A Review of IIEST Shibpur

Likes

The professors are mostly PhD holders and are highly experienced in teaching and mentoring students .They also guide the students during any technical events happening within the campus or externally.
The location of IIEST shibpur campus is good and the campus is well maintained. There are two main sports ground ,a gymnasium ,guest house, basketball court, hospital and various other facilities.
The course curriculum is standard and is relevant to the latest industry requirements which is very helpful for the students.

Dislikes

The number of companies visiting the IIEST shibpur campus is decreasing every year significantly but the placement cell of the college hardly bothers about it. The NIRF ranking has also gone down in the recent years.

Placement Experience:

The placement record of IIEST Shibpur is good however it has deteriorated during the last two years. The students are eligible for internships from the third year and placements from the final year of the course. Companies like Microsoft, Google, PWC, Tata Steel, and Texas Instruments are some that visit our campus. The average package is around 12 lacs per annum and this year the highest package offered to a student is around 3.5 Cr per annum (off-campus placement ) by Barclays UK.

The best part about IIEST shibpur is being a 2nd oldest engineering college of our Nation, it is having its historical remains of that period.
The lush green campus, being a best thing to roam around .
College emphasize more on research works, helping students to visit Germany after third year for higher studies (T and C are there).

Dislikes

The old infrastructure (historic remains)
Lack of sports coaching and coaches for every sports.
College don't focus on placements much (but also placement are good enough), if they start focusing on this then placement will become more awesome.

Placement Experience:

Placements are good, rather than college don't allows 6 months internship then also placements are one of the good aspect of IIEST shibpur, This year (ongoing placement) off campus offer of 3.5 Crore is given to a student, the average placement till last yr was around 11.5 lakhs per annum.

Review of Indian institute of engineering science and technology, Shibpur

Likes

The college has a large campus size. considering the surrounding areas are really congested, relative to that the college has a large campus area.
Good sports facilities are there if one is interested in sports, various kinds of competitions, fests, departmental fests, annual college cultural fest take place in the even semester.
Selective teachers actually teach well and are helpful.

Dislikes

College doesn't have enough hostel accomodation to accommodate all the students, forcing many students to commute daily or to take up flats nearby the college at a high cost as PGs aren't available nearby.
Students residing in the flats nearby have to arrange everything ranging from food to stay to necessary furnitures themselves. Also the food that is available nearby isn't good, it's unhealthy and not advisable for daily intake.
The college has their own canteen too which serve okay-ish food and are slightly overpriced. The college is located in an odd location hence if someone wants to commute they have to do break journey, surrounding areas are really congested and dirty.

Placement Experience:

Students get eligible for placements in the 4th year. They are eligible to appear for internships from the 3rd year. The highest package remains around 50lpa. The average package remains somewhere around 10lpa. About 80-85% strength get placed. Companies offering high packages include Microsoft, ibm, Uber , Texas instruments, Google etc. companies like Accenture, tata steel, Aditya Birla group, PWC etc offer packages of medium range. I plan to get a decent enough placement after my degree.

I appreciate my course structure. Professors in our department are very experienced. The average package of my course is 14 LPA.

Dislikes

I didn't like the infrastructure of my college. It is worst infrastructure I have ever seen. Most of the buildings in our college are built during British rule.

Except for my department most of the professors don't speak english.

After 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. There are lot of companies which visit the college but most percentage of the jobs are offered by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, Reliance, Wipro etc. the average package in my department during 2024 campus placements is 14 LPA and the highest package is 39 LPA in campus placements and 83 LPA in off campus placements. More than 80 Percent of the students are placed every year. I plan to write Gate and do MBA after getting my degree.

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.
