Is Wi-Fi is available at the IIEST Shibpur hostel?

NG

On papers, there is. Each floor has a Wi-Fi router or sometimes 2 Wi-Fi routers installed for the students and also there is 1 JAXB Wi-Fi installed at a common point amidst all the hostels for common access.

 But in reality, you would consider yourself lucky if you are in rooms like 01, 03 or 10, 11. These are the extreme most rooms on each floor and get good Wi-Fi connections with decent speed. If you get a room near to the router you might get a speed around 5mbps or sometimes even 10mbps with an average speed of 2mbps. But if you are not, then you have to depend on luck. Only when others are not using, you might get some decent speed around 1mbps.

Moreover, the college Wi-Fi blocks many sites. For example, you can’t open YouTube, till the afternoon. The library and departmental Wi-Fi are far better than the hostel ones. Sometimes, the CS and Chemistry dept. WiFi download speed reaches 100mbps.

Nishikesh Roy Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

If you are somehow not specific on what branch, then a rank up to 22,000 (other states) can be expected to safely accomplish a branch at IIEST, Shibpur. You require to obtain marks of about 150 - 160 in JEE Mains for that.

For home-state students, the closing cutoff is usually around 30000 in general. 

Cutoff: 

The recent cutoff trends at the institute are tabulated below.

Branch 

2019

2018

Aerospace Engineering 

1499 - 22344

3729 - 20377

19784 - 28592

20850 - 27215

Architecture, Town & Regional Planning 

748 - 2155

940 - 1372

My cousin’s JEE-Main score was 142, and the normalized score was 175. Since there is no normalization nowadays, a suggestion would be to work hard for the score. 

And, a score anywhere between 180 would give you a position in the stream of your choice, you can be confident about that. Hope this gave you an idea about the score required to take admission at IIEST Shibpur.

Can I change department in IIEST Shibpur?

SB
Shalini Bist Posted On : April 16th, 2021
B.E. Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

Most of the institutes do not allow students to change the department. But, IIEST Shibpur allows the students to change at the end of the first year of graduation.

The process of change is mentioned below:

  • The first step to change is to fill the application form for a change of department.
  • Change is allowed in the department based on CGPA.
  • For this, you need to work pretty hard in the freshman year. You must secure a minimum of 9 CGPA. The interested students must be in the top 10% of the batch to be eligible for any change.
  • Each department states its vacancy limits. If you have applied for a popular branch, your application for change might be rejected as many students will be ahead of you.

The first-year syllabus is the basics of all the departments. It explains the basics of computer programming, electronic engineering, and others to all freshers. The change crops down after one month of classes. So, the students need to catch up with the departmental changes.

IIEST offers an under-graduation course in engineering and architecture, but you cannot change your department if you are admitted to the architecture department. It is better to choose for architecture department carefully as there will be no change after opting for it.

Which is the better choice, IIIT Sri City or IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering?

AS
Abhay Sukla Posted On : March 5th, 2021
B.Tech Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

Here IIEST Shibpur will be a better choice for civil engineering as it is one of the oldest civil engineering colleges in our country and has improved a lot since its inception.

Batch Size: 

One of my friends goes to IIEST, according to him the Civil Department has more than 100 students in a single batch. 

Faculty:

The faculty of the civil engineering department is experienced, knowledgeable, and are highly qualified. They are great at teaching the concepts and are nice and friendly too. However, faculties sometimes tend to use Bangali while teaching, which is difficult to follow for out-of-state students. 

Campus Life:

The campus is also very beautiful and the lifestyle at college is very lively. The hostel also provides many services and a student can decide the menu for their lunch and dinner.

Collaborations: 

IIEST Shibpur has collaborations with the following institutes. 

  • University of Queensland
  • University of Hiroshima
  • Hokkaido University
  • University of South Wales
  • Zurich University
  • California University
  • University of Cambridge

So, you can definitely choose IIEST Shibpur for Civil Engineering. But for placements don’t depend entirely on the institute.

Which one of these two is better for M.Sc in physics, IIEST Shibpur or NIT Durgapur? Are there any placements for M.Sc students at IIEST?

AS
Akriti Sinha Posted On : August 16th, 2022
B.Tech in Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur

NIT Durgapur will be better for an M.Sc Physics. The quality of academics and exposure offered is better than any of the non-tech institutes in the region. Most students prepare for competitive examinations like NET, GATE, JEST, BARC, ISRO, etc. NITD also has collaborations with many national institutes and research labs. 

Yes, IIEST offers placements to MSc students. But the salary packages offered aren’t very high.

Is it easy to get a 9 CGPA at IIEST Shibpur?

SN
Subhadra Nandi Posted On : March 12th, 2021
Bachelor of Engg. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

It might be not so difficult but not too easy. If you can sit and study for 8 hours and stretch longer you can get 9 pointers easily and successfully. If you spend most of your time wasting, then it is very much possible and sure you aren’t getting either of pointer and knowledge. Also, getting a 9 pointer or more is easy if you have interest in the field you are pursuing.

  • It is to be noticed that, it’s relative to your credibility to the department you are seeking engineering in.
  • Some departments are easier to score good grades while others aren’t.
  • The number of 9 pointers varies department wise. On an average you cannot see many 9 pointers in a class. Very few are that studious.
  • You have to be sincere, regular, and attentive in classes to be a 9 pointer and to maintain your high CGPA.
  • You can achieve a CGPA more than 9 and above, but you have to be regular and attend at least 80% of class in a semester.
  • Give constant efforts to complete your syllabus before the exam day and solve maximum of your assignments and tutorials yourself. Then getting 9 pointers will become easier.
  • Also, you should do really well in practicals as it adds on the marks, increasing your pointer eventually.
  • You have to revise all the notes and books time to time and thoroughly before your exams.
  • Preparing the notes is vital. 

Yes, you can achieve 9 pointers with genuine approach and studies. Write as well as read enough books while preparing for exams. This will eventually help you in not only exams but also in gaining knowledge. Following these pointers will also help you.

What are the best things for IIEST Shibpur students to do on weekends?

SD
Samrat Datta Posted On : March 5th, 2021
B.E. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2018)

The weekends at IIEST Shibpur are different because there are not any classes. Everybody gets a much longer time to try to do the thing they enjoy doing.

A friend of mine used to spend the entire weekend playing Counter-strike or FIFA. Many others also catch up on sleep. 

Except for Monday lab report submissions or exams within the Monday morning slot, students usually play, chat, watch movies, enjoy or do whatever gives them satisfaction during the weekend. This spares the weekends that involve INSTRUO or REBECA because the whole student community revels in these two events during that point. Apart from these two festivals, there is no uniformity within the best things that one can do on weekends while studying at IIEST Shibpur. Students just do whatever they enjoy doing which they keep on doing on weekdays too, but just for a slightly longer period.

Which one should I choose, Aerospace at IIEST or ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology, given that I'm interested in both?

SM
Shalini Mehra Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering,Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology

Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation. 

IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT. 

However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job. 

ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.
