IIEST Shibpur offers integrated MTech for engineering streams. So, first, be clear if you want to pursue MTech from an institute that does not have a record of producing post-grads like IITs or other universities abroad.
Comparison:
In academics, there is not much difference between JU CS and BESU CS.
In fact in the present scenario, JU CS has better placement statisticsas compared to BESU CS.For this reason, sometimes BESU CS/IT graduates join IITs after the completion of their course and often end up in the same firms their fellow JU mates are working in for 2 years.
BESU got updated to the status of IIEST quite recently. It will take some time for the institute to improve its infrastructure and academics. Being an institute of national importance, the institute is attracting good facilities and campus recruits.
The bottom line is if you are sure that you want to pursue integrated MTech, IIEST CS is not a bad option. Be it JU or BESU, the institute does not matter that much. If you are hard-working, you will excel.
Jadavpur University has managed to survive the recession to give its student a handsome placement package. My friend is currently studying there and their placement happens all around the years, unlike IITs where placement happens for two weeks or so.
Like most engineering colleges, CSE as usual tops the placement with their highest packages. The most popular recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, etc.
Almost 100% of students are placed in all the branches. Here are some branch-wise placement statistics for the year 2020.
Departments | Average Package | Highest Package |
CSE | 20.6 LPA | 58 LPA (Google) |
IT | 15 LPA | 51 LPA (Shopee Singapore) |
EE | 9.73 LPA | 65 LPA (Atlassian) |
Mechanical Engineering | 8 LPA | 17.6 LPA (GAIL) |
Chemical Engineering | 6 LPA | 16.8 LPA (AB InBev) |
Production | 7.2 LPA | 22 LPA (Goldman Sachs) |
Another good thing at Jadavpur University is that most of the big IT/ Analytics firms do not discriminate between the branches and allow them to sit for their placements. This way, you can grab a job in any field that you would like if you develop an interest in it in your college tenure.
IEM Kolkata is a reputed technical college in the region. But given a choice, you should take Civil/IT at Jadavpur University. JU ranks among the top engineering colleges in the country. It is well ahead of IEM, in terms of placement and opportunities.
Many core companies visit JU to recruit Civil Engineering students. The IT placement is excellent. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. take part in Jadavpur University placements. During the 2022 placement drive, Facebook offered the highest CTC of INR 1.8 Crore per annum. The second highest CTC was INR 1.4 CPA, by Google.
As per the reports of last year, NIT Trichy is deemed better than Jadavpur University. Thus, you must not leave any chance to get into NIT Trichy.
Going by the recent rankings and alumni networks it is safe to say that NIT Trichy is ahead of Jadavpur. However, you should do your own research and make a decision based on that.
Having some friends at Jadavpur University, I can list some problems that students usually face:
All in all, JU needs improvements with the serious involvement of all the students, teachers, staff, alumni of JU. By tackling all the problem areas together, it can shine like IITs and NITs in the near future.
Jadavpur University is better than NIT Durgapur. In spite of being an NIT, NIT D fails to offer many basic facilities. The undergraduate laboratories are not well-maintained. The campus doesn’t have an active research interface for undergraduate degrees.
Jadavpur University students receive way better learning resources and guidance for higher studies. Located at the heart of Kolkata, there is better availability of coaching for competitive examinations. It offers better placements as well. More than 100 recruiting companies took part in Jadavpur University placements of 2022. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 1.8 CPA. Industry giants such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. took part in the placement drive.
The eligibility for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is 50% in diploma. If you have the required percentage you can sit for JELET. A valid rank will be considered for admission.
The number of seats for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is limited. So, in order to get selected, you will need to score higher ranks. Otherwise, you will have to go to the Govt. colleges like JGEC, or KGEC.
If you aren’t getting old IITs, top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Trichy), Jadavpur University is one of the best choices available. The faculties are highly qualified and experienced. It has a great research culture. Jadavpur offers excellent academic culture, and peer group.
The institute also has an impressive placement record. Jadavpur University placements in 2021 concluded with an average CTC of INR 10.2 LPA. The highest CTC was INR 58 LPA. Major industry giants such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook visit the campus drive of the university.
I have a few friends who have completed their B.tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Jadavpur University. Here are some crucial factors you must take into account to understand the difference.
By no means a state-level university can outstand a national-level Institute. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has an edge over JU in almost all aspects. If you score well enough for IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, there’s no point in thinking about Jadavpur University.
