My sister was in the batch of (2014-18) at IIEST Shibpur. There were 84 students in her batch, 19 chose a dual degree, and about 60 students were eligible for placements. The major recruiters were M.N Dastur, ZS Associates, HSBC, CGI information systems and management consultants, etc. 

The recent placement highlights for Civil Engineering at the institute are as follows.

This is the placement scenario of the Civil branch at IIEST Shibpur. The number of students applied for placements also matters. Due to their training for GATE, ESE or CAT, etc, or simply the lack of interest in private work, there are a number of students who don’t appear willingly on-campus placement. 

It all depends on the candidate’s decision. What may seem productive for him might fall flat for others.

Here pointing few specifications which might help you choose:

• IEM is a Private engineering College whereas; KGEC and JGEC are government owned colleges.
• Annual Tuition fees are far less for both the government colleges and IEM being a private institute holds higher fees and increases cost of living.
• Being government owned colleges (KGEC, JGEC), the student from financially weaker section is subjected to stipend, half-fees and full fees consideration.
• If we take a look at the campus location, IEM is situated in sector-V, in the crux of the IT revolution which began at Kolkata. Whereas, KGEC, JGEC have their own campus located outside of the main city.

IEM being a private institution is strict with its studies. But, being government colleges students can see little slack on education in KGEC and JGEC.

If campus recruitment is the sole criterion, then IEM stands out with a virtuous record. Whereas KGEC and JGEC in can see slack in core branches recruitment.

IEM being situated in the heart of the city’s IT sector, all the companies take interest to see the students from IEM. KGEC and JGEC located outside the main city.

If you compare KGEC with JGEC, KGEC is the way to go. KGEC has a better ratio of placements, infrastructure, facilities, and faculty than JGEC.

Choose KGEC if you want to study in any core department. Otherwise you can choose between JGEC and IEM for other departments. If you are looking for government jobs, KGEC is the one. Choose KGEC without hesitation. If you don’t get a chance to get into KGEC go for JGEC as both being government colleges gives less burden of fees and expenses.

Finally, it’s up to you to choose any one among the three engineering colleges. Based on the parameter, it drives your decision. My suggestion would be go for KGEC and if not then, JGEC over IEM.

I have a few friends from Karunya University. According to them, the hostel facilities are quite good. 

• In the first and second year, you will have to stay in 4-seater rooms with four random people. In the third or fourth year, you can change to single seater/4-seater/6-seater rooms. For single-seater rooms, you will have to pay an extra 5,000 each semester.
• Every room in the hostel is facilitated with a proper cot, tube lights, study table, clean bathrooms, housekeeping, and proper ventilation. You can also use a wall shelf for keeping your belongings. The rooms are spacious. However, the rooms are non-ac. 
• The hostels are safe. There is 24/7 security.
• The food and accommodation facilities are worth the money. The curfew time for students to enter the hostel is around 7 in the evening. 

Very few colleges in Tamil Nadu can match up to the standard of Karunya when it comes to hostel and accommodation. The hostel is very strict when it comes to discipline.

As of now, it is uncertain, when IIIT Ranchi will get its new campus. As per the local reports, the land on which the new campus was supposed to be constructed is under dispute due to which, the new campus of IIIT Ranchi is not going to be set up in the upcoming 5 years. All this work of sorting the dispute is under the government and all might take some time. 

If you’ll look into the scenario, you’ll get to know that the IIIT Kota has still not got its campus. Therefore, chances are quite low that IIIT Ranchi is getting its new campus soon in the near future. In fact, if the disputes get cleared, then also there are certain permissions, and tenders need to process for equipment and mess and all which is another time taking procedure that may take 1-2 years more. 

If you are looking forward to taking admission to IIIT Ranchi, you do not need to worry because you will complete your graduation under the mentor institute of IIIT Ranchi i.e. NIT Jamshedpur. You will be able to enjoy all the facilities offered by NIT Jamshedpur. Including its placements and degree.
