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.
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-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.
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.

So, you can definitely choose IIEST Shibpur for Civil Engineering. But for placements don’t depend entirely on the institute.
Here are some useful tips which may come in handy during your time at the institute.
Academics:
It is the most important factor. From the first year itself, you need to maintain a CGPA of 8.5. If you wish to top your class, you need to study regularly. If you do not study on a regular basis make sure to start preparing at least 2-3 weeks prior to examination. Solve previous years’ questions so that you don’t repent later. Interact with sincere seniors. Their experience can be helpful. Make sure to collect previous year’s questions, questions are usually repeated.
VT or Internships:
During placement, recruiters ask for internship experiences. Apply for internships preferably in a government institute after completing 1st or 2nd year of your course. You will get the information on the official website. Ask your seniors too. They can also provide useful information. Vocational training is important for core branches. You can do your vocational training in any industry like thermal power plants or steel plants.
CV:
Try to build a strong CV. You can go for Tedx, it has good international recognition. Participate in big fests and try to win, these look good on a CV.
Sports:
The institute does not place much focus on sports. But you should try to participate in games and sports. There are inter hostel, inter-department tournaments, and also fests organized by halls and hostels.
Seminars:
Try to attend seminars on the topics that interest you. If you are interested in competitive examinations like GATE, CAT, or others attending seminars organized by coaching institutes will be a big help.
Hope these tips will help you.
