A Review of IIEST Shibpur

The course curriculum is standard and is relevant to the latest industry requirements which is very helpful for the students.

IIEST Shibpur charges nearly Rs 68000 per semester for B.TECH courses without any waiver. Two types of fee waivers are available 2/3 waiver and and full waiver. If the family income of the student is less than 1 lac per year then he/she gets a full waiver and has to pay only Rs 5000 per semester and if between 1lacs and 5 lacs per year then he/she can opt for a 2/3rd waiver and has to pay around Rs 27000 per semester. By default, the students belonging to the SC and ST categories will get a full waiver. The semester fees include tuition fees, examination fees, lab fees, and all other charges during a semester excluding the hostel fees.
