IIEST- Review

Likes

The greenery around the campus, the fests and there are dustbins installed after every few metres that helps to keep the campus clean.
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.
The professors and the lab assistants, they give their best to uplift the students and encourage them. Infrastructure of the Main Building is also decent. Labs have PCs and good internet connection.

Dislikes

The administration is a bit slow and we get things delayed that becomes problematic many a times.
I don't personally like the mess food and washrooms are unhygienic many a times.
Their is a lot of old heritage to be restored, till now no action has be taken. But once it is done it would be a great to explore.

Placement Experience:

Placements were great for the 2023 batch but after that from the last year due to recession very few companies came to college and this year 2024, it is even worse than that. At least if 6-month internships were granted it can be better. But, the tech companies like Microsoft, Google also comes on-campus to IIEST.

Comprehensive Review on IIEST SHIBPUR

Likes

The faculty at IIEST SHIBPUR is very experienced and research oriented. They are very helpful in providing everything that the student needs. They are very approachable for any form of academic doubts
The diversity of students and IIEST SHIBPUR is commendable. We have students from all over India engaging in all types of activities. THE DIVERSE CONNECTIONS YOU WILL FIND HERE IS UNMATCHED.
The campus life is vibrant and happening. We host the largest technical fest in Kolkata. And one of the oldest cultural fests Rebecca. All the departments hold their respective technical fests and events.

Dislikes

The hostels are old and dipidated. The mess food is not up to the mark. Mini buildings are in shabby and poor condition due to the lack of renovation. Many of the things are not properly well maintained like bathrooms, water cooler etc.
Despite having all the necessary infrastructure many of the research labs are in heavy condition due to the lack of funds. Sometimes the professors do research only for the sake of doing research and for getting funds.
Getting things done through the academic and administrative procedure can be quite hectic. For example getting a letter of recommendation or a past for applying to a foreign internship of 3 months and so on.

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. There are large number of core and non core companies visiting the campus like Google Microsoft Texas instruments Deloitte Morgan Stanley Goldman Sachs etc The highest package was 55 lpa and the average package is 14 to 15 lpa. Almost all of the students get placed and few of them go into research and higher studies. After getting the degree I will give gate and seek job options in various PSU.

IIEST Shibpur: 1 Answered Question

What is your review about IIEST, Shibpur?

Subhashree ModakIndian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2017)

One of my friends is a final-year student at IIEST Shibpur. According to him, the placement last year has been great. Microsoft IDC (PPO), Mentor Graphics, CESC Ltd (PPO), Tata Steel (PPO), Bentley Systems completed their recruitment process on campus and hired more candidates than they did last year. Companies like Atlassian, Samsung R&D, and PwC are also expected to recruit on campus. A brief discussion about placements and other aspects of the institute are as follows.

Placements:

Pre-final year students got internship offers from various firms like Microsoft R&D, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, and Texas Instruments this year. Other firms which will be having on-campus recruitment will most likely be hiring interns also. Hence, needless to mention that the placement scenario has continued its trend of improvement this year as well.
Students have been hired in companies like Microsoft IDC, Cognizant, Samsung R&D, Infosys, TCS Research and Innovation, Z. S. Associates, etc. from campus placements. Off-campus placements also include Google (Bangalore).
The median salary that has been offered is around 7 LPA and every one of the scholars participating in placements got placed. The placement cell improved and has become more proactive and efficient in training and placement of scholars.

Infrastructure:

All departments, libraries and hostels are Wi-Fi enabled with decent speeds. The Science and Technology Department features a 1Gigabit backbone network.
The rooms and labs are well maintained and have all the specified equipment. The central library is not extremely big but features a good assortment of useful titles. There are smaller departmental libraries also.
The hostels are decent and clean but might be improved. They need indoor game facilities also. A replacement hostel for women has just been built and features a far better review.
There are multiple canteens on Campus serving good quality food at reasonable rates and a CCD stall with significantly cheaper rates than usual.
Other amenities include Gymnasium, Sports fields, Court and Infirmary.

Faculty:

The college consists of highly qualified and knowledgeable teachers. They clear the doubts if consulted. Most teachers teach using both chalkboard and multimedia aids.
There are multiple teachers and other lab assistants to guide the students during the lab classes.
The course curriculum is aligned with most other national institutions and contains the essential topics necessary for the course.

The campus is lush green and located on the bank of the river Ganges. Right beside the institute is Botanical Gardens. Many events take place at the institute all year around. There are annual Techno-Management fest Instruo, Annual Cultural fests Rebecca and Anuranan, and departmental fests. Besides that, there are also sports events. Meritorious students can avail scholarships sponsored by the Alumni Association.
