Is IIEST Shibpur better than NITs like Jaipur, Allahabad, Delhi, etc.? Does this institute come in par with NITs?

To answer this question, let’s consider the latest MHRD Ranking (2020) of all the engineering institutes. These scores/ranks are calculated based on various parameters which are as follows.

• Faculty
• Research Support
• Graduation outcomes
• Student demography
• Perception in various circles

MHRD Ranks and Scores 2020:

From the data table given above, one thing is quite clear that though old IITs rank above IIEST Shibpur ( that is quite evident), the new IITs are still struggling to rank higher. And there are 31 NITs in India, out of which only 3 ranked above IIEST, Shibpur. 

This is actually a very small margin. IIEST Shibpur stands equal to almost all the NITs. In the race to become the best, it requires a lot of effort and dedication. It is not an overnight jump, the institute must work upon it.
