IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology review.
Placements: Placements for B.Sc. Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur are decent but not as good as for engineering. Almost all students get placed, though. Core jobs in the pharma and chemical industries are available, but many students opt for higher studies like M.Sc. or Ph.D.
Infrastructure: IIT Kharagpur has the largest campus in India, spread over 2100 acres. There are almost 25 halls of residence, each of which has its own mess or two. There are also night canteens. The food in the mess is good, and the sports and games facilities are quite good as well.
Faculty: The faculty at IIT Kharagpur are very learned and helpful. Some of them use a smart board and share PPTs, while others prefer to use the green board. They give regular class tests and assignments, which help in preparing for the mid-semester and end-semester exams. The end-semester exam has more weightage in the overall CGPA.

Our campus is large with pleasant atmosphere.
Placements: More than 80% of students get placed in our college. Top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Google, Indian Express, and Mercedes. The roles offered are lab chemist, biomedical chemist, etc. Internships are provided in our college from the 3rd year.
Infrastructure: There are 20 halls on campus for hostels. Most of the halls have a very good infrastructure, but some are old. Facilities such as Wi-Fi, a library, and well-equipped classrooms are provided. Food quality is average, food is eatable. Management takes strict action on mess contractors if there are any inconveniences in food quality.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members in our college are Ph.D. holders and knowledgeable. The course curriculum designed by faculty members is good. The difficulty level of the semester exams is average. The course structure is organised properly. Non-teaching staff members are supportive.

IIT Kharagpur: A Blend of Academic Excellence, Vibrant Campus Life, and Endless Opportunities.
Placements: The on-campus placements for the Chemistry department students are slightly on the lower end. Most students get placed in roles aligned with research and development, chemical engineering, and analytical positions. Some students also explore opportunities in IT, consulting, and finance sectors. Core recruiters include organizations like Tata Chemical, Piramal Pharma, Dr. Reddy's, Shell, Reliance, and BASF, offering roles in R&D and chemical analysis. The highest packages often exceed Rs 20-25 LPA. Average packages for core positions typically range from Rs 9-12 LPA. Around 60% of the students who sit for placements get placed, while less than 50% of students get on-campus internships.
Infrastructure: The facilities available at my department and the academic buildings are top-notch with well-equipped labs, modern classrooms with projectors, high-speed Wi-Fi, and proper air conditioning. The Central Library offers a vast collection of books, journals, and digital resources, accessible to all students. Hostels do have basic amenities, with common rooms, mess, music rooms, and night canteens, but many older hostels need major upgrades in terms of infrastructure. The mess food, although not of very high quality, can be said to be decent. Comprehensive medical facilities are available through BC Roy Technology Hospital. The campus encourages sports and fitness with a gymnasium, an athletic stadium, multiple cricket and football fields, a hockey field, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis, badminton courts, etc.
Faculty: The professors are very highly qualified, with the majority holding PhDs from top institutes across the globe. Not all but most of them are very approachable and often offer assistance beyond academics in projects, internships, and other research activities. The course curriculum is fairly relevant, although some electives need some update to cater to current industry needs. The semester exams are challenging, but the difficulty level can vary by subject. On average, around 5-10% of students find it difficult to pass some courses.
Other: I chose Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur for its strong research opportunities, expert faculty, and interdisciplinary approach. The best aspects include state-of-the-art labs, access to global journals, and campus-wide events like Springs Fest, Kshitij, Shaurya, that enrich the experience. Connectivity to Kolkata ensures easy travel, and scholarships support academic pursuits. However, the course could benefit from more industry exposure and electives. Vibrant extracurriculars and a diverse crowd make campus life memorable.
