The Review

The positive things about the college is that even if the college is so old the employees here are pretty open minded and don't mind seeing couples. The negatives are that the infrastructure and hostels are too old and everything is cramped up. We don't even have a proper auditorium. All the departments are cramped up in 2 four-storey buildings.

The course is relatively new in this college which, by the way, is one of the oldest colleges in India. The course started here in early 2010s and still doesn't have much support from the college itself. There are very less labs for Aerospace Engineering here, we don't even have an airstrip here. The teachers aren't much enthusiastic in their teaching. But as Aerospace Engineering in India has a long way to go so I won't complain much.

The campus placements are mediocre at best but we do get good placements outside campus. IIEST, or BESU as it was previously called, is a big name in Eastern India. Yes we get internships in the 3rd and 4th years.

Apart from all the sports tournaments there are two major events in the college. One of them is the upcoming cultural festival of our college called REBECA. The other is the biggest technical festival of Kolkata called Instruo. Colleges from all over India participate in the events in Instruo and cash prizes worth 7.5Lakh rupees are given.

It is quite feasible. We have to pay around 1 lakh for a semester. There are 8 semester for B.tech. 2 each year. If a student's family earns less than 5 lakhs rupees per annum then they get a remission of 66%. And if their income is less than 1 lakh rupees then they only have to pay for hostel and their tuition fee is returned to them.

Loan is offered by pretty much every bank because our college is pretty famous. Some students are awarded scholarships based upon their family's income or personal merit. Some are awarded scholarship by government after clearing exams like NTSE, etc.

We don't have much sports here and the grounds are pretty small. We only have 2 proper grounds here and a basketball court. There is plenty of space here but it is unused and the grass around there is uncut so it is useless. If the areas in college are utilized properly then it will be wonderful.

Mediocre. The hostels are not maintained and haven't been renovated from decades. The toilets are very dirty and we aren't provided with proper tables and beds. The food totally sucks in the mess. We get potatoes everyday and they taste yucky.

The alumni is pretty good. They are always providing funds to our college whenecer required. The seniors are pretty helpful and skillful. The clubs are pretty much carried by seniors and they do it quite wonderfully.

I took an Engineering Entrance Exam called JEE Main. I got an All India Rank of 23150 and I applied for JOSAA couseling 2019. Through JOSAA counseling I was alotted VNIT, Nagpur. But being an Aerospace enthusiast I applied for CSAB 2019 and got this college in the 2nd round of CSAB.

The faculty is pretty average at best. We have a very qualified staff for Aerospace Engineering but in terms of labs we are lagging behind other branches being the newest department in IIEST, Shibpur. The lab faculty is mediocre at best and the HOD is a pretty teacher.
