Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. What is the difference between IEMJEE and IEMCET for admission at IEM Kolkata?

Ans. IEMJEE and IEMCET are institute-level entrance exams conducted by the IEM-UEM Group. IEMJEE is mainly used for admission to B.Tech and B.Tech (Lateral) programs with online phase from January 5 to March 31, 2026 and offline exam on April 3, 2026. IEMCET is conducted for courses like BBA, BCA, M.Tech, and MCA. Candidates must qualify for the respective exam and participate in counselling for seat allotment.

Ques. Is IEMJEE/IEMCET entrance exam valid for both IEM and UEM campuses?

Ans. Yes, entrance exams conducted by the IEM-UEM Group are accepted for admission at both Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata and University of Engineering and Management campuses, depending on seat availability and counselling results.

Ques. Can I edit my IEM entrance exam application after submission?

Ans. After submitting the application for IEM entrance exams, candidates can only edit limited personal details. Exam date, slot, or schedule cannot be changed. The exams such as IEMJEE and IEMCET are conducted in both online (Computer-Based Test) and offline modes, depending on the option chosen during registration.

Ques. How does IEM Kolkata admission process compare with other Kolkata engineering colleges?

Ans. The main difference is the entrance exam route. IEM Kolkata primarily conducts its own entrance exams (IEMJEE/IEMCET) followed by internal counselling. In contrast, institutes like Techno India University and Heritage Institute of Technology generally admit B.Tech students mainly through WBJEE counselling, with some seats through JEE Main or management quota. This makes IEM's admission route slightly more institute-controlled compared to the state counselling process followed by many other Kolkata engineering colleges.

Ques. How can I contact the admissions team at IEM Kolkata if I have more questions?
