Our detailed review of IIEST Shibpur

Overview

IIEST Shibpur (Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur) is in Howrah (Shibpur), West Bengal. The college dates back to 1856. One of the oldest engineering institutions in Asia, in the Kolkata region. It is not an NIT, but it joins the JoSAA process and is shown here with them.

How hard is it to get in?

Using the JoSAA 2026 Round 1 data, we place IIEST Shibpur in the mid tier band. The hardest OPEN gender-neutral seat was Computer Science and Engineering, which closed at CRL 16,599. The easiest OPEN seat was Chemistry, closing at CRL 53,192. So a candidate with an OPEN rank near 16,599 or better could aim for any branch, while a rank near 53,192 is only enough for the last branches. Remember that Round 1 ranks move up in later rounds, so a rank somewhat beyond these numbers can still get a seat.

Branches and programmes

The data lists 14 programmes at IIEST Shibpur: 10 four-year B.Tech and 3 five-year or dual-degree programmes. The most competitive three are Computer Science and Engineering; Mathematics and Computing; Information Technology. IIEST Shibpur also lists 1 architecture or planning programme. These are filled on the JEE Main Paper 2 rank list, so we keep them out of the rank comparison here.

Home State vs Other State

At IIEST Shibpur, Home State seats close at a higher rank than Other State seats for most branches. For Computer Science and Engineering, Home State closed at CRL 17,877 against CRL 16,599 for Other State. That means candidates from West Bengal usually get in with a weaker rank than outside candidates. Read our quota guide if you are unsure which quota applies to you.

Seats for different categories
