IIEST Shibpur Placements 2022: Highest Package: INR 45 LPA

Considering the placement stats after doing a lot of research, one thing is very clear that IIEST ends up with 100% placements every year among which 2-3 CSE/IT students get placed in top-notch companies like Google, Microsoft at an exorbitant compensation package as compares to average package figure of the institute. However, from an independent perspective, the average salary is still at the bottom-line if you consider other tiers 2 colleges. There are certain reasons for it such as:

Recognition:

This is one of the major reasons for such placement stats. Almost nobody outside West Bengal knows that there is an Engineering college name IIEST Shibpur and the same happens with the recruiters as well. People might ask you such questions like where is your college located. Which is this college? Etc.

Alumni Network: 

IIEST Shibpur does not have a very strong alumni base in the companies that can influence the companies to conduct any recruitment drive in the college.

Placement Cell:

Most of the students of IIEST Shibpur will agree to the fact that the institute really needs to work upon its existing placement coordination procedure.

Overall, the institute needs to work hard on their placement cells if they want to improve the placement stats. Then only there will be a scope that students of IIEST Shibpur will get some placements.

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.

• 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.

My sister was in the batch of (2014-18) at IIEST Shibpur. There were 84 students in her batch, 19 chose a dual degree, and about 60 students were eligible for placements. The major recruiters were M.N Dastur, ZS Associates, HSBC, CGI information systems and management consultants, etc. 

The recent placement highlights for Civil Engineering at the institute are as follows.

This is the placement scenario of the Civil branch at IIEST Shibpur. The number of students applied for placements also matters. Due to their training for GATE, ESE or CAT, etc, or simply the lack of interest in private work, there are a number of students who don’t appear willingly on-campus placement. 

My brother attended IIEST Shibpur. So, I know a little bit about the institute. 

• The School of Management (SoM) is quite young considering its inception was just 15 years ago. 
• As far as the faculty is concerned, they are all young, willing to learn, and are quite open to connecting with students. 
• You see, the school is in fact a part of a larger science and technology institute. Thus, it is trying to offer various multi-disciplinary opportunities to students.
• On the other hand, you will find that the school also has a larger placement cell. Due to this, they have created a brand name that has a positive impact on students.

If you are one of those students who do not mind going beyond normal boundaries and learning beyond theory, want to gain practical knowledge, and try experimental learning, you should definitely go to IIEST SoM.

No, it is more or less the same as a bachelor's. Not just at IIEST Shibpur, the scenario of placements for Masters is more or less the same at every institute in India.

If you pursuing Masters then you should keep your aim straight to get a Company related to your branch or pursuing higher studies (Ph.D.) for the teaching line. B.Tech level hiring is more or less the same in M.Tech at the institute. There are some departments in M.Tech which have a moderate placement. The other departments do not offer good placement opportunities. But at IIEST Shibpur you will get the best learning opportunities. 

At last, it is up to you only which field you are choosing. If you want a job then go for it with for B.Tech degree, If you want a purely technical job then go for a master's and if you want an academic line then go for further higher studies i.e. Ph.D. from abroad.

From the half-century of its existence, the newfound department of Architecture had produced 800 graduates in Architecture and 300 postgraduates in Town Planning.

NASA (National Association of Students of Architecture) was founded by the undergrad students collectively. The association is non-political and non-profitable. The department has a dynamic student’s body. Even its Alumni are spread across the world and the senior-junior relationship is wonderful.

Teaching:

• The professors are experienced, but they have a small ounce of work experience. So, their teaching lacks the upgraded trends and technologies that are being used in the present day. Even the syllabus is outdated.
• Most of the professors are not very student-friendly. It is better to maintain professionalism.
• Initially, the students find the college burdensome, but with time it is manageable. Most classes are held regularly.

Placement:

• There is hardly any placement assistance in this department. Students have to arrange the job/ internship for themselves. 
• Construction companies that visit the campus are not interested in recruiting architecture students. 
• Hardly 4-5 students get selected in MN Dastur. Although if a student has maintained a decent portfolio, they can get a job at lower packages.

IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges in eastern India in terms of infrastructure, campus, cultural fests (REBECA), and accommodation. The architecture department is the most active. Five years of architecture are packed with learning and growing.
