Computer Science & Technology is a stream that has continuously upgraded its placements year after year making it more preferable be it in undergraduate courses or post-graduate ones.
The highlights regarding the placements are given below:

The placement is therefore at par with the fees taken by the college and it also guarantees a good position in top multinational firms across the globe. The highest & average packages are decent enough in the respective stream.
It is mainly concerned with a naming convention and there is really nothing to it. If you take a look back at the history, the Computer science departments began somewhere around 1982 at both IIEST Shibpur and IIT Bombay. Both the colleges began with different names for the same department and have stuck to it over the years.
If you are only and primarily concerned with this naming, this difference in the name will not have any effect on the course content. You can rest assured about it.
A similar instance is that of BESU Shibpur. They used to honor graduates of engineering courses and the marks they provided were in percentages. This was not the case with a lot of other premier engineering institutes like NITs or IITs where the B. Tech degree is given on the basis of the grade point system.
All these minor differences are something that you do not need to be bothered about. These will definitely not tamper with your career in any way. CST is just the same as CSE.
Good college placements must meet the following requirements-
IIEST Shibpur performs well in all these parameters. It has a placement percentage between 55-60%. It delivers an average package of around 6 LPA, and the highest package close to 45 LPA.
A long list of companies visit the campus for recruitments. These include- Amazon, BHEL, Britannia, Bridge & Roof co., Blue Star, CCD, Coal India, Capgemini, CESC, DXCorr, DVC, Essar, Essar mining, Ericsson, Vedanta, TATA Steel, TATA Metaliks , Microsoft, Hindustan Motors, Unilever, Shapoorji Pallonji, LnT, HSBC, Hyundai, IOCL, ITC, Mahindra, Maruti, Mu sigma, PWC, Samsung , Siemens, TATA power, Hitachi, ZS Associates etc. All these are either core companies or top consultancy giants.
Across all colleges, placements and average packages are shrinking. Even the top colleges witness an average package between 8-11 LPA.
IIEST Shibpur isn’t a top engineering college, it does not receive immense funding, and the student crowd isn’t the best. Keeping all this in mind, its placements are quite good. In fact its placements are growing at a consistent rate.
Here are the 2022 placement details for CST at IIEST Shibpur-
During the 2022 placement season, 68 out of 73 eligible students were placed from B.Tech CST (Computer Science and Technology). 104 offers were made, and 94 selection processes were held in total. In M.Tech CST, 10 out of 12 eligible students were placed. 15 offers were made, and 45 selection processes were held in total.
No data is available for the packages offered branch-wise. However, standard packages were offered to the selected candidates. The list of top recruiters who visited the campus includes- Microsoft IT India, Adobe, Microsoft IDC, Amazon India, Infosys Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services (Digital), and Tata Consultancy Services (Ninja) among others.
Microsoft and Google usually offer profiles like Associate Analyst and Data Analyst, instead of SDE. Many times, Directi and Amazon shortlist students but do not proceed further with the placements. Many times, Adobe is open only to female candidates.
The CST placements are decent, and the best among all departments. If you work hard enough and improve your coding skills, you’ll surely get placed at a decent package in some good brand.
The timetable of the IIEST university has been modified and implemented since 2017. For the working days, i.e. Monday to Friday each week, the timing is as follows.
The rest of the day is yours after the classes finish at 16:35.
Only holidays allowed by the Central Government of India are considered, although during local Bengali festivities you can have holidays if the professors permit. A 4-week long leave is offered after the odd semester. Even semesters commence from the first week of January. After even semesters, you will get an interval of around 2.5 months. During which you can do your internship.
In odd semesters, the number of working days is more than in even semesters. For more details regarding the same, you can check the academic calendar available on the website of the institute.
The list of notable alumni of IIEST Shibpur is infinite and cannot be inscribed in a single document. It is increasing day by day, and so some of the available names of alumni at dignified positions are listed below.
This is just a list of a few famous names among several dignified personnel, CEOs, Directors, VCs, MDs, CMDs, etc in various top institutes, organizations, and MNCs across the globe.
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.

This is the detailed fee structure for M.Tech at IIEST Shibpur. This only includes the academic fees. The mess and hostel charges are separate.
IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU is doing really well in all the departments. Whether it is about faculty or infrastructure it is growing steadily and gradually.
But as one wants to take a deeper look in comparing mechanical engineering, EE and ETC, let’s take a look on it:
