After becoming IIEST, Shibpur, the college has moved towards 5 year's B. Tech-M. Tech Dual programme. In terms of overall time, I have spend here, I did not get a feeling that I am away from home.

Entrance Preview

I took WBJEE entrance exam in 2013, got a good rank of 913 all India rank in general category to enter IIEST, Shibpur campus. Back in 2013, this college was known as Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur and in 2014, upgraded to IIEST, Shibpur by central government of India.

Placement Experience:

Despite the low fee structure, my college provides a good placements. Almost every student of CSE Dept who sit for placement, gets the placement between 4lpa - 6lpa. Last year the highest package was ?12 lpa. ECE department has the lowest percentage of placements. And other engineering departments have between 60-70% placement. All the mentioned above is the description of in campus placement. Not many students of my college opt for out campus. But if they do, they get good placements as per the reports. In 2021 a student secured the job in Microsoft, with the placement of ?45 lpa (out campus).
