Remarks

Eligibility- more than 60 percent in PCM of 12th class, should be medically fit, should appear for IMU CET exam. Caste benefits are availed when you have to choose for different imu campuses. The admission process is normal as it holds a normal exam.

Course Curriculum Overview

I choose this course as this career gives good money and for adventure There is the total count of students of 80 in a batch that is further divided into two classes of 40 each for the ratio is 40:1 Qualification of the faculty is good enough, mostly chief engineers or PhD are there. There are 2 semesters in one year and there is end semester exam every semester and two internal exams in each semester. The exam difficulty is a bit difficult for the end sem exam.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 225000 per year

Placement Experience

As of now, the placements record are very bad for BTech (me) in the Chennai campus as it has just started. Basically, placement starts from the 3rd year but we haven't gotten any opportunities. Companies like SCI, fleet, come but don't give many placements as there are designated colleges like Kolkata and Mumbai.

Fees and Financial Aid

As I'm in 3rd year the fees have hiked to 275000 for the 1st years. If there is an offline exam there are scholarships given from college based on your rank in the end semester exams of each semester. Scholarship for other states is different based on which state you belong to.

Campus Life

There are annual fest like tempest is the biggest fest in IMU, but it is held in Kolkata campus and we can participate in it, other fests like navigate etc that are academically based are held in Chennai campus, amenities like grounds are not much good for BTech, there are not much amenities for us as it is a developing college There aren't any websites that are run by the students.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The meals and the snacks are pretty much good for a hostel I would give 8/10 for it. The hostels are good and there is regular cleaning. 2 students are allotted in one room, it's spacious and good living There isn't any kind of registration fees for the hostel as it is included in the fees. This is a residential course so you have to reside inside the campus no matter what, You can't take any pg outside.

Hostel Fee: INR 85000 per year

The College that Balances Academics, Opportunities and Overall Growth

Likes

The college provides numerous opportunities to participate in hackathons, technical events, project competition, and cultural activities. This gives students a chance to explore their interest.
Faculty members are approachable and students can interact with them comfortably regarding academics, projects, and other college - related activities. Good staff interaction makes it easier to clarify doubt and seek guidance.
The availability of both technical and cultural events gives students to take break, socialize, discover new interest. Students can improve their problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and presentation skills by participating in competitions.

Placement Experience:

Easwari offers placement training and oppotunities with recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Accenture and Goldmann Sachs. Reported 2026 statistics include 50LPA highest package and 98.25% placement rate. I aim to become Software developer and will build my skills through projects and internships.

The college could provide more opportunities for extracurricular activities, student interaction, and cultural events to improve campus life.
Placement preparation could be improved through more industry connections, internship opportunities, mock interviews, and advanced technical training.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and covers both theory and practical subjects. It builds technical knowledge and supports career growth. More industry-based projects, internships, and interactive teaching methods would improve learning. Internal tests and semester exams are moderately challenging.

Placement Experience:

In our University from the starting of Seventh semester we are eligible for campus placements. Campanies like Jubilant food works, Zifo Technologies, Amura Heath Pvt.Ltd, Biocon etc. were some of the companies that visited our campus. Around fifty students got offers from these companies. About 70 percentage of the students got placements successfully. I am planning to pursue a master degree abroad

Dislikes

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

Placement Experience:

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.

If the percentage is high the admission process is easy. Only 60 seats are available for this particular course. If the seats are not getting full then first come first is being applied.
