My elder brother is an alumnus of UEM Kolkata. The timings are not exactly flexible.
You can also consult for choosing one shift in case you are not comfortable with the other shift. A lot of students managed to get their shifts changed so take it with a grain of salt.
The second shift is the one where my brother was because there would be no stress of being late for class, less tension for submission of assignments. The only thing that will “tire” you will be the excursions.
The institute offers commendable infrastructural facilities and quality education to the students which is why so many students choose this college for pursuing engineering and management.
