Can I change department in IIEST Shibpur?

Most of the institutes do not allow students to change the department. But, IIEST Shibpur allows the students to change at the end of the first year of graduation.

The process of change is mentioned below:

• The first step to change is to fill the application form for a change of department.
• Change is allowed in the department based on CGPA.
• For this, you need to work pretty hard in the freshman year. You must secure a minimum of 9 CGPA. The interested students must be in the top 10% of the batch to be eligible for any change.
• Each department states its vacancy limits. If you have applied for a popular branch, your application for change might be rejected as many students will be ahead of you.

The first-year syllabus is the basics of all the departments. It explains the basics of computer programming, electronic engineering, and others to all freshers. The change crops down after one month of classes. So, the students need to catch up with the departmental changes.

IIEST offers an under-graduation course in engineering and architecture, but you cannot change your department if you are admitted to the architecture department. It is better to choose for architecture department carefully as there will be no change after opting for it.
