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

The answer could have been specific if the question would have been more specific about the branch or state concerned. As of now, a general idea of opening and closing category ranks of IIESTS is as follows following discussion is based entirely on the basis of the institute's record in 2017 which also happens to be the latest till date:
For other state students:
The opening category rank was 3147 for Computer Science and Engineering.
The closing category rank for Metallurgy and Materials Engineering was 11691.
The opening and closing ranks for all other departments lie in between these two extremes.
For home state students:
The opening category rank was 3801 for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.
The closing category rank for Mining Engineering was 28098.
The opening and closing ranks for all other departments lie in between these two extremes.
For architecture, town and regional planning department:
The opening and closing category ranks for other state students were 837 and 1145, respectively.
The opening and closing category ranks for home state students were 896 and 3207, respectively.
I've just tried to avoid details to keep the answer short and simple. Also, the urge to know the cut-off marks so as to get admission in this college is vague and of no sense as the admission is purely on the basis of rank and not that of marks. In case, you want any specific details (of the same form as the one gave above), please let me know, I heard this fuss a few months back that further admissions in IIESTS will be done on the basis of JEE Advanced ranks, unlike what has been happening till date, but there has been no further clarification about it since then and so it cannot be said for sure.

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology is one of the most prestigious and best government colleges in India which ranks first in India and comes in top 200 colleges of the world.
There is no such course (computer science) offered in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology but there is a course named computer science automation.

Hello Abhishek,
Since IIEST-Shibpur comes under JEE counselling, you need to have at least 75% in board exams or 65% (if you belong to SC, ST or PWD). There is another condition also that is, you need to be in the top 20 percentile (you need to be in the top 20% of students from your board) if you are not having 75% or 65%.
Unless you satisfy these conditions, you are not eligible.

There are two approaches you may follow. Firstly if you are considering a very highly paid job at initial and considering your interest go for IIEST. Second, if you concerned about the tags and connectivity and secure job offers go for electrical at MANIT.
