NIT Durgapur - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

IIEST, Shibpur for sure. The placements at IIEST, Shibpur has always been better than that of NIT, Durgapur. And with each passing year, the placements are getting better. The highest package offered in 2016 was Rs. 46 Lacs per annum. Ever since its transformation from BESU to IIEST, it has been attracting the attention of reputed firms and the placements are getting better since then. Check the official website of IIEST, Shibpur for further details about placements.

Let me tell you one thing, only core NIT's have good placement all other are also fine, but not as good compared to VIT University, because VIT University offers good placements in CSE, IT, ECE branch and as compared to NIT Durgapur. Chemical branch is not up to the marks, because in the end branch does matter, so it is better to take VIT.

Probably looking at the record, entrance in IIEST is quite tough at this rank. But, you may get admission in mining department. Last year, closing rank for your category in this department was 28098. Closing ranks for all other departments were less than this. As far as NIT, Durgapur is concerned, you may get admission in metallurgy and materials engineering or bio technology branch.

You can choose MME.
I don't know much about the IIEST Shibpur College and I couldn't evoked about this institutions too
But I can give some suggestions as an alumni of metallurgical engineering from VNIT, Nagpur don't prefer MME instead opt for any circuit stream in the other college as per your preferences.Why I'm suggesting you is that there are no placements for metallurgist students since batch of 2013 to 2014 onwards there is no decent placement and everyone take the admission merely wanted to land with decent package after their graduation and no one rely wanted to learn the engineering subjects such a huge investigated of four years life and except some topper dudes 510% out of 100% of total strength of the distinct branches .
Basically MME comes under manufacturing sector like making gears and launching new machines for implementing the new innovative ideas to develop new technologies with help of producing quality and flawless output and making every customers compensations etc and its giving sounds good right and most of the manufacturing sectors must hire MME students but instead of hiring metallurgy students they are hiring Diploma and mechanical students.
