay the same throughout the tenure of the whole course, i.e 8 semesters. The fee hike policy is around 10%-15% every year for an incoming new batch. The scholarship was provided to meritorious students from the poor family background. Such students could waive off around 50% of their fees by applying under TFW(Tuition Fee Waiver).
Campus Life
Life at the campus was good. There was a strict discipline that students had to abide by. There's an annual tech fest called Innovation, in which several students participate every year and win exciting cash prizes and goodies. The college library had books for all semesters. So, I personally didn't buy any books whatsoever during the whole course. The amenities in the classroom were mediocre. The campus was a bit congested as it had only three buildings which could accommodate a very limited number of sports only like volleyball, badminton. There was a scope of several indoor games like carrom, table-tennis, Karate etc. There were tech clubs, literary clubs, and other co-curricular clubs.
