the hostels are very old and mess food is kind of oof but they are improving and new hostels are building over all the infra is progressing

Hostel Facilities:

they gave a bed, a desk, a chair, fans and four leds in each room.meal quality is pretty decent we are getting lots of non veg and veg option with almost everyday you are getting a non veg optioon which then cancelled out with sweets and curd , the brakefast and dinner are pretty good but lunch is pretty of sometimes other then that it is also good. registration process is very simple after admission you get a hostel alloted which then you can directly live in with just some signature in the hostel booklet. the rooms and mess are very affordable. but the hostel are very old and dirty some hostel have been coloured entirely and some are still as it is waiting for the completee constrruction of the new hostel that will accomodate 1000 students.

IIEST ROCKS

Hostel Facilities:

The room is provided with two ceiling fans and 4 bed and 4 almirah (for boys) and 5 beds and 5 almirah(for 1st yr girls). Meal is not that good. The hostel are very affordable. Cost of living in pg is much more compared to living in hostel. It is fine if you rent a room or a pg but you will miss all the fun that goes on inside the college.

Is IIEST Shibpur safe at a hostel?

Vikas JunejaStudied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

Here are some details regarding safety at the boys’ hostels of IIEST Shibpur-

The security at hostel entrances makes sure no non-resident enters the premises without permission.
The hostel rooms have a door and window, and both of these have latches from the inside.
You’ll have to bring your own door lock and share the keys with other roommates.
Menial thefts are quite common within the hostels. Take care of your stuff like toothpaste, bucket, washing powder, mirror, etc.
Mobile and Laptop thefts are unheard of, but it is better to be cautious.
The electric boards are earthed, and thus safe.

This is some basic information regarding your query. The boys’ hostels at IIEST are as safe as most college hostels. You’ll have to be a bit cautious about your personal belongings though.

How are IIEST, Shibpur's hostels and placements?

Tathoi BanerjeeStudied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (IIEST)

IIEST Shibpur hostel facilities aren’t too good. In the first year, students are allotted four sharing rooms. The rooms aren’t in great condition. Basic facilities such as 24*7 wifi facilities are there.

IIEST Shibpur placements are great. During the 2022 placement drive, 1022 companies took part in the campus placements. Highest CTC offered during the campus placement was INR 45 LPA.

Does IIEST Shibpur provide single occupancy hostel rooms for a BTech first year student?

Sulagna PalitB.Tech Civil Engineering & Mathematics, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2020)

No, first-year B.Tech students do not get a single occupancy hostel room. In fact, no government-funded Institute of National Importance will provide you a single occupancy room or AC room at least in the first year.

The institute has 4 hostels, 3 boys and 1 girl, for first-year students where no senior is allowed to enter.
All rooms in the boys hostels have to be shared by 4 students while in the girls’ hostel there are two types of rooms; one with 3 students and the other with 4 students sharing.
The rooms are allotted on a random basis with an emphasis on giving students from the same department to share the rooms.

The rooms are very clean and if you keep them that way, then you won’t have any problem. The rooms are spacious enough as well. In the first and second year sharing rooms will eventually make your group studies more fun. In the third and fourth year, only you will get single occupancy rooms.

How is the hostel life in IIEST Shibpur?

Anirban DuttaB.E. Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

According to some of my friends who stayed in hostels, it is amazing. A diverse culture is experienced here. You make bonds for a lifetime. From preparing for exams one night before to discussing various miscellaneous topics to roaming in college to going for night outs, all the things are enjoyed by the students thoroughly. Also, the campus is filled with greenery that provides hostellers an edge to feel the freshness of nature.

If you join IIEST along with the hostel, you live your life creating many unforgettable memories that you can cherish forever.

Apart from the fun and frolic that takes place, there are certain rules and regulations that everyone has to follow.
There is a time for every student that they cannot go outside campus after 10 pm and girls have to report to their hostel by 11 pm.
But there are no such restrictions for boys to roam inside the campus or hall.
Any sort of ragging and violence is strictly banned in the college.

But we can say that the hostel life at IIEST prepares you for all the real-life challenging situations in your future ahead. So if you want to be an IIESTian, get ready for the exciting days that you have in your college.

How is the hostel life in Sen Hall, IIEST Shibpur?

Praveen RoyB.E. from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2017)

There are several reviews about the Sen Hall of IIEST Shibpur from students who have spent their years in the hostel, stating the advantages and disadvantages. The points listed below give a brief idea about the kind of facilities and standard of living in the Sen hall.

Separate rooms are allotted for every student resident. There are enough facilities provided inside every room, including a tube light, a bed, a table, a fan, an almirah, and a chair. Students can also use more than one almirah or table if they get one free lying across any corner of the hostel.
There are arrangements for several indoor games, including carom and table tennis. The Sen hall also has a garden, where students can play short-pitch cricket or badminton.
In the Sen hall, there is a good senior-junior relationship, where 3rd and 4th years stay. No report of ragging is evident from the Sen hall.
The mess food is quite good, with the presence of supportive and caring mess staff. Students get to eat Biryani twice or thrice a month.
The mess manager is allotted every month, which consists of both 3rd and 4th-year students. So, both the batches can decide the menu for the entire month.
Since 2016, the provision of breakfast has been included in the mess.
There are arrangements for common TVs, English and Bengali newspapers of several types, magazines, and employment news articles.
The mess staff and hostel caretakers are very polite and helpful.
Every year, there is a fresher’s party and a farewell party organized for the 3rd and 4th years respectively.

This is an overall view of the circumstance and events happening at the Sen hall in IIEST Shibpur.

Is the hostel in IIEST Shibpur mandatory?

Harshita SinhaB.E from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2020)

No. It is not mandatory. The college allows you to have full freedom on whether you want to live in the hotel or outside. If someone has a problem with hostel life he/she can stay outside. But if you do not take hostels for a year you are going to miss a lot of things in life.

The main crux of college life lies in a hostel and it is better to join the hostel for the first 2 years. Also, it is easier to maintain the 8–5 classes from hostels and after the whole day tiring classes you can hang with your friends, play on the two grounds or go to the gym.

Is Wi-Fi is available at the IIEST Shibpur hostel?

Nabarun GhantiB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

On papers, there is. Each floor has a Wi-Fi router or sometimes 2 Wi-Fi routers installed for the students and also there is 1 JAXB Wi-Fi installed at a common point amidst all the hostels for common access.

But in reality, you would consider yourself lucky if you are in rooms like 01, 03 or 10, 11. These are the extreme most rooms on each floor and get good Wi-Fi connections with decent speed. If you get a room near to the router you might get a speed around 5mbps or sometimes even 10mbps with an average speed of 2mbps. But if you are not, then you have to depend on luck. Only when others are not using, you might get some decent speed around 1mbps.

Moreover, the college Wi-Fi blocks many sites. For example, you can’t open YouTube, till the afternoon. The library and departmental Wi-Fi are far better than the hostel ones. Sometimes, the CS and Chemistry dept. WiFi download speed reaches 100mbps.

How is the infrastructure (hostel rooms and common rooms and mess facilities) at IIEST Shibpur?

Chandrani GhoseB.Tech from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

IIEST Shibpur offers a good infrastructure to its students. Discussed below are various facilities available at the campus.

Air Conditioning: It is as per the departments to whom they supply air-conditioners. Some possess ACs in classrooms, some in labs while some in offices. This varies with the department. None of these is provided in the first year.

Sports:

The sports department is pretty good with two good grounds and an athletics department, with people trained in sports science.
Each hall as well as the hostel has its arrangements for Table Tennis and carrom. In many halls, arrangements exist for badminton and TT. No pool table is provided.
There are tournaments for football and cricket. And there is the athletics day and various sporting tournaments organized by different halls of residence.
There are two sports grounds named Lords and Oval which are of excellent quality. Even CAB ( Cricket Association of Bengal ) has expressed their interest in them.

Culture: The student culture is about to change as IIEST will take students from JEE Main or even Advance. Quite some time ago, the school always had a good share of other state students which was considered quite large for a government institute.

Campus: The campus is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in India and there are tons to explore. Seeing everything here needs at least a minimum of 2 years.

Flooding: The place gets regular rainfall due to The Botanical gardens. Yet, flooding is not a problem, usually.

These are the facilities that you can expect at IIEST Shibpur. Hope it was helpful.

Which hostels are given to M.Tech students in IIEST Shibpur and how are the rooms?

Niharika SinghStudied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

For M.tech students the hostels are provided as per the distance of their homes. Male candidates would get a downing hall of residence, Hostel 15 and then PG. Hostel 15 is quite spacious and you will be getting beautiful scenarios outside the hostel. The downing hall is a bit congested as more number of students are accommodated in one hall. PG hostel is similar to hostel 15 only it is bit congested but it is better than downing hall. You will get PG hostel in the second year you will get Downing hall and hostel 15 in your first year. For female candidates the accommodation is given at Sister Nivedita hall.

You will get a bed, locker, and table individually in each room. There are a total of 11 rooms on each floor. Each floor has got 2 hi speed wifi routers. Some hostels also have paid canteens. There is an RO water cooler in the mess. Overall the hostels are pretty good considering it is a government college. You will also be sharing rooms with B.tech students.
