In terms of teaching and placements for architecture, how good is IIEST Shibpur?

From the half-century of its existence, the newfound department of Architecture had produced 800 graduates in Architecture and 300 postgraduates in Town Planning.

NASA (National Association of Students of Architecture) was founded by the undergrad students collectively. The association is non-political and non-profitable. The department has a dynamic student’s body. Even its Alumni are spread across the world and the senior-junior relationship is wonderful.

Teaching:

• The professors are experienced, but they have a small ounce of work experience. So, their teaching lacks the upgraded trends and technologies that are being used in the present day. Even the syllabus is outdated.
• Most of the professors are not very student-friendly. It is better to maintain professionalism.
• Initially, the students find the college burdensome, but with time it is manageable. Most classes are held regularly.

Placement:

• There is hardly any placement assistance in this department. Students have to arrange the job/ internship for themselves. 
• Construction companies that visit the campus are not interested in recruiting architecture students. 
• Hardly 4-5 students get selected in MN Dastur. Although if a student has maintained a decent portfolio, they can get a job at lower packages.

IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges in eastern India in terms of infrastructure, campus, cultural fests (REBECA), and accommodation. The architecture department is the most active. Five years of architecture are packed with learning and growing.
