Should I take CSE in KIIT or IEM, Kolkata?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : July 25th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I have a friend who scored a rank of 1536 in KIITEE and chose CSE in KIIT while another who got a rank of 4158 in WBJEE and went got IEM ECE.

What I mean is that the institute does not matter but it’s your capability and skills that determine your success rate. I find judging colleges based on placements very silly. 

So, if your ultimate goal is BTech only then take any one between IEM and KIIT depending on your financial background but if you are planning to pursue higher education, IEM will help you save money that can later be used for higher studies.

How do I choose between KGEC, JGEC and IEM Kolkata?

NS
Niharika Samaddar Posted On : February 17th, 2021
Studied at Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (2011)

It all depends on the candidate’s decision. What may seem productive for him might fall flat for others.

Here pointing few specifications which might help you choose:

  • IEM is a Private engineering College whereas; KGEC and JGEC are government owned colleges.
  • Annual Tuition fees are far less for both the government colleges and IEM being a private institute holds higher fees and increases cost of living.
  • Being government owned colleges (KGEC, JGEC), the student from financially weaker section is subjected to stipend, half-fees and full fees consideration.
  • If we take a look at the campus location, IEM is situated in sector-V, in the crux of the IT revolution which began at Kolkata. Whereas, KGEC, JGEC have their own campus located outside of the main city.

Categories

KGEC

JGEC

IEM Kolkata

Course Fee

33.6K - 1.06 lakh

37.27K - 1.11 lakh

5.83 lakh

Placement Percentage

70-80%

90-95%

Highest CTC

Average CTC

4 LPA

4-4.5 LPA

5-6 LPA

Recruiting Companies

TCS, Microsoft, Google

TCS, IBM, DVC, Infosys

TCS, Capgemini, Wipro, Sap Labs

IEM being a private institution is strict with its studies. But, being government colleges students can see little slack on education in KGEC and JGEC.

If campus recruitment is the sole criterion, then IEM stands out with a virtuous record. Whereas KGEC and JGEC in can see slack in core branches recruitment.

IEM being situated in the heart of the city’s IT sector, all the companies take interest to see the students from IEM. KGEC and JGEC located outside the main city.

If you compare KGEC with JGEC, KGEC is the way to go. KGEC has a better ratio of placements, infrastructure, facilities, and faculty than JGEC.

Choose KGEC if you want to study in any core department. Otherwise you can choose between JGEC and IEM for other departments. If you are looking for government jobs, KGEC is the one. Choose KGEC without hesitation. If you don’t get a chance to get into KGEC go for JGEC as both being government colleges gives less burden of fees and expenses.

Finally, it’s up to you to choose any one among the three engineering colleges. Based on the parameter, it drives your decision. My suggestion would be go for KGEC and if not then, JGEC over IEM.

How is IEM CSE? How are the placements and faculties?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : June 23rd, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The placement scenario for IEM CSE can be evaluated on the basis of placement percentage and average or median salary. IEM Kolkata maintains a good placement record over the years and every year many students get placed through its efficient placement drive. IES placements 2021 statistics are mentioned IMT in the table below

Total graduating students

1016

Number of students placed

813

Number of students opted out

91

Median salary

INR 10.50 LPA

The faculty is a mixed pool, some extremely good while some very inefficient. Most students prefer self-studying or seeking help from seniors rather than approaching professors.

The fees are a bit higher than government colleges like MAKAUT Main, Ceramic Tech, Kalyani Govt, etc. IEM first-year fees for the BTech program are ?1.78 Lakhs. The high fees do not translate to high-paying jobs here so the ROI will be very low. 

Some other minor flaws are the lack of greenery and the uniform compulsion. 

Here, everything depends on your skills and dedication. So adopt a positive mindset, and study well so that you can clear entrances like GATE, GRE, CAT, or GMAT. You cannot be solely dependent on college for shaping your career!

Here is a brief overview of the IT program offered by the institutes.

Does any student of IEM regret taking admission in IEM instead of Heritage Institute of Technology or the other way round?

SD
Sayandeep Dutta Posted On : September 17th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering ,Institute of Engineering and Management (2020)

For the first two years of your college life, you may regret not joining IEM, in the last two years this will not matter much. 

  • IEM is also quite strict. According to my friends at the institute, you are not allowed to use cell phones inside classrooms. If a student is absent for two consecutive days, then his/her parents (or guardians) are called for inquiry purposes. The same situation would arise if you do not secure good marks in your examinations. 
  • According to my IEM friends, the teacher-student interaction is not as open and there is an unspoken barrier between them. HIT, on the other hand, has helpful teachers in these areas. If you have any questions, you can contact them at any moment, including over the phone. Teachers in HIT also assist you in developing your research interests. They will motivate you to study even for topics that are not included in the curriculum but are relevant to it. 
  • IEM is unquestionably better than HIT when it comes to campus placements as per the records of the past few years. Many students get the opportunity to appear for the recruitment process of core companies. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at HIT and IEM were 16 LPA and 72 LPA respectively. 

However, whether you select CSE or IT, I recommend that you go for HIT because the placement percent is the same in both institutions for IT-related streams, but the faculty of CSE and IT at HIT will provide you with better support and encouragement.
