An engineering life at IIT Kharagpur is very joyful and good.

Placements: 85 to 90 percent of students got placed in my course. The highest package ranges from 20-24 LPA. The lowest package ranges from 4-5 LPA. The average package ranges from 8-10 LPA. Top recruiting companies for my course are Accenture, TCS, Infosys, etc. 70-77 percent of students got internships. Top roles offered are software engineer, project associate, analyst, etc.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are available in our college. Wi-Fi is very good and useful for our academic career. High-speed Wi-Fi is also available at our central library. Hostel facilities are available and comfortable. Hostel food is satisfactory, but it is not good. There are good games to play, like cricket, carrom, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, technically qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is very good. They are teaching theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Semester exams are very difficult and tricky. In physics, the weave topic is difficult. I don't know about the pass percentage now.

Other: I chose this course on my own because I'm not interested in coding and in core subjects. Best part of our course is the balance of practical labs and theoretical depth. Events and fests are not very enjoyable.

Top student in India to get into this college.

Placements: Placements were wonderful expected from a top IIT. Many multinational companies visited our college. Almost all students got jobs abroad or in India. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, Samsung, etc, were the recruiters. The highest package offered was 44LPA and the lowest package offered was 12LPA.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was world class. This was the best campus in all of India. Classrooms were made fully furnished by the British Empire. All facilities were available in the classrooms. Library is like a university campus, with all types of books in the world available. There are gardens, a swimming pool, different grounds for different sports and many extracurricular activities present. Hostels are very good. Mess food is very good.

Faculty: This is the IT all world class professors are available here. All topmost professors are present at IIT Kharagpur. The course curriculum is very good but many students' thought processes are far away. The course Curriculum consists of two semesters in a year. The IIT question papers are very tough. Many students are doing internships and projects throughout the year.

Dissatisfied because of my expectations by college.

Placements: 20% of students are placed in on-campus placements. The highest package is 50 LPA, the lowest is 10 LPA, and the average is around 18 LPA. Core placement companies like Airbus, Being, Rolls Royce, Altair, etc., visit the campus. 10-15% of students secure internships. Roles like Structures Engineer and Control Engineer are available.

Infrastructure: Most of the classes are held in other buildings (not in the department). For labs, we have to visit the department. The Wi-Fi facility, labs, classrooms, and department library are well-maintained and clean. The same can be said for the hostels, but the food available in the mess is just okay. We have one of the best sports facilities and good medical facilities.

Faculty: Professors are very well-qualified and insightful. The teaching quality varies across professors, but most of them are good at teaching. The course helps build core knowledge, but we have to work on our own to make ourselves industry-proficient by seeking help from seniors and professors. The semester exams are tough, and the pass percentage is around 90%.

Other: There is no particular reason for me to select the course. I just got interested in it during the counseling period. The best thing about the course is that it provides most of the mechanical engineering knowledge along with aerodynamics, which is quite popular in other countries. The number of companies coming for placements is low, and the same can be said for the core placement percentage. Most of the events are held in January (two fests, Kshitij, and Springs Fest), and they are quite enjoyable with friends.
