UEM Kolkata has been the highlight of negative views lately and here are the reasons:
These are some of the reasons why some students will be skeptical about joining UEM Kolkata. Talk to the students presently studying there as they can only provide you with the exact information. Try visiting the institute beforehand and decide for yourself.
From the options given above, none of them are good. UEM Kolkata does not have good management at all. You will not find any good labs here. As far as ADAMAS is concerned, there is not much information available about it but my friends have said that is not that good either.
My suggestion to you would be to opt for computer science at either of these colleges. This is because pursuing core streams from either of these colleges will be of no help to you at all.
If you end up doing CSE, you can secure a job at a top MNC or IT firm. Due to the demand of CSE and IT graduates nowadays, there are more chances to get a job here, than in any core industry.

If you are looking for good labs at these colleges for core subjects, they will not be available to you. As a student, you will not be satisfied with this and the faculty is not that good either. You can opt for computer science engineering or eventually just go for Honors.
UEM Kolkata has hostel facilities but it is not within the boundary of the campus. There are two separate hostels for boys and girls. The boys’ hostel is approximately 1 km away from the campus and the girls’ hostel is around 10 km.
The hostel is costly as compared to the other PG and private hostels. The food is also not so good and often repeats the same meals twice a day. Basic amenities are provided in the hostel but they also lack certain facilities like providing transportation to the campus. There are quite a number of problems with the hostel such as
Hope this gives you an idea about the hostel accommodation provided by UEM Kolkata.
I have a few friends at the Haldia Institute of Technology and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest you to look for other options. Having a college campus in Kolkata will be advantageous for you.
You can get IT in Techno India salt-lake main campus. If you don’t get Techno you can go for CSE in B.P. Poddar, RCC or St. Thomas, or any other college. Follow previous year trends of opening and closing ranks of the college and make a choice accordingly.
Choosing the University of Engineering and Management (UEM), Kolkata can be risky because it is newly established. Even though it is under the banner of IEM, you can’t be certain about placements. Going by the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 4 LPA.

Yes, UEM Kolkata is indeed strict in terms of your outer appearance. These may include a white sleeve shirt with UEM emblem, grey trousers, formal leather shoes, a tie, and an ID card. All of these are a must for every university student and member.
If you miss one of these things, the security officers will return you home from the main gate itself. You cannot even enter without a uniform on vacations whether you are working at the management office or library.
Make sure that you are properly dressed and especially don’t forget or lose your ID card. Even if you lost it then you will have to submit another application and you might not be accepted by the guards inside.
