Honest College Review of Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur.

I have taken Mechanical Engineering course here which is one of the best branch to study here with all the equipment and labs and decent placemens, Course curriculum is quite strict here academics are followed strictly research is heavily focused and all the faculty members are highly qualified and have done some commendable research in their fields, There is a healthy ratio of students to teacher and all of them are highly supportive. Terms exam is of moderate level and are taken timely, Each semester has two term exams one mid term and one end term exam.

Internship opportunities are offered to each branch, the stipend and overall internship opportunities are very high in circuital branches and decent in core branches, Companies like Microsoft, Amazon offer very good internship opportunities some analytics companies such as PWC also offer internship.

Generally after 6th semester students become eligible for placement however there are various internship thata re offered to other students too at sooner levels. Companies such as Microsoft and Amazon visits regularly and hires students from Circuital branches, lot of core companies also visit such as Tata Steel, JSW, Vedanda and also lot of analytics compaovisit such as PWC who recruit in masses. From the department of Mechanical engineering 85.88% students were placed in 2023, with median CTC being 8.9 LPA and highest CTC of 15LPA. I personally plan on doing Higher studies after I get the degree.
