UPES B.Tech Admissions 2026
ApplyRanked #43 among Engineering colleges in India by NIRF | Highest Package 1.3 CR , 100% Placements
Hello Aspirant ,
Sorry to say but not Good. There is a mismatch between degree and the role you get to play in the organisation, in may be 90% of the cases.Case can be a student who received an M Tech. degree in Thermal Engineering will get placed in companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, IBM where they will get the role of system engineer. And I hope this is best thing that can happen. Worst case is obviously remaining unplaced that too with a post graduate degree.
Hello student,
The cutoff ranks for every college changes every year, so it is very hard to predict that you will definitely get the seat from a college based on previous year cutoff ranks. So if you wanna upgrade your college apply for it but keep a hold of the college you were allotted to. So even if you were unable to get a seat in other colleges you will have a seat from previous allotted college.
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 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
