Entrance Preview
I took the WBJEE in 2011 and my rank was 1413. I opted for Civil Engineering in IIEST Shibpur because this subject seemed pretty fascinating to me and IIEST Shibpur had one of the best civil engineering programs.
Course Curriculum Overview
The 1st year coursework was a common one for all departments. The remaining three years was a combination of RCC design, steel design, environmental engineering, water resources, etc. The course curriculum was definitely interesting with plenty of scope for practical work.
Internships Opportunities
This being the core industry, we didn't get any stipend during the internship. However, the learning experience was very good since there was a lot of field work involved.
Placement Experience
For our batch 2007-2011, almost everyone was placed in core companies like IOCL, DCPL, JUSCO, MBECL, Shapoorji Pallonji , Larsen and Toubro, etc. The remaining chose to go for higher studies. The average package offered was 4lakhs per annum.
College Events
The two main events that took place then were INSTRUO ( the techfest) and REBECA( the cultural fest). There is always some or the other seminar taking place as well.
Fees and Financial Aid
There are a few merit cum means scholarships available.
Alumni/Alumna
The alumni network is spread all over the world and wherever you work you will find someone from here.
Exam Structure
Semester exams took place every six months. In-between we had midsemester exams which counted for 15% of the semester marks.
Faculty
The majority of the faculty is very good and extremely approachable. This being the oldest department of this institute, it has the best professors who not only know their subjects but also leave no stone unturned to explain it to you.
