What are the college timings at UEM Kolkata?

BM
Biswajit Maiti Posted On : June 18th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

My elder brother is an alumnus of UEM Kolkata. The timings are not exactly flexible.

  1. The first shift takes place from 9:20 AM to 4:00 PM. On any two days of the week, the class schedule will be from 9:15 AM to 5:45 PM.
  2. Two recesses are also included in the schedule.
  3. The morning assembly is held from 9:00 AM to 9:20 AM.
  4. The second shift is from 12:15 PM to 5:45 PM.

You can also consult for choosing one shift in case you are not comfortable with the other shift. A lot of students managed to get their shifts changed so take it with a grain of salt.

The second shift is the one where my brother was because there would be no stress of being late for class, less tension for submission of assignments. The only thing that will “tire” you will be the excursions.

The institute offers commendable infrastructural facilities and quality education to the students which is why so many students choose this college for pursuing engineering and management.

How is UEM, Rajarhat? Is it safe to join?

NB
Neelanjana Bose Posted On : May 19th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

I have a few friends who are alumni of UEM, Rajarhat and they don’t recommend the institute.

  • UEM mostly gives admission through management quota. The college takes admission with WBJEE scores up to 80,000. 
  • Most of the students get placement in IT companies as it is set up by the IEM group. The average CTC of the college is around 4 LPA

But IEM has its own college in Kolkata which is far more reputed than UEM. UEM Jaipur campus is also great for engineering. UEM Kolkata does have the potential to become as good as the Jaipur campus with time. But as of now, it is not that great.

How is UEM Kolkata? Is it as good as IEM?

SK
Saifuddin Khan Posted On : May 24th, 2021
B.Sc from the University of Hyderabad

My brother studied in IEM Kolkata and firstly, it is a reputed college in West Bengal, even more than Jadavpur and IIEST Shibpur. The placement rate at IEM is about 80%-90%. On the other hand, UEM is a regular engineering college with only a few defining features. Its fame is because of the fact that it was established by the IEM trust.

  • However, if you compare UEM with IEM then, IEM wins on the faculty quality and placement scenario. At IEM, the teachers are friendly and enthusiastic.
  • IEM also has a limited number of seats that are filled based on the rank in WBJEE. It does not have a management quota.
  • UEM was established recently, so it is a relatively new private university and is the third of the three engineering institutions founded by the IEM-UEM Group.
  • UEM is a much more disciplined institution, quiet more than IEM.

If you're keen on choosing between these two, I'd suggest you consider the student intake because if the number is lesser then it's better. For this, you can ask alumni or someone currently studying there. Some students also have a negative view of IEM. The IT department is not as good because my brother's friend is there and claims that the professors do not know even the basics of the program. 

So, be very refined in your research before choosing.

You do not have to give WBJEE to take admission to UEM Kolkata. You can get admission to UEM Kolkata through the IEMJEE entrance examination but UEM Kolkata does not take students from WBJEE counseling.

You can also try for admission through WBJEE and JEE Main ranks. In that case, you need to talk to the admission office of UEM. You can not get admission in UEM through WBJEE or JEE Main counseling.

What is the environment inside the campus of UEM Kolkata?

VR
Vaibhavi Rautela Posted On : June 14th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

According to the experience of one of my friends at UEM Kolkata, the campus is one of the favorite places. When it comes to the environment inside the campus that is one of the main key factors to produce quality students.

  1. The classes are conducted regularly with utmost sincerity and if they are suspended due to some reasons extra classes are conducted on Saturdays to fulfill the loss. Since there is a biometric system for attendance, no student can bunk the classes.
  2. CCTV cameras are installed in every classroom that monitors the students for the entire day due to which the campus is a completely ragging-free area.
  3. There is an anti-ragging cell and if anyone is caught ragging others he/she gets rusticated immediately. There is a privilege of choosing your faculty as every student is given a faculty feedback form.
  4. 80% attendance is mandatory for all otherwise you will not be allowed to give examinations.
  5. It is a safe place for girls, and drinking or smoking is completely prohibited in the campus area.
  6. There is a culture of maintaining and following complete discipline on the campus. No one is allowed to enter the college premises after 9 AM sharp.

Lastly, we can say that UEM, Kolkata is a place that not only provides quality education but at the same time grooms the overall personality of a child that helps him/her in the future.

PG
Pranav Ganguly Posted On : May 26th, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science at University of Engineering and Management, Kolk

The overall fee structure in UEM Kolkata keeps changing. But, there are no major modifications to it over the last few years. 

  • For the 2016-20 batches, the fee per semester was Rs. 60,000. Therefore, the total fee would be Rs. 1.2 Lakhs annual fees.
  • During admission, you will need to pay an additional admission fee of Rs. 12,000. So, the first-semester fee is Rs. 72,000 combined together, which the students need to pay before their admission to the institute.
  • There is an examination fee of Rs. 1000, which needs to be paid before semester exams. For the first semester, the exam fee is Rs. 1400.
  • UEM organizes several technical and professional workshops, and almost all of them are paid. The fee for such workshops varies from Rs. 500-1500, depending on the type and duration of the workshop. But, these are entirely optional. The management will not force you to participate. 
  • Previously, the 2015-19 batches had a semester fee of Rs. 37,000, and so Rs. 74,000 annually. All other fees, i.e.-exam fees, workshop fees, etc, were the same for those batches too.

For more classified details regarding the present fee structure, you can contact the IEM/UEM group via phone calls. The numbers are available on their website.

Which is better, Budge Budge Institute of Technology or UEM Kolkata?

PS
Pranav Sengupta Posted On : May 26th, 2021
studied at Jadavpur University – Department of Mechanical Engineering

Both the institutes, Budge Budge Institute of Technology and UEM Kolkata, are average institutes. At present times, engineering is somewhat an overrated course, if studied from an average institute. 

The points below give a brief overview of the present conditions of engineering from this kind of institute.

  • In engineering, only premier institutes like IITs, NITs, BITS, and other top regional institutes provide effective academics and placement. Other than those, a good job is a myth in most cases.
  • There is a lot of shrink in opportunities after engineering with time. Companies are reducing the number of intakes, mostly in core sectors. So, it is better to think well and then take admission, and obviously in a stream that has some placement in it.
  • Neither of the institutes mentioned in the question is very good in engineering studies. So, you should not expect a decent job from these institutes.

2020 Placements Highlights 

Budge Budge Institute of Technology

UEM Kolkata

Average CTC

2.40 LPA

4.50 LPA

Highest CTC

22 LPA

72 LPA

But if you want to take admission in either of those can choose any of them based on the amount of money spent for the degree and location preferences.

Sudeshna Kaur Posted On : July 13th, 2021
B.Tech from University of Engineering and Management, Jaipur (2018)

One of my close friends studied CSE at the Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata. According to her, they have a great faculty, well-maintained infrastructure, and an updated curriculum.

Heritage Institute provides better placement opportunities than UEM and CIEM Kolkata. It also offers good industrial exposure to its students through various kinds of workshops, seminars, and guest lectures.

UEM is a very new college so it cannot be compared with old institutions like Heritage or CIEM.

Categories Heritage Institute CIEM UEM
Course Fee 4.56 lakhs 3.57 lakhs 5.81 LPA
Highest CTC 25 LPA 21 LPA 12 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA 10 LPA 8 LPA
Recruiting Companies Accenture, Cognizant, etc. Wipro, Infosys, etc. Byju’s, HCL, etc.

It is suggested that you go for Heritage Institute of Technology rather than CIEM or UEM in Kolkata. It will provide better prospects for your career.
