IIEST Shibpur is one of the most prestigious engineering colleges in West Bengal, often regarded as better than several NITs and IIITs. Admissions here are based on JEE Mains ranks. The campus is vast and surrounded by nature, making it a great place for nature enthusiasts. However, some important buildings could be maintained better, which is one of the reasons why engineering and medical education in Bengal lags behind other states. Additionally, there are plenty of street food options outside the campus, making it a lively place for students.
