Dear Student,

IIEST ( Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology ), Shibpur has a total of 9 multi-seated and 5 single-seated boys hostels.

D. Banerjee Hall (Hostel 8) and IIEST Shibpur (Hostel 10) are the two hostels for 1st year UG students . Here you will not get single room .The rooms are big enough to have 4 students.

Food is very good in these hostels. And also the facilities like parks , common room and dining room in these hostels are very nice. Electricity management is good. Fr om 3rd year onwards students have choice to take single rooms.

Hope this helps.


Hello Aspirant,

I would recommend you IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering because both the college's are great in terms of infrastructure, facilities, faculty etc but when our branch and it's placements and learning is concerned IIEST Shibpur wins over NIT Durgapur as NIT Durgapur is great for CS students but for civil engineering IIEST Shibpur is great as it has witnessed students with great placements with attractive salary packages.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Dear student,
I am currently a student of iiest shibpur studying in 2nd year. I would suggest you to choose iiest shibpur electrical over nit durgapur mechanical any day. Don't hesitate a bit. The placements and ranking of iiest shibpur are much better tha nit durgapur. Also the environment here is very good. The iiest shibpur family is waiting for you. Iiest shibpur is 164 years old and has a great network of alumni which will help you a lot later. Also you'll have good opportunities for internships and the campus is really good, spread in about 163 acres of land.
Ranking: Though this is not the best way to judge or compare colleges but according to the latest NIRF rankings IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20 and NIT Durgapur 47 .

Funding : The funding IIEST receives is at par with the old IITs . NITs including Durgapur receive 40% lower funding

Campus : They are more or less same in surface area ( though Durgapur is a little bigger , I found out on wiki) but IIESTs campus is much better maintained and greener and cleaner as compared to NIT Durgapur . The architecture of 3rd and 4th year halls of residences are also eye-catching at IIEST.

Hostel: Hostels at IIEST are much better maintained and cleaner . Durgapur hostels seem to be dilapidated buildings in one neglected part of the campus with horrible toilets and the worse food ( I learnt this from my friends there ) . IIEST on the other hand serves good food and hostels are very well maintained . The 3rd and 4th year halls of residense are noteworthy for their architechture . Overall much better hostels for IIEST
Placements:More or less same . NIT Durgapur has marginally bigger highest package and average package but IIEST has greater median package which is of greater value . Placement percentages are more or less same . IIEST just became an Indian institute under the central government in 2014 while NIT came under central goverment in early 2000s. IIEST placements are improving at a rapid pace . NIT Dgp placements are also improving but at a slower pace .



Dear aspirant,

Hope you are doing well. As per your query both the branches have vast differences. It depends on what branch you are more keen to and interested in. IIEST Shibpur has a higher NIRF ranking that NIT Durgapur. If you are aiming for higher studies or any field related with research then IIEST Shibpur will be the best choice for you. But if you are looking for good campus placements then go for NIT Durgapur as the placements status is a bit better here than IIEST Shibpur irrespective of any branch.

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.
