A place in Howrah which holds the heritage of engineering like no other college in India.
Placements: Currently, around fifty percent of our batch has been placed in really good companies like Microsoft, Google, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Accenture, Barclays, McKinsey, and many more, and are placed with pretty good CTCs. The top roles offered in our college are SDE, Analyst, and Data Scientist.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are good. There is a mess and a night canteen for everyone. The mess serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the night canteen, which is open 24/7, provides snacks and a lot of other things that can satisfy your midnight cravings.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful, and they genuinely want to see you grow. They are always ready to help you and will even go as far as talking to HRs of different companies for your placements if you're having any difficulties.

All About IIEST. It is India's 2nd oldest engineering college.
Placements: In the Department of Electrical Engineering, around 85% of students get placed every year. The highest salary package offered in our department this year is 37 LPA by Texas Instruments. The average salary package offered is around 7 LPA - 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Texas Instruments and Tata Steel. Students got internships at Texas Instruments and ICICI Bank.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good. Air-conditioned classrooms are available from the second year. There are 3-4 air conditioners in each room. Computer and simulation labs are fully air-conditioned. The hostel has Wi-Fi. A canteen is available for 1st-year boys. Washing machines are on each floor. There is no electricity bill. We have a table tennis room in the hostel. Students get all sports accessories like badminton, cricket, football, chess, etc. Hostels do not provide air conditioners.
Faculty: Faculty members are very qualified. In our department, most professors are gold medalists and have Ph.D. degrees from foreign. The syllabus of all courses is modern. In each semester, there is one mid-semester and one end-semester. To pass the subject you have to score at least 40 marks out of 80 marks of which 20 marks are internal.
Other: I chose this department because of my interest in electricity and current. The best thing about our course is that from our department, most companies offer placements after the computer science and technology department. There are 13 clubs in our College. The annual fest named Rebecca is held.

My college life at IIEST, SHIBPUR.
Placements: About 83 percent of students were placed in my course in 2024. The highest on-campus package was 39 LPA and the highest off-campus package was 83 LPA in my course. The average package for my course was 14 LPA. Most of the recruiting companies were TCS, Wipro, Microsoft, and Google. Most of the students in my course were offered roles as software programmers.
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. The health card is provided for all the students at the college so our hospital bills are covered. The food is not very good in the hostel. Even sports facilities are not very good. Only two large grounds are there in the college.
Faculty: Most of our faculty are locals who speak Bengali. So their English is mixed with a Bengali accent, which is very hard to understand. The course curriculum is relevant, which makes the students ready for the placements. The semester exams are very difficult so the certificate has a very high value. The pass percentage is 40%.
Other: I chose the course because many people told me there were high chances of placement in my course. The campus is in the Howrah city area so connectivity is good. The campus has nearly 2800 students from all courses and 750 faculty members. Our college fest, Rebecca, is the second-oldest fest in India.

Indian institute of Science and technology Shibpur - future IIT.
Placements: Good percentage of students get placed. The lowest package 4 Lacs, the highest 59 Lacs. TI, TCS, Google, Microsoft some in college. There offers good package and good role. About all in 3rd year got internship because it is mandatory to do internship in 3rd year.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is little bit old but still it is good and can be done better. There are required number of classes in the building and seminar hall also for various activities. Overall infrastructure is little bit of good. There are so many hostels are there.
Faculty: Faculty is actually good and supportive. They teaches good things and very much good in their field and do so much of research works. Technology understanding is also good. They are little strict but restriction is good sometimes and it also there. Curriculum is hard.

My college days and campus life.
Placements: I am in Mechanical Engineering and more than 80% of students get placed every year in this course of B.Tech. The highest salary package was around 60 LPM and the lowest salary package was around 8 LPA. More than 70% of the students get internships.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is more than average in our course, and department infrastructure is also good. But internet facility in our department is poor, but Wi-Fi is available. Quality and facilities of a hostel have always been average.
Faculty: Faculty members and professors are helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good for some professors, but for others, it can be a bit hard to understand. Semester exams are difficult but can be passed with hard work.
Other: I chose this course because I like it and have an interest in machines. The best part is gaining practical knowledge here. Many events and fests happen throughout the year.
