IEM Kolkata (IEM Saltlake) Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The curriculum is pretty relevant and really let's you choose from IT or Core based on your interest. I have had programming, DSA, cloud computing, ML and IOT that helped me understand my field of interest that was IT. We also had Signal and Systems, Microcontroller, Control systems, Digital Electronics that allowed few of my friends to understand they are more interested into the Electronics side whereas subjects like Machines, Power System, Industrial Electrical System that allowed few of my friends to understand they are interested into the core electrical field. Added to that there are some unnecessary courses, I think removing them would make it easier tbh. And i don't know including GATE into curriculum in 3rd and 4th year makes no sense, cause a lot of us didn't even want to pursue that, but all they said was we would regret not even attempting GATE.

IEM is the best private college in West Bengal in terms of placement opportunities. even at the time of recession, many students got multiple offers from MNCs like TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, IBM, Capgemini, ITC Infotech, Oracle, and many others. Many students opted for a master's abroad and pursued Mtech or MBA from IITs and IIMs.

The training methods are industry based and well suited for an it job or for any further government exams. The difficulty level is fair enough for an engineering student. The practise of how companies conduct their hiring and simulations make it to the point overall.

The course curriculum is good. But I would suggest that their are most subjects which are never useful in our life. There are subjects which are beneficial too. The course curriculum could have implemented some subjects related to aptitude and real world problem solving. The exams taken here are very frequent which includes 4 mid semester and 2 semesters in a year with a medium to hard difficulty level.

From the third semester, students become eligible for the campus placements. Companies like TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, and Oracle visit our college. My plan is to get a good campus placement and then after a few years pursue M.Tech.

Placement are good and best in West Bengal among private Most people get placed although the average package lies between 5.5-6 lacs Oracle and Adobe and PWC hires Candidates at a really good package Above 7.5-18 lpa

The placements are decent. The highest package for B.Tech CSE was 22 lpa (all candidates) and 40 lpa (reserved for women) . Apart from that average package is 5.5 lpa and median is 3.5 lpa. Students are eligible for campus placements from 7th semester. Many renowned companies come in our campus like TCS, PWC, Cognizant, Capgemini. Last year Oracle made an offer of 18 lpa to many of our seniors. Most of the students getting placed have a cgpa of 8.7 and above. Apart from that many students have backup plans and also go for off campus placements. I will personally also try to grab an off campus placement .

Before 2023 the placement is upto 90 percent but in 2024 due to ressesion, the placement is reduce to 65-70 percent that is good with respect to other colleges. There are 30-40 company visited every year in our college. Most of the student would preferr placement (on campus) some are opted for gov. Jobs or some are for higher studies. highest package is around 13-14LPA and average package is 5lpa . My plan is to take a job in IT sector.

After 3rd year students become eligible for campus placements. The highest package is 16-20lpa with average being around 5lpa. Different companies come with mass recruiters and distinguished companies offering various job position Almost all students are placed bt mtech after btech is also a good option to choose

Its good comparing to other tire 2/3 colleges. I was placed in an IT company with 6.25 lakh package and all my batchmate secured placement as developer or analyst. Highest packages were from big companies like adobe, amazon, lexmark, oracle, delloite. 90% placement record. I have worked in the company I was placed then moved on for MBA.
