IIEST Shibpur - Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology

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.

See you are opting for quite an outdated course. The scope and opportunities are very less. Talking about placement, it more or less lacks everywhere in civil branch. After all, you will be hired by a mass recruiter only (most probably). If possible, select a better stream. And if you want civil only, I can say both the institutes are good. Yes, IIEST Shibpur has the oldest civil department, but I can't say about the labs and facilities whether they are latest or not. Having a legacy doesn't imply that it will be good. If possible, explore both. Talking about NIT Durgapur, I've heard many complaints regarding placement but can't tell about the academic part. Many don't prefer NIT DGP civil. But this year, my friend left IIEST Shibpur civil engineering and chose NIT DGP electrical, after studying for 1 year in IIEST Shibpur. The reason why he left IIEST Shibpur, he said, is that the branch wasn't good and civil placement was very bad. And NIT Durgapur's placement is better than IIEST Shibpur's. So I suggest you explore it by yourself don't believe if someone tells you IIEST Shibpur is better or NIT DGP is better. Look for what you want and settle in any of the institutes. If possible, check for Rourkela.
