College Reviews Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur

Provides value education with good ROI.

Placements : However the placement scenario of the college is good, but the placement of the department is average. Average package is 3lakhs/ annum. Mostly banking and financial Sector recruits from this department, but students are placed in other MNC' s also. The internship are provided to all the students at different reputed industries. Students are paid a lump sum during the internship and sometime they get some pre placement offers also.

Very Good Institute Ranked within Top 20 in India

A Very Good Educational Environment with good hostel life and excellent students group to live and learn together. Faculty Members were highly qualified and taught us very seriously with devotion. Industrial tours were organized from time to time to give us industrial exposure. Overall a very rigorous education and training in engineering education.

More academic flexibility required

IIEST is a moderately good college with a reasonable infrastructure. But yes, a more friendly behavior from the staff is needed since a university should be "for the students". Our college campus lacks a gd library which is open for 24*7. It should have a good computer center with access to websites of good, internationally recognized journals. It should also have better playgrounds. The engineering faculty is quite OK, but certainly, more industry exposure and practical knowledge-based learning is needed. We are mainly taught every subject theoretically and we hardly know what happens in reality.Industry visits are extremely important. College life for me was not so pleasing. Though mostly I am responsible for it. But yes, the hostels should have better atmosphere, better bathrooms, indoor games. There should be cultural fests, interactive sessions with students and teachers of other universities, seminars on interesting topics. I am not particularly concerned about placement but as far as my knowledge is concerned, placement scenario is not so good. I hope it will improve in the upcoming years. College professors are good in general but yes, some of the could have taught in a better, more interesting manner but again, this is common for every college in India. Yes, recently the student intake has increased and the college has become a little moe crowded but it's ok ! In terms of mess fees, tuition fees my college is definitely affordable to a middle-class family.

A vibrant community

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. Add to it the fact that it is the country's second oldest insti., the long list of golden achiever alumni certainly evokes a feeling of pride, and lots of age-old colonial buildings(still functional) including a runic graveyard, !

Beautiful environment and nice college

Lot of new things to learn. Beautiful campus. Enchanting environment. Facilities are good. One will definitely learn a lot from the college. IIEST can always be a better choice for students who are interested in research and after the 4 year exit option being launched, it would be a much better college. With its enormous history of over 150 years, IIEST is a college to be chosen without a second thought.

Good College In Area

Infrastructure is generally available but it is very old fashioned. As we have recently gained national importance, so the infrastructure is improving rapidly.The faculty members are highly qualified for all departments and they are quite helpful. Generally, the classrooms are not digitalised up till now, so the conventional way of chalk and blackboard is used.This college offers a wide range of extracurricular and co-curricular activities in form of clubs, games, sports and many others. Internships are very rarely provided by the college.

An abode of excellence and opportunities !!

IIEST is a culmination of more than 160 years of heritage and excellence. It has always been one of the best colleges of India thriving under the aegis of exceptional students to reward the country with high quality engineers fit to raise the country to a higher level of development. The infrastructure and awesome faculty just add to its elegance. In recent years, after becoming IIEST, the placement scenario has improved a lot. So, if you wish to spend your undergraduate years here.....it surely won't be a bad choice.

College life: A place full of dreams and various surprises.

A very good place. With a pleasant campus just beside the river Gangas. Faculty is extremely good and helpful. Seniors are also helpful. Moreover we did not have to face any serious ragging. Extremely well developed laboratory. Moreover one can find every opportunity to persue his/her own passion here, beside studying.

Unexpected Turns in my Career

To be frank, this college was never in my dream college list. But now it's been a semester and truly I feel those uncertain decisions of mine turned out to be one of the best ones.This college has good infrastructure, as it got an "II" tag, so placements too are progressing year by year.Most of the time in college life, we spend with friends and chilling in hostels, so when it comes to hostel life- they too are good. As an overall review can say it's worthy joining this college.

Not so special college but joinable

Nothing too special to share its just like other colleges with INI tag and a good director everything is so normal about this college. College starts from 8 AM and ends generally on 4 PM academics are moderate but there are 1 2 toooo bad teachers here who ruin the taste of great subjects rest teachers are good the core departments are better than others in terms of both placement and academics but the fee is a bit high if the standard of college is concerned student quality is moderate but far away from being one of the best colleges. the campus is very old and needs heavy renovation to look good also the college lacks big auditorium which creates much problem for big seminars to be organized the library also lacks sufficient books so there is also a rush for getting books when it is prescribed also many students get deprived of issuing the prescribed book due to lack of books so the college needs much boost in infrastructure some many private institutes have better infrastructure than this college

It has been a good journey so far.

College Life is good if you take hostel. For day scholars like me it's pretty much boring. The seniors are good to talk with. They help in every way possible. Faculty is pretty good especially Civil and Electrical department. But I think infrastructure can improve a lot. There are lots of empty spaces in the college campus. Overall, I believe that in the coming years this can be one of the premier engineering institutions of our country.

Quality education and excellent college Life

IIEST Shibpur or erstwhile BESU was founded in the year 1856. It is the second oldest college in India and has attained great heights hence. The faculties of the engineering department are quite good however I would not say the same for the basic science and maths departments. The teachers are quite friendly with the students and a healthy bond exists. As most of the teachers live in the campus, visiting them for any doubt is not a problem. Coming to the Infrastructure of the college- it has some excellent labs in the core department. Our library also has a huge collection with ample arrangement for reading. Classrooms are also quite big and airy. However the Infrastructure is not quite upto the mark of an INI. Still much effort has been made in these 3years. Placement of this college is a bit lagging behind. However this year a huge number of companies visited. Microsoft accepted 6 students. Coal India also took 17 students. So the placements are on an increasing graph. Now coming to the college life. This place is simply a home away from home. And believe me if you are a hostelier you are surely going to love this place. Lush green campus near the Ganges. Huge playgrounds, the bidisha jheel. This is the best place for spending your evening. The senior junior relationship is also good. Ragging is almost non existent. Many clubs are active in the institute and you can surely choose your area of interest. And also to mention now you can have an EXIT after your 4th year. I am a first year student in this institution and I would surely recommend this college. And last but not the least, sooner or later you shall fall in love with this place

A home away from home

Well if you have missed the IITs but is still keen on fulfilling your engineering dream then this institute is one of the very few in this country which will surely help you to do so . Having got a new moniker in 2014 in which it got upgraded to an institute of national importance(which should have happened ages ago),this institute has been looking forward toward continuous improvisation and upgradation. Campus life, hostel life ,the late night walks and the arbit talks takes engineering to a different level and makes it equally interesting. With faculty being one reason for other institutes to be jealous (since we no doubt possess the some of the best professors in the country),the student quality has also improved a lot after the institute became centralised. Placement scenerio have improved a lot after upgradation in both the core and non-core departments.Believe me it might not be an IIT but you won't regret being a BEing(that's how we are known as).

With a commendable effort by the staff the Institute has emerged as an engineering powerhouse in the recent times. It also nurtures a good array of industrial exposure thereby facilitating students to acquire jobs in a variety of top organizations. The Teaching Staff is also brilliant in their approach that helps in attaining a strong student-teacher communication. Overall IIEST is a very good college to enrol into, especially when it comes to a strong knowledge of engineering. Hostels and Halls are also good with multifarious menus to ticker the taste buds. It also hosts popular events like Rebecca and Instruo to provide an enjoyable stay.

IIEST -My second home

Had I not been in IIEST Shibpur, I would never been a part of its heritage, its culture, the aesthetic beauty and the glory that it carries in every corner of the campus. The rich heritage , the atmosphere of perseverance and serving the nation from time immemorial, the greenery, the peaceful ambiance of the place and the strive for excellence in the field of science and technology glows like an ever-glowing raging fire. It been less than 3 years since the Bengal Engineering and Science University was conferred the title of IIEST Shibpur. Had I not been here, I would have missed such a glory of a lifetime. The culture here speaks for itself. The educational atmosphere speaks for itself.

Best after the old IITS and Top 3 Nits.

IIEST shibpur is one the best colleges in the country.It is the best on west bengal after IIT kharagpur. the faculty is awesome,placement scenario has scope of improvement but still it is better than many NITs. The reaserch output of this college is great and in comparison with other colleges it is ranked 7th above many IITs. we have a very useful club culture where we can nurture our talents and extracurricular activities.The robotis club and the quiz club stands out to be the best of the lot having won many compititions and awards,whereas the coding culture needs to improve Overall campus life is great,mess food is up to the mark. coming back to the faculties,they are better than many IITS,and Mechanical Department enjoys the best palcements over here and it is surely the best. Thank you,hope this helps.

A semester here

IIEST Review Campus Environment: Green, clean campus. Big lakes, tall trees and variety of birds enhance the view. Education: Not the best. But satisfactory. Some really good teachers. Still in First Year. So no comments about departmental subjects. Extracurricular: Many clubs for different fields of interests. I would like to have more than 24 hours a day to participate in many of them Placements:I don't have a firsthand experience. So I would not comment Mess Food: If you are a foodie, you will be disappointed. Even the hotels outside the campus aren't great Overall, a peaceful college with no "Politics" and freedom given, though girls have to enter the hostel before 10/10:45 pm Worth joining!!

Very average college.

Placements : On an average, the placement was not up to the reputation of the college as mostly IT companies came rather than the core companies.The average salary offered was around 3.5 LPA, the maximum is 6 LPA and the lowest was 2.75 LPA. Most of the IT companies like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, CTS, Accenture and some companies from analytics domain like Mu-sigma, EXL Services, PWC, and HDFC visited the campus. In the IT sector, we were offered the role of Associate Software Engineer. Around 8-10 students got the internship from the college, but I have no idea about their stipend. Infrastructure : The infrastructure of the college was good, however keeping in mind that now the college is of national importance, the labs' quality should be improved and it must be equipped with more instruments.The quality of food in the canteen was good. All the hostels are quite old so it must be renovated, otherwise, the hostels are good as well. Faculty : The faculty members were helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable, but most of the faculty members are from the communication domain and there is a lack of professors for the electronics subject. They either use a slideshow or blackboard to teach. The student to faculty ratio was around 12:1. We did not get the industry exposure. The course curriculum was useful but I think more topics should be included, like data structure, power electronics etc.

Good Placements and Facilities.

Placements : There are a lot of companies that have visited our campus. Almost 90 percent of our batch got placed. The highest salary is 14 lakhs per annum and lowest is 3 lakhs per annum. Some of the companies are CTS, Accenture, Wipro, Google, etc. Offered roles are graduate engineer trainee, system analyst, associate software engineer, etc. 40% of our batch got internships too. The highest stipend offered was 30k per month and lowest was 5k per month. Infrastructure : The college infrastructure is excellent and you will be provided with all the facilities like Wi-Fi, Library, Medical, Sports, etc. The campus is very large so there are a lot of grounds. They are kept very neat and clean. Hostel rooms are not up to the mark. Canteen is just average. Faculty : All the faculty members are not up to the mark but some of them are exceptionally good as well as helpful. Student to faculty ratio is around 25:1. We didn't get any industry exposure. The course curriculum is quite useful. The teaching methods are old and boring.

It's one of the best institutes you can ever get.

Didn't get a chance in NIT or IIT?? Don't worry. This is equivalent to them. It's under JOSAA just like the Nit and IIT. You will give it 5 stars once u start to read here. First few months u will have to meet the seniors for a few times until u get it fresher's. Here u will get a wide exposure. Placement guaranteed. Big companies come here and offer huge salaries. No matter which department u get, if u have a chance to get admitted here, don't let it go. Slowly the competition to get admission here will get more difficult than it is now. So it's better to get admitted here if u don't get in NIT or IIT. It's of the same standard and dignity. It's undoubtedly one of the best. Study here, u will understand urself.
