Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur offers a scholarship for students who are unable to pay their fees or other academic-related expenses. IIEST offers scholarships for Ph.D students to help them pursue their research and become doctorates. This funding not only helps these students to complete their degrees but also provides them with quality research.
IIEST Shibpur scholarships also help scholars to buy/rent high-cost equipment and procedures that help them complete their thesis. The Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology offers various scholarship schemes to students.Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology offers two scholarships for Ph.D. students. They are:
1. The Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF)
2. The Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) German Academic Exchange Service
Let us look for the details of PMRF:
PMRF was launched to provide scholarships to students so that they can perform their research properly, without constraints on the quality. The talents in students come out profoundly when they have access to proper resources to conduct research.
There is a list of guidelines that need to be followed to avail of the scholarship.
The guidelines are:
1. PMRF Granting Institutions and Seat Allocation
2. Eligibility and Application Procedure
3. Evaluation Process and Nodal Institutions
4. Deliverables
5. IPR
6. Administration System
7. Monitoring Mechanism
8. Financial Implications
Selected students will receive Rs. 70,000 each year up to the 5th year of Ph.D. The research grant is of Rs. 2 lakhs per year for a total of Rs. 10 lakhs in 5 years.
The details of the DAAD are as follows:
· DAAD is a scholarship offered to students who want to pursue higher studies. They have to work as an intern under doctorates, professors or scientists to complete their research work.
· The education needs to be pursued in Germany, and students in the third or fourth year of bachelor's or seventh or eighth year of dual degree can apply.
· The duration of this internship is for 2-3 months, and the monthly scholarship is 750 euros.

Yes, NIT Agartala does offer branch changes to first-year B.Tech students. The process for 2025-26 is likely to be similar to previous years, involving an online application portal, CGPA-based merit ranking, and seat availability considerations. While IIEST Shibpur may have closed its branch change option this year, NIT Agartala generally provides this opportunity.
Based on the JEE Main 2024 cutoff data for IIEST Shibpur, securing a B.Tech CSE seat with a CRL rank of 500129, even with the West Bengal home state quota, appears to be highly improbable .
Looking at the previous year's closing ranks for the general category under the home state quota, the cutoff for B.Tech CSE at IIEST Shibpur was significantly lower than your rank. For example, in the final rounds of JoSAA counselling in 2024, the closing rank for general home state candidates for CSE was around 17609 . While cutoffs can vary slightly each year, a difference of this magnitude makes admission very difficult.
While having the home state quota provides some advantage by reserving 50% of the seats for candidates from West Bengal, the competition for popular branches like CSE at a prestigious institute like IIEST Shibpur remains very high. The number of CSE seats is limited, and many candidates with much better ranks would also be vying for them under the home state quota.
Therefore, it is advisable to be realistic about your chances for B.Tech CSE at IIEST Shibpur with your current rank. You should definitely explore other engineering colleges that might be a better fit for your rank, considering both state government and private institutions in West Bengal and other states. Participating actively in the JoSAA and CSAB counselling processes and keeping an open mind about other branches could lead you to a good engineering college.
Hello,
Based on your SC category rank of 7,400 in JEE Main 2025, it might be difficult to get Mechanical Engineering at IIEST Shibpur . Last year, the closing rank for SC candidates from other states in Mechanical Engineering was around 6,706.
However, you can still consider other good colleges where your rank may be sufficient. Institutes like NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya, or IIITs in newer locations often have higher closing ranks for SC category students. It's a good idea to check the previous year's cutoffs for these colleges to see where you might have a chance.
Also, keep an eye on the counselling rounds, as sometimes seats become available in later rounds.
You can use our JEE Main College Predictor tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score.
Best of luck with your admissions!
