How is the campusing at UEM Kolkata?

PC
Paramita Chatterjee Posted On : June 18th, 2021
M.Tech in Biotechnology and Biochemicals Engineering at IIT Kharagpur (2019)

You cannot have one actual "campusing" experience at UEM Kolkata, as the institute is barely two years old so far.

On top of that, here's the thing- you have to undergo severely strict rules here at UEM.

  • Your attendance matters and is calculated with each subject. 75-80% attendance in each subject is compulsory. You have to be present at the reporting time, otherwise, you won't be allowed to enter.
  • Bunking is considered something extremely critical. Like attendance, it is also calculated subject-wise.
  • If you have bunked 6 classes one after another, your parents would be informed by 6 messages, for each class.
  • You have to attend assemblies. Your attendance at assemblies is mandatory.
  • All of your enjoyment plans shall be executed outside the university. And even there you have to make sure you are disciplined.

Since UEM Kolkata works under the supervision and advice of IEM group, your placements would be conducted along with IEM. Competing with IEM students already states how intense the competition would be.

Studied Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science at University of Engineering and Management, Kolk

The overall fee structure in UEM Kolkata keeps changing. But, there are no major modifications to it over the last few years. 

  • For the 2016-20 batches, the fee per semester was Rs. 60,000. Therefore, the total fee would be Rs. 1.2 Lakhs annual fees.
  • During admission, you will need to pay an additional admission fee of Rs. 12,000. So, the first-semester fee is Rs. 72,000 combined together, which the students need to pay before their admission to the institute.
  • There is an examination fee of Rs. 1000, which needs to be paid before semester exams. For the first semester, the exam fee is Rs. 1400.
  • UEM organizes several technical and professional workshops, and almost all of them are paid. The fee for such workshops varies from Rs. 500-1500, depending on the type and duration of the workshop. But, these are entirely optional. The management will not force you to participate. 
  • Previously, the 2015-19 batches had a semester fee of Rs. 37,000, and so Rs. 74,000 annually. All other fees, i.e.-exam fees, workshop fees, etc, were the same for those batches too.

For more classified details regarding the present fee structure, you can contact the IEM/UEM group via phone calls. The numbers are available on their website.
