It is upto the students to grab the opportunities that the college provides.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs are good. College library is really excellent. The overall quality of college infrastructure is decent, with a proper amount of capacity. The food in the canteen is also very good. Academic wise it's good. IEM is in the centre of IT hub in Kolkata.

Students say that the faculty is knowledgeable, helpful, and well-qualified.
Placements: Many IEM Kolkata students get multiple placement offers. The highest placement offer from IEM Group was INR 40 LPA. IEM Kolkata has a good placement record, with top recruiting companies including TCS, CTS, Accenture, LTI Mindtree, Capgemini, and Infosys.
Infrastructure: It was hell for us. The food they served to us is unhealthy , too oily and tasteless. We have to order food from outside most probably every day, even if we complain to the authorities; they don't listen to us . And the worst part is the hostel entry time; it's 6:30 pm . And we have to pay a huge amount of money but the facility we get is like nothing; the wifi is too slow and we only get 4 GB per month and the maximum time wifi is not working. Overall, the IEM hostel life is worst.
Faculty: Most of the faculties and senior professors are helpful, especially while they provide notes in their every lecture, and even sometimes we also have Google Classroom, where several assignments and MCA programs help students develop essential skills like analytical, logical, technical, communication, and organizational skills.
Other: There are many job opportunities for MCA graduates, including in software development, computer applications, and other IT roles. MCA programs help students develop essential skills like analytical, logical, technical, communication, and organizational skills.
