The Department of Electrical Engineering at IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest and among the best in the country providing dynamic and scholarly environments wherein students learn independently and in collaboration with others to develop a disciplined yet innovative approach to their careers as professional engineers, researchers or teachers. The department offers an 8-semester undergraduate B.Tech course, and 4-semester postgraduate M.Tech. degree course in Electrical Engineering. The department also offers research programs leading to a Ph.D. degree. The department started its journey way back in the year 1912-13 and produced its first batch of graduate electrical engineers in 1936 in the erstwhile Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur. Post-independence, when the nascent nation had just started building the power plants that have been instrumental in realizing the dreams of modern India, many of the visionaries, planners and implementers were the students of this department. Graduates from the EE department are highly sought after by top companies like Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and Amazon for placements in both core and software sectors, and a significant number also pursue higher studies at renowned national and international institutions.
