Hello satyam,

Iiest shibpur is one of top colleges of west bengal with nirf ranking 19 in engineering colleges all over india.

The placements are OK. The highest package offered to the students of the CSE stream is 12 LPA which is a good package to start with. The placements are improving every year as it belongs to an INI the standards of IITs and NITs.

Day by day everything is improving both faculty and course circulum is being updated.

Hello,
With your rank of around 2.2 L CRL. It is highly unlikely for you to get IIEST. IIEST is one of the best and oldest institutes of its kind and is highly prestigious. Its closing rank is below 30k for general and thus you will definitely be not getting IIEST even with the EWS quota.

Coming to IIITs and GFTIs. The in-demand branches like CS and ECE are offered in IIITs and thus it also closes very quickly. Still you might get some northeastern GFTIs in a lower branch which close in on 2-3Lacs for general too. You should look for other state government colleges as well as good private colleges too.
Thank You

Hi,

The funding from the central government to IIEST is at par with the older IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kgp, Kanpur). JU in comparison gets a fraction of that amount from state government.

Better funding translates into better halls/hostels, labs, Internet facilities, Library, Faculty and Infrastructure in general. Hence + 1 to IIEST w.r.t to Funding.

In the recently published MHRD rankings IIEST is ranked at 20A and it is better than JU. See the following- MHRD, National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF), 

Thus, +1 to IIEST

Academically, IIEST is in the process of employing best teachers across the country as both salary and independence of choosing research projects are going to be more in a central institute. Please refer to - Recruitment of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor ( Advt. No. OC/D (AA)/15/34, 9th Oct, 2015) , Hence +1 to IIEST in terms of faculty/research quality.

Students at IIEST come from all over India, thus you can expect a rich cultural and social diversity at campus unlike JU, which is a state run university and admits students from WB mostly. +1 to IIEST

Placement in IIEST is getting better every passing year. In fact IIEST has already signed a MOU with CII in order to attract many more core engineering companies , read this : IIEST upbeat on industry link-up.

IIEST is going to host the first of its kind TEDx eventat in eastern India and regularly hosts an array of events giving the students both academic and industry exposure. Get more updates here: TEDxIIESTShibpur | TED.com

If you want to pursue higher studies, the brand name of an "Indian Institute" will serve you better. 

Hello Satyam, 

I think you should go with the iiest shibpur with the CSE branch, As the trends the scope of computer science brance is higher than any other branch, all these scenario happen due to fast moving digital India and you should not worry about the college.

All the best.

Hi Archi,

Based on the last three years i.e. 2016, 2017 and 2018 cutoff ranks for IIEST, Shibpur, it is not possible for you to get admission.

I can provide you the cutoff ranks for the last three years for SC category candidates, you can get a clear idea.


In 2016, after the last round-

Closing Rank- 8107


In 2017, after the last round-

Closing Rank- 6137


In 2018, after the last round-

Closing Rank- 8655


Hope this helps you.

All the best!!!


First of all comparing placements in both the colleges. NIT kkr has and upper hand over IIEST.
The highet package at IIEST is 46 lpa compared to 27 at Nit kkr. But if you carefully observe the placement scenario in IIEST, the no. Of the students who are getting placed in service based companies is very high (Accenture-123, CTS-67, IBM-51, Wipro-43, TCS-56, Infosys-25) thus making an average and median package less.
On the other hand , Nit kkr , many students are placed in top tech products based companies like Amazon, Adobe , Microsoft, Oracle and 1 and 2 even in Google.
So Nit kkr will the best choice.

Hi


According to previous year cutoffs at IIEST Shibpur, with a rank of 22,500(OBC-NCL) in JEE Mains 2019 unfortunately you cannot get any branch under Other State Quota.


But if we see under Home State Quota, the closing ranks were higher for Civil Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering. So only these are the possibilities for you under Home State Quota.


Best of Luck.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Hi


First of all, IIEST Shibpur takes admission only through JEE Mains Rank and not WBJEE Rank.


Further, according to previous year cutoffs at Jadavpur University, the closing rank for SC Category under Home State Quota in Electronics & Communication Engineering was 43844 in 2018. So, with a rank of 30k you can easily get Electronics & Communication Engineering at Jadavpur University. Though you cannot get ECE at IIEST Shibpur with your WBJEE Rank.


For more information check this WBJEE Cutoff 2019 link: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/wbjee-cutoff.


Best of Luck.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Choose as per your interest don't take admission only because the placement is good for a particular branch.both the branches and colleges are good.If you are interested in computer then definitely go for IIEST(CSE) .But if you are comparing in both two the cse must be better because it will give you better placements....
