IIEST Shibpur - Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Howrah Answered Questions

You must have a Bachelors degree from a recognised university in Home Science or Nutrition or Dietetics or Food Science or Biology or Microbiology or Clinical Biochemistry or Life Sciences or BNYS (Naturopathy) or B.A.M.S. (Ayurveda) or PG Diploma in Dietetics with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate.

NIRF ranking is not everything.NIT Durgapur ranks 47 and IIEST, Shibpur ranks 30. I will suggest you to go for Shibpur if you are interested in civil engineering or else if you are interested in mechanical engineering then choose NIT Durgapur. If you are not stream biased then choose Shibpur. Why? Here are some advantages-
1. Better placement cell
2. Nearby Kolkata
3. Offers dual degree (B.Tech+M.Tech, 5 years)
If you opt out to pursue only B.Tech then you can also do that and get your B.Tech degree after 4th year.

Hi,
All the three of them is good, but you have to choose one of them. IIEST Shibpur Mechanical is ranked at 7th above IIT Kanpur, IIT BHU and BITS Pilani by Edu-Rand a Highly Reputed Indo - American Ranking organization. MHRD / NIRF Ranked IIEST at 7th by Research Parameter At Par with IIT Roorkee - just after six old IITs, but above all other IITs and above all the NITs in the Country. Overall, IIEST Ranked at 20 by MHRD / NIRF above many IITs and Above All NITs except three. Mechanical Engineering in IIEST Shibpur is surely one of the Best Departments in India and definitely better than NIT Allahabad or NIT Culicut by any measure. IIEST has Glorious Record of Producing Brilliant Engineers serving across the Globe and many of them are World Leaders in Engineering in USA / UK / Canada as well as in India. The placement of the mechanical branch is quite good at NIT Rourkela. Core companies like Tata steel, Vedanta, Tata motors, Maruti - Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra and many more visit our campus every year and recruit meritorious students as Graduate engineer Trainees. Sometimes PSUs also come NIT Rourkela because it is one of the top NITs. Fortunately last year Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) also come for recruitments. Average package of Core Company is more than 8 LPA. Any of the two institute you choose you will be befitted for sure. I would suggest you for NIT Rourkela or IIEST shibpur where ever you are comfortable as it holds good placement record and better future. All the best for your future. Thank you.

It is not an NIT and IIIT, though. It can be said a GFTI as it was opened prior to Independence by government funds and a few organizations of Bengal.
Moreover, this institute is considered as an institute of national importance and it is mentor institute of IIIT-Kolkata.
