It has strong academics in Physics with a good and peaceful research environment.

Faculty: Professors are very helpful and guide us in exams like CSIR, NET, GATE, and JEST. They are heavily qualified in their research areas. The M.Sc. in Physics course is mainly research-oriented, so it is for research areas more than an industrial job. Semester exams are moderately difficult and require regular study and conceptual understanding.

Good faculty, decent placements, strong alumni network, and average infrastructure.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified but teaching quality varies across subjects. Curriculum covers basics but is slightly outdated and not fully industry-oriented. Students need extra effort like internships and self-study to be industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate and most students pass with regular preparation.

It's not good like IIT but a good tier to NIT.

Faculty: Many teachers are graduates from out of the country and teachers explain in good ways how they solve our doubts also. The course curriculum is relevant. The semester exams are moderate. Questions are based on the concept that one always learnt a new things.

Old college yet excels at modern engineering.

Faculty: Academically, teachers are very good and friendly. They are very supportive of research and projects. I feel the curriculum is a bit outdated, it'll be better if they include more practical subjects and hopefully remove some useless subjects. Semester exams are relatively easy. Mostly, 95 percent of students pass with a CGPA above 7.

Really good college, like if you make good friends who hustle and are fun at the same time.

Faculty: All teachers are very helpful and well qualified, which will help with their greater insight for a better future in the particular branch. The teaching quality is very good with smart boards and comfortable seats. The curriculum has recently been changed and has become more relevant for the upcoming students. Exams are very decent, not too hard, not too simple, but you can get help from the professor if you are active in class. The passing marks are 40% and above. All this pretty much makes us r...

My honest review about my college.

Faculty: Faculty is just more than my expectation. I am being taught by scientists and researchers some of them have done their research and some have written books on NCERT and other boards. Most of the faculty here have either done their Ph.D. or postdocs from abroad. They have worked with many Nobel Prize winners in chemistry. We have only 12 classes and 3 labs per week and are awarded Saturday off along with Sunday. So we had enough time to have fun and spend time on other activities.

IIEST Shibpur is worth it or not.

Faculty: In this college teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. Their teaching quality is nice. In first year all students have to study basics of all departments so I don't know that much about course curriculum but as per my knowledge our college curriculum is good. Semester exams difficult level is moderate to difficult, and pass percentage is around 80%-85%.

It is the 2nd oldest engineering college and the only IIEST in India.

Faculty: Exams are easy to pass if we are willing to put in effort, either one night before or throughout the whole semester. Teachers are approachable and quite frankly. They want us to excel no matter what we do in life. The curriculum I would say is a bit outdated though newer technologies are being taught in higher semesters.
