How is the IT branch at IIEST Shibpur? How are the faculty and placements related to IT branch? Is it comparable to CSE here?

IT at IIEST Shibpur can be good but you need to utilize the opportunities you get properly. The infrastructure at the institute is good. Microsoft also recruits students from campus placements. In the past students have bagged good internship opportunities. One of the students was accepted for Google California (Internship). Compared to the CSE, the IT branch is a little behind in terms of salary packages offered. However, this branch has good diversity. Faculties for CSE and IT branches are comparable and the IT department even has better faculty members for a few of the subjects. The main difference between CSE and IT is that IT is a sandwich branch of CST and Electronics. So, naturally, you will need to study some Electronics subjects too. For Communication Systems, the IT branch does not have decent faculties. Adding to that, the subject is also not that useful for the future. Despite that this subject eats a chunk of the time of IT students. Another difference is CST introduces important subjects like algorithms in the 2nd year itself. Whereas, IT introduces these topics one year later. Basically, the essence is the same for the two branches, there are some minor differences in curriculum and lab work. How you do in placements depends on your hard work.

Which is a better option, IT IIEST Shibpur or CSE at IEM?

Here is some information to assist you in choice-making- Snapdeal, Amazon, Google, etc. visit IIEST Shibpur and offer equal placement opportunities to both IT and CSE students. My roommate from IT got into Snapdeal through campus placement. IEM isn’t a well-known college. It is a local college unlike IIEST, which is an institute of national importance. The campus size of IEM is very small. Big companies don’t usually visit small colleges like IEM. The college tag has a value of its own. Besides, the opportunities and exposure offered by IIEST are immense. Thus, I would recommend you opt for IT at IIEST Shibpur.

What is a better option between IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur?

One of my friends is a local of Jharkhand. He was eligible to get into all departments and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur except CSE, and he got into the same situation where he had to choose between IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur. He chose IT at IIEST Shibpur and was satisfied with his decision. IIEST has a good campus which is given the INI tag, their seniors are also very good who motivate their juniors. In the following table, you will get information on IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur. Category IIEST Shibpur NIT Jamshedpur Fees INR 71000 INR 7.16 Lakh Recruiters BHEL, Wipro, Axis Bank, Indian Navy, Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, Google, etc. Amazon, Deloitte, Bajaj Auto, Wipro Turbo, Vedanta, etc. Lowest package INR 2.53 LPA INR 3 LPA Highest package INR 40 LPA INR 30 LPA Completed with a good campus, great seniors, and recently been given the INI tag, it has the energy and enthusiasm to excel and the Director of IIEST is a great person. He works hard to improve the place. Many of my friends study at NIT Jamshedpur. It has a good infrastructure but not in better condition. Newly constructed hostels at NIT are also good. But officials of NIT are not promising. Therefore, IIEST Shibpur is a better choice as it will give you many opportunities and give you a better experience.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below – It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain. IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software. If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT. But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline. IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects. Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job. Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system. Categories IT at IIEST Shibpur EC from SVNIT Course Fee 1.55 lakhs 5.47 lakhs Highest CTC 42 LPA 17.5 LPA Average CTC 18 LPA 8 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, ZS Associates etc. Amazon, Adobe, JP Morgan, IBM, etc. If you are really interested in EC then choose SVNIT. But if you are interested in coding and that is the job you want, then definitely IIEST, Shibpur should be your primary choice.

Is IT in IIEST Shibpur better than Electrical at NIT Durgapur based on placements?

I have a friend at IIEST Shibpur and here is his insight on the IT placements at the institute. The placement statistics at IT in IIEST are excellent. The esteemed companies that are recruiters for IT include PwC, Veritas, HSBC, Microsoft, Adobe, TCS, CTS, Wipro, Infosys, etc. You will be offered internships in your 3rd year. The major recruiters in IIEST are IT companies. Therefore, from the IT department, the majority of students are able to receive placements except for a few. Here is the highlight of recent placement statistics at the institutes. Institute IT at IIEST Electrical at NIT Durgapur Average CTC 8 LPA 8 LPA Highest CTC 42 LPA 20 LPA Major recruiters Microsoft, Mentor Graphics, Google TCS, Adobe, JP Morgan Hope this gives you some idea about placements for IT at IIEST and Electrical at NIT Durgapur.

Can I get into the IT branch in IIEST Shibpur with a JEE Mains rank of 27.5k and an outside state?

IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India. As it is one of the most wanted engineering colleges, the closing rank for IIEST is expected to be quite steep. For B.Tech Information Technology, the recent cutoff for outside and home state students at IIEST were as follows. Home State - 11084 - 13249 Outer State - 9524 - 17031 This is for the general category students. So, there’s a thin chance that you will get admission at IIEST IT. However, you should not lose hope as the stats may change after every round. For more details regarding cutoff, you can visit their official website.

I liked the fee structure too being affordable and feasible for many and people being considerate, like they really try to help and motivate. The campus has good social interactions and there are many clubs for students.

All the years we need to pay same fees based on your yearly income and Reservation Quota. They provide two-third waivers to those whose annual income is less than 5,00,000 and Full Waiver to those whose annual income is less than 1,00,000. These waivers are only applicable for Tuition fees and everything is included in it Lab fees, Registration fees. Mine is in two-third waiver which is I need to pay 26,333 each semester and others with Quota(SC,ST) or less than 1,00,000 need to pay 5500 each semester, rest without any waiver need to ay 68,000. Also, there is annual Alumni Scholarship Awards, Gaabesu which includes both for Academics and Research. The Hostel fee is compulsory near about 50,000 for two semesters.

You will be paying 201000 rupees per year if you are a general/OBC category student having annual family income more than 500000. 2/3rd tuition fee waiver is given to those having family income less than 500000. Full tuition fee waiver is given to SC, ST and PwD candidates irrespective of income. Hostel maintainance fees is 4000 and mess charges 17500. Rupees 3000 is taken as caution money every semester. GAABESU alumni scholarship provided to students need based. But You have to pay fees of one student after you start earning.
