Is PESIT South Bangalore better than IEM Kolkata?

TB
Trish Banerjee Posted On : July 17th, 2021
B.Tech in ECE Department at Institute of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

Having friends at IEM Kolkata, I can say that this question is similar to the debate between IT and CS.

  1. As a student of IEM, you will find the professors striving diligently for you. Growth in IT is determined by two things - how you make the most of the opportunities you are getting and how much effort you are willing to put in.
  2. You will get exposure to so many opportunities due to the presence of a number of organizations around you, PESIT would be an efficient choice.

My friend got PESIT but did not opt for it, instead, he went for IEM. If he had chosen PESIT, he would have to push himself all the time to achieve his goals.

If you get a chance to join top institutes, do your research and opt for the very best. You will be the one to spend 4 years learning that particular subject. In this case, both IIIT Nagpur and IEM Kolkata are good colleges.

Having known people studying in both IIIT Nagpur and IEM, I can say that IIIT Nagpur was recently established whereas IEM is quite older and has enough experience as an educational institution.

  • It won’t be reliable to take admission in IIIT Nagpur as it is new. Though it possesses a good faculty and placement record.
  • You can take CS at IEM confidently as the faculty is well experienced and possess relevant qualifications.
  • Besides, IEM is situated in one of the biggest IT hubs of east India.
