Hi Ruchika. Hope you are doing well

Since you have mentioned your obc rank I am expecting you to be an obc ncl (non creamy layer )candidate. According to the homestate cutoffs of 2019, NIT Durgapur CSE closed for male candidates at 13k (obc ncl rank) and for female  candidates at 19k .  For IIEST Shibpur ,it closed for male candidates at 13k and for female candidates at 17k approx.  So, you will able to secure a seat in any of the  two colleges according to your preference.

Best wishes


Hello,

NIT Durgapur has marginally bigger highest package and average package but IIEST has greater median package which is of greater value . Placement percentages are more or less same . IIEST just became an Indian institute under the central government in 2014 while NIT came under central goverment in early 2000s.

I hope that helps you to make a wiser decision. Rest, the success in any field depends upon your own quest to knowledge, hard work & networking skills.      All the best for your future endeavors.




Hello aspirant.  Both are very good college.  But according to recent ranking by nirf iiest shibpur ki ranked top 20 college of India. So you can choose it. But if you want alumni network which is more of old college then go for nit jamshedpur.

Hey,

Though the official cut-off marks of Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur for this year hasn't released till now, we have to use previous year's cut-off details in this regard. You can also check it from the following websites:

https://dqxeclau.top/university/indian-institute-of-engineering-science-and-technology-shibpur/cut-off

https://dqxeclau.top/university/indian-institute-of-engineering-science-and-technology-shibpur

So after analysing the article provided in the previous link, I guess it becomes quite clear for you that if you want to get chance in the topmost departments like Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics and Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, then you've to secure almost 15-20k rank in India in JEE MAIN 2020. But if you are happy with the bottom-listed departments of this college like Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering etc then 45-50k rank in JEE MAIN would be sufficient for you. So it's completely your choice.

You can also use Careers360 JEE MAIN college predictor tool in this regard:

Hope thess informations would be quite beneficial for you.

All the best !!!

Hello,

Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra and India Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur both are one of the best college in India. IIEST has been given the status of an "Institute of National Importance".  But every colleges have there own pros and cons.

If we consider in terms of placement, infrastructure then BIT Mesra will be better than IIEST. And we go for faculty and fees then IIEST will be good .

Good luck!!

see st Thomas college of engineering is a private college under maulana abul kalam ajad university of technology, kolkata. where IIEST shivpur is centralized institute and comes under government college. IIEST college is far more better than st thomas college or any other private colleges in west bengal. iiest shivpur comes under top two colleges in west bengal after jadavpur university, kolkata. college has excellent placement record , excellent Infrastructure , students teacher ratio.

hope it would help.

Dear Aspirant,

Considering you as a general Category students,your rank might be around 46k -36k based on your percentile. According to this rank you have no or very less chances of getting iiest shibpur. So it's better if you try for state councelling,you will get better college there also you might get Nits in some lower branches.

Also please use our college predictor tool to predict the colleges based on your rank:

Dear aspirant,

Every year Wbjee exam is taken for admission to various colleges in West Bengal.In which only 5% seats  are for other state students and rest of the seats are for west bengal domiciled candidates and for getting in those colleges like Jadavpur University you are required to produce domiciled certificate of west bengal and caste certificate of west bengal. Now coming to your query IIEST Shibpur takes admission through Jee mains and not through Wbjee so for getting admission to IIEST you did not require domicile certificate of west bengal but you require caste certificate.

Hope this helps.

Hello, both colleges are good, government colleges and most importantly are highly ranked.
They are highly ranked in Nirf ranking.
In my opinion you should go for NIT Durgapur Cs branch as Cs/ It are top branches and  as Nit Durgapur is a Nit, the Nit tag will always help you.

Nits have great infrastructure and placements and Nit Durgapur is a top Nit.
Also, Cs is good then It branch. And as you have mentioned for preparation for GATE you will find good opportunity for studies in it

College Infrastructure

It has moderate infrastructure not too good like other nits, like the spirit of Kolkata it is having old vibes as well as new developments. Classes of electrical are fully equipped with ACs and fans, green board and projector also. Machine Lab will give you old vibe, it has machines of 100 years old and all functional, well maintained. While the electronic labs are new(Not that old of machine lab). Sports : All the sports can be available in a college is there. hostels are fully equipped with wifi, washing machine, both type of washrooms and well maintained. Library is of both type E-library and normal library both comprised in single building. There is computer center is also in that building for online exams. and all the rooms in library is fully AC equipped. Not all books but all the books which are required for academic is there.

Good college with rich heritage.

College Infrastructure

My college have all necessary infrastructure, facilities and all. Lab and classrooms are good. Hostels are good but need improvement. New hostels now under construction. And Very Wifi all around the campus.

Iiest shibpur-quality education strong placements

College Infrastructure

Infrastructure is not that much good to give it the fame of Institute of national importance. Several schools have very good infrastructure than this Institute. Being centralised, it has been 10 years now, the infrastructure is not improved yet.
