Placement: I'm studying B.Tech Electrical Engineering at IIEST Shibpur, batch of 2021-2025. The placement scene for Electrical Engineering looks good and keeps getting better every year.

Wi-Fi is fast in both the department and hostel, but it can get a bit slow during busy times.

Admission: The teachers here are pretty smart, but not all of them are great at teaching. Each professor has their own cool way of teaching that goes beyond just lessons.
