IIEST Shibpur B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST) offers admissions based on merit through the JEE Main exam, followed by a counseling process on the JOSAA site. Confirmation occurs after the seventh round of counseling, with document verification at the institute. The faculty is experienced and supportive but faces a poor faculty-student ratio of 94:1, leading to some teaching challenges. Students undergo frequent exams every 1.5 months in well-equipped labs.

Educational fees for general students are 66,000 INR per semester, with an additional 4,500 INR for other costs, while certain categories are exempt from educational fees. Placement opportunities are robust, with top companies like Microsoft, Tata Steel, and Amazon offering jobs and internships. The highest recorded salary package is 55 LPA, with an average of 12 LPA, and more than 90% of students secure jobs in top companies. Paid internships are available from the 3rd year, with a significant percentage leading to pre-placement offers.

IIEST supports students with a strong alumni network and industry connections. Scholarships like the GAABESU and others provide financial aid, offering full or partial tuition waivers depending on family income. The total academic fee for four years is about INR 5 lakh, with additional hostel and mess fees. The institute maintains a strong placement cell, achieving over 130 annual placements, comparable to other top engineering institutions.
