IIEST Shibpur Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Here are some details on the ETC department’s placement statistics-

Companies like Texas Instruments recruit ETC students from IIEST at around 15 LPA. But such offers are very rare. They form the highest packages of that placement season. The average package for ETC students is between 5-6 LPA. 

Core companies visit the IIEST campus in small numbers. So students look to PWC, Deloitte, and Data Analytics firms like HSBC for placements. Majority of companies are open to ETC students. Software and Analytics companies are always open for ETC.

The ETC batches are small in number, so students get placed very quickly. The placement rate of ETC is nearly equal to that of CS. The ratio between the number of offers and total batch students is very good for ETC at IIEST.

Thus, placements are decent for the ETC branch at IIEST Shibpur. The average package offered is around 5-6 LPA for ETC students. 

Mechanical is one of the oldest departments of IIEST Shibpur.It is well known for its internship and placement records.

A good number of mechanical students grab core jobs during the placement season. Last year, 61 out of 75 eligible students were successfully placed from B.Tech mechanical. 

Some of the core companies that offer placements to mechanical students from this college are- Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Steel, Tata Bluescope Steel, Tata Metaliks, Coal India Ltd, Reliance Defence, Otis Elevator Company, Vedanta, Voltas, CESC, India Power and IFB.

Apart from this, those who opt for higher studies perform really well in their GATE exams. Some students from the mechanical department are pursuing their MS in foreign universities. 

Thus, the department is performing decently well in terms of placements.

As a B.Tech Mechanical student at IIEST Shibpur, I can tell you about the placements in my branch.

Several companies recruit mechanical students from IIEST. Here is a list of them-

• Core Companies- CESC, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Auto, Tata power, Saint Gobain, MN Dastur, Hindustan Unilever, Vedanta Limited, Hyundai, DCPL, WSP, VikramSolar, TEGA Industries, Tata projects, Elegant Marine, Denso Haryana, Haldia Petrochemicals, Aditya Birla, Eleation, Tata bluScope, JSL, JSW, Britannia, Wood group, Daimler, Tata Steel, etc.
• Consultancy firms- PwC, ZS, Capgemini, Zycus, etc.
• Mass Recruiters- TCS, CGI, Nissan Digital, Infosys, Cognizant, Compro tech, Silfra tech, HCL, Aakash Institute, etc. 

61 out of 75 eligible students from B.Tech ME were placed last year. As an ME student, you can’t expect a 7 figure salary through campus placements. Only a handful of companies offer 8 LPA or above. Mass recruiters offer less than 4 LPA. 

The placements are decent for my branch at IIEST Shibpur. You can consult some seniors to know about the placements in other branches. 

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. 

As a former Civil student at IIEST, my answer especially concerns my branch.

Before pursuing an M.Tech, you must keep your aim straight. It should either be to work in a design company, or opt for a Phd. This is because B.Tech is a much better degree if your aim is to get placed with a good package.

The placements for B.Tech are much better than M.Tech, at IIEST Shibpur. Some M.Tech departments offer decent placements, while others aren’t even average in this respect. But the teaching is really good for all departments. 

My answer isn’t very particular, but I tried to give you a general idea of the placement scenario for M.Tech at IIEST.

Here are the 2022 placement details for CST at IIEST Shibpur-

During the 2022 placement season, 68 out of 73 eligible students were placed from B.Tech CST (Computer Science and Technology). 104 offers were made, and 94 selection processes were held in total. In M.Tech CST, 10 out of 12 eligible students were placed. 15 offers were made, and 45 selection processes were held in total.

No data is available for the packages offered branch-wise. However, standard packages were offered to the selected candidates. The list of top recruiters who visited the campus includes- Microsoft IT India, Adobe, Microsoft IDC, Amazon India, Infosys Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services (Digital), and Tata Consultancy Services (Ninja) among others. 

Microsoft and Google usually offer profiles like Associate Analyst and Data Analyst, instead of SDE. Many times, Directi and Amazon shortlist students but do not proceed further with the placements. Many times, Adobe is open only to female candidates. 

The CST placements are decent, and the best among all departments. If you work hard enough and improve your coding skills, you’ll surely get placed at a decent package in some good brand.
