Institute of Engineering and Management Koraput Answered Questions

It will be very difficult to get computer Science engineering with this rank. But, you will get information technology for sure with this rank. Placement for both computer Science engineering and information technology are similar, even electronics and communication engineering is also good and will be easily available with this rank. So, while filling the counselling form select CSE, IT, ECE in the same sequence. If you are 100% determined for computer Science engineering, then apply for techno India salt lake, Haldia, Heritage also at the time of counselling.

Hi Shreya,
IEM Kolkata is a state level private college under MAKAUT (WBUT). The college is not having a very good infrastructure. There is only one building besides main road. Therefore, there is no such campus which everyone dreams for. There is no canteens as well, you need to be dependent on the road side food which are extremely unhygienic. You are not allowed in the library during lecture hours. Library is not very good or spacious as the number of students available in the college.
The placement for CSE, IT, ECE is average and low paying IT companies like TCS, Wipro and Infosys visit the campus for recruitment. Although not every student get placement in those recruitment. College will conduct placement by merging UEM, Kolkata (their private university, which is not good), which increases the competition at the time of placement. Few years before, there was no such university, so placement of IEM only was good in the TCS, Wipro, Infosys. But now, the scenario is very bad. In most of the branches only 30-40% students are placed yet. But condition of CSE and IT is good as 65-75% students are placed including the starting packages from 1.8 LPA (means 13-15k per month salary).
The professors are average (that is why they are here in the private college) and you cannot expect too much from them.
The college is having a very hectic rules and regulations, which is beyond tolerable. You need to be in discipline in places where it is not required at all. You need to wear those uniforms (school dress) throughout four years of your engineering. If college timing is at 9:00 am, then you will be not allowed to enter the college at 9:01 am. Now you can imagine the frustration, that you are waking up in the morning for college and for that one minute you will be losing your whole day. On that particular day, you will be not allowed for any practicals or lectures, which don't happen in any colleges of India.
If you categorise all the colleges of the country in three groups, then :
1) Class 1: Top colleges like IITs, top order NITs, BITS Pilani, etc.
2) Class 2: nits and government engineering colleges and private colleges of national reputation like VIT Vellore, RVC, MS Ramaiah, PESIT, etc.
3) Class 3 : private colleges like IEM, Techno India, Haldia, Heritage, etc.
No good companies visit in class 3 or tier 3 colleges.
If you are not getting any seat in a good colleges, then only go for this college.

Hi Ajay,
IEM is a private college, so there is no problem if you are from outside. As per your rank in WBJEE, you will easily get information technology in this college. Computer science engineering might be possible in spot or the last round of the counselling, but information technology is sure in first round itself. If you are determined for CSE, then you can go for Techno India Salt Lake, Haldia, Heritage, etc.

The fees for BCA in IEM is around INR. 3 lakhs (for three years). You need not to pay all this amount in one time. You will be paying your fees semester wise, which will be around INR. 50,000 per semester.
To prepare for the entrance exam, you should solve all the previous year problems. It is available in the market and you can purchase it from College Street.
Best of luck.

Hi abantika, As per your rank, it will be really difficult to get a seat in any branches at iem. Although you may get a seat electrical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, mechanical engineering in last round or spot round admission. But, you will easily get a seat in the branches like information technology, electronics and communications engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering etc. In other colleges like techno india, haldia institute of technology, heritage, ASANSOL engineering college, meghnad saha institute of technology etc. Best of luck.
