Good campus life and exposure. Old infrastructure but enough. Good placements and faculty.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is of good speed, and the library is very good, but there is no AC. Canteen facilities are very good, and you will get multiple canteens. Sports facilities are good, especially for cricket, volleyball, football, table tennis, and basketball. You can be a member of the institute team and participate in inter-NIT events if you are a good player. Labs are also more than enough. The infrastructure is old but sufficient.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our campus is old. It is not better compared to other NITs. There are 3 hostels available for girls. A 1000-seater hostel is under construction for boys. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel. Among the 3 hostels, 1 is for freshers.

Satisfied with faculty members, good placement in 2020, good infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Classrooms are okay but the sound system is very bad. Backbenchers can't hear anything. Labs are very good. Library is open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Mess food is very bad, but there are vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections. All hostels have particular gym and badminton court.

Dissatised with infrastructure and placements. Really good teaching faculty members.

Infrastructure: IIEST is the second-oldest engineering college in India. So, the infrastructure is not as good as expected. Food in the hostel mess is not very tasty, but it is healthy. Both indoor and outdoor games are available at the hostels. They conduct inter-hostel competitions among the hostels. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and classrooms. Campus has 4 canteens. Hospital facility is available 24 hours on campus.

My college life at IIEST, SHIBPUR.

Infrastructure: My college's infrastructure is very bad even the infrastructure of my course is bad, comparatively, it is good compared to other courses in my college, as there are AC classrooms in only two courses: computer science and technology and electrical. Hostel infrastructure is very bad. It is worse than our college infrastructure. Wi-Fi is available and can only be used for certain tasks.

College with billion dreams, which come true because of knowledge delivered by the teachers here.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi frequency and quality are average I would rate about 2.5 stars for that out of 5. Overall infrastructure is nice. Classrooms have good air conditioning with lot of windows and stuff. Students have no issues at all while learning in classrooms. Hostel is very poor for freshers like us they won't provide hot water also, food tastes very bad. I wouldn't recommend this college for a South Indian boy or girl they can't tolerate here.

Absolutely satisfied because of our college faculty and internship opportunities.

Infrastructure: Our college has a full Wi-Fi network all around the campus, along with the hostel and library. It has good infrastructure, and food in the mess is average. We can make our food menu. There will be a selection in our hostel for the mess committee to prepare a good menu that is eatable.

My honest review regarding IIEST SHIBPUR.

Infrastructure: Since the college was established in 1856, the infrastructure is quite old and not up to the mark. Many buildings need to be renovated and repaired. For first-year students, all classes take place in the same building. There is a central library for all students on campus. Each classroom is equipped with a blackboard, and there is a digital board used for teaching as well.

Campus Review of IIEST Shibpur.

Infrastructure: The department infrastructure is well-equipped with electrical machines and provides a good internet connection. The classrooms are spacious enough to accommodate 60 students at a time. The library is extensive, housing a wide range of books and a large study area. The hostel provides meals three times a day, with food that is both of good quality and quantity.

Good Quality of Education, Moderate Infrastructure, and Placements, Overall Good College.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite good, with well-equipped labs for each department, Wi-Fi available in every building, good air-conditioned classrooms, and a great collection of books in the library. The hostels are not that well-furnished. The condition is quite poor, and the quality of food is not too good for daily consumption. Also, every student cannot be accommodated in the hostel facility because of the limited number of rooms, even though they are planning to build new hostels ...
