IIEST, Shibpur started its journey way back in 1856 as the second oldest Engineering Institute of the country .After contributing immensely towards producing quality manpower to the country , we have been given the status of and Institute of National Importance in 2014. I am happy to announce that this year we have been ranked twenty among the top Institutions of higher education of our country by the NIRF ranking system and it is our goal to be among the top ten within the next few years. It has been a heartening experience for me to be witness to a rejuvenated Institute where the Academic community are giving full effort to achieve excellence in the sphere of teaching, learning, creation and dissemination of knowledge. Our Institute has always laid great stress on research activities. Along with quality teaching, the Faculty members are devoting their energy to quality research as well. In the last year, there have been 417 publications in peer reviewed journals. The doctoral programme is gaining momentum and we have at present more than 600 research scholars pursuing Ph.D programme. The Institute has also witnessed an excellent growth in the number of sponsored research projects in the recent past. At present, research projects worth about 75 Crores and consultancy projects worth about Rs. 15 crores are being pursued in different departments. In keeping with tradition, this year too several faculty members have been lauded and have won recognition for their superior academic performance. To mention a few of them, Dr. Saptearshi Ghosh of Computer Science and Technology has won the prestigious Humboldt Fellowship to work at the Max Planck Institute, Germany; Dr. Sulata Mitra and Dr. Sipra Das Bit won the Best Paper award in IEEE Indicon; Dr. Malay Bhattacharya of IT has received the BIRD award for outstanding contributions in Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics; Prof. Swarup Kumar Ghosh of Metallurgy has won the Best Paper award at RAFTS; Prof. H. Saha of Green Energy and Sensor Systems was nominated as RAC member of NETRA and NTPC; Dr. Jhuma Ganguly of Chemistry was awarded the Young Faculty Research Award, 2015 by GAABESU; Dr. Arijit Sinha of the School of Materials science has received the Young Engineers Award from the Institution of Engineers and many other Faculty members have delivered addresses and Chaired sessions of International conferences and also edited volumes of International journals. Substantial advancements have been made under the TEQUIP II scheme through which our Institute could procure instruments like UV-VIS spectrophotometer; Wave probe monitor, portable RF analysers etc. and 51 workshops/seminars/conferences have been arranged the previous year. Also, to promote Industry-Institute interaction, 25 interaction programmes were arranged. We are proud to announce that from this scheme the Centre of Excellence for Microstructurally designed Advanced Materials has been established in a space of about 5000 sq.ft. area. There has been a substantive growth in the number of laboratories and other Infrastructural facilities for academic growth of the Institute. Several existing laboratories have also undergone extensive modifications .In the Department of Mechanical Engineering Thermal Power Laboratory has been equipped with Engine Emission measuring instruments , FESEM has been procured under DST-FIST programme, Single Crystal X-Ray Diffractometer has been procured in the Department of Chemistry under SAIF programme, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectromemter has been procured in the Department of Physics, new infrastructure has been developed in the School of Mechatronics and Robotics and many other developments have taken place. The period under review has witnessed a wide range of academic events organized by various Departments that includes a number of National and International seminars and workshops. Eminent personalities like Prof. Subhendu Guha of United Solar, USA, Prof. Rolf Drechsler, University of Bremen, Prof. Stephen Fiatus, University of Newcastle and many others visited the Institute and delivered talks. Our students have been performing extremely well both in academic as well as in extra curricular activities. To mention a few, research Scholars Soumi Bhattacharya and Anuja Roy went to Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland for research activities, Neelanjan Datta, M.Tech student presented a paper at the 4th International Water Conference at Oklahama, USA, Mousumi Mitra presented paper at International Conference at Kiyoto, Japan. Research Scholars and students of Electrical Engineering, CST, Civuil and ETC have initiated the IEEE Students Branch in the Institute. The Institute has always been taking initiatives in social outreach programmes. The School of Community Science and Technology has been involved in a Corporate Social Responsibility scheme of the Government of India with the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd. in association with Kolkata Police for imparting Vocational training to the unemployed youth in and around the Garden Reach area of Kolkata. The Equal Opportunity Cell of the Institute has been organizing remedial coaching classes and training for examinations leading to entry into services for students belonging to reserved categories and the non creamy layer of the society. The process of strengthening the Ramanujan Central Library of the Institute continued throughout the period under review. A detailed plan was prepared for interior design, internal refurbishment, decoration etc was prepared and its execution has started. Access of full text electronic resources including ASCE journals, ASME digital library and IEL online available through INDEST-AICTE Consortium was continued. Access to JSTOR, Institute of Physics and Royal society of Chemistry journals are provided through UGC-INFONET Digital library consortium. From the Annual report of various Departments, Schools, Centres and Administrative sections, it is clearly manifested that after being recognized as an Institute of National importance our Institute is consistently moving ahead in all activities at a very fast pace, creating real manpower and thus serving the Nation. I would like to extend my heartiest thanks and congratulations to all Faculty members, students officers and staff of the Institute for working together harmoniously towards achieving excellence. My special thanks to the team who worked tirelessly to bring out this Annual Report. (Ajoy Kumar Ray) Director Content Sl.
