Choosing between CST at IIEST Shibpur and ETCE at Jadavpur University is a tough call since both are pretty good. Let's break it down:

Rankings: * Jadavpur University is ranked 17th for B.Tech among 300 colleges in India (2020). * IIEST Shibpur is at 21st among engineering institutes (NIRF 2020).

Admission:

Jadavpur University: * Need 10+2 with 45% and a WBJEE score. * 90% of seats are for West Bengal domicile (General Category), and 10% are for all-India students. * Last year's cutoff for the general category was around 110-114.

IIEST Shibpur: * Need 10+2 scores with at least 45% and a minimum of 30% in English. JEE Mains (Paper 1) scores are required. * Admissions through JoSAA Counselling and CSAB Board. * The cutoff for the general quota was around 4978-9379.

Fees: * JU's B.Tech fees are much lower compared to IIEST Shibpur. It's about INR 9,600 for the entire course at JU, while IIEST Shibpur costs around INR 1.37 lakhs per year. * JU also offers scholarships like the SN Scholarship and DAAD Scholarship.

Placements:

Jadavpur University: * Almost 100% placement rate. * Highest package: INR 58 lakhs. * For ETCE, out of 55 eligible students, 51 got placed. * Average package for ETCE: INR 9 lakhs, highest at INR 39 lakhs. * Top recruiters: Amazon, Synopsis, TCS, HPCL, and Goldman Sachs. * Some students also pursue higher studies at IITs, IIMs, etc.

IIEST Shibpur: * Placement rates have dropped in recent years (85.71% in 2017, 81.82% in 2018, and 72% in 2019). * Average package for CST: INR 9 lakhs, with the highest at INR 39.12 lakhs. * Around 90 companies visited, making 462 offers. * Top recruiters: Cognizant, Infinity Infosys Parks, Capgemini, etc.

Based on rankings, fees, and placements, ETCE at Jadavpur University seems like a slightly better option.
