Hello Aspirant,

I would recommend you IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering because both the college's are great in terms of infrastructure, facilities, faculty etc but when our branch and it's placements and learning is concerned IIEST Shibpur wins over NIT Durgapur as NIT Durgapur is great for CS students but for civil engineering IIEST Shibpur is great as it has witnessed students with great placements with attractive salary packages.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Dear student,
I am currently a student of iiest shibpur studying in 2nd year. I would suggest you to choose iiest shibpur electrical over nit durgapur mechanical any day. Don't hesitate a bit. The placements and ranking of iiest shibpur are much better tha nit durgapur. Also the environment here is very good. The iiest shibpur family is waiting for you. Iiest shibpur is 164 years old and has a great network of alumni which will help you a lot later. Also you'll have good opportunities for internships and the campus is really good, spread in about 163 acres of land.
Ranking: Though this is not the best way to judge or compare colleges but according to the latest NIRF rankings IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20 and NIT Durgapur 47 .

Funding : The funding IIEST receives is at par with the old IITs . NITs including Durgapur receive 40% lower funding

Campus : They are more or less same in surface area ( though Durgapur is a little bigger , I found out on wiki) but IIESTs campus is much better maintained and greener and cleaner as compared to NIT Durgapur . The architecture of 3rd and 4th year halls of residences are also eye-catching at IIEST.

Hostel: Hostels at IIEST are much better maintained and cleaner . Durgapur hostels seem to be dilapidated buildings in one neglected part of the campus with horrible toilets and the worse food ( I learnt this from my friends there ) . IIEST on the other hand serves good food and hostels are very well maintained . The 3rd and 4th year halls of residense are noteworthy for their architechture . Overall much better hostels for IIEST
Placements:More or less same . NIT Durgapur has marginally bigger highest package and average package but IIEST has greater median package which is of greater value . Placement percentages are more or less same . IIEST just became an Indian institute under the central government in 2014 while NIT came under central goverment in early 2000s. IIEST placements are improving at a rapid pace . NIT Dgp placements are also improving but at a slower pace .



Dear aspirant,

Hope you are doing well. As per your query both the branches have vast differences. It depends on what branch you are more keen to and interested in. IIEST Shibpur has a higher NIRF ranking that NIT Durgapur. If you are aiming for higher studies or any field related with research then IIEST Shibpur will be the best choice for you. But if you are looking for good campus placements then go for NIT Durgapur as the placements status is a bit better here than IIEST Shibpur irrespective of any branch.

Hello Mate....

The college atmosphere is a very important criteria to choose the college during counselling time.If we compare both the college ie IIIT Guwahati and NIT Durgapur , we can easily find that NIT Durgapur is one of the old and prestigious college of India whereas IIIT Guwahati is a PPP based model IIIT and it's a very new IIIT. So in this matter NIT Durgapur is better one . In NIT Durgapur u will get a better coding environment  NIT Durgapur is old and included in top nits of India. It's placement is also very good in CSE branch . In IIIT Guwahati the first batch is passed 2017 and their placement was satisfactory. So in my opinion you must join CSE Durgapur.

If we say about placement of colleges

IIIT Guwahati (ECE) 5-6LPA average salary

NIT Durgapur (CSE) 10-12 LPA average salary

Best of luck

Hi Aspirant,

If you want a comparison between two colleges in terms of chemical Engineering then obviously NIT Durgapur is much better than NIT Jalandhar.The teaching faculties Of chemical departments are much better than the others and there is quite a good pressure over the four years.Students want to perform research work can perform after the course but job opportunities in India is much lower.

In terms of coding,we get in touch with various competitive coding after we get into college.Moreover there are various technical fest in these colleges where you will learn much about coding.

Regards.


Hello aspirant,

For your doubt my answer is you choose IIIT nit Raipur because it is the best college which suits you among the list.

If you can afford for your career then choose IIIT lucknow because this is also best college but fee structure is high, for CSE fee is nearly 10,00,000. Better you choose nit Raipur.

Which college you can choose it is up to you but choose CSE course in that because it is much helpful in future.

Good luck.

Hello,

According to your question I would say it depends on which category are you planning to apply . If you apply with EWS category then only you might need to submit income certificate or else it is not needed. If you are going to apply for OBC quota then it would not be acceptable because as you mentioned your certificate is issued from Jharkhand then it cannot be used in West Bengal as it is not issued by the central government. If you have land in West Bengal then you might use domicile quota.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Not par with the NIT standard. Sports could be better, lots of unutilized area in campus. Academics is good, most professors are interactive. Good club culture, allows student to learn outside of academics.
