Which is better: Mechanical at IIEST shibpur or IT at Hbtu kanpur?
Dear,
I would recommend IIEST anytime. Formerly Bengal Engineering and Sciene University(BESU) IIEST Shibpur, is one of the oldest engineering institutes which has now been upgraded to the status of institute of national importance in the year 2015.Being old, the institute has done well in procurement of a mighty alumni base which proves quite instrumental in placements and all.Its the mother institute of highly reputed IIT Kharagpur. That even adds to its value.Its a central govt. Technical institute now and hence has a greater degree of transparency in fund regulation and policy framing.
Talking about HBTU , it is one of the oldest engineering colleges in the entire North India and 19th enginnering college in the entire country. From the year 2017–18, i.e. from this year onwards, it would also be admitting students on the basis of JEE MAIN ranks only. The mother institue of 41 technical institutes in the state including IIT Kanpur. That adds to the value of the institution as well.Being old, the college has done enough to procure a mighty lace of alumni that has established the prestige of the institution in the industry apart from that among the common masses. Its a thing that always proves instrumental in placement drives of the college. But, the college administration is not that supportive. You will have an approximate idea of entire Indian bureaucracy by the completion of your four years if you opt for this college. Also, its hard to get good marks at the college.
Hope this helps!
