There are several reviews about the Sen Hall of IIEST Shibpur from students who have spent their years in the hostel, stating the advantages and disadvantages. The points listed below give a brief idea about the kind of facilities and standard of living in the Sen hall.

  • Separate rooms are allotted for every student resident. There are enough facilities provided inside every room, including a tube light, a bed, a table, a fan, an almirah, and a chair. Students can also use more than one almirah or table if they get one free lying across any corner of the hostel.

  • In the Sen hall, there is a good senior-junior relationship, where 3rd and 4th years stay. No report of ragging is evident from the Sen hall.
  • The mess food is quite good, with the presence of supportive and caring mess staff. Students get to eat Biryani twice or thrice a month.
  • The mess manager is allotted every month, which consists of both 3rd and 4th-year students. So, both the batches can decide the menu for the entire month.
  • Since 2016, the provision of breakfast has been included in the mess.
  • There are arrangements for common TVs, English and Bengali newspapers of several types, magazines, and employment news articles.
  • The mess staff and hostel caretakers are very polite and helpful.

Is IIEST Shibpur better than nits?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 18th, 2023

As a student of IIEST Shibpur, I will try to present an unbiased opinion on this query. 

  • Funding- NITs have been institutes of national importance for quite a while now. On the other hand, IIEST became a national institute only a few years ago. But now as a national institute, IIEST receives the same funding as the IITs, which is more than the funding for NITs. The more the funding, the better are the labs and other infrastructural facilities of a college.
  • Rankings- IIEST has been placed 35th in the 2023 NIRF engineering rankings. This is higher than most NITs, except NIT Trichy, Surathkal, Rourkela, Warangal and Calicut. 
  • Research- IIEST is highly regarded for its achievements in research. In this respect too, it beats most NITs. The research projects undertaken, and papers published by its researchers are proof of the same. 

IIEST is thus better than most NITs, barring the top ones. Even as BESU, it was performing better.

The starting salary for M.Sc Food Science and Technology graduates from IIEST Shibpur is around INR 15,000 - 22,000 per month. The scope of campus placement is pretty slim for this course. Students usually receive recruitment offers through off-campus drives.

Which would be better, metallurgy or biotechnology in NIT Durgapur or metallurgy or mining in IIEST Shibpur?

CJ
Chirag Jain Posted On : September 17th, 2020
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

NIT Durgapur and IIEST Shibpur both are excellent universities for pursuing Bachelor's and Master's in Engineering. Both institutes are located in different parts of West Bengal in famous areas. NIT Durgapur has been ranked and 46th in Engineering Category by the NIRF Rankings in India. It does carry a reputation value to the degree by being a premier institute of Engineering. IIEST is a lesser-known institute but well advanced in their research faculty and content.

In a nutshell:

Colleges

Admission

Placements

Tuition fee

NIT Durgapur

JEE Main

70%

1,49,100

IIEST Shibpur

JEE Main

Metallurgy: 68.6%

Mining: 80.1%

1,37,000

Courses:

  • Metallurgy or Biotechnology at NIT can only be selected after the first year depending on the marks scored by the candidate. Since it is a premier institute, it will be relatively difficult to get the subject of your choice.
  • At IIEST, metallurgy is offered in B.Tech however, mining engineering is only offered in the dual program of B.Tech + M.Tech. Thus students who wish to pursue mining engineering at IIEST Shibpur will have to go for the dual degree program.

Admission:

Admission at NIT would be much more competitive than IIEST. It requires a higher JEE mains rank. The choice of the subject involves even more competitiveness as it is done at the end of the first year based on CGPA. Most students who get selected at NIT do not wish to go for metallurgy, however, if you are interested, then it is one of the best institutes. IIEST is relatively easy when it comes to admissions and choice of subjects.

Placements:

  • At IIEST metallurgy and mining are considered as research-based subjects and thus do not have high paid placements at the start. However, the mining course does offer better placements and opportunities to study at other premium and specific institutes in India which can land a good job in the future.
  • NIT Durgapur, on the other hand, can provide better placements due to its reputation standard.

The B.Tech. program at IIEST may not hold much value, but it is supplemented by excellent research professors who encourage students to take part in national missions and research projects. The competitiveness at NIT won’t provide that opportunity to every student.

CK
Chitra Khandelwal Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Bachelor of Engineering Computer Science, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2018)

I have a few friends at IIEST and based on what I heard I can say that conclusive developments are taking place at IIEST Shibpur for the CSE course. Projects under the supervision of esteemed faculty were introduced in the second year. The curriculum has been improved to become one of the best in India.

There are also visiting faculty from foreign universities such as Harvard and so on. At present, the faculty is working on projects worth crores.

Abroad Internships are available to CSE IIEST students as early as in the first year.

The CSE department at IIEST is now significantly better than that of top NITs. So in short, IIEST Shibpur CSE is the better alternative.
