B.Tech admission questions
Ques. Could later counselling rounds help me get a seat if I narrowly miss the B.Tech cutoff?

Ques. How are reserved-category seats handled for B.Tech applicants?
Ans. Government of India reservation rules apply to B.Tech admission, including SC, ST, OBC and EWS categories. Each branch reserves a share of its seats under these rules. The remaining seats are filled through general merit using JEE Main scores.
Ques. What determines whether a B.Tech student can move to a different branch?
Ans. A branch change may be requested after the first year. Decisions depend on merit, the first-year CGPA, which is the cumulative grade point average, and vacancies in the chosen branch. Computer Science and Electronics & Communication are especially competitive choices.

Read Full ReviewThe main Reason to Choose this college is, it is an NIT college with very old history, It is Also near to Kolkata, which is easy to travel to my home town through flight and nearest railway station is Shalimar about 1 km from my college
Read Full ReviewThis is one of the most prestigious college in Indian and also the second oldest college in India and here the placement are good along with core branches and they will provide more internship opportunities.
Read Full ReviewYes, I have given Jee mains examination which is the entrance test for the NITs, IIEST,IIITs and GFITs. By the merit from that exam I have been allotted through councelling. But no interview or discussions.
Read Full ReviewThe admission process was simple; you get your seat alloted by JoSAA or CSAB counselling according to the choice filled, then you come for physical verification which is itself conducted in the institute itself. That's all, no GD/PI. Since I am born and brought up in West Bengal, IIEST, Shibpur was always in one of my choices for admission. IIEST, Shibpur is a well reputed engineering college which has been crafting great engineers since 1856, everyone in Bengal knows about this college.
Read Full ReviewThe admission is through JEE mains. Generally cutoff life between 96 to 97% ile. You need to control for Jossa counselling and further CSAB counselling if you don't get any branch. For me choosing this college was because of the factors as - affordability, closeness to my hometown and and my personal preference of choosing electrical engineering.
Read Full ReviewAt the time of my joining which was the year 2020 the college was one of the top 25 engineering colleges in India (according to NIRF). But the dean was a money grubber. We've got a new dean in 2024. I hope things will get better It was during the COVID lockdown period. The entirety of the admission process was done online. There was no GD/PI. Candidates were allotted through JOSAA counseling and accepted solely based on the JEE MAIN cutoff.
