IIEST Shibpur All Questions

Hello satyam,

Iiest shibpur is one of top colleges of west bengal with nirf ranking 19 in engineering colleges all over india.

The placements are OK. The highest package offered to the students of the CSE stream is 12 LPA which is a good package to start with. The placements are improving every year as it belongs to an INI the standards of IITs and NITs.

Day by day everything is improving both faculty and course circulum is being updated.

Hi,

The funding from the central government to IIEST is at par with the older IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kgp, Kanpur). JU in comparison gets a fraction of that amount from state government.

Better funding translates into better halls/hostels, labs, Internet facilities, Library, Faculty and Infrastructure in general. Hence + 1 to IIEST w.r.t to Funding.

In the recently published MHRD rankings IIEST is ranked at 20A and it is better than JU. See the following- MHRD, National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF), 

Thus, +1 to IIEST

Academically, IIEST is in the process of employing best teachers across the country as both salary and independence of choosing research projects are going to be more in a central institute. Please refer to - Recruitment of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor ( Advt. No. OC/D (AA)/15/34, 9th Oct, 2015) , Hence +1 to IIEST in terms of faculty/research quality.

Students at IIEST come from all over India, thus you can expect a rich cultural and social diversity at campus unlike JU, which is a state run university and admits students from WB mostly. +1 to IIEST

Placement in IIEST is getting better every passing year. In fact IIEST has already signed a MOU with CII in order to attract many more core engineering companies , read this : IIEST upbeat on industry link-up.

IIEST is going to host the first of its kind TEDx eventat in eastern India and regularly hosts an array of events giving the students both academic and industry exposure. Get more updates here: TEDxIIESTShibpur | TED.com

If you want to pursue higher studies, the brand name of an "Indian Institute" will serve you better.

Hello Satyam, 

I think you should go with the iiest shibpur with the CSE branch, As the trends the scope of computer science brance is higher than any other branch, all these scenario happen due to fast moving digital India and you should not worry about the college.

All the best.

Hi Archi,

Based on the last three years i.e. 2016, 2017 and 2018 cutoff ranks for IIEST, Shibpur, it is not possible for you to get admission.

Hi

According to previous year cutoffs at IIEST Shibpur, with a rank of 22,500(OBC-NCL) in JEE Mains 2019 unfortunately you cannot get any branch under Other State Quota.

But if we see under Home State Quota, the closing ranks were higher for Civil Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering. So only these are the possibilities for you under Home State Quota.

Best of Luck.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Hi

First of all, IIEST Shibpur takes admission only through JEE Mains Rank and not WBJEE Rank.

Further, according to previous year cutoffs at Jadavpur University, the closing rank for SC Category under Home State Quota in Electronics & Communication Engineering was 43844 in 2018. So, with a rank of 30k you can easily get Electronics & Communication Engineering at Jadavpur University. Though you cannot get ECE at IIEST Shibpur with your WBJEE Rank.

Best of Luck.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
