Hello there,
In IIEST Shibpur, four students share one room. This is only for the first and second years. After that you can get single accomodation. According to the reviews of some students, there is sufficient space for 4 students in each room. The food of the hostel is not so good, but overall experience is nice, as per their reviews.
Hope this answer helps you.
God luck!!

Hello ,

I don't personally know about these colleges but based on NIRF ranking and student reviews you can find that Jadavpur University is better than IIEST Shibpur . It doesn't mean IIEST Shibpur is not good , IIEST Shibpur is also an excellent college .

Here I am mentioning some points :-

  1. Jadavpur University NIRF ranking is 14 whereas IIEST Shibpur NIRF ranking is 19 .
  2. You can see in careers360 students reviews Jadavpur rating is more than IIEST .
  3. In terms of campus IIEST Shibpur has slight bigger campus area than Jadavpur University.

You can compare both colleges here :-

Dear,

I would recommend IIEST anytime. Formerly Bengal Engineering and Sciene University(BESU) IIEST Shibpur, is one of the oldest engineering institutes which has now been upgraded to the status of institute of national importance in the year 2015.Being old, the institute has done well in procurement of a mighty alumni base which proves quite instrumental in placements and all.Its the mother institute of highly reputed IIT Kharagpur. That even adds to its value.Its a central govt. Technical institute now and hence has a greater degree of transparency in fund regulation and policy framing.

Talking about HBTU , it is one of the oldest engineering colleges in the entire North India and 19th enginnering college in the entire country. From the year 2017–18, i.e. from this year onwards, it would also be admitting students on the basis of JEE MAIN ranks only. The mother institue of 41 technical institutes in the state including IIT Kanpur. That adds to the value of the institution as well.Being old, the college has done enough to procure a mighty lace of alumni that has established the prestige of the institution in the industry apart from that among the common masses. Its a thing that always proves instrumental in placement drives of the college. But, the college administration is not that supportive. You will have an approximate idea of entire Indian bureaucracy by the completion of your four years if you opt for this college. Also, its hard to get good marks at the college.

Hope this helps!

Hi

For IIEST, ranks for admission into different branches ranged from nearly 5000-40000. With the new percentile system, this would translate to a percentile range of 95-99. This is solely based on the past year pattern, and might change slightly because of factors like change in number of seats or the number of people appearing for the exam.

Hello,

For B.Tech or B.Arch course

  • Candidates should appear and qualify for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main).
  • Based on the marks scored in JEE Main, candidates have to register for IIEST Shibpur's official website to participate in the counselling process.

The candidate should have secured a minimum of 75% aggregate marks (for General category) and 65% marks (for OBC/SC/ST/PwD category) in the Higher Secondary exams of their respective Boards.

Hello,

Your expected rank will be around 104281.You can calculate your expected rank using the formula (100-your total percentile)*869010/100

Your rank based on category is expected to be in between 28000-34000.In 2019 a candidate with rank 6927 belonging to OBC category ( other state ) secured seat in Mechanical Engineering in IIEST, Shibpur. A candidate ( home state) belonging to OBC with rank 19287 secured seat in the same.COnsidering this you may noyt get seat but cut off is subjected to change it may increase or decrease slightly.

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

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.
