Admission: Passing exams is pretty doable here, whether you study the night before or keep up all semester. Teachers are cool and really want us to succeed in whatever we do. The course material is kinda old, but they start teaching newer stuff in the later semesters.

Placement: Around 90-95 students are in my batch. More than 90% of students get placed. Texas Instruments offers the highest salary package of 32 LPA. TCS offers the lowest package of about 4-5 LPA. Companies like CESC, Tata Steel, and Texas Instruments come for electrical placements. For core placements, we have Google, Microsoft, TCS, and other big names visiting our college.

Campus: The college buildings are old but they're fixing them up. There's like 20 hostels with a big one that fits 1,000 students and a 10-story one. They finished building them already. The girls' hostels are huge and have great food. The boys' hostels are okay and the food is just okay too. But sometimes they surprise us with something good.

The hospital is open 24/7.

Admission: The teachers here are pretty smart, but not all of them are great at teaching. Each professor has their own cool way of teaching that goes beyond just lessons. Some make learning fun, while others help you see how important it is to be serious. The faculty is cool overall, but don't expect their classes to be like YouTube videos. This course won't automatically make you ready for the industry, but you'll learn enough to get ready during the 6-month training on the job they give you. Exams are challenging, though.

The food in the cafeteria is pretty awful, but at least they have separate sections for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Each hostel has its own gym and badminton court, which is cool.

Admission: The professors here are really helpful and know their stuff. They've got a lot of experience and they teach well. The teaching is better than most colleges in West Bengal, except for IIT Kharagpur. The course material for first-years isn't super relevant, though. The exams aren't too tough, and most people pass with a 99 percent rate.

I'm just starting out in my first year, so we're mostly covering basic stuff from different areas. I've heard the program is well-planned. The exams can be kinda tough, ranging from medium to really hard, but most people pass with around 80-85%.

Placement: The placement stats for our 2025 electronics and telecommunication engineering batch look promising. About 59% of us landed jobs. The top package hit 36 LPA, while the lowest was 3.3 LPA. On average, we're looking at 8.75 LPA. Big names like Google, Microsoft, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Tata Steel came for recruitment.

Campus: The classrooms in the first year don't have Wi-Fi. They keep everything clean and have enough fans and lights. The computers in the lab are a bit slow, though. The hostel has good Wi-Fi, but the food is just okay. There are three canteens not too far from the hostel. The medical help on campus is limited, so having a hospital nearby would be better. But hey, all the sports and games facilities are there for us to enjoy!

Campus: I stayed in one of the three hostels for first-year students at IIEST Shibpur. Hostel 8 was the oldest one, but the mess food and sports facilities were top-notch. Hostel 9 was pretty much like Hostel 8. Hostel 10, on the other hand, was brand new and had way better infrastructure than the other two.

Admission: The teachers here are super smart and know a ton of stuff. They really break down everything for us, which I appreciate a lot. The course material is kinda old and not super useful, so we gotta learn other stuff on our own. The exams are pretty tough, I'd say like a 6 out of 10.

Placement: Around 60% of us college students end up with jobs no matter what. Companies like Markit Up and Blinkit often hire students from our college. The highest salary offered is 55 LPA, while the lowest is 5 LPA. Sadly, less than 20% of students get internships here, which isn't great. Most high-paying jobs on our campus are for software developers, data analysts, and machine learning engineers.

Campus: The Wi-Fi here is just okay, like 2.5 stars out of 5. The buildings are nice, with cool air conditioning in classrooms and lots of windows. Learning in class is easy peasy. But the hostel is a letdown for newbies like me - no hot water and the food is bleh. Not a great pick for South Indian peeps who can't handle it. The medical care is top-notch though, and there are lots of sports events to join in.
