What Students Say

Likes

The campus is solely an example of natural beauty.
The annual fest , REBECA ofcourse ! No way to forget it.

Course Curriculum Overview

As I said , I was from pure maths background so I didn't like the curriculum and syllabus at all. I am no one to suggest the professors how to teach , but I think the teaching style of every one of them could be more thought provoking, should have been taught the courses on more intuitionistic way rather than just spitting the same notes every semester.

Class Size: 34Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Engineering students get most of the internship opportunities in the companies, but not in these science departments. But if you are interested in jobs , you also can try for the internships. Engineering students are very helpful, they will sit beside you , offer you weed , and will help you to get a job (yes , this college is different bruh).

Placement Experience

90% students from M.Sc in Mathematics don't go for placements. In our batch only 3 people ( I might be wrong) got placed , 2 in ZIFO R&D with roughly about 4.5 LPA in Bangalore, 1 in BYJU'S (I don't know the CTC). My plans were getting into Ph.D. in Mathematics. I am still working on that.

Fees and Financial Aid

I don't know about TFW category ( Tuition fee waiver), but if you are a west bengal born and brought up guy/girl , then you can get SVMCM scholarship (everyone gets this) on completion of the criteria, and roughly the course fees except hostel and mess fees (I was not in hostel) was around 1 lakh (in 2 years). There was obviously some relaxation for the SC, ST, OBC people as per the govt. of India norms.

Campus Life

The campus life is very much good in IIEST. The campus is beautiful. Take one cup of Ranjit da's chai, drink it , go inside the campus through the 'First gate' , and you are in a peaceful world. The campus has so much things to do. Music club (Euphony), Dance club (I forgot the name sorry), Drama club (Les Thespians), and there are so many... These are very active clubs...You can play Cricket, Football, Badminton, Volleyball, Basketball etc. inside the campus.

Admission

I had to qualify IIT JAM (Mathematics) to get admission in IIEST. When you will see that with the JAM rank you can't get into an IIT for your Masters , then automatically you will come to know about CCMN website , where the counselling process of the NITs and IIEST takes place. Nobody dreams of doing a masters from IIEST.

Faculty

Students to professor ratio is about 3:1, professors are helpful , but as I was from pure mathematics background , I didn't like the curriculum and the syllabus of the department at all. I just kept continuing my studies just to get the M.Sc degree. But if someone is interested in applied mathematics, then the department is good, if not the best.

Faculties are amazingly qualified as well as friendly for solving your doubts
You get multiple opportunities for the industrial experience as internship. This institute provide amazing placement opportunities with high salaries.

Dislikes

The area of the campus is small leads to chaos. Which will be averted after shifting to new campus
Due to the small campus sitting places are very small
Hostel facilities and rooms are very poor.

Placement Experience:

2nd year students are eligible for the campus placement. Sai, Hetero, mendine, dr. Reddys etc companies visities for the campus placement. Offers ranges from 5-12 lpa. 60% students gets placed, 10% goes for higher studies and others get job off campus in my department. Other departments has 100% placement. My plans are pHd from Niper as it provides vast knowledge and instrumental exposure.

The Techno Experience

Likes

Practical Exposure with hands on training is always good for personal growth
The laboratories were well equipped with state of the art instruments
Entrepreneurship was encouraged and it really helped us with designing future start ups.

Dislikes

Lack of scholarships for the needy is one thing that needed to be worked on.
There was a distinct lack of encouragement to pursue extracurricular activity.
Sometimes it felt like it would have helped if we had a mental health counsellor onboard with the department.

Placement Experience:

Techno India University has a strong campus placement. Several students got jobs during the last semester, and I am one of them. Some others choose to wait for better opportunities. Some joined good startups. The package was nominal as we were all freshers. After getting my degree, I planned to pursue corporate experience and then join a lab for my PhD.

Well equipped laboratories with all necessary instruments and chemicals and whatever that is required. Even Electron microscope are available
Senior and Junior relationship is great, and PhD scholars often guide you in studies and in Life
Canteens, Playground, Books shops are near or inside the Campus with Department and Central Library with access to many books and online resources and WiFi

Dislikes

Politics is on peak since great colleges in india such as JNU are engaged in political activities
Attendance above 75 percent is mandatory to appear for exams
The duration of practical can be of 4-5 hours at a strech sometimes apart from Theory classes

Placement Experience:

Not all courses provides placements. But Placements are often common in departments such as Geology, for other departments, faculties can provide letters of recommendations and absorb as PhD scolars after PG completion and satisfactory performance

My thoughts on our beloved Sidho Kanho Birsha University.

Likes

The most I liked about my university is the infrastructure and availability of facilities for our studies.
Second thing I like are our professors . They help us in every aspect of our educational or personal life .
Third thing I like the most is my batchmates who gives me encouragement for pursuing my studies.

Dislikes

The university is a bit far from the Purulia city . So the connectivity is a problem.
I think if we get some extra hours of the lab facilities, that will be great.
Water purifier are available in some of the floors I think the number should be increased.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement of our university is quite good and it is getting better day by day. Especially our chemistry department is doing great in this field. Last year our dept almost hit 100% placements and the highest package was of 5 lpa. I am planning to peruse my PhD after MSc.

IIEST ROCKS

I did not apply for any other college. I applied for colleges in josaa and the ones which were above IIEST, I considered few of them better and few due to NIRF ranking. The admission process if very simple. One will have to give jee after that they will have to apply for josaa counselling. If they have good enough rank, and they get any branch then they will be have to come to the college on the date specified by the college on their website. The cutoff for general category is usually high. All branches close at around 70k rank(in josaa counselling). In CSAB, they might extend to 1 lakh....Read More
