IIEST Shibpur Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

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.

The teachers have complete autonomy here. The examinations do not gauge your learning or your understanding - the marks you get, the manner in which you are treated is up to the professor and how cultured or ‘susheel’ you are in their eyes. Irk a prof, and fail your internals. That’s how it still goes around here.

Important placement opportunities are never communicated and emails are ignored or not forwarded to students who need them. The placement officer (still there) is an obnoxious and egotistical person. He does not feel the need to contact any companies, and would rather have companies contact him for placements.

Good college in Kolkata

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.

My course is Masters of Technology in Geoinformatics Engineering. The curriculum is designed for the benifits of Students so that they get quality education in their field. Well the course might be a little complicated which is the case for the most governments colleges. The course helps in students disciplined lives .

Students are eligible for placement from the college from third semester onwards. The average package is around 8lpa and highest package offered this year was 58lpa. Many renowned companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.For placement the college cell will ask you to register in Superset website. From your superset account you can apply for job and internships in different comapnies. there are more than 20 companies visited for placement this year. arround 80 percent students from my department were placed last year.

my area of specialization is remote sensing

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.

Courses are good, professors were very much helpful. They will help you in many ways. not just academically. But we also share our personal problems with them too and ask their opinion. they were very patient to listen to their students problems like their own child,

Placements are needed to be improved. I am pretty sure there was huge placements happened in Engineering departments but in science departments there were no placements happened in 2020. I think they should focus on placements so that one student can achieve their goal.

Overall Institute is value for money but in case of Applied geology department I would not say it is value for money. Because the course fee is very much high and it is increasing every year. if the university take good care of placement issues for science department I am pretty sure it will be Value for money as well for science department students, but for engineering department students it is more than value for money.

One can enjoy campus life very much. We have a great library with huge book collection. Can study peacefully in library. Also there are many fests that happen throughout the year. One can enjoy those fests. other Amenities are pretty good. Also safe for female students.

The classrooms are clean and big as well as equipped with projectors. Some labs have very old and faulty equipments but we were able to manage. The computer labs on the other hand are upgraded with new systems, you can easily simulate high end circuits with ease. There is constant wifi connectivity in main building and library. 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.

Acedemics is good overall, the professors and lab assistants are pretty knowledgeable and help you accordingly. I can't comment on other departments but the curriculum of our department is not according to current industry standards, but if you are willing enough to learn there are seniors who can guide you with different topics and domains as well as the college also conducts seminars where you can have more exposure. Assignements and class tests depends upon the respective professor, if they wish to conduct or not. You can have good exposure about industry trends if you participate in coding club(CODEIIEST) and other events. The only thing I wish is they should start offering Minor degrees for other courses as in IITs.

Placements are decent overall. 2024 is rough in placements but 2023 had many good offers. The highest for our department was somewhere 36lpa and lowest being 4-5 lpa. There are ample of companies that visit every year. Several companies like PWC, Accenture and TCS conduct mass hiring. Many of the software companies allows students from other branches to sit for assessments. In 2023 around 80% from our department were placed and many also secured admissions in foreign universities. The procedure is very straighforward, every notification comes on the SuperSet app, companies take online or offline Assessment tests and accordingly interviews. The placement cell helps students and recruiters for smooth onboarding and is very supportive.

The academics fees per semester is approx 70000 and for hostel and mess separate charges are generated on HMS portal. Mess charges can vary hostel to hostel. Food quality is pretty average but you'll adjust overtime. The current policy for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years is 4 students per room and for 4th year single occupancy. It is sometimes hard to adjust but you'll sure learn and make decent memories with friends all around.

Campus life is very fulfilling. There is plenty of space to walk around. There is one market where you can have almost everything you wish. Commuting is easy as well, there are buses going every 10 minutes of so to kolkata and howrah from there you can go anywhere you wish. All departments host their fests time to time to keep everyone engaged. Students from different corner of india come here, you'll make great friends and memories here. Some hostels have their separate small fields where you can play badminton and volleyball at night. There is one swimming pool which started few months ago, there is one time fee for admission.

The collage campus is very clean, you will find many dustbines placed in places to collect the garbage. It is also one of the most greenest area I have ever seen. You will get Wifi in the hostels, halls, academic areas(but with proxy). Our college have numerous facilities as per student's requirement, but many things are needed to be updated obviously. Many departments have classroom with with air conditioning system. Nearly all the classroom and gallery have projectors.

I am studying in the Department of Information Technology. I was interested in the coding so I have chosen this stream. The quality of teaching of our professor's are quite good. Every one of them is really well educated. Our curriculum is quite updated but it can be updated more. And about job.. You have to learn many things which are not in the syllabus from outside to crack a job. Also library is there to help you

The placement of department of Information technology is very good. It is improving years bu years. This year nearly all of the IT students got placed, and those who don't some of them are persuing higher studies and some have started startups.

One non fee waiver student has to pay 60k per semester only for academics and hostellers has to pay for their food per semester as per requirment. Over all it is little expensive for many people in our college.

My campus life is full of fun, thrill. Here I got in touch with many friends . My roommates are awesome. Always some fest is going on in our campus so no one can be bored of that. Some of them are really good, you can meet many people and learn many aspects of life. In my opinion one must enjoy hostel life at least for once... ❤

Overall it is a very nice college. You can study here and live hare for your course time, I am assuring you It will be awesome..
