    IIEST Shibpur

    College Infrastructure

    I have joined my college on 2019. The experience has been great. The campus is like a feast to eyes. And the teachers are helpful. Sometime regarding exams they give too much pressure. But regarding overall infrastructure it is good

    Academics

    Academics in some branches, they follow old syllabus. But most of the branches it is up to date. Almost all the teachers are eager to help the students. And the teaching is not bounded inside the for walls of classroom

    Placements

    Placement in my college is improving. putting that aside it is better than various colleges of India. The main companies are google, microsoft, tcs etc. And as for a government college it has a moderate placement record.

    Value for Money

    Our course fee for 1. General/OBC(family income more than 500000) students is aprox. 140000/year(125000 is tuition fee). 2.

    College Infrastructure

    The college has well built infrastructure, beautiful area visuals and necessary facilities. The classroom usually has normal blackboards, white boards with projector screen facilities. All are well maintained and regularly checked. It has awesome laboratory facilities with world class equipment; some extraordinary machines, The library has lots of books with digital library support. Sports centers. Hostel has facility like wifi, canteen, but all of them are not well maintained.

    Academics

    I'm a studying metallurgy and materials engineering . The quality of teaching is good as we have some world renowned professors. Yes, curriculum is regularly updated and it includes all recent research topics. Yes it can be said that it makes us job-ready but we definitely have to work ourselves.

    Placements

    The placements are quite good here. Many major companies like, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, ZS etc., comes here. Almost 70-80% of all students on an average was placed. The highest salary i think is 50 lakhs for a CSE student but I'm not confirmed it can be further higher The average salary offered is 6-7lpa. The placement process is through superset platform. Its average and we need to be alert anyways for the offers. yes, to an extent college was supportive.

    Value for Money

    The actual course fees is about 63000/sem. But there are several criteria to this and many fee wavers schemes are there which can give full or partial waiver. yes the college is worth of the money paid as you get good infrastructure, professor support and placement opportunity.

    Campus Life

    The college campus is very beautiful. It has several lakes, full of greenery, sitting areas, parks, swimming pools. The worst thing is after 7pm no food shop was opened but since a year there are shops which opens till midnight inside the Campus. The students can engage in drama, dance, singing, and many more club activities.

    College Infrastructure

    College Infrastructure is good. Whole campus is WiFi enabled. Good roads connecting every building. There are buildings from pre-independence period which looks great. The laboratories are well maintained, you'll get site visita under the guidance of best professors. Hostel food is good, not like other colleges. You'll get to try different types of food from West Bengal and also from pan India. Cleanliness is well maintained in the whole campus.

    Academics

    The college has ranked 21 in NIRF 2020. And particularly in Architecture the college ranks 6th in the NIRF Architecture College ranking. Its one of the oldest colleges in India and is still at top most position in academics.

    Placements

    Placements are decent. With CST and IT students getting the highest number of placements with good packages. Number pf multinational companies come for placement to this college. Overall placement is decent. Average salary offered is around 4-5 LPA.

    Value for Money

    Its quite expensive to study in a College of National Importance, because of the Tuition fee. Students have to pay around 64,000 per semester as the tuition fee. Hostel, mess charges are not included in this. But of you have less family income or belong to reserved categories then there is some relaxation.

    Campus Life

    Campus life in this college is awesome. You will love it. The lakes in campus, the iconic clocktower inside the campus, the trees and the historic buildings helps in building great memories for the students.The view of iconic Howrah Bridge looks great.Ganga river ghats near the college is a great place to chill and spend time with friends. The Botanical Garden next to the campus provides fresh air to the surroundings also keeps the environment cool helping in tackling the heat of Kolkata.

    Others

    It does not depend on where, which college you join. Just live those moment completely, enjoy your college life along with studies. You'll get to know several new things. Explore new places. If you join I.I.E.S.T.S you'll get a chance to explore the city of Kolkata which has a rich culture also you'll get to study under the guidance of some best professors.

    College Infrastructure

    We have well equipped laboratories but they aren't maintained timely in many departments.The libraries have all books required and are easy to access.Classrooms are in good condition.We have facilities of basketball,TT,gym,badminton,volleyball,chess,etc.Food is hygienic but few hostels aren't maintained.

    Academics

    I am studying Electrical Engineering.We have supportive and experienced professors.The curriculum is fine for exams like GATE but lacks training for developed technologies like MATLAB,etc.We can learn it on our own and seek professors' help but there is no separate facility for it.

    Placements

    The maximum placement goes to CST department or IT department each year.The college is taking various steps to introduce students with all the possible opportunities and also train them for placements.

    Value for Money

    I think there are various scholarships for economically weaker section offered by the government and the alumni of our college so it's affordable for all students.I still think that the fees can be used in a more efficient way. Mess fees can be a burden for some people.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is amazing here.The college is close to the city and has all required facilities near and inside the campus.Students engage in various technical,cultural and sports fest.The administration doesn't cooperate regarding the permission for some activities.

    Others

    All I can say is that people should not expect 100% placements from our college but if you are hard-working and capable enough the opportunities won't seem less since now the college is taking various initiatives to keep the students updated and aware about all possible opportunities.

    College Infrastructure

    Boasting as the second most oldest engineering college of India, IIEST SHIBPUR has refurbished it's infrastructure at times and is now well equipped with most of the modern facilities to serve the needs of its students. It is well furnished with wifi facility, libraries and hostels to meet the requirements of the dwellers but at the same time there is much more scope to improvise it's infrastructure to adore it with a texture of a more eminent institute.

    Academics

    I am pursuing Mining Engineering in this college and I am quite satisfied with the quality of teachers and their way of imparting knowledge to the students. Moreover, they play an indispensable role to help students to acquire any internship or placement in the eminent firms.

    Placements

    There has been a considerable surge in the placements of certain branches like Mining, Metallurgy etc in the past few years while the other branches continue to hold their shine in this facet . The aspirants have been recruited with some really high perks and lucrative offers upto INR 50 lacs.

    Value for Money

    Although there has been a spike in the tution and other charges which is inevitable with passage of time, the remittance in the fees as per the various income slabs indeed relieves the aspirants of the heavy payments.

    Campus Life

    Genuinely speaking, I have comprehensively enjoyed my campus life with my colleagues and friendly staffs at several occasions (like technical and cultural fests organised every year) and still cherish those indelible moments at times.

    Have a question related to IIEST Shibpur ?

    im pursuing biotech from heritage institute of technology.. is it worth it? because from csab i would have gotten civil engineering in iiest shibpur

    Choosing between Biotechnology and Civil Engineering depends on your interests and career goals. Biotechnology can offer exciting opportunities in research, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, especially if you're passionate about biological sciences and innovation in life sciences. Civil Engineering, on the other hand, provides a more traditional engineering path with opportunities in infrastructure development and construction.


    If you're interested in biotechnology and the field excites you, it could be a worthwhile choice. However, if you feel more inclined towards traditional engineering and the opportunities it presents, you might have considered civil engineering more suitable. Both fields have their merits, so it's essential to align your choice with your career aspirations and interests.

    Hope it helps..

    can I get aerospace in iiest with obc rank 12101 no home state quota

    Hello Aspirant,

    Considering you as an obc category student , the no home state quota rank acquired by you is not enough to fetch you the aerospace branch because the closing cut off rank for aerospace was around 7344 in previous year.

    Cut offs further depend on certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs and difficulty level of the examination but I would suggest you to look for other colleges as this branch in this college is not possible.

    To get more information about the cut offs  you can check out the link given below -
