Thus, it all depends on the student and their JEE ranking if they want to take admission in IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University. Again, it also depends on the interest whether they want to pursue Civil Engineering or go towards the production engineering line.

Jadavpur University and IIT Bhubaneswar – both have their merits and demerit. The following factors may help you make a better decision. 

IIT Bhubaneswar, like other IITs, bears its brand image. Hence, it has the reliability of a well-connected social environment. The politics, suggested assumptions about substance abuse, etc have tarnished the reputation of JU a bit in recent times. 

IIT Bhubaneswar has the reputation of hiring and employing well-qualified professors. There are two professors, seven associate professors, and eighteen assistant professors in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Bhubaneswar. Jadavpur University carries a distinct reputation for Computer Science Engineering degree. The present intake capacity of JU is sixty-four for CSE. The faculty consists of eighteen professors, four associate professors, and five assistant professors.

For years IIT has attracted many major recruiters. Currently, IIT Bhubaneswar has a placement record of 100% for the CSE branch. The average salary package is around 11.44 lakhs per annum. But, Jadavpur University has an unbeatable placement record. According to last years placement highlight, all 60 students from CSE got placed. The average salary package offered was 19.96 lakhs per annum. 

IIT Bhubaneswar has an academic culture compiled of some of the top students of the country. These students come from a broad variety of background. Hence, you will have the opportunity to socialize with a colourful assemblage. JU is a state university, so it does not offer the same. Even so, Jadavpur University is in a metro-city and has better sex-ratio. This draws them distinct advantages. 

Jadavpur University offers hostels, guest house, library, daycare centre, health centre and JU employees’ coop credit society limited. There are ten laboratories and a library in the CSE department. Moreover, there are many recent infrastructural developments in JU. The infrastructure of IIT Bhubaneswar is slowly improving. The campus of IIT Bhubaneswar is spread across 936 acres of land. It has an academic area, residential area, training centres and Research Park. 

In conclusion, both colleges and their corresponding environment have benefits and limitations. So, make your choice as per your interests and preferences and the factors discussed above.
