How was your first year at IIEST Shibpur?

My first year at IIEST Shibpur was full of new experiences. 

I arrived at the campus on a Sunday. I had to share a room with three other B.Tech students. One of them was from CST like me, and the other two were from Mechanical. I was quite nervous about sharing a room with so many other people. 

I was careless enough to not have checked the class schedule. On learning that our morning classes start at 8 am, I was a little shook. I wasn’t a morning person, so the thought of waking up that early was an unpleasant one. 

For my first academic day at IIEST, I woke up by 6 am and got ready by 7:30 am. My friend and I attended the electronics class, mistaking it for our English lecture. We laughed a lot on our silly mistake, and went on attending the rest of the classes as per schedule, till 5 pm. 

The seniors were friendly, given that one remained in their good books. My hostel friends and the time spent with them, is the most precious take away from IIEST for me. The first year schedule is quite grilling, and added to it are the PT classes. Regardless, I’ll always cherish the memories I made at IIEST Shibpur.
