Let me reason out to you

NIT Jamshedpur

*Pros

Excellent Placement in both Core and Non Core Sectors. Almost 90% placements in all Branches. Since last 3 years Batches of Mechanical, Metallurgical and Electrical have almost 100% Placements. Jamshedpur itself being an Industrial Hub, provides lots of opportunities in training and placement prospects.

Excellent Hostels and Mess Facilities with almost 70% Undergraduate Hostels having single occupancy.

*Cons

Poor Infrastructure and Maintenance of Administrative and Departmental Buildings.

Poor Research Facilities. NIT Jsr isnt a place to go if you are planning to pursue a Masters or Doctoral degree in future and planning a career in research. You will not find any motivation and impetus required in pursuing projects and research in campus.

Campus Life isnt as vibrant as top NITs and IITs, though NIT Jsr is steadily rising and has developed a good institute culture in last couple of years.

IIEST Shibpur

*Pros

Faculty and Research Facilities.

IIEST has excellent research potential and collaboration with top Institutes like IIT Kharagpur further ensures good projects and sponsored research in campus. Incase you plan to pursue Masters or Doctoral Degree, IIEST should be your preference. Till date 20%of every batch moves to US Universities and technical Institutes like IIT and IISc for higher studies. A large chunk of IIEST Alumini are settled in the United States, UK and are distinguished professionals , researchers and academicians, hence the Institute enjoys great International Outlook.

*Cons

Placements. Placement opportunities are quite bleak at IIEST especially in Core Branches like Mechanical, Civil and Metallurgy, when compared to that of NIT Jamshedpur. However Circuital branches like CSE and IT enjoy good placements. Still a considerable number of students stay unplaced and prepare for GATE/GRE/IES/CAT/etc Competitive Exams.

IIEST Shibpur, BIT Mesra are one of the oldest technical institutes of the country, but after start of the IIT-NIT System, it fails to gain attention and if often only considered by students from nearby states of West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand around. Hence you wont find any diversity or strong college culture there.

My advice will be to prefer NIT Jamshedpur above IIEST Shibpur.

Civil Engineering is one of the oldest branches at IIEST Shibpur. Last year more the 50 students were placed out of a batch of 80.

Of course Core Opportunities at Civil Engineering are bleak and few companies like Tata Projects, L&T ECC, Berger Paints, Bridge&Roof, JUSCO etc . Recruited civil engineers from campus last year. However, a large number of students from IIEST clear GATE and secure admission in Top IITs and IISc for Masters or Doctoral Degree. Many students clear PSU interview and join organizations like NTPC, BHEL, SAIL and NHAI in Managerial and Engineering positions.

Besides this, many students clear Indian Engineering Services Exam for Civil Engineering and land with prestigious Government and Public Works Department Jobs.

Besides Core, Non Core sector bloomed at IIEST Last year, with TCS, Infosys, Accenture, PwC, MuSigma , Cognizant and other Finance, Analytics and IT Companies jamming the campus last year. More than 70% of the Civil Batch were recruited by such companies.

No, you do not need domicile certificate. Domicile certificate is required to avail for state quota seats. But according to the new regulations, the state from which you are passing you Higher Secondary examination (10+2) will be treated as your domicile state. So as per your case you wont need any domiciliary certificate for taking admission in IIEST Shibpur.

Congratulations! for getting such a great college. Wish you a prosperous future ahead!

Hello deepak

There is not a clear cut answer to this question (maybe i am  not be able to answer ) .You have to compare the colleges based upon several factors .first talking about NIRF ranking then clearly IIEST shibpur is better . fee is also slightly less than NIT agartala .In terms of placements I think NIT agartala is better .so try making a list of such factors on a notebook and compare thoroughly .the final decision must be yours ,so research properly.

Best wishes

Hey!

The Hostel facilities are the best in IIEST, Shibpur. There are 15 hostels in the Institute. Boys' residence comprises hostel 8 to Hostel 15. Each Hostel has its mess, common room with indoor games like carrom board, and a TV room. WIFI facilities are available in each hostel. Washing Machines are available in the hostels. The hostels are clean. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner with snacks in the evening. The food is also good. The beds are also comfortable with a table for each student.

Hope this answer is helpful to you.

Thank you.

I will tell you pro and cons of both.

Iiest pros-

1. It is well established college with average placement around 9lpa for cse in 2019 lesser than average iiit and nits for cse.
2. Highly recognized in bengal

Cons-

1. It is more like a regional state college where 90% are bengali. A national college should be diverse like iits .
2. Hostel infrastructure is not appropriate. They pack 4 in single room
3. College is recognized less than iiits in north west and south India among people and professional too. Jadavpur is much more popular than this. Eveyone know the name.

IIIT Lucknow pros

1. Diverse culture
2. Good Coding environment

Cons

1. Almost everything except the pros. The batch from iiitl campus fill passout in 2023.

If your priorities is programming so go for iiit Lucknow.

Hello,

If we're comparing on the basis of the branch then CSE is a better choice than IT. Although IT is no less, but the placement chances of CSE department is higher as compared to IT.

Now institution wise, IIEST is better than NIT Agartala, Comparing infrastructure, NIRF Ranking, placement, academics.

Now the choice is completely based on your field of interest. I can assure you the placement opportunities in NIT Agartala is no less but institute wise IIEST is a better option. Almost 98% of the students get placed every year in IIEST and IT department has really nice placement stats as well.
