My college IEM

I would like to praise my college management as the college is very much disciplined. Our director sir is very caring. The college has good library facility,most of the faculties teach well and computer labs have sufficient amount of computers. Also it has a very strong placement cell. However my college lagged in 2 things. The 1st thing is the computer lab faculties were not good enough and 2nd is the college did not take any responsibility for our internship. We had to arrange it in our own.

I appeared for WB JEE 2002 and my rank was 2232. I wanted to study computer science and as per my rank I had option to choose any of the 3 good colleges - IEM, techno india and heritage institute. But I chose IEM as I heard from different sources that campus recruitment is very good there.

The course was a full time B.Tech in CSE. The course was for 4 years and each year was divided in 2 semesters. The 1st year was for having a general idea on different engineering like civil,mechanical,electronics,etc. And few other subjects like Physics,Chemistry,Mathematics,English,etc. The next 3 years were totally focused on Computer Science subjects like - Database management,Operating system, Computer Architecture,Automata,compiler design,different programming languages like java,c,etc. and only few electronics engineering oriented subjects like- digital electronics,microprocessor etc.

No stipend was offered. No companies came for our training programme. The students arranged it from outside in their own and some people who had good channels could manage to do their internship through company like TCS,CTS,etc.

The placement opportunity was excellent. The companies like Tcs,CTS,wipro,connectiva, Siemens,Shore Consultancy and IBM came for campus recruitment. Also IEM college arranged some pool campuses for us like -HCL,Infosys and few more. They all were offerinf packages in 2lakh to 3 lakh range per annum. I got job in Siemens and my package was 3 lakh.

Only one festival per year the college used to arrange and that was very enjoying. In one year we brought cactus band and it was a real good experience. The event used to continue for 3 days every year.

I did not avail any loan facility.But I think there is a United bank branch in the ground floor of our main college campus which provides loan facility. So far I know no scholarship facility is available in my college.

The college campus is very sparsed. The distance between the main and other campus was atleast 300 mtr. The main campus is small in the sense that the building comprises 70 percent of the main campus. There was a small ground. No facilities were there for indoor games and I never saw any person to play any outdoor games. Actually almost all thw students were day scholar and after college got completed everybody use to rush for going back home. The male and female ratio in the college was around 7:3.

I did not avail hostel facility but I know that my college did not have a good hostel facility. In our year only 4 students availed that.

Actually our college director sir did not allow any ragging. So that is why interaction with college seniors were very less. However few of our college seniors and I were daily commuters from VIP road keshtopur region and had some chance to interact with them. They were very helpful and whenever I required any help, they were with me. I can remember one day I forgot to bring my purse and had no money to reavh college and I was getting very late for the college and no option to come back home. At that time one of my seniors helped me to reach college. I can never forget this incident in my lifetime.

There were 6 subjects in each semester and we had 2 short term exams before final exam in each semester. In my opinion those 2 short term exams were very effective for preparation of semester exam. The marks of those short term exams were added in semeater exam.

Apart from few bad faculties most of them were very good. They had good underatansing of the respective subjects they taught, like Debika mam for Database management and operating system and Biswajoy sir for digital,microprocessor and compiler design were really awesome.
