M.Sc. in Physics - Batch of 2027

4.0

2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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

Placements: 41 students are placed in my course. In M.Sc. Physics is not placement-based, as it is research-based, so most students give exams like NET, JEST, and GATE. A small number of students get jobs in data analysis and teaching roles through their own efforts. About 60% of students got internships at many institutes.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Physics department is very good. There are all labs with well-equipped instruments. Wi-Fi is also available. The library remains open for 24 hours. The hostel facility is good. The environment is perfect. The mess food is not bad and adjustable. Medical facilities are very good. There are playgrounds for sports and games. So overall it is perfect.

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.

Placements: About 65 percent placement in the year 2025. The highest package is 23 LPA and the average package offered is 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies like BPCL, ICICI, PWC, LNT, ITD Cementation, Mageba Bridge, Tata, etc. About 70 percent of enrolled placement students got placed. Top roles offered are associate, etc.

Infrastructure: The college has a pretty good hostel now which is also newly renovated. Wi-Fi is available 24/7 on campus as well as in the hostel. Library facilities are also very nice (fully AC) giving a 24/7 option for students to study. Right now the library is also expanding to 1 more floor making it a 3-floor library for more capacity.

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 Curriculum covers basics but is slightly outdated and not fully industry-oriented.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.

Other: I chose this course due to my interest in the core field and its career opportunities. The best part is strong fundamentals, supportive faculty, and a good alumni network that helps with guidance and opportunities. The curriculum needs more industry exposure and practical learning. Campus life is decent with good connectivity and average extracurricular activities.

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

Placements: The placement is around 55-60 percent, this branch is good. The highest package of this year, I think, is around 14 LPA something and the lowest is 3.60 LPA. Top recruiting companies for Civil Engineering at IIEST Shibpur include major core sector firms like Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), JSW Group, Vedanta, and Aditya Birla Group.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are also good. The library is good with free Wi-Fi but the classrooms are old. The college has too many trees which gives a good and pure air, and the campus looks nice but the hostels are old because it's an old college. There is a lack of canteens in college, and there are no night canteens on campus.

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.

Other: There is a cultural fest named Rebecca, which is good. A Bollywood singer came at that time.

Old college yet excels at modern engineering.

Placements: Around 80 percent of students got placed from our course. Among them, 15-20 students got more than 20 LPA, and around 50 students got 7 LPA-18 LPA, and the rest got less than 7 LPA. The highest package is 58 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. The recruiting companies are Microsoft, Google, Texas, Wells Fargo, Synopsis, etc. 40 percent of students got on-campus internships, and overall, 80 percent of students got an internship.

Infrastructure: Overall, the department is okay, but it needs more space. Labs and libraries are good. Wi-Fi is also available. Hostel infrastructure is bad, and the mess is also not good since this college is very old, the building and toilets have been used for many years without renovation, so it's a bit disappointing, but now they are constructing a new 10-storey 1000-seater boys hostel with a modern look. I hope they increase the quality of the food.

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.

Other: I am very interested in the hardware side, so I chose this course. I feel like I made a very good decision after coming to this campus, as our branch is comparatively better than all branches except CSE. There is a very good culture among students on our campus. There is no ragging, and seniors are very friendly. Since our campus is in the city, everything is very easily available to us, so it's very easy to go outside the campus. The fests are a big thing here and are conducted with great planning, and are enjoyable.
