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...

The glory of IIEST Shibpur, Kolkata.

Faculty: Teachers are well-experienced, knowledgeable, and masters in their field. The curriculum is not that relevant compared to the current job market scenario, but this is also the case with other national institutes. Semester exams are not that difficult, a reasonable amount of study helps in cracking them easily.

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.

My honest review of my college.

Faculty: The course is designed based on CSIR, NET, and JRF (for PhD and UPSC CGE through which we can get a job in GSI or CGWB. Faculty members are highly qualified.

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 was the best period of my life to spend such a memorable time there.

Faculty: The teaching quality is average, but professors are well-qualified. The course curriculum is relevant and makes me industry-ready. The semester exam is chill for me, mostly, previous year's questions repeat in the exam. The passing grade for the semester exam is 4 SGPA.

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.

Faculty: Professors and staff are very helpful and supportive. All are well-qualified and experts in their fields. Academics are slightly harder than in other NITs. The semester examination is divided into two parts: 1. Mid-semester examination 2. End-semester examination. The mid-sem is easier than the end-sem.
