IIEST Shibpur: 6 Answered Questions

How is the mechanical engineering department in IIEST, Shibpur as compared to departments like EE and ETC (placement and research-wise)?

Sneha GhoshBachelor of Engg. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2018)

IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU is doing really well in all the departments. Whether it is about faculty or infrastructure it is growing steadily and gradually.

But as one wants to take a deeper look in comparing mechanical engineering, EE and ETC, let’s take a look on it:

The research facility of the mechanical engineering department is quite decent and comparable with EE and ETC.
It is even better at some aspects like it has research collaboration with some of the renowned foreign universities, some of the excellent facilities etc.
When IIEST, Shibpur was known as BESU even then the mechanical engineering was considered to be the highest ranking department in one of these three departments.
Also, one cannot forget to boast of tremendous alumni including a couple of directors of IITs.

Categories	ME	EE	ETC
Placement Percentage	70%	60-70%	70%
Highest CTC	11 LPA	10.5 LPA	12-15 LPA
Average CTC	3-4 LPA	3.5 LPA	4 LPA

When it comes to placement, the mechanical engineering department has a decent placement record so far.
ME and EE have almost equal numbers of core placements. And ETC has less core placements but the highest package is grabbed by ETC itself.
The placement for mechanical engineering is really good though. Core companies such as Maruti Suzuki, CESC, Vedanta, coal India, Tata steel, Bridge and Roof, L&T, elegant marine services come on campus.
So you can easily expect a very bright future of mechanical engineering graduates from IIEST SHIBPUR.
After becoming an IIEST the placements have improved and after 5 years it will improve more.
IIEST, Shibpur has always been known for its excellent core teachings. Also, it has one of the best and oldest labs in the country in EE and Mech which has been improved from time to time.

The college is very good for students interested in any of the three departments as mentioned. All the three mentioned departments are very good in IIEST. The thing that matters is your interest and will.

Which are the subjects taught in the 1st year of Mechanical at IIEST, Shibpur?

Aishwarya PathakStudied at IIEST, Shibpur

The Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, formerly known as Bengal Engineering and Science University, is a premier technical institute in India that offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in various engineering and science fields. The first year of the Mechanical Engineering program at IIEST, Shibpur, is a common curriculum for all engineering streams.

Here are the subjects taught in the first year of the Mechanical Engineering program at IIEST, Shibpur:

Engineering Mathematics-I: This subject covers topics such as calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and complex numbers.
Engineering Physics-I: This subject covers the fundamental concepts of classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves.
Engineering Chemistry-I: This subject covers the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry, including topics such as stoichiometry, chemical equilibrium, and acid-base reactions.

Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering: This subject covers the basic concepts of electrical circuits, including DC and AC circuits, electromagnetic fields, and electronic devices.
Engineering Mechanics: This subject covers the principles of statics and dynamics, including the laws of motion, equilibrium, and the analysis of structures.

Which course is better...mechanical engineering dual degree at IIEST Shibpur or 4 years degree mechanical engineering degree at NIT DURGAPUR?

Shalini MitraB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, IIEST, Shibpur (2020)

When you complete a course of four years normally, you complete your graduation with the fundamentals of your branch which allows you to pursue higher studies if they are in your interests. It also gives you the option, at the same time, to complete your undergraduate degree in another subject if you wish to.

If you want to pursue a dual course, it can probably put a dent in your freedom to pursue your interests and you will be ‘rewarded’ with the master’s degree. Another problem after receiving the master’s degree would be the confusion about looking for a job, pursuing a doctorate in the field of your interest(s).

The dual degree in mechanical will demand more dedication from you but the four-year degrees are easier compared to those. Mechanical engineering is a good option if going for higher studies is in your interests.

Which is better, NIT Surathkal for mechanical or IIEST Shibpur for CSE?

Avni MallickB.Tech. Mining Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

Both NIT Surathkal and IIEST Shibpur are amazing institutes and the departments of the mentioned branches are at their best. The deciding factor here is your branch of interest.

If you are inclined towards Mechanical Engineering, you must opt for NITK. If you are more into coding IIEST must be your choice.
Another factor to look for if you are not that specific about the branch to study is the institute's proximity to your home.
The one which is easily accessible must be preferably your choice.
Shibpur is very well connected to all major cities. Frequent industry visits are conducted.
NITK Surathkal is located in Karnataka. Their campus is the best. They even have a beach surrounding its campus.

Categories	CSE at IIEST Shibpur	Mechanical at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee	5.68 lakhs	5.40 lakhs
Highest CTC	29-35 LPA	28 LPA
Average CTC	17-18 LPA	10-15 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc.	L&T, JP Morgan, IOCL, GAIL, etc.

But when we compare placements in the CSE branch of IIEST Shibpur to the mechanical branch of NITK, IIEST Shibpur wins hands down. The decision here ultimately comes down to you. Consider all the above factors and choose wisely.
