How good is IEM kolkata for mechanical engineering?

IEM Kolkata is a very prestigious private college in West Bengal and it is basically known for some of its branches such as Computer science, Information Technology and Electronics, and Communication engineering. 

Mechanical at IEM:

• Few new branches including Mechanical introduced in the institution that has been added in the recent year.
• The students do not have much of a college life. There are not any extracurricular activities.
• There are only a handful of supportive faculties in these branches.
• There are no proper classrooms, labs for the mechanical branch. The Mechanical engineering department is situated on the Management campus.
• The students are made to follow some irrelevant rules and attend classes and seminars that have nothing to do with their future goals.
• The course curriculum is not industry-oriented. 
• In placements, students are mostly placed in IT companies.
• You won’t get much assistance for GATE preparation here too. Faculties are not very supportive and focus more on attendance.
• Although, students of the Mechanical branch at IEM are doing a good job in student chapters like IEEE, ISHARE, etc. 

The college is good for other branches but for mechanical, you should look for other options.
