Diamond Jubilee Walk – Guru Dakshina – B. E. College 1966-71 Batch 
To commemorate our first day at Bengal Engineering College (now IIEST, Shibpur) 
six decades ago, we 1966–71 batchmates assembled at College Campus on July 11, 
2026, for a memorable Diamond Jubilee Walk. 
The day began in the morning at the Guest House, where we dressed ourselves in our 
special light blue T-shirts and caps bearing the "BEC66-71" logo. Donning our 
matching attire, we took a nostalgic tour of the campus. We visited our respective 
academic departments, Downing Hall, and other hostels, alongside other iconic 
landmarks such as the Slater Archives, the Oval and the Lords playgrounds. 
Following the campus walk, we held an engaging one-and-a-half-hour meeting with 
Prof. V.M.S.R. Murthy, Director and Prof. Anirban Gupta, Dean-IRAA. After brief 
self-introductions, our primary discussions focused on the future upgradation and 
development of our historic institute. 
At the conclusion of the meeting, our batch proudly presented a Demand Draft of 
Rs 2,25,000 as "Guru Dakshina" to our Alma Mater, a token of our enduring 
gratitude.
