Why is everyone saying that IIEST Shibpur doesn't have good placement records, even though placements at IIEST are quite good?

Good college placements must meet the following requirements-

• The placement percentage should be between 60-70%.
• The average salary should be 6-8 LPA.
• The highest package should be 40-50 LPA.
• A good number of core companies and consultancy firms should visit the campus.

IIEST Shibpur performs well in all these parameters. It has a placement percentage between 55-60%. It delivers an average package of around 6 LPA, and the highest package close to 45 LPA. 

A long list of companies visit the campus for recruitments. These include- Amazon, BHEL, Britannia, Bridge & Roof co., Blue Star, CCD, Coal India, Capgemini, CESC, DXCorr, DVC, Essar, Essar mining, Ericsson, Vedanta, TATA Steel, TATA Metaliks , Microsoft, Hindustan Motors, Unilever, Shapoorji Pallonji, LnT, HSBC, Hyundai, IOCL, ITC, Mahindra, Maruti, Mu sigma, PWC, Samsung , Siemens, TATA power, Hitachi, ZS Associates etc. All these are either core companies or top consultancy giants. 

Across all colleges, placements and average packages are shrinking. Even the top colleges witness an average package between 8-11 LPA. 

IIEST Shibpur isn’t a top engineering college, it does not receive immense funding, and the student crowd isn’t the best. Keeping all this in mind, its placements are quite good. In fact its placements are growing at a consistent rate.
