Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] + M.Tech (Information Technology) From IIEST Shibpur, Howrah

One of my friends was a student of this institute, but he did not know about the 5 years dual degree program in IIEST Shibpur. He told me that no one even knows about this new university's dual degree course; thereby, if you love to get risks, then take admission to enter here.

Besides, he told me that he was also unaware of the reputation along with the education quality of the other two institutes. However, in IIEST Shibpur, you will get immense learning opportunities; additionally, education quality is also not bad as it is an ancient institute. Rather it improves a lot after becoming INI.

It is challenging to state which institute is better if the student doesn’t know the institute properly. Besides, it is also important to understand what is actually better as the thinking of a student.

However, you are from outside of West Bengal, then IIIT Gwalior must be the first priority, although IIEST Shibpur is a reputed institute. The faculties of IIEST Shibpur are experienced enough, but most of them are Bengali. So, preference will be given to students from West Bengal, as the home state would be a great advantage. They will be able to gain all the opportunities like communication. It is because the students from West Bengal can speak in Bengali far better way than the others.

If there is a comparison between IIIT Gwalior and Jabalpur, then the suggestion will be for IIIT Gwalior, as it offers better placement than the other. Besides, it also has vastly alleged alumni and knowledgeable faculties.

IIEST is accepting admissions only for BTech degree from 2017, and you will get an option to prolong with Dual Degree course or study only BTech.

IT is one of the finest Dual Degree Courses in this institute, considering both the placement statistics and academics.

Additionally, the IT department of IIEST has the best researchers. This department publishes approximately 3000+ research papers, as per NIRF 2016 counting. However, the research is conducted mainly from the areas of Signal Processing, ML, and core computing areas.

If you are considering placement, you must look at the following table, although there are many IITs and NITs who claim that they give better placement.

However, the IT students here get several esteemed internship opportunities in IIT KGP, GSoC, IIT M, IIT B, IIIT A, and Abroad. One of my friends told me that one of his batch mates (a 3rd-year student) got selected by Google to complete his internship in California (this type of opportunity is very hard to get, especially from a country like India).

Thus, it can be mentioned that IT is one of the promising streams to be studied from this institute that is IIEST.
