Frankly speaking if we follow the last few years trend,then the answer is a clear no. And since the cutoffs will increase thisyear since there has been an increase in demand for IIESTs and NITs I don’t think it will be possible for you to take admission in either of these good colleges.

Hello,
NIT Bhopal Electrical better than IIEST on many parameters. NIT Bhopal is one of the Tier 2 NITs in India and thus it's core branch like Electrical are very good. While IIEST is one of the oldest colleges of India, it was primarily setup as basic science college with focus on higher research in fields like Physics, Maths and Chemistry. Also the placement of NIT Bhopal will be far better than IISER due to the strong alumni network , Thus choosing a technical course there, is not very much appreciable, especially if you have the option of choosing NIT.

I would suggest you to choose NIT Bhopal if those are the only two options.
Thank You

Dear Aspirant 

First of all Congratulating you on your nice performance and I would like to tell you that based on choice of two colleges provided above, if you were to take my opinion, I would suggest you to take admission in Jadavpur University because this university is ranked above various iits and nits in terms of everything and is one of the best college in West Bengal, at the same time mechanical engineering is core branch unlike information technology so, go for it. 

Good luck for your counselling procedure :)

Feel free to ask if you have any further queries. 

Dear aspirant your rank is not good enough to get a seat in nit or gftis or iiest. You can only take admission in private colleges like vitee, kit etc. You may give other government exams like wbjee, comedk etc for state government colleges. You don't have any chance in mains

Hello,

The overall placement in IIEST is pretty average. Thus you cannot consider a very handsome package with M.sc in chemistry. I come from a physics background and what I know about there is that most people in M.Sc in IIEST go for higher studies and some even try UPSC. This more or less sums up if the course of M.Sc is made for Jobs. You can still get placed in mass recruiters coming to college and some other jobs in the academic sector. Since the course is not job oriented, you cannot expect a very good placement.

Thank You

Hello aspirant!!
Since you have opted for large no.of of courses but u got mms then it is fine but I would like to suggest you to wait for last round as there is fair chances that u will get mechanical engineering so go for it.
Good luck!!

Hi aspirant,

At this rank, you might get the following branches( considering you're not from West Bengal):

  • Civil
  • Metallurgical and Materials
  • Mining

Keeping in mind that cut-offs have decreased as compared to last year, You might just get Electrical at IIEST Shibpur. 

All the best

Hi Abhishek,

If you got a seat in IIEST shibpur in josaa first round then you have to report at the reporting center. IIEST shibpur comes under the NIT+ system. so you have to report at the following reporting centers. here I will provide the link for the reporting centers list.

Once you go through this link and check the reporting center which is near to your home town. Then it is easier for you.

thank you.


Hi


Well, around 100+ in the first year. No wonder why this is so popular among them. But there are other regional groups too. So the entire campus is a mixture of people from all over India. Mostly from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, North East, Telangana after West Bengal. 


Best of Luck. 

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Hello satyam,

It depends on your interest either you are passionate about coding or you are passionate about semiconductor physics.
