IIEST Shibpur B.Tech Mathematics And Computing: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

I have a few friends at IIEST and based on what I heard I can say that conclusive developments are taking place at IIEST Shibpur for the CSE course. Projects under the supervision of esteemed faculty were introduced in the second year. The curriculum has been improved to become one of the best in India.

There are also visiting faculty from foreign universities such as Harvard and so on. At present, the faculty is working on projects worth crores.

Abroad Internships are available to CSE IIEST students as early as in the first year.

The CSE department at IIEST is now significantly better than that of top NITs. So in short, IIEST Shibpur CSE is the better alternative.

The fees of IIEST Shibpur keep changing with time, and the present structure is published on the institute’s website accordingly. The present overall first-semester fee is Rs. 42,500, for M.Tech, which is broken into different fragments as stated below in the following table.

Key Highlights:

• The total first-semester fee includes a refundable caution deposit of Rs. 3000. For the other three semesters, the fee remains Rs. 39,400.
• There is a hostel fee of Rs. 1900, which is not mentioned in the fee breakup table.
• Other than the hostel fees, there is a variable mess fee of about Rs. 3500. There is also an extra annual mess fee of near about Rs. 4000-5000, which depends upon the expenditure.

This is the overall structure for the M.Tech fee in IIEST, Shibpur. Other than this, there are other expenses that depend upon the candidate’s way of living and standards.

Any college can be good for competitive programming. It all relies on you to educate yourself, to learn new strategies, and to spend hours coding. 

• Anudeep Nekkanti is one such example. He was recruited by Google and qualified for ACM ICPC world finals. If you look at the name of his college, it's not one of those elite ones. 
• There was no competitive programming pattern in BESU/IIEST until recently. But many students have taken competitive programming platforms such as Codechef and HackerRank over the last few years.
• You can search the Codechef Rating System site to verify it for yourself. You get a college-wise database of the number of students actively engaged in competitive coding and their results using this platform.

Lastly, don't support the myth that the only way to prove yourself as a coder is competitive programming. There are other coding fields as well. In this sense, do not consider that there was no "real coder" in IIEST because there was no competitive coding pattern previously in IIEST (BESU back then). 

Some of the alumni of the institute are working in top companies in India and overseas and have never been interested in competitive coding.

The second-oldest engineering institute in the country is the Indian Institute of Engineering, Science & Technology, Shibpur (formerly named BESU and B. E. College). Since 2014, it has been listed as an Institute of National Significance like IITs or IISc by the Parliament's NITZER Act.
