CIEM Kolkata, B.Tech, Computer Science and Engineering

Remarks

CIEM is a good private engineering college in West Bengal. It's one of the top colleges in Eastern India for CSE/IT or ECE Stream. If you closely follow the opening rank and closing rank of WBJEE, you can see CIEM’s CSE Closing rank is around 20000(tentatively, after 3rd round of counselling). You have to get within 20k rank in WBJEE to study here(CSE, ECE, or IT). It's probably the oldest private engineering college in West Bengal. Recently in India Today Magazine, CIEM listed as one of the top 20 engineering colleges in Eastern India. Positive - The location is easily accessible both by bus or metro. The social life is decent. Negative - The management doesn't really care about the students. The teachers are keeping the college running. Student protests are common. For B.Tech program, candidates must have passed Class 12 or equivalent from a recognized board with PCM with an aggregate of at least 45% marks. Admission to B.Tech program will be granted based on the score obtained in WBJEE.

Course Curriculum Overview

The focus of Computer Engineering is, particularly on computer hardware and software. Computer technology programs brace graduates for careers in a computer-related field. In this course, they also learn how computers are assembled.The faculty-student ratio is 1:24, faculty members are soo good. I like the computer and I wanted to know this subject thoroughly that's why I selected this course. In our Department, there are highly qualified faculties. The faculties are soo. The exam conducted in the college is very timely and it's quite difficult to pass.

Course Fees: INR 80000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Students become eligible after passing their final semester for the campus placement in this college. Companies that visit this college are mostly Indian small companies no multinational companies visit for the placement. It’s upon your self how you get the job. They will give you opportunities to get the job they will teach you everything that makes you best to get to a job, trust me you will get the job as soon as possible. Value-for-money. Around 3.5 lac per year. If I don't get to campus I will go off campus it will better for me.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee hike completely depends upon college administration keeping all factors in mind the fee structure for three years course is around 2 lakh. There is no such Scholarship in the college but one can apply for a National Scholarship or State Government Scholarship inside the college.

Campus Life

4.5

If you want your school life back then CIEM is perfect for you. All our friends will be in college and you will be in school wearing uniform going to college discipline no late comers morning assembly. Although you enjoy a lovely peer group and some good professors with whom u can interact freely. Also round the year programmes, good opportunity for projects development. Overall nice environment but too many restrictions, overall it is a good college with an excellent education. Teachers over here are very cooperative and experienced. I love my college and there are many types of sports conducted like cricket, football etc also having extra curricular activities.

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

The main reason behind choosing the college over other colleges is it's electrical department's history. The electrical department has received many awards, certificates for the projects development. There was a time when the college had 120 students in the electrical department. Making it one of the highest in the state. These things pulled my attention and also pulled me in take an admission in the institute. Also the department has won multiple awards at both the state and national level.
