How is the aerospace engineering department in IIEST Shibpur?

The aerospace engineering department at IIEST Shibpur offers students with aerospace engineering as well as applied mechanics. Students always get confused as they often ask if the academic choices get bound to aerospace engineering only. But you could have used copper for studying structural and fluid that are two main aspects of applied mechanics as well. Labs and facilities are still not fully constructed, but once they are constructed, they are going to enhance the department's performance a lot. This department has developed several talented students since its beginning. Maximum students get good marks in their GATE examination every year. Two of the pass out students have gone to the University of Suny buffalo and Illinois University as well. Students are also sent for internships at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and other IITs only if they show their interest.

• Student-teacher ratio: It is also very impressive with 36 seats in total and 20 teachers.

• University tie-ups: The department has tied-up with IIT Kharagpur where the students are taken for labs and other practicals.

• Qualified Facilities: The university is among the very few where you will find technically qualified teachers with good experience in the field. Professors always help out to gain practical knowledge even though Laboratories are not fully developed.

• Hightech latest Labs: It has a fluid dynamics lab as one of the basic subjects that are required for studying aerospace engineering.

Placements:

The placement records have improved this year, and many placement drives are yet to be organized. No core company visited the campus to hire the students studying in the Aerospace department because most of the core Aerospace companies ask for an M.Tech degree in aerospace engineering as the minimum qualification.

The department is a very young department that has still to grow to obtain its full strength. But the scope and opportunities associated with it are huge, and you may get a very good and experienced faculty to guide you.
