Should I take CSE in KIIT or IEM, Kolkata?

IEM and KIIT both are good options for CSE. Given below are a few of the aspects of the institute which can help you in making the right choice. 

Comparison: 

• IEM has established quite a reputation for CSE and rightly so. 
• The faculties for CSE are quite great.
• The CSE department also has an extensive alumni base. 
• However, there is not much to the campus life at IEM. If you want to bunk the class, the only place you can go in the library. On the other hand, KIIT offers a better campus life. 
• The placement record for IEM and KIIT is quite similar. Mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys visit both campuses. If after the completion of 4 years, you get placed in TCS, investing a lump sum at KIIT is not worth it. 

If you go for IEM, you can stay in Kolkata and prepare for various examinations like GATE, CAT, etc. Also, IEM is more affordable. So, choose accordingly.
