What Students Say
Likes
- I absolutely love their way of teaching, not only do they teach main course subjects but also provides thorough guidance for aptitude subjects. And thus they prepare you for both placement aptitude round and other competitive exams.
- No doubt IEM is one of the best college in terms of placement. They prepare the candidates with their full efforts and there is no discrimination. They provide almost equal effort for each and every student.
- There is absolutely no scene of ragging. Everyone is under strict supervision so there is no such thing like ragging in IEM. And everyone cooperates well.
Dislikes
- They make you buy books( only for first year). Like they would literally almost force you. But the money for the books are too high. You can get them online at a much lower price. This system was recently started from 2023 batch.
- A bit too strict on terms of attendance. But you won't regret it after you get placed.
Course Curriculum Overview
There is absolutely no complaint regarding course or curriculum. IEM makes sure that the students learn about each and every necessary topics of the course and also makes sure they learn it's real life applicability. With each year the difficulty level rises as usual. But they guide well so it's not much of a problem. There are total 6 exams in a academic year. Before each semester there are two mid terms. This makes the students well prepared before the semester and hence everyone scores well in the semester exams.
Internships Opportunities
IEM organises various seminars for free. Many experts from reputed organizations come there. And students if interested can contact them further for internship (once you get admitted you'll understand) . They take an amount for further training and then guarantees internship to students. There are several schemes like this. And the students would come across plenty of such organisations.
Placement Experience
After completion of 4th semester they start preparing the students for placement. They provide placement classes during which students are trained to sit in their placements. Well recognised companies come such as Deloitte, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, SAP labs etc. The package varies from time to time. But average package is 4-7LPA. A well amount of students get placed. IEM is well recognised for its placement opportunities.
Fees and Financial Aid
The current (2023 batch) fees is 60k per semester. During admission they take extra 2k as admission charges. Other than that during registration they charge a fee and also before each semester there is a exam fee which is around 1.2k Fees structure and amount may vary with time.
Campus Life
There a a huge number of events taking place all year through. One of the biggest fest is Smart Maker's Festival. And there are various clubs such as art club and sports club. This would help students to get their MAR points. And also it's a break from the studies.
Admission
For being eligible for BCA at IEM Kolkata one must include Maths/IP/Computer Science/ any computer related subject in their +2. One can get the admission form online or they can directly contact the college. There's no complexity of admission in IEM. But I'd suggest to not buy books from college, cause one can get the same books at a much lower rate online
Faculty
There are adequate faculties provided for each subject. Most of them teach extremely well and good. They provide us a doubt clearing time after class hours till 5pm. Also there is a mentorship class where student can inform their issues to the respective mentors. However in some cases in senior classes they could have provided a bit better faculties but still it's manageable.
