Hey buddy..

IIEST Shibpur is an "Indian Institute" and an INI like IITs / IISc while NITs are "National Institutes" having a Lower Budget than IIEST. IIEST is considered Higher Level Institute than NITs and accordingly Govt. of India has sanctioned Higher Budget for IIEST similar to IITs but Higher than NITs. Hope now you understand the Difference between an "Indian Institute" and a "National Institute".

Currently MHRD / NIRF Ranking has placed IIEST at "7th by Research Parameter" and 20th overall placing IIEST Above almost All NITs except two or three very old NITs. Naturally IIEST is Better than All the NITs you have mentioned for B.Tech / M.Tech and particularly for M.Tech considering Research. By Research IIEST is just after six old IITs and Above All other IITs and NIITs taken together.
I would place Old IITs / IIEST / Old NITs/ New IITs / New NITs as shown below.

1. Six Old IITs - They are The Best in India and Comparable with Bests in the World.

2. IIEST - Ranked 7th in Research by MHRD / NIRF - Just after six old IITs and Above All NITs. Check Wikipedia / MHRD / NIRF ( Research Parameter) .

3. New IITs - They are Above most of the NITs except may be few Old NITs. But New IITs will be Above All new and old NITs very soon.

4. Old NITs - Better than few New IITs but Above All New NITs

5. New NITs

Please select your college keeping above ranking in view. In IIEST you will get help from its "Global Alumni Association" having Seven Chapters in USA ( New York / Chicago / California / Washington etc.) only apart from several Alumni Chapters in London / Singapore / Canada / Europe / Australia / New Zealand / Middle East etc. as also Chapters in almost all the major cities in India. IIEST Alumni offers many Scholarships / Fellowships / Internships / Research & Travel Grants to B.Tech / M.Tech students for higher studies / research in India / USA / UK / Europe.
So IIEST Shibpur may be the Best Choice for you.

Wish You Best of Luck…

Hello,

Last year a candidate with rank 27964 secured admission to Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur under General (Female) Other state category in the last round of JoSAA counselling. Considering the previous year cut off you have decent chances to get seat in ETE in the preferred institute. The cut off changes every year depending on the total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.

IIEST Shibpur IT seems the best Option from your above mentioned choices. One of the Oldest Technical Institutes in India, IIEST has excellent faculty, infrastructure, strong curriculum as well as excellent Placements as far as CSE/IT is concerned. Incase youre inclined towards research, there can be no better place than IIEST Shibpur. IIEST is perhaps only some of the few technical institutes with an excellently strong Alumini Base, a strong Academic and Employer Outlook. Ofcourse, if youre obsessed with the NIT Tag as well as CSE Stream, NIT Patna.. Do even check if youre getting CSE/IT/ECE at BIT Mesra, that too is an excellent option, much better than Average NITs.

Hello,

Last year a candidate with rank 694 belonging to OBC-NCL category ( other state) secured admission to Architecture, Town and Regional Planning in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. And a candidate with rank 2195 belonging to OBC-NCL category (Home state) secured admission to Architecture, Town and Regional Planning. Considering the previous year cut off you do not have chances to get seat in Architecture, Town and Regional Planning in the preferred institute.

Cut off depends on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. So it may increase or decrease this year based on above mentioned factors.

Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you want to know about the cut offs for the dual degree at iiest shibpur so let me tell you that iiest shibpur doesn't offer dual degree . If offers only 4 year b.tech degree in computer science branch and other engineering branches.

Although various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.

Hey,
IIEST is one of the oldest engineering institutes. It was established in 1856. The institute provides course in all major engineering fields such as civil, mechanic, engineering etc. All these core departments are good in nature. Mechanical engineering department of IIEST, Shibpur is ranked 7th all over India by EDU-RAND.
As per my research about the college and course, the placement of mechanical engineering students is quite good. Top companies like Coal, TATA metalliks Ltd, Maruti Suzuki etc. recruits students every year. Almost 70 percentage of students get placed every year.

Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Incase your interested in Aerospace you may consider IIEST Shibpur, however you dont have strong Core Engineering Placements, same with Integrated MSc in Physics at NIT Surat. Incase your choice in Aerospace Engineering, you should target MTech in Aerospace from some of the IITs/IISc Bangalore/IIST Trivandrum or maybe a career with ISRO/DRDO/HAL, post GATE Qualification. Today however there are strong Off Campus Opportunities in the Aerospace Sector with lots of Private Players like Skyroot, Agnikul, TAL coming in, however a Postgraduate degree is desirable by most Employers. Other option could be PhD abroad, which is a usual for IIEST Graduates, mainly in US or pursue Non Core Opportunities like Edtech, Finance, Data Science, Software or maybe prepare for CAT followed by MBA. Incase youre interested in Physics, you may take up NIT Surat, however prospects remain same, you make pursue PhD or maybe a career with the EdTech or Education Sector and usual Non Engineering Opportunities On Campus.

Try looking for a NIT or Top GFTI, at your Rank, with streams like Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgy or maybe Electrical or maybe CSE/IT at some Good IIIT, I believe this would be better, incase youre not genuinely interested in Aerospace or Civil.

Best college for engineering courses

Verified Review

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.
