A good technological institution.

Placements: The placements were decent but not good. The highest package received was 11LPA. However, the average package was quite low at 3.5LPA. The seniors did slightly better as PSUs came recruiting as well, but PSUs tend to have quotas for reserves categories and general category students face a disadvantage there. The internship programme is not very well developed and mostly non-paid.

Good placements, decent infrastructure.

Placements: Placement scenario decent in IIST Shibpur. Lots of software companies visit the campus. A placement committee should be present in camous for better placement scenario. The number of companies visiting campus can be increased to a great extent with proper planning and execution.

The college has a wonderful campus. Other than the facility everything is really good.

Placements: The IT service companies offered an average salary of around Rs. 3.5 lakhs and the students were mostly appointed in the roles like the software engineer, solution integrator, data analyst etc. A very small percentage was offered for the internship and stipend offered was about Rs. 18,000.

The department of architecture in the college needs attention.

Placements: Well, the department of architecture does not have placement opportunities as such. The students are allowed to sit for the companies (hardly two) which comes mainly for recruiting the civil students and are willing to take architects as hardly 1-2 are recruited. If you are lucky, each year there are 25 architect graduates. Most of the students join the design studios or go for higher studies. As for the package, the industry standards are low, and one can expect Rs. 25,000 per month if he joins...

Other than the faculty and staff, everything is good in the college.

Placements: Apart from 2-4 students, all were placed, and this has been a trend for some time. The average salary was around 3.5 LPA offered by the IT services companies. The students were mostly offered the roles of software engineers, solution integrators, data analysts, etc. A small percentage, only 5-6 students, were offered the internships. The stipend was about 18-20K per month.

Complete focus on maintaining the quality while improving the quantity.

Placements: The first batch of IIESTS will pass out in 2018 ( till now the pass-out batches were of BESU ). But ever since the college turned from BESU to IIESTS, the placements are better at a rocking rate. For example, the highest package jumped up to Rs. 46 LPA in 2016 from Rs. 26 LPA in 2015.

Placements: The placement condition in the college is just an okay type, not very good like IITs and top NITs. It is improving year by year since it has been upgraded to IIEST. Companies like IBM, TCS, Wipro, CGI, Veritas, Microsoft, Samsung, PWC, ZS, CTS and Reve System visit here for the IT sector. Less number of core companies visit here. The placement percentage for core is about 70 and for IT branches, it is about 80.
