Hi


Who told you that you can apply online for admission at IIEST? 


As a student of IIEST Shibpur, let me tell you that, you have to appear in JEE Mains examination to be eligible for admission in BTech at IIEST Shibpur which be through JoSAA or CSAB. There is no other entrance examination for the same. For MTech you have to take GATE. And for PhD courses, you can apply in the college directly. Otherwise there is no such options.


Best of Luck.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hey Farhan, 

NIT Patna is no doubt a very good college but still IIEST Shibpur has got an upper hand instead. If we talk in terms of ranking, then IIEST takes a lead over NIT Patna and obviously the degree holds a national level importance too.

You can compare both the colleges here.

Hope it helped.. 

Both the colleges are good for pursuing engineering. Both the colleges are well known in  India.
The electrical department of IIEST is considered to be the best branch of this college. The placement have been good with the companies like Microsoft, samsung, Maruti Suzuki, L and T, Tata Steel etc. The new training and placement cell is formed which increases the placement in the campus.

Hello, 

IIEST shibpur is ranked significantly more better than nit patna.

IIEST shibpur has a edge over nit patna over these aspects -

  • Much larger amount of research projects 
  • More faculty with phd
  • Very descent placements of about 6 lakhs per year
  • Far better consultancy projects 
  • Highly specialised labs and research centres like SAIF, CEGESS etc
  • No ragging, free wi fi
  • More prominent infrastructure. 


IIEST is more better choice to go with. 

Hope this helped. 

Good luck 

Hi,

Congrats on your score. With this score, i think you could get IIT Madras easily.

I suggest you to check previous year's cutoffs to get a decent idea about it-> https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-cutoff-for-nits

See both the colleges are good, but my answer is somewhat inclined towards iiest shibpur . This is due to several reasons . Shibpur is a old college with good professors . Also after becoming a college of national importance it is rapidly improving . It is having a nirf rank of 19 which is very impressive. Also it is in the heart of the city , so all kind of facilities are available. So as a whole shibpur with its attractive placement options is much better

Dear Reader,

I would suggest you to lock your seat as per your interest. As per my suggestion both the branches are good but petroleum is considered better in placement perspective. But again i will say both the branches are important ones. Also your rank is not bad so you just lock your seat and go for next round of counselling. 

My suggestion would to also explore private colleges in order to get a good or your desired branch

Hello Om,

The below given details are based on the review taken by the passed out students from the respective colleges.

IIEST - 

The overall placement scenario in IIEST Shibpur is improving day by day. The rich alumni base of IIEST (formerly BESU) and its hardworking placement cell are the major factors for this. The placement scenario is at its best for the CSE department and more than 80% of students get placed. Mass recruiters like Wipro, TCS, Cognizant and major IT companies like Microsoft, Adobe, etc, visit our campus for recruitment.

Jadavpur University - 

Since Jadavpur University is ranked at no 7 at all India Engineering college ranking. It has 100% placement ratio. Many of the tech giants arrive here. Like microsoft, amazon TCS and many more. The lowest Salary was 8 LPA. Talking about internship one guy got internship at Google also.

Good luck!

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

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.
