Dear Aspirant,

EE is the study of electrical things and it is a core branch whereas the Chemical Engineering is the study of chemicals which will be used in the many fields like defence, etc.After all it depends on you which subject excites you the most and it will be easier for you if you choose it.

Faculty: All the professors are Ph.D. holders and are very knowledgeable. They give their best they can. There is a very good research environment here. The courses curriculum design might be a bit old but changes are being made to make students industry-ready. The semester exams might be described as a bit difficult.

VNIT Nagpur:-

Placements: In VNIT Nagpur, many companies hire students for the IT sector such as Microsoft, Amazon, Udaan, etc. For better knowledge of basic and advanced robotics, they have different clubs such as IV laboratories for software engineers, and electrical engineers.

Infrastructure: The boys' hostel is glamorous with spacious rooms, and it provides the best facilities. They clean rooms regularly, and hostel life is fun. There are no such restrictions in the boys' hostel after the first year, and for girls, the timings are restricted up to 10 PM. The campus is also known for its greenery surroundings. On the backside, there is a lake on which students can do photoshoots, and spend time with their friends. They also provide facilities for indoor and outdoor games like football, cricket, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, carrom, chess, etc. The ground is good and well maintained.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, but some teachers are strict in their subjects which is a good point for students' better performance. All professors are highly qualified from IITs and NIT, and some other top universities with high teaching experience. For semester exams students must study properly, and pay attention from 1st day of the class itself. As we often hear that after going to IIT or NIT we didn't have to study maths, which is not true. If students want to be different from others and make their own identity on-campus then they have to study at least 3-4 hours a day. Exams are moderate in terms of difficulty level. They also conduct online exams which have 5-7 questions in 1 hour, and mostly they theory and numerical-based. It has a good grade system so that students can score well, at least 35-40 marks.

hi..

IIEST , Shibpur is the second oldest engineering college in India and stands at a rank of 19 by NIRF in 2019, making it one of the top eligible colleges for pursuing Engineering in India. While it also offers graduate and undergraduate programs in science and management, it most popularly is known for its B.E, M.E, BTech, and M.Tech programs.

On the other hand, NIT has 31 campuses across India all of which are considered to be colleges of national importance and are even compared to the standards of IITs. It is also known for its engineering programs especially in computer science technology and Electronics Engineering.

Infrastructure :

  • In terms of college facilities, IIEST is known for its well-equipped classrooms, high-speed internet across the campus, huge library, a total of 17 hostels, a sports complex, research labs, and a beautiful academic campus surrounded by nature that helps create an ideal environment for students to study.
  • NIT also has a great campus with 18 student hostels, smart classrooms, and a sports complex but if you are someone who is looking for a course that has to do with research, then IIEST, Shibpur is surely preferable considering it has a more research-oriented approach and facilities which comparatively, NIT lacks.

Placements :

The placements in both colleges are highly popular in terms of companies visiting and the average salary but then we also have to consider which NIT campus we are comparing IIEST to. If we are going to talk about top NIT campuses in Warangal, Trichy, or Surthakal then surely the placement rates are higher. But compared to other NIT branches, IIEST Shibpur surely has a greater chance of providing better placements.

Since all the NIT’s are different and ranked based on their individual relevance, it is better to make a well-informed choice by comparing your preferred choice to IIEST. If you are looking for a course with good research work and decent placements then IIEST, Shibpur is a great option.

Dear Aspirant,

Verified Review

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.
