IIEST, Shibpur (erstwhile "Bengal Engineering
College") ranks 21st in NIRF-2020 among
Engineering Institutes. It is the first college to
become an Indian Institute of Engineering Science
and Technology (IIEST) in India in 2014. The
Institute has a rich history. It is an Institute of
National Importance and is empowering the
nation since 1856.

Rich History
IIEST, Shibpur owes its origin to the erstwhile
Bengal Engineering College, the history of which
goes back to the nineteenth century when
industries in the sense we understand today, were
practically absent. Prompted by the idea of
meeting the requirement of trained engineering
personnel for the Public Works Department, the
then Council of Education, Bengal, decided to
open Civil Engineering classes and a Professorship
in Civil Engineering was created at the Hindu
College, Calcutta, in the year 1843-44. A college of
engineering was started by the name of “Civil
Engineering College” on 24th November, 1856, in
the premises of the Writers’ Building, Calcutta.
In 1921, the name of the college was changed to
“Bengal Engineering College” (popularly known as
B.E. College). During 1921-43, the various

departments of the college were reorganized on
the recommendation of the 'Mukherjee
Committee' under the Chairmanship of Sir R. N.
Mukherjee, one of the most distinguished ex-
students of the college. 1
 About the Department
The Department started its journey back in 1906,

making it the oldest institute imparting technical
knowledge in Mining Engineering in the country.
The Department was shifted to the newly
established Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad
(presently IIT ISM Dhanbad). The Department
revamped its course in 1956 and has been
nurturing Industry leaders in the country and the
world.
Ever since its re-establishment, the Mining
Engineering Department has been catering to the
need of dedicated and skilled engineers in the
Mining Industry. Today, it stands as one of the most
diverse and vibrant departments in encompassing
all disciplines within Mining Engineering and
associated areas. Our students are well-versed in
fundamental theories of engineering backed by
state-of-the-art laboratory and computational
facilities. The department has frequent interactions
with the Industry Leaders, which help the students
to keep abreast of the latest developments.
