Which is a better college to pursue civil engineering, NIT-Durgapur or IIEST-Shibpur?

See you are opting for quite an outdated course. The scope and opportunities are very less. Talking about placement, it more or less lacks everywhere in civil branch. After all, you will be hired by a mass recruiter only (most probably). If possible, select a better stream. And if you want civil only, I can say both the institutes are good. Yes, IIEST Shibpur has the oldest civil department, but I can't say about the labs and facilities whether they are latest or not. Having a legacy doesn't imply that it will be good. If possible, explore both. Talking about NIT Durgapur, I've heard many complaints regarding placement but can't tell about the academic part. Many don't prefer NIT DGP civil. But this year, my friend left IIEST Shibpur civil engineering and chose NIT DGP electrical, after studying for 1 year in IIEST Shibpur. The reason why he left IIEST Shibpur, he said, is that the branch wasn't good and civil placement was very bad. And NIT Durgapur's placement is better than IIEST Shibpur's. So I suggest you explore it by yourself don't believe if someone tells you IIEST Shibpur is better or NIT DGP is better. Look for what you want and settle in any of the institutes. If possible, check for Rourkela.
