No, you do not need domicile certificate. Domicile certificate is required to avail for state quota seats. But according to the new regulations, the state from which you are passing you Higher Secondary examination (10+2) will be treated as your domicile state. So as per your case you wont need any domiciliary certificate for taking admission in IIEST Shibpur.

Congratulations! for getting such a great college. Wish you a prosperous future ahead!

Hello deepak

There is not a clear cut answer to this question (maybe i am  not be able to answer ) .You have to compare the colleges based upon several factors .first talking about NIRF ranking then clearly IIEST shibpur is better . fee is also slightly less than NIT agartala .In terms of placements I think NIT agartala is better .so try making a list of such factors on a notebook and compare thoroughly .the final decision must be yours ,so research properly.

Best wishes

Hey!

The Hostel facilities are the best in IIEST, Shibpur. There are 15 hostels in the Institute. Boys' residence comprises hostel 8 to Hostel 15. Each Hostel has its mess, common room with indoor games like carrom board, and a TV room. WIFI facilities are available in each hostel. Washing Machines are available in the hostels. The hostels are clean. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner with snacks in the evening. The food is also good. The beds are also comfortable with a table for each student.

Hope this answer is helpful to you.

Thank you.

I will tell you pro and cons of both.

Iiest pros-

  1. It is well established college with average placement around 9lpa for cse in 2019 lesser than average iiit and nits for cse.
  2. Highly recognized in bengal

Cons-

  1. It is more like a regional state college where 90% are bengali. A national college should be diverse like iits .
  2. Hostel infrastructure is not appropriate. They pack 4 in single room
  3. College is recognized less than iiits in north west and south India among people and professional too. Jadavpur is much more popular than this. Eveyone know the name.

IIIT Lucknow pros

  1. Diverse culture
  2. Good Coding environment

Cons

  1. Almost everything except the pros. The batch from iiitl campus fill passout in 2023.

If your priorities is programming so go for iiit Lucknow.

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

Both colleges are good , you can go either way .

IIIT Lucknow has got a better placements and coding culture , great location ,better syllabus which is more focussed on CS and IT and carries a better tag with it but IIEST is quiet old and established and has a better infra and all as of now . So you can decide according to your priorities. Both are comparable in CS / IT so decide on your priorities but for any other branch prefer IIIT Lucknow .

Hello,

If we're comparing on the basis of the branch then CSE is a better choice than IT. Although IT is no less, but the placement chances of CSE department is higher as compared to IT.

Now institution wise, IIEST is better than NIT Agartala, Comparing infrastructure, NIRF Ranking, placement, academics.

Now the choice is completely based on your field of interest. I can assure you the placement opportunities in NIT Agartala is no less but institute wise IIEST is a better option. Almost 98% of the students get placed every year in IIEST and IT department has really nice placement stats as well.

Hi Kunal ,

Basically you have mentioned four colleges :-

  1. Malaviya National Institute Of Technology ,Bhopal
  2. Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology , Shibpur
  3. National Institute of Technology ,Raipur
  4. National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur

If I go by NIRF ranking 2020 for architecture then IIEST is best as it secure rank 6th in the country. NIT Hamirpur secure 19th position . MNIT is also good but of Rajasthan not of Bhopal .


Other than these three colleges , rest of all not worth for your money and time.

For B.Arch you need a good exposure so choose wisely an ACTIVE college .

I hope this helps you.

College Infrastructure

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology situated in Shibpur Having good infrastructure.Certainly lacks the facility & infrastructure of a top notch institute (refers to my dept.-archi), and heard a lot of complaints from my B.Tech friends about the placement department, which I presume is true to a large extent, although the new INI tag will be able to solve the problem, hopefully. But, students here get one hell of an experience of the hostel life, senior-junior relationship is something we learn to treasure and cherish.

Good college

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Our college having great infrastructure with all the facilities are available. Library is very well maintained with all books and papers you need with space to study there as well. Hostels on the other hand really need serious maintainance. The food quality is very bad to average. Drinking water is not very good as well. There are no well made tables or chairs in hostels, you have to buy them on your own. For sports there are 2 big grounds where you can play cricket and football. There is separate court for basketball and one for badminton. Except these there isn't anything else in sports department.

It was pretty good experience.

College Infrastructure

Great Infrastructure but placements should be improved as there was no placement in 2020 for Applied Geology. I am pretty sure the engineering departments are very much good at infrastructure but the university authorities must pay attention t the science departments as well.
