Is IIEST Shibpur better than the NITs and new IITs?

One of my friends missed IIT by a few marks and that left him devastated. Nonetheless, his experience at the institute was quite good. Here are some snippets from his duration at the institute. 

After a few months at the institute, he made some great friends and he started enjoying college life. After 1 academic year, he started working in events, attended some workshops, got sponsors for tech fest, learned so much about so many different things. That gave him the courage to support his friend's plan for a TEDx event at the college. He's one of the guys who started a TEDx legacy in this 160-year-old Institution of Higher Learning. 

One of the reasons why he chose to stay at the institute as a junior, is the vast alumni network. Every corner of the globe IIEST is the one to hold top managerial positions in various industries. The college got a donation of over 350 crores for a research Hospital by an alumnus. It’s true once IIEST was amongst the best 5 in our country until politics in West Bengal destroyed their legacy.

IIEST has the zeal to keep the Bengal Engineering College at the top. NIRF-MHRD 2020 ranked IIEST Shibpur 21, but visit the college and witness why the students who pass out from this Institute somehow end up being the best in their fields.
