What Students Say

Likes

One of Oldest Engineering College , established in 1856. (2nd oldest Engineering College after IIT Roorkee. Lush Green Campus
ICCHE (social outreach program) really an amazing thing in IIEST
Best thing I got from IIEST is friend circle

Dislikes

Labs are too old. Most of machines are not in working condition.
Infrastructure is too old needs to renovate
Many buildings at IIEST are of no use , they need renovation and improvement, Most of area is unnecessarily occupied.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Mechanical Engineering at IIEST completed its 101 years of journey. Mostly Professors have done their B.Tech/M.Tech/Ph.D from IIEST, JU, or from IITs. Each semester consists of 2 exams, one is mid-term (30 marks), and End-tem which is 50 marks. you can't get a decent CGPA by studying just before the exam, especially for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at IIEST.

Class Size: 74Course Fees: INR 136000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

From the 7th semester, students become eligible for placements. PwC offers 25 students only in mechanical Engineering(around 10lpa CTC). Amazon offers 1.5 cr (off campus) to a mechanical Engineering Student last year. The average package was around 8Lpa last year. 80% of students got placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees per semester are around 68k/ semester but fee waivers are also there, If your family income exceeds 5 lakh you have to pay full fees. If between 1-5lakh then around 27k/semester. If below 1 lakh then around 5.5k/semester.

Campus Life

The annual fest is REBECA, recently 82nd edition of the cultural fest was done. One of the oldest Cultural and Reunion fest of IIEST Shibpur. Jubin, Arijit Singh, and Shreya Ghoshal also witnessed this grand fest in the past. In 2023 Anupam Roy, Ash King, and a few other celebrities were also there filled with enthusiastic Students. The Amenities Building is also on the campus where Reflexobeat (Dancing Club), and RoboDarshan(Robotics Club), Les Thespian(Dramatic Society) are also there for extracurricular. There is also a social Out reach program Run by students of IIEST Shibpur to bring poor children from slum areas into the mainstream.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year students having 4sharing Rooms. which consists of a bed a Table an almirah for each of the students. The hostel mess is decent, and options are fewer but the food is decent. The hostel secretary and mess manager are the student Body. In the first year, there is a restriction for a hostel in and out timings but when you arrive in 2nd year, you get all free. A 1000-seater hostel is under construction. PGs are available there at 4-5k/month but you may face problems with food if you live outside the campus and also you will miss hostel life. After all these 4 years of engineering going to be one of the happiest parts of our life.

Hostel Fee: INR 51000 per year

Admission

Admission Process:- JEE-Main followed by JOSSA/CSAB 50% of seats are reserved for Home State i.e. West Bengal. Reservation in each category GEN-EWS - 10% SC -15% ST -7.5% OBC-NCL -27% PwD -5% in every category I think IESTS should remove Home State Quota for more growth.

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

My experience about techno

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

I did not apply for any other college. I applied for colleges in josaa and the ones which were above IIEST, I considered few of them better and few due to NIRF ranking. The admission process if very simple. One will have to give jee after that they will have to apply for josaa counselling. If they have good enough rank, and they get any branch then they will be have to come to the college on the date specified by the college on their website.
