Hence, if students have a good JEE score and are eligible to get into IIEST, it would be advisable to do so instead of choosing a private institution such as IEM- based on the factors mentioned above.
Your JELET rank should be under 1000. You can easily achieve that as the exam is not very tough and most of the questions are from the basics of 11th and 12th. So all the questions should be easy.
Also if you want to practice and study for the exams you can refer to Sourav sir’s classes where all the concepts are being taught in a beautiful way and solutions and study materials are also provided for better preparation for the exam.
After getting admission in this college, you will get many facilities and benefits from the college which will make you fall in love with this college and studying here will be fun and enjoyable. As the faculty is experienced and knowledgeable, learning new things and understanding new concepts will get much easier.
IEM Kolkata faculties are good. The professors of the institute are well-experienced and cooperative. You can get their help in any doubt you have. The faculty base of IEM includes notable personalities like Prof. Kamakhya Prasad Ghatak. He is quite popular among students.
Compared to other private engineering institutes in West Bengal, IEM Kolkata has a better faculty base.
IEM is best for its non-core (CSE/IT/ETC/ECE) placements comparatively that of core ones (CIVIL/MECHANICAL/ ELECTRICAL). Situated in the heart of the IT sector business area the companies visiting the campus for recruitment are mainly software companies.
The IT sector has seen a slump, the core placement doesn’t reach up to the mark. But, if you do choose electrical you may have an extra opportunity to sit in both the core and non-core.
But choosing a branch totally depends upon you. If you really like CS or IT there is no reason to not to choose IEM; or any other branch you like. After all, it’s you who is going to adapt the particular field and enhance yourself in it in four years of time.
I sincerely hope you take the right decision and choose the branch which is best for you and not go with the flow and take the branch which stats say is the best branch in IEM.
As I know some people from these institutes you mentioned above, it will be clearer to base their ideas upon the rankings on different factors.
