Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] + Master of Technology [M.Tech] (Computer Science & Engineering) From IIEST Shibpur, Howrah

There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference. 

According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.

Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.

Being one of the most prestigious Universities in India, IIEST Shibpur sees a lot more top companies for placement purposes every year. Jadavpur University on the other hand also has a high placement rate but oversees more core companies as compared to IIEST.

• Funds: IIEST Shibpur receives a high amount of funding from the central government annually, being a public university, and therefore has a better campus, more equipped facilities, and better tech services as compared to Jadavpur University.
• Crowd: Since IIEST is considered among the top college of national importance, it enrolls students from all over the country, therefore, making it a diverse environment culturally.
• Placements: Although, for students looking for courses in CSE, Jadavpur University is known to offer a 100% placement record with an average salary package of 19.96 LPA. Some of the top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Reliance, Samsung, Oracle, and more. IIEST offers the highest placements across the Information Technology branch with an average salary of 5 LPA.
• Course Offered: If students are looking for an integrated course that offers placement services, then the BTech+MTech dual degree course offered by IIEST Shibpur is apt considering Jadavpur University does not offer dual degree courses as part of their curriculum. But in terms of individual placements in the streams of Civil, Mechanical, andEE, Jadavpur University offers some great placements for students amongst some top recruiting companies.

Being well known nationally, IIEST attracts more number of companies for placements but Jadavpur University offers a higher number of core company placements across specific streams. It offers the highest salary package of 42 LPA whereas IIEST offers the highest salary package of 39.12 LPA.

Therefore, students can make a choice related to which university offers better placements depending upon the core subjects they are looking at studying.
