University of Engineering and Management MCA Review By Rittika Paul

University of Engineering and Management is a self affiliated college which provides both under graduate and post graduate courses to students on Engineering and Management. I am currently an MCA student at UEM. I got admission to UEM via an entrance exam named JECA. I chose MCA because I had deep interest in coding since my high school. UEM is very strict with discipline. Bunking of classes is not at all entertained in UEM unlike other colleges. The college also requires 75% attendance of students. If a student has attendance less than the mentioned percentage, the college debars the student from appearing in the semester examination.

The college offers subjects like BCA, MCA, BBA, MBA, B.Tech, M.Tech, etc. All the students undergo respective entrance exams for getting admission in their courses. The college also has criteria for students; students must score at least 50% in their 10 and +2 exams for getting admission in UEM. I enrolled in MCA because the world is progressing with different IT technologies these days and Computer Application is taking a wide range of scope in this competitive world.

All the faculties are well qualified in their respective fields. They are very helpful. They maintain a friendly relationship with students. They take special classes before final exams. They train students for placement as well. The college offers a separate subject for training and placement for every course every semester. The college has partnership with Coder byte which takes regular assessment on Aptitude and Coding for training the students well for placement.

As heard from seniors, Cognizant is the mass recruiter of this college. Almost 75% of the students get placed every year. Top Multinational Companies like Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, and Google offers job and internships for students. Besides, the college has partnership with Coder byte and SHL which take regular assessment on Aptitude and Coding for training the students well for upcoming placement. The college also offers free 3 months Coursera courses on multiple different technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Data Science, etc.

The college also has hostel facilities for both Girls and Boys students. The hostel provides 4 times meal and 3 share bedroom to students. The hostel also provides free Wi-Fi facilities to students. Infrastructure of hostel is okay, not that great. The hostel also has certain restrictions on students. The hostel also celebrates different festivals like Holi, Saraswati Puja, etc.

The infrastructure of the college is not that great. The classrooms are equipped with projectors. The college comprises 3 blocks. It has 1 canteen, 1 basketball court, multiple auditoriums, multiple well equipped laboratories, and a big air conditioned library which offers thousands of readings to students. The library is open to students only during recess, before and after college hours to ensure students are not bunking classes. There are elevators in each block.

Campus life is not that great. Students might feel that they are still in their school where bell rings after every period, bunking classes is highly prohibited, punctuality is also maintained, and ragging is not entertained. If a student is late to class even by 5 minutes, he or she is not allowed to enter the class. Students also need to write assignments, pages after pages just like in primary schools.
