B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (IOT) at UEM Kolkata

If you are looking at B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (IOT), UEM Kolkata in Kolkata runs it as a 4-year, full-time undergraduate course. Fees for the full course come to ₹6.44 lakh – ₹6.69 lakh (roughly ₹1.61 lakh a year).

At its core, the programme covers connected devices end to end: sensors, microcontrollers and embedded programming, wireless networks and the cloud platforms that collect the data.

UEM Kolkata is a other institute, founded in 2014. This page brings together what is on record for this course at UEM Kolkata — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means connected devices end to end: sensors, microcontrollers and embedded programming, wireless networks and the cloud platforms that collect the data. Typical first jobs: IoT developer, embedded systems engineer or solutions engineer. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask UEM Kolkata for the current semester-wise plan.

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at UEM Kolkata as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with UEM Kolkata before you pay anything.

To be considered for B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (IOT), you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check UEM Kolkata's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

Here is the usual route in:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to UEM Kolkata on its website (www.uem.edu.in/uem-kolkata) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.
