Dear Student,

IIEST ( Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology ), Shibpur has a total of 9 multi-seated and 5 single-seated boys hostels.

D. Banerjee Hall (Hostel 8) and IIEST Shibpur (Hostel 10) are the two hostels for 1st year UG students . Here you will not get single room .The rooms are big enough to have 4 students.

Food is very good in these hostels. And also the facilities like parks , common room and dining room in these hostels are very nice. Electricity management is good. Fr om 3rd year onwards students have choice to take single rooms.

Hope this helps.

Hi Aspirant!

The first basis to compare the college is on NIRF Ranking and on that basis NIT Durgapur is at 47 position while IIEST Shibpur is at 21 position.So on the basis of NIRF Ranking IIEST is better.

Now the second parameter is placement and on that basis NIT Durgapur has median package of 6 Lakhs while IIEST has 4.5 lakhs median package.Hence on that basis NIT Durgapur is better.

But here is one thing to note that IIEST Shibpur will provide you more opportunity that NIT Durgapur because it is good in every aspect as it has better NIRF ranking.And if a student will get good opportunity then they will automatically bring good placement.

Hence you should choose IIEST Shibpur, but the end decision is yours.

I hope it helps.

Happy Hustling

I believe you should take pursue Electrical at IIEST Shibpur. IIEST is one of the Oldest Technical Institutes with excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities. As far as Electrical Engineering is concerned, most of the Top Companies, especially in Core like Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Infosys, Cognizant, CESC, Tata Power, Vedanta, Samsung, Qualcomm and several other Recruiters visit the campus. Besides this IIEST has an excellent history of students give GATE and GRE and moving abroad or to higher technical institutes like Top IITs and IISc Bangalore for Masters or Doctoral Degree. This tells you about the rich culture and peer environment in the institute.

Hi Aspirant,

IIEST Shibpur is far better college than NIT Raipur. As per NIRF Ranking, 2020, NIT Raipur stands at 61st position whereas IIEST Shibpur stands at 21st position.

In the terms of placements, by a notch IIEST Shibpur is better than NIT Raipur, especially for the CSE, ECE, EEE Branches. IIEST Shibpur is famous for Aeronautical and Aerospace branches of engineering.

All the best.

Hello,

Comparing both the Institutes there's no doubt that IIEST has an upper hand compared to NIT Raipur.

In NIT Raipur around 60-80 students get placed in ECE department. The average Salary being around 6 lacs. The Major recruiting companies are basically software companies. Very few core companies visit the campus.

In IIEST Shibpur IT department was the Highest recruited department in 2019. The percentage of students getting placed is around 88% in IT department. The average salary package is around 5 lakhs.

NIT does have brand value but IIEST is no less. It has a NIRF ranking better than that of NIT Raipur and the placement chances of IT department is better than that of ECE. Also you should choose the department which you have the most interest in. If you're interested in ECE then go for NIT and if you're interested in IT then go for IIEST. Both the institutes are really nice and guarantee a decent chance during placements.

Hello
ramakrishnaeswar100 , From some research on internet I found that IIEST SHIBPUR is a good college because it has less fess with good placement and if we talk about infrastructure then both colleges are same in infrastructure.

Hope it will be helpful for you :)

Hello aspirant, as you mentioned that percentile in JEE mains 2020 is 94.55. I am assuming you belong to general category as you have not specified it.

According to the previous year's cutoff trend you don't have a chance of getting into the colleges you have mentioned. Unfortunately, these are colleges won't be available for you.
