What are some things that day scholars at IIEST Shibpur should know?
The foremost and unfortunate thing that you being a day scholar of IIEST should know is that you are missing a lot on the most important part of college life.
And if you have planned to be a day scholar throughout college life, then you surely are going to regret this because hostel life is the most beautiful part of your engineering journey.
My best friend is currently a hosteller at IIEST Shibpur and according to him the biggest secret to real college life at IIEST begins at the end of your hectic lectures and labs. But if you are a day scholar, you’ll already be on your bus journey to your home and that’s it.
There are millions of ways for you to build your 4 or 5 years engineering career in the most enjoyable way but if you are a hosteller, then you can architect the life you are building according to your wish.
My friend and his peers believe the most enjoyable and incomparable part of college is spent within the boundaries of the college itself. And these are the boundaries within which there is no boundary to your fun and craziness which you won’t get to experience ever after.
Also, there are a lot of clubs in IIEST SHIBPUR like Litsoc, Robotics, CodeIIEST, etc. and the sessions for all the clubs are scheduled after classes i.e. after 5 pm. In case you want to indulge yourself in any of the club's activities seriously, you are supposed to attend the meetings and sessions which is not really impossible for day scholars but may seem a problematic task if your home is far from college.
Regarding the buses from B.garden, you will come to know the details in 2 days only because it’s easy to find the way home back.
All in all, don’t miss any chance of fun because this time will not come again.
Can I get into the IT branch in IIEST Shibpur with a JEE Mains rank of 27.5k and an outside state?

For B.Tech Information Technology, the recent cutoff for outside and home state students at IIEST were as follows.
- Home State - 11084 - 13249

Which is better, NIT Surathkal for mechanical or IIEST Shibpur for CSE?
Both NIT Surathkal and IIEST Shibpur are amazing institutes and the departments of the mentioned branches are at their best. The deciding factor here is your branch of interest.
- If you are inclined towards Mechanical Engineering, you must opt for NITK. If you are more into coding IIEST must be your choice.
- Another factor to look for if you are not that specific about the branch to study is the institute's proximity to your home.
- The one which is easily accessible must be preferably your choice.
- Shibpur is very well connected to all major cities. Frequent industry visits are conducted.
- NITK Surathkal is located in Karnataka. Their campus is the best. They even have a beach surrounding its campus.

Which is better, IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University CSE placements?
Jadavpur University and IIEST Shibpur are both well-known institutes in the country. I have some friends at both institutes. Based on what I heard from them, I will say for CSE, Jadavpur will be a better choice.
Jadavpur is considered as the best institute in all of West Bengal when it comes to engineering especially CSE. Jadavpur is known to be the pioneer of CSE in India along with ISI and therefore had a head start. Jadavpur University has a better record of quality of education and the opportunities it provides to the students.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that IIEST is not a good option. IIEST is also a very reputed institution in our country and a pioneer in some engineering courses and research fields. You can certainly keep IIEST as your second option after JU.
Here is a brief outline of the CSE course offered by the institutions.
