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.

What are the expected placement opportunities at UEM Kolkata in CSE for a higher mediocre student but ready to take up the hard work?

MS
Mayukh Sengupta Posted On : July 8th, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science at University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

UEM Kolkata has a good placement record. Many reputed companies like Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Turbot, and others often participate during the placement drive, offering the highest package up to INR 72 LPA. You will need a CGPA of at least 6.5 to appear in the interviews.

Here are a few tips from my friends at the institute which may be helpful.

  • First, you should identify your interest in a particular branch and then do internships or short-term courses related to that. This can help you immensely in building your skills, even during the placements, and gives a good impression in front of the interviewers.
  • You should also look for job opportunities on your own. If you manage to get a job even if it pays a little less. You will have a backup.

Hope this helps.
