Does IIEST Shibpur have a chance of becoming an IIT?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : October 18th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The Bengal Engineering College (BEC) Shibpur has a rich legacy of its own. It was unfortunate that BEC opted for the IIEST tag in 2014.

Becoming an IIT won’t be the best for IIEST Shibpur. The internal governance of IITs is completely different. Becoming one of them will be a great blow to the autonomy of IIEST. This autonomy was already compromised when the college acquired the IIEST tag.

But the chances of IIEST becoming an IIT are very faint. Bengal already has an IIT of its own, and the chances of another institute acquiring this status are negligible at present.

Is IIEST Shibpur better than College of Engineering, Pune?

SG
Sanchita Ghose Posted On : October 18th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (IIEST)

Both COEP and IIEST Shibpur are heritage colleges of India. COEP was established in 1854, and IIEST in 1856. Here are some differences between the two-

  • Location- COEP is located in the heart of Pune city. Pune will expose you to numerous opportunities that you couldn’t have otherwise accessed in small towns and cities. IIEST is located in Howrah, 15 minutes away from Kolkata city. Kolkata offers amazing food, ambiance, and exposure.
  • Research- COEP isn’t inclined towards research, and its students mostly aim for good placements. This is a drawback if you want to pursue higher studies in the future. IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges for research. In this regard, it stands just below IISc and old IITs.
  • Placements- COEP offers better placements, especially for CS/IT. The research-oriented environment of IIEST affects its placements to a certain extent. Coal India, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Texas Instruments and PwC are some of the companies that visit IIEST for placements.
  • Extracurriculars- COEP has really good extracurricular facilities. It even boasts of a boat club. IIEST Shibpur has fewer extracurricular facilities. However, since being updated to an Institute of National Importance, it has witnessed an increase in clubs, societies, and events. Some of these are- the Kolkata Comic Carnival, TEDx, and the Astronomy Club.

Both the colleges have their strengths and weaknesses. You should choose between them based on your personal preference.

Which college is better for Aerospace Engineering, IIEST Shibpur or SRM University? (Considering everything - from Faculty to Placements)

SR
Sourav Roy Posted On : March 29th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

IIEST Shibpur is a well-known institute in India. Although it has faced some challenges in recent years, it has been making progress. Aerospace Engineering is the newest department at IIEST, having been established in 2011 by branching out from the Mechanical Engineering Department. Despite being a small batch, the department has a lot of potential.

  • When it comes to faculty, IIEST has an edge over SRM. The Mechanical Department, in particular, is considered one of the premier departments at IIEST.
  • IIEST also has better laboratory and infrastructure facilities than SRM, which is important for students pursuing engineering degrees.
  • In terms of placements, both IIEST and SRM are not doing great. IIEST has the excuse of being a new player in the game, while SRM has had the department for a long time. However, IIEST does have slightly better placements than SRM.

It's important to note that ranking colleges based solely on placements is not always accurate. Research output is often a more important criterion to consider.


IIEST Shibpur has better faculty and facilities than SRM, and at a much lower cost. So, if you're looking for an Aerospace Engineering college, IIEST Shibpur is worth considering.

Is the IIEST Shibpur IT 5 year dual course better than the IIITM Gwalior IT 5 year integrated or the IIITDM Jabalpur CSE BTech?

RA
Rituparna Acharya Posted On : February 26th, 2021
Bachelor of Engineering Computer Science, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

One of my friends was a student of this institute, but he did not know about the 5 years dual degree program in IIEST Shibpur. He told me that no one even knows about this new university's dual degree course; thereby, if you love to get risks, then take admission to enter here.

Besides, he told me that he was also unaware of the reputation along with the education quality of the other two institutes. However, in IIEST Shibpur, you will get immense learning opportunities; additionally, education quality is also not bad as it is an ancient institute. Rather it improves a lot after becoming INI.

It is challenging to state which institute is better if the student doesn’t know the institute properly. Besides, it is also important to understand what is actually better as the thinking of a student.

However, you are from outside of West Bengal, then IIIT Gwalior must be the first priority, although IIEST Shibpur is a reputed institute. The faculties of IIEST Shibpur are experienced enough, but most of them are Bengali. So, preference will be given to students from West Bengal, as the home state would be a great advantage. They will be able to gain all the opportunities like communication. It is because the students from West Bengal can speak in Bengali far better way than the others.

If there is a comparison between IIIT Gwalior and Jabalpur, then the suggestion will be for IIIT Gwalior, as it offers better placement than the other. Besides, it also has vastly alleged alumni and knowledgeable faculties.
