    College Infrastructure

    Boasting as the second most oldest engineering college of India, IIEST SHIBPUR has refurbished it's infrastructure at times and is now well equipped with most of the modern facilities to serve the needs of its students. It is well furnished with wifi facility, libraries and hostels to meet the requirements of the dwellers but at the same time there is much more scope to improvise it's infrastructure to adore it with a texture of a more eminent institute.

    Academics

    I am pursuing Mining Engineering in this college and I am quite satisfied with the quality of teachers and their way of imparting knowledge to the students. Moreover, they play an indispensable role to help students to acquire any internship or placement in the eminent firms.

    Placements

    There has been a considerable surge in the placements of certain branches like Mining, Metallurgy etc in the past few years while the other branches continue to hold their shine in this facet . The aspirants have been recruited with some really high perks and lucrative offers upto INR 50 lacs.

    Value for Money

    Although there has been a spike in the tution and other charges which is inevitable with passage of time, the remittance in the fees as per the various income slabs indeed relieves the aspirants of the heavy payments.

    Campus Life

    Genuinely speaking, I have comprehensively enjoyed my campus life with my colleagues and friendly staffs at several occasions (like technical and cultural fests organised every year) and still cherish those indelible moments at times.

    Iiest shibpur is one of the oldest college therefore its infrastructure lacks behind from those of new colleges. Even though its developing since then and its facilities are upto the marks. Proper equipments in the labs,good internet connection,classrooms are well managed also the campus is cleened every few months.The biggest advantage for the students is the library which includes a huge collection of the books and its also very well managed. Living spaces mostly depend on the students.

    Academics

    I am studying civil engineering because civil engineering sector has lots of opportunities in the government sector and private sector too. The professors are all well qualified and experienced and their way of teaching is really good. The curriculum is not that well updated,its old a little bit and I think they should work on it. Yes,the study can make you job ready.

    Placements

    Quality of placements are average since many students usually get very low package. The average salary was around 7lpa. Many students get placed out of the campus because of it but Its good enough as Sime companies visit the college.

    Value for Money

    I am a ST student so it I there is no tution fees for us and it cost around 85k per year including hostel fees. I think its worth it. The quality of education and the experience we get here is unmatched to any other places.

    Campus Life

    The most amazing part is the campus life. The best is the greenry in the campus. The weather is preety good except in summer. Students can engage in football,table tennis, swimming, cricket,dancing,singing, badminton etc. Staff is really supportive in the times of need. Also the area is safe I have not heard any such cases.

    On the very first day I felt really awkward and thought this wasn't the place that I dreamt of. But as the day passed, I started enjoying here. College life is all about friends and the way you spend time there. Overall I think I am in the right place.

    Have a question related to IIEST Shibpur ?

    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.

    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!
