The University of Engineering and Management (UEM) Kolkata offers a mixed faculty experience, with some supportive teachers and others perceived as harsh. Notable faculty include Ruma, while Subhashis Rana and the Dean receive criticism. The institution conducts 2-3 semester and 4-6 mid-term exams annually, often resulting in backlogs. Despite the challenging exams and less relevant curriculum, a sufficient faculty-to-student ratio aids in exam preparation. Students become eligible for placements by the 6th or 7th semester, with companies like TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, Amazon, and IBM visiting for recruitment.
The highest on-campus placement package is 40 LPA, and off-campus reaches 72 LPA. Average on-campus packages range from 3 LPA to 7.5 LPA, and placement rates have declined from 100% to 40-80%. Internship opportunities with companies like Nestle and Microsoft are also available. The college's fee structure includes a tuition fee of Rs. 85,000 per semester and an admission fee of Rs. 1,10,000, totaling approximately Rs. 7,05,000 to Rs. 8,00,000 over four years. Scholarships are offered based on entrance exams, academic performance, and merit, including the Swami Vivekananda Scholarship with a Rs. 60,000 annual benefit and discounts of up to Rs. 20,000 for high achievers.
Some scholarships offer 100% tuition fee waivers for top students and outstanding sports participants. The college provides student credit card loans to help with fees, but annual fee increments of Rs. 15,000 should be expected.
