Also Mechanical Engineering at IIEST is a good option and offers a decent placement. But again the seats are less.

Rest everything depends on your interest.

Hey,
IIEST is one of the oldest engineering institutes. It was established in 1856. The institute provides course in all major engineering fields such as civil, mechanic, engineering etc. All these core departments are good in nature. Mechanical engineering department of IIEST, Shibpur is ranked 7th all over India by EDU-RAND.
As per my research about the college and course, the placement of mechanical engineering students is quite good. Top companies like Coal, TATA metalliks Ltd, Maruti Suzuki etc. recruits students every year. Almost 70 percentage of students get placed every year.

Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Incase your interested in Aerospace you may consider IIEST Shibpur, however you dont have strong Core Engineering Placements, same with Integrated MSc in Physics at NIT Surat. Incase your choice in Aerospace Engineering, you should target MTech in Aerospace from some of the IITs/IISc Bangalore/IIST Trivandrum or maybe a career with ISRO/DRDO/HAL, post GATE Qualification. Today however there are strong Off Campus Opportunities in the Aerospace Sector with lots of Private Players like Skyroot, Agnikul, TAL coming in, however a Postgraduate degree is desirable by most Employers. Other option could be PhD abroad, which is a usual for IIEST Graduates, mainly in US or pursue Non Core Opportunities like Edtech, Finance, Data Science, Software or maybe prepare for CAT followed by MBA. Incase youre interested in Physics, you may take up NIT Surat, however prospects remain same, you make pursue PhD or maybe a career with the EdTech or Education Sector and usual Non Engineering Opportunities On Campus.

Try looking for a NIT or Top GFTI, at your Rank, with streams like Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgy or maybe Electrical or maybe CSE/IT at some Good IIIT, I believe this would be better, incase youre not genuinely interested in Aerospace or Civil.

Hello,

Congratulations on getting such good college and branch options. I will give you a preference list which will comprise of all these factors:

  • Overall ranking
  • Infrastructure
  • Location/accessibility
  • Branch that you are been offered(Core/interdisciplinary)
  • Placement opportunities
  • Industry Exposure

The preference order you should consider is:

  1. Chemical Engineering at NIT Durgapur
  2. Metallurgy at IIEST Shibpur
  3. Metallurgy at NIT Durgapur

As a branch considering the current scenario and employability status I would suggest going for Chemical than Metallurgy because of the following factors:

  1. Less Competition
  2. More opportunities
  3. More PSU recruitments
  4. Wide options to go interdisciplinary
  5. Huge scope for PhD abroad

I would also like to add here that an engineering course should be very much taken with an interest in the field so I would suggest you to consider that factor and if you are not aware of the branches mentioned look them up on the internet more reliable will be to go through the syllabus on the respective colleges' website. An interest in the field is the key factor in deciding how your $ years of college will be and what opportunities you will land for yourself.

Good luck, hope it helps!!

Hi,

Usually the Income certificate is issued on the name of the person who earns money. The certificate would have name of your father or mother, whoever earns more money. The Certificate has family income that will include earnings from all of the members of family.

I hope this will answer your query .

Thanks!!!!

Hello aspirant,

Great to knew that according to previous cut-offs you have various options to choose from.

As your 1st priority is ECE I would discuss regarding this branch only on your mentioned NIT's.

As you may know, NIT Nagaland, Sikkim, Mizoram & Meghalaya were comparatively newly established, I would rate these NITs a bit lower than the other two NITs due to their lack of infrastructure and established alumni network. They are in their infant stages only, thus I would take them out of the discussion.

Now comes the other two NITs Agartala and Srinagar, while Srinagar was earlier an RIT and thus always was a premier institute of India. Agartala is also a fairly old institute established in the 50s and 60s. They have a very established campus and alumni network. NIT Agartala has many new investments in infrastructures.

I would suggest you to choose any of them according to your residence as if you were in East side you can choose NIT AGARTALA or if you belongs to Northern side choose NIT SRINAGAR.

To know your other chances through JOSSA & State level Government & private colleges, You can use the JEE Main College Predictor tool given below.

Hi,

IIEST is a reputed institute so do NIT Rourkela is. According to Data available , Nearly 80-90% students gets placed during placement times with average placement Ranging around 5-6 Lakhs. NIT Rourkela do have similar Placement record. But if you look Career Oppurtunities in India, ECT has better placements Oppurtunities than Chemical Engineering. The Average package of ECT is more than Chemical generally.

So, according to me IIEST shibpur would be good choice .

Thanks!!!!

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

The MAT is typically administered four times a year in February, May, September, and December. MAT candidates must have completed their bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university, or an equivalent degree recognised by the test organisation. Students in their final year of any undergraduate programme (e.g., B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., B.Tech., etc.) are eligible to appear provisionally.

A minimum percentage requirement for graduation is usually set by the MI or the university, and this percentage requirement varies from one MI or university to another. For further information, consult the prospectus of the specific MIs/University.

Hope you got the answer to your question. Incase of any queries, feel free to question. Have a great day!

You cannot gent into government colleges like NIT,IIT,IIIT with out Jee. They are central government colleges so if you want to get into those colleges you must clear the Jee. you can get into government colleges like state colleges with writing the exam conducted by the state government like eamcet, upcet,tscet, like that. so You must write the exam conducted by the state government to get into state colleges.

hope you are clear.

Best college for engineering courses

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

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.
