Review on IIEST Shibpur in my view overall.

Placements: 60-70% were placed. The highest package in our college is 51 Lacs per annum. The lowest is 4 Lacs per annum. The median package offered in our college is 7 Lacs per annum. 60% of students got internships in my course at companies like Caterpillar, ISRO.

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.

Faculty: Yes, teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their way of teaching is good. There are 2 exams in 1 semester. They are divided into mid-semester examination and end-semester examination. In the mid-term, half of the syllabus comes in the examination, but in the end-semester examination, the full syllabus will come.

Other: I chose this course because I want to be an aircraft engineer in the future. The best things in my course are that we can gain knowledge about space, aircraft, and many other things related to our daily life. At IIEST Shibpur, there are many events, fests, and programs organized by the whole IIEST Shibpur community.

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.
