Honest opinion on IEM saltlake/Newtown

The curriculum is set in a standard form. According to me is focused more into theoretical aspect rather than practical knowledgeable. Also the academic pressure is so intense their is no time for the students in pursuing their hobbies. The university is mostly known for cse department but must of the teachers who teach programming are unskilled.

The placement of our campus is mid. Before entering the college their will be a lot of myth and the placements will be more glorified. But overall it's average. A lot of students recieve package above 50 lakhs but those are mostly gained off campus. On campus placements vary from 5 to 8 lakhs per annum.

Fir the 4 year of btech in cse fees I need to pay 9 lakhs in total . Fees for other courses are also same. The fees has to be paid by semester terms. Other then the actual fees 1500 rupees has to be deposited before each semester exams. Their is no scholarship or quota

Their are a lot of clubs. But the fests are not that great. 2-3 big fests take place per year. Their is no sports no ground. The clubs are not that active. Overall it's not that great experience for me.

I did apply to a lot of colleges like vit, mit, bits Pilani etc. But as I am from biology field hence I didn't get into any of the main campuses. Hence I chose iem as it was better location wise and comparatively had better placement opportunities.

Most of the faculties in our college are pass outs from IIT and few from other respectable colleges like jadavpur university. The professors have great knowledge and good experience. They are approachable and ready to solve your daubts. I personally liked Riya ma'am who is our English teacher. Their are also few teachers who lack teaching skills a lot. For eg our electrical ma'am who is also our class teacher. Their 2 semester is a year. Before each semester you need to give mid 1 practical, mid 1 theory, mid 2 practical, mid 2 theory, sessional papers. Every exam that happens in our college is set into difficult level and the semester papers come from IIT.

The college is closed by 5.30 after which students go back to their respective places and can do whatever they want. But mostly their are alot assignments given which have to completed and otherwise their will be exams going on.
