Is a dual degree in IT a good option at IIEST Shibpur?

IIEST is accepting admissions only for BTech degree from 2017, and you will get an option to prolong with Dual Degree course or study only BTech.

IT is one of the finest Dual Degree Courses in this institute, considering both the placement statistics and academics.

Additionally, the IT department of IIEST has the best researchers. This department publishes approximately 3000+ research papers, as per NIRF 2016 counting. However, the research is conducted mainly from the areas of Signal Processing, ML, and core computing areas.

If you are considering placement, you must look at the following table, although there are many IITs and NITs who claim that they give better placement.

However, the IT students here get several esteemed internship opportunities in IIT KGP, GSoC, IIT M, IIT B, IIIT A, and Abroad. One of my friends told me that one of his batch mates (a 3rd-year student) got selected by Google to complete his internship in California (this type of opportunity is very hard to get, especially from a country like India).

Thus, it can be mentioned that IT is one of the promising streams to be studied from this institute that is IIEST.
