Hello,

Based on your SC category rank of 7,400 in JEE Main 2025, it might be difficult to get Mechanical Engineering at IIEST Shibpur . Last year, the closing rank for SC candidates from other states in Mechanical Engineering was around 6,706.

However, you can still consider other good colleges where your rank may be sufficient. Institutes like NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya, or IIITs in newer locations often have higher closing ranks for SC category students. It's a good idea to check the previous year's cutoffs for these colleges to see where you might have a chance.

Also, keep an eye on the counselling rounds, as sometimes seats become available in later rounds.

You can use our JEE Main College Predictor tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score.

Best of luck with your admissions!

With 76.31 percentile (SC, Female, West Bengal) in JEE Main 2025 , your SC category rank is likely above 35,000 .

Chance in Central Govt Colleges:

  • IIEST Shibpur : Low chance for CSE/IT; possible in Mining or Civil.

  • NIT Durgapur (Home State) : Tough for top branches; Civil or lower branches may be possible.

  • Newer IIITs/GFTIs : Some chances in lower branches depending on cutoff trends.

What to Do:

  • Register for JoSAA counselling.

  • Fill as many choices as possible (include low-demand branches).

  • Keep checking official cutoffs.

Official JoSAA Website for Counselling & Cutoffs (https://josaa.nic.in)

To get admission to the Civil Engineering program at IIEST Shibpur with a 77 percentile in JEE Main under the SC category, let's analyze the previous year's cutoff trends.


Cutoff Trends:

In 2024, the cutoff rank for SC category students in Civil Engineering at IIEST Shibpur was 9270 for home-state candidates and 8382 for other-state candidates.¹ In 2023, the cutoff rank was 6637 for home-state candidates and 7227 for other-state candidates.


Admission Chances:

Considering your 77 percentile score, which translates to a rank around 50000-60000 (approximate), your chances of getting admission to the Civil Engineering program at IIEST Shibpur under the SC category are relatively low.


However, since the cutoff ranks can vary from year to year, it's essential to keep an eye on the official website for the latest updates and cutoff information.


Recommendations:

1. Check the official website: Regularly visit the IIEST Shibpur website for the latest admission updates and cutoff information.

2. Counseling: Participate in the counseling process to increase your chances of admission.

3. Other options: Consider other colleges or branches that may have lower cutoff ranks.


Best of luck with your admission!

Choosing between Biotechnology and Civil Engineering depends on your interests and career goals. Biotechnology can offer exciting opportunities in research, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, especially if you're passionate about biological sciences and innovation in life sciences. Civil Engineering, on the other hand, provides a more traditional engineering path with opportunities in infrastructure development and construction.


If you're interested in biotechnology and the field excites you, it could be a worthwhile choice. However, if you feel more inclined towards traditional engineering and the opportunities it presents, you might have considered civil engineering more suitable. Both fields have their merits, so it's essential to align your choice with your career aspirations and interests.

Hope it helps..

Hello Aspirant,

Considering you as an obc category student , the no home state quota rank acquired by you is not enough to fetch you the aerospace branch because the closing cut off rank for aerospace was around 7344 in previous year.

Cut offs further depend on certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs and difficulty level of the examination but I would suggest you to look for other colleges as this branch in this college is not possible.

hlwo aspirant

hope you are doing well

. both colleges are equally good in terms of academics. The faculty is well-qualified and cooperative in both NIT raipur and IIEST Shibpur with a slight difference.

As per the NIT Raipur placements BTech course in Computer Science & Engineering is best because of the maximum number of offers. so if you are interested in cs then go for nit raipur

if you are interested in research then IIEST Shibpur is best for you. But lastly, your efforts to develop skills in yourself matter immensely, as you are the only person who needs to do hard work. If you do not then even the best college in the country would not help. .

IIEST was always among the top Institutes proving excellent education in engineering

IIEST Shibpur receives similar funding as compared to IIT's which is 40% more than NIT raipur. The campus of Shibpur is much cleaner and greener and the crowd is also better. The hostels of Shibpur are much better than rai pur. Placements are more or less similar in both colleges.

so I'll suggest you to go in iiest shibpur for mechanical engineering. .

hope this helps you

all the very best for your upcoming future

College Infrastructure

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology situated in Shibpur Having good infrastructure.Certainly lacks the facility & infrastructure of a top notch institute (refers to my dept.-archi), and heard a lot of complaints from my B.Tech friends about the placement department, which I presume is true to a large extent, although the new INI tag will be able to solve the problem, hopefully. But, students here get one hell of an experience of the hostel life, senior-junior relationship is something we learn to treasure and cherish.

Good college

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Our college having great infrastructure with all the facilities are available. Library is very well maintained with all books and papers you need with space to study there as well. Hostels on the other hand really need serious maintainance. The food quality is very bad to average. Drinking water is not very good as well. There are no well made tables or chairs in hostels, you have to buy them on your own. For sports there are 2 big grounds where you can play cricket and football. There is separate court for basketball and one for badminton. Except these there isn't anything else in sports department.

It was pretty good experience.

College Infrastructure

Great Infrastructure but placements should be improved as there was no placement in 2020 for Applied Geology. I am pretty sure the engineering departments are very much good at infrastructure but the university authorities must pay attention t the science departments as well.
