- The way it is portrayed as if it is at par with IITs which is far from the reality, campus area size and fests, exposure.
Course Curriculum Overview
I saw a bright future and scope in CSE-AI, both in terms of job and research, thereby opting for it. Faculty: The student ratio is about 1:5 as there are dedicated mentors for every 5-student group. Faculties are well qualified and knowledgable in their domain and never miss a class but mostly focus on exam-oriented teaching. There are two midsemester and one endsemester exams every semester. It would not be a difficult task to score well if classes are regularly followed. Attendance is a criterion to be allowed to appear for exams.
Placement Experience
Campus placements are offered around the 6th semester onwards. TCS, Wipro, IBM, Oracle and a lot of reputed companies visit the campus for recruitment and 100% placement is not a myth as our curriculum is designed to include placement and competitive-oriented studies from the 1st semester itself. The average package tends to touch 5lacs per annum and the highest goes up to 82 lacs per annum for a software engineer at Google London. Personally, I am planning to get an MS after my B Tech degree.
Fees and Financial Aid
The normal course fee in 2022 was INR 623000 for 4 years including admission fees. There is a TFW quota available for eligible students, during admission. Moreover, there is an IEM Alumni Scholarship for needy and deserving students every semester. I applied for it and received a 50% fee waiver during my 4th semester which enabled me to continue my studies without disruption. I am immensely grateful to the fund for this which supports hundreds of students each year with financial assistance on the basis of severity of their crisis and academic performance.
Campus Life
The library has a lot of books, magazines, Wi-Fi connectivity and computers, open 24 hours but classrooms are not up to the mark. We are provided with a lot of online resources like the digital library, LinkedIn learning premium, Matlab, LT Spice, Microsoft student licenses, etc. for free. A Plethora of events happen almost every week: cultural, sports, techfests. However, the amount of open area on campus is too small to carry out a proper cultural fest. The annual tech-fest, Innovacion, besides Sytron, is interesting though and has engaging events spanning multiple days. You can expect any social club that is present at an engineering college, ranging from music, and dance through graphics design and quizzing, etc. and they are all quite active, student-run.
Admission
I took admission via my WBJEE rank of 9.3k and got admitted to the Electronics and Telecommunication course in the mop-up round. In 2nd year I changed my stream to CSE-AI on the basis of my first year academic performance. The admission process takes place through the WBJEE counselling portal and is not hectic at all. Now there is also an exam conducted by IEM called IEMJEE for admission.
