Colleges in Howrah

Last date for applying to IIEST is fast approaching, try to apply asap.

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.

Yes, you can if you have secured a good rank in NATA.

However, IIEST Shibpur is way better.

Hello Ship,
No, you cannot take admission in any IIT's or IIEST via WBJEE, via WBJEE you can get state funded government colleges of West Bengal like Jadavpur university, Kalyani, etc.

From 2017, along with 2016 batch, have an option of changing 4-year B.Tech course to 5-year dual degree at the end of the 3rd-year which is called exit option.
So, it should be well cleared and boldly marked that IIEST doesn't offer 5-years as a compulsory course, it's an option at the end of 3rd- year.

IIESTs are a new breed of institutes created by upgrading existing engineering colleges or universities under the various state universities.
Altogether, 4 IIESTs were proposed, IIEST-Shibpur being the first of them.
Before the upgradation too, it is a good institute with healthy teaching and now with the tag of 'Insitute of National Importance' that all NITs enjoy, it's surely a good choice.
Do consider SPAs (School of Planning and Architecture) and also few top-ranked NITs like NIT-Trichy, NIT-Jaipur, etc.
