Can I upgrade from metallurgy to ECE in IIEST Shibpur?

Yes, you can change your branch from metallurgy to ECE after the 1st year. At IIEST Shibpur only 20% of students in each branch are given that choice except the architecture branch. There are the following conditions for changing branches:

1. You should not have past records of failure supplementary or re-admission.
2. You should not have any record of disciplinary action in the college.
3. Your dues should be clear to date.
4. This scheme is restricted to 5% of the total seats available in the various branches.
5. The reduction in the number of students in each branch should not go below 10% after the relocation.
6. You should have a good CGPA in the last semester. It should be above 8.4 points in the metallurgical department.

Allocations are given on the basis of the above conditions and if there is a tie between two students then the tie is broken through the CGPA marks in physics, chemistry, and math. One who has the highest marks gets the seat.
