Which is better for CSE, NIT Delhi, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Goa, IIIT Gwalior, IIEST Shibpur? Order pls
I have arranged all the above colleges in the order of their general ranks.
-
IIEST Shibpur: One of the oldest institutes in the country.
-
IIT Gwalior: CSE-oriented college and as prestigious as NITs.
-
NIT Durgapur: A prime REC-to-NIT
-
NIT Jamshedpur: An old RIT/REC-to-NIT with excellent facilities and infrastructures.
-
NIT Jalandhar: An old REC-to-NIT
-
NIT Delhi: It lies in the capital and enjoys better connectivity.
-
NIT Goa: It is a new college, but lies in the coastal zone and has better connectivity.
-
NIT Hamirpur: Included in the NIRF rank list, but communication/connectivity is poor as it is located in hilly terrain.
Remember that the order can always be changed based on your own convenience regarding location. The general order is:
IIEST Shibpur>IIT Gwalior>NIT Durgapur>NIT Jamshedpur>NIT Jalandhar>NIT Delhi>NIT Goa>NIT Hamirpur
Which is better NIT Jamsedhpur, NIT Raipur, NIT K,NIT Hamirpur, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, DTU, NSIT or IIEST Shibpur?
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
Is IIEST Shibpur a good institute? Is it better than NIT Jalandhar, NIT Durgapur/NIT and Silchar/IIITM Gwalior?
Without second thoughts, IIEST is better than all the colleges you mentioned. The institutes that are better than IIEST are the top 7 IITs, BITS Pilani, IISc.
The leading factor of IIEST that sets it apart from other colleges is its extensive research strategies. Some have been highlighted below:
-
Developed India's First Smart Grid
-
Developed Solar Rickshaw for Howrah Municipal Corporation
-
CEGESS centre at IIEST is among the Best in India in areas of clean energy and sensors systems.
-
IIEST has collaborations with University of Queensland, University of Hiroshima, University of South Wales, Hokkaido University, Zurich University among others
Other amazing facts include:
Research Projects: Rs. 47 Crores
Consultancy Projects: Rs. 13 Crore
Publications : 2000
Citations : 5000
All this has been achieved by only 220 faculties in less than 3 years.
If IIEST is worthy of comparison to any of the colleges you have mentioned then it is NIT Jalandhar. The academic excellence is very similar. But other colleges don’t even stand in the race to compare.
Which one is better, IIEST Shibpur for IT or NIT Rourkela for CSE?
I have some friends at IIEST Shibpur and NIT Rourkela and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest that you choose the former. Here is why.
- NIT Rourkela offers placement opportunities. Also, the companies that visit NIT R are more reputed.
- Very few companies offer pre-placement offers to IIEST as compared to NIT R.
- Many reputed companies have blacklisted IIEST Shibpur. Job opportunities available at the campus are quite low. Only a few mass recruiters like TCS, Accenture, Infosys visit the placement drive.
- Also, securing a placement through off-campus placement will be quite challenging. You will have to have impressive coding skills to get recruited through off-campus placements.
Here are the recent placement statistics at the institutes.
|
Institute |
NIT Rourkela |
IIEST Shibpur |
|
Highest CTC |
42 LPA |
39 LPA |
|
Lowest CTC |
3.5 LPA |
2.53 LPA |
|
Major recruiters |
IBM, Samsung, L&T |
Microsoft IDC, Aditya Birla Group |
Go for IIEST, only if you are interested in doing research further, you can make some good contact there which will be helpful. But from a placement point of view, NIT R will be better for a CSE course.
How is the infrastructure (hostel rooms and common rooms and mess facilities) at IIEST Shibpur?
IIEST Shibpur offers a good infrastructure to its students. Discussed below are various facilities available at the campus.
Air Conditioning: It is as per the departments to whom they supply air-conditioners. Some possess ACs in classrooms, some in labs while some in offices. This varies with the department. None of these is provided in the first year.
Sports:
- The sports department is pretty good with two good grounds and an athletics department, with people trained in sports science.
- Each hall as well as the hostel has its arrangements for Table Tennis and carrom. In many halls, arrangements exist for badminton and TT. No pool table is provided.
- There are tournaments for football and cricket. And there is the athletics day and various sporting tournaments organized by different halls of residence.
- There are two sports grounds named Lords and Oval which are of excellent quality. Even CAB ( Cricket Association of Bengal ) has expressed their interest in them.
Culture: The student culture is about to change as IIEST will take students from JEE Main or even Advance. Quite some time ago, the school always had a good share of other state students which was considered quite large for a government institute.
Campus: The campus is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in India and there are tons to explore. Seeing everything here needs at least a minimum of 2 years.
Flooding: The place gets regular rainfall due to The Botanical gardens. Yet, flooding is not a problem, usually.
These are the facilities that you can expect at IIEST Shibpur. Hope it was helpful.
