Remarks

Placements here are abysmal if you consider the quality of students here. People talk about its alumni base and let me clear your mind. I think this place has one of the least bothered Alumni. They talk about there 150 years glory but cannot even help the current students to get placed at a good company where they work. Mass Recruiters come in abundance though. I think this is where most alumni are working.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The educational environment here is the best for students who want to work hard and study. The facaulty is good but people from other states might face a prolem initially because of the accent of teachers but will cope up soon with it.Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Placement Experience

3.5

Current placement stats might not be attractive but since 2014 its getting better and better so just dont worry about it because the college has already came a long way and is in the list of top engineering institues of India. It has signed a lot of contracts with different organisations and companies and the campusing is great!

College Events

Open to all - nationwide and also people with 9 to 5 jobs OIKOTAAN, The musical extravaganza These are events of IIEST, as a whole There also departmental events METALLUM of Metallurgy and Materials Engg UDBHAVANI of civil Engineering INITIUM of Mining Engineering

Fee Structure And Facilities

The tuition fees is Rs 62500 per semester for a student. However, it is waived for students belonging to SC and ST categories. It is also waived for students with family income less than 1 lpa. it is quite expensive than state govt colleges

Fees and Financial Aid

The college offered scholarships facilities for the students who were unable to bear the fees. The scholarship were also given by state government to the students based on their financial status, then to those belonging to the reservation caste based students. The student need to fill the form and get it approved by the HOD of their respective departments and then forward it to the finance department of the college where further steps were taken to the scholarship for the students.

Campus Life

3

Oval Ground. Oval is unboutedly most neat and well-maintaned ground of IIEST, Shibpur. Swimming Pool. The Alumni Swimming Pool is a wonderful gift from our alumni assocation, GAABESU, to the residents of the institute. Table Tennis. Cricket and Cricket Tournaments. Gymnasium.

Hostel Facilities

4

I had opted for hostel Hostels 8, 9 and 10 are allotted to first years. There are 4 levels (including the ground level) and the terrace. There are two kinds of rooms, 4-occupancy room and 5-occupancy rooms. Every student is provided with a bed (without bedding), a cupboard, a table and a power socket. While the 5-occupancy rooms each also have a private balcony. The overall quality is decent.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs
