Is IIEST Shibpur a better college than NIT Jamshedpur for engineering studies?

Question

Sanchari Dutta · Accepted Answer

When comparing NIT Jamshedpur and IIEST Shibpur, NIT Jamshedpur generally comes out on top. But, it's worth looking at a few things:

Faculty: Check out the professors and their expertise.
Research: See what kind of research opportunities each college offers.
Quality: Consider overall quality.

According to MHRD rankings, NIT Jamshedpur is doing better than IIEST Shibpur. Keep in mind that just because a college is old doesn't automatically make it the best. A college's reputation and growth usually depend on its alumni and how much funding it gets from the government, which helps in building good faculty.

Here’s a quick look at both:

Criteria	NIT Jamshedpur	IIEST Shibpur
Became NIT	2002	2014
Placement Statistics	90%	80%
Highest CTC	12 LPA	9 LPA
Lowest CTC	3.5 LPA	4.2 LPA

IIEST is more focused on research, like IISER. Also, IIEST offers a 5-year course, which might not be the best if you're not planning to do a Ph.D. later on. Plus, IIEST fees are higher because of the extra year. Since there's already IIT Kharagpur in West Bengal, IIEST probably won't become an IIT. Some people see Jadavpur University as a stronger contender if another IIT were to be set up in the state.

So, if you are looking for a good engineering college, NIT Jamshedpur is a solid choice.

Its a Question about your future!
