    Great Learning at the 2nd oldest engineering college

    College Infrastructure

    The college has all necessary infrastructure and the rest are under construction or maintenance or upgradation and will be effective very soon. It has one of the biggest Library comprising of around 1.5 lakh books, journals, magazines and research papers in hardcopy and soft copy as well. All the sport and gymnasium is well maintained and the girls hostel constructed recently are great but the boys one need some renovations even a 10 storey boys hostel is under construction as well.

    Academics

    Ok with this topic but the fields for work and delve deep is vast and have specialised experts to guide as well.Teaching varies from professors to professors hence ranges from very poor to excellent ones, the best in the industry and hence overall average rating.

    Placements

    Decent placement but then also not upto the marks since the average package is much below many colleges of same standard and the percentage is low as students go for higher studies may be due to low packages or even not placed or have some keen interest in any topic to have future prospects.

    Value for Money

    Prices too high not at all budget friendly for the general middle class , it seems as if we are running the others and bearing their loads in addition to ours financially.

    Campus Life

    Great campus life in the bank of river ganges and connected to Calcutta, the City of Joy. Greenery all round with heritage buildings and rich bengali culture squares up the vintage feel for a bengali.

    Just don't go after NIRF ranking it is a total scam, evaluate it personally on all the details provided in the NIRF pdf to have a good idea of the real scenario.

    College Infrastructure

    The college is old, so the hostels and classroom is not in its best shape and not very well maintained too. The lab machinery is old but atleast the lab is well maintained. The campus is well maintained and has a lot of greenery which promote good environment for education.

    Academics

    I study Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The curriculum is outdated but the professors are good teachers. They help us grasp the basics and if we are serious with academics, it is more than sufficient to be job ready in our department.

    Placements

    The placements can be better if we see numbers but there is a high influx of core companies here and you true worth as an engineer in a core department can be tested with experience in this core companies CS placements are also amazing with high packages

    The Infrastructure college is my good. Though we do not have sufficient amount of hostels. yet the accommodation is good. The class buildings and classrooms are well maintained. So over all infrastructure is very good

    Academics

    Our college is the second most old college in India and has a rich heritage in terms of academics. But some times some teachers get hasty in finishing the syllabus rater "teaching" us. But I think that happens in every college I assume. Very few subjects follow stone age syllabus. All the departments are up to dated.

    Placements

    Being an NIT and a institute of National Importance various famous companies visits our campus for placement. We have good record of on campus/off campus placement record. The students get placed in Google/Microsoft like places. So overall placement is good.

    Value for Money

    Course Fee for General/OBC students(Income>500000/year): aprox 140000/per year (62500/per semester tuition and aprox 7500 fee per semester others) included.

Course Fee for General/OBC/SC/ST students(Income<100000): Same as Above with a full remission in tuition fee.

    Campus Life

    Campus Life here, in one word, is outstanding. The campus is most green place in the whole state. The beautiful scenery here is just a feast to eyes. The seniors and teachers are very helpfull. So you wont regret ever with this campus life.

    Have a question related to IIEST Shibpur ?

    I have got 500129 JEE rank in 2025. Can I get admission in BTech CSE in IIEST as West Bengal is my home quota.

    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.

    I got 1.6 lakh rank in jee mains 2025 and sc rank is 7400.My hs is West Bengal. Can I get mechanical engineering in iiest shibpur or any other good 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!

    With 76.31 percentile (SC, Female, West Bengal) in JEE Main 2025 , your SC category rank is likely above 35,000 .

    Chance in Central Govt Colleges:

    • IIEST Shibpur : Low chance for CSE/IT; possible in Mining or Civil.

    • NIT Durgapur (Home State) : Tough for top branches; Civil or lower branches may be possible.

    • Newer IIITs/GFTIs : Some chances in lower branches depending on cutoff trends.

    What to Do:

    • Register for JoSAA counselling.

    • Fill as many choices as possible (include low-demand branches).

    • Keep checking official cutoffs.
