My friend studied at IIEST Shibpur but it was a long time ago. The quality of pedagogy back then was good, however now one can't say much of it. Also personally, CS does not have the best faculty in AMU.
If you wish to compare the state of teaching in the institutions, just log in to the official website and go through the qualifications of the faculty members. Check both the academic achievements of the faculty in general, as well as that of the departments.
If you live near Shibpur then it'll be easier to commute, however, if you live far away then you can choose AMU. You must note that IIEST Shibpur's IT department might have to shut down and you may regret your decision during placements.
Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering are two entirely different streams. You should go through a lot of thought and analyzes facts before choosing among streams of engineering. Considering CSE at NIT Durgapur and EE at IIEST Shibpur, the points below state the major areas of importance that students should look into before selecting one among the others.
Therefore, it is clear that choosing among the two available options is entirely dependent on your field of interest and passion. But, in general, CSE at NIT Durgapur should have a better placement and so, is preferred over the other to some extent.
Without a doubt, IIEST Shibpur is the definite better choice among the two institutes for Civil Engineering and is indeed one of the best Civil Engineering departments in the country. My friends who study at IIEST Shibpur boast about their college, that it is great in so many ways.
The points below state some reasons as to why -

Therefore, Civil Engineering in IIEST Shibpur is at its best among almost all the Civil Engineering departments in India and so is definitely a great choice.
It is critical to understand the market's demands, you have to examine every aspect properly.
Some of the measures are as follows:
To implement the same, it is important for every department to raise their voices together and improve the quality of the placements.
Yes, you can change your branch from metallurgy to ECE after the 1st year. At IIEST Shibpur only 20% of students in each branch are given that choice except the architecture branch. There are the following conditions for changing branches:
Allocations are given on the basis of the above conditions and if there is a tie between two students then the tie is broken through the CGPA marks in physics, chemistry, and math. One who has the highest marks gets the seat.
The B.Tech course offered by IIIT Jabalpur in Computer Science and Engineering is not good. The placement report is not that impressive. There are very few faculty members available for CSE at present in that institute according to one of my friends who recently graduated from this college.
On the other hand, IT in IIEST can be a pretty good option if you want to make it big. The infrastructure of the college is quite good. Students get the option to grab good internships. Microsoft hires from the campus. The diversity of students and faculty members present at the College is also good.
Here is a brief placement highlight for both institutes.

You can visit the official website of both these colleges to get further details and updates regarding the Placement and other aspects of the colleges.
Earlier IIEST Shibpur used to be the best Civil and Structural Engineering Institute in Asia including the IITs. Here are some of the things that you should know about the institute.
IIEST Shibpur is definitely a good choice for M.Tech in Civil.
I have some friends at IIEST Shibpur and NIT Rourkela and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest that you choose the former. Here is why.
Here are the recent placement statistics at the institutes.

Go for IIEST, only if you are interested in doing research further, you can make some good contact there which will be helpful. But from a placement point of view, NIT R will be better for a CSE course.
One of my friends attends IIEST and here is his insight regarding cutoffs.
Your rank in JEE mains seems to be 5-6k more than the cutoff borderline for receiving admission into Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. According to the recent cutoff trends, the required cutoff for Metallurgy and Material Engineering are as follows.
It would be difficult to get in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering with your rank. Your admissions in any branch are never guaranteed solely on the basis of cutoffs as the cutoffs drastically change in the case of JEE. The cutoffs provided are an approximation of your field of choice.
There are various events and activities occasionally held right from the time you join IIEST Shibpur. I have some idea about the events since I have a few friends studying there. Here are some of the events of IIEST.
These are to name a few of them. There are several more, like Gyandhara which is a quiz festival hosted by Quizmania Beings, where you do not necessarily have to be part of the institute to participate. Udbhabani (Civil), Metallum (Metallurgy), Initium (Mining) are various of the departmental fests of IIEST, Shibpur.
