What are some do's and dont's at IEM Kolkata ?

My sister graduated from IEM Kolkata in June 2016 and she is now working as a consultant at KPMG. She shared some of her experiences and the basic do’s and don'ts she followed while studying there.

• IEM Kolkata is very strict with its college timings and the students have to be very punctual. She suggested that they must reach college before 9:10 AM as the morning assembly starts at that time. Or else they can enter the college only after lunch time which starts at 12:20 PM. 
• All the students must maintain attendance of minimum 80%. This is very important as students will be prohibited from giving exams with lower percentages of attendance. 
• The students should submit all their projects, assignments and reports to their respective professors on time to maintain a good image in the college. This can be very crucial while getting internal marks which increases the overall marks in final exams. 
• The students must be able to build a good relation with their professors. This can help a lot in the long term to get many information about higher studies and their recommendations helps a lot in deciding the right college or career for our future.

Maintaining good grades is very important because students with lower grades are considered not capable enough for placements in top popular companies. They can sit for placements at non IT companies though. Students with lower grades don't get good opportunities in the college so one must maintain above average grade in his/her subjects, to secure a placement or even opt for higher studies.

The top recruiting companies that participate in their placement program include, Google, Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini, L&T, Wipro, TCS, Mindtree and many more.
