Pros are the best in their field, but the way they teach makes the subject boring.
Placements: The placement percentage varies every year depending on various factors, but many of them are placed; however, some are left who want to start their startups and pursue higher studies in the subject and research field, etc. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Quant, Goldman Sachs, etc. Top company's these top companies visit the campus.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is excellent, especially in the green areas. However, the Wi-Fi service varies; it works well in some locations but is slow or unreliable in others. The laboratories are well-equipped, and there are air-conditioned classrooms available. The library is fully air-conditioned and operates from 8 AM to midnight, but during exam periods, it is open 24/7. Hostels are referred to as halls, which are decent and can accommodate a good number of students, although they do not have air conditioning. Unfortunately, the mess of food leaves much to be desired.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and are the best in their respective fields, but a lack of teaching in the subject makes it boring to study. They follow the old curriculum, but it's not that relevant. Semester exams are of a moderate to tough level, but if you have studied before the exams very well, you won't find them difficult.
Other: This course was recommended by my friends who have completed their studies at other IITs. It differs from other engineering branches, but you will develop a keen interest as you progress through the next semesters. We have a beautiful campus with extensive greenery and trees. Our campus hosts various fests, including a sports fest called Shaurya, a cultural fest named Springs Fest, and a tech-fest known as Kshitij. People from all over India come to participate in these events, which feature different competitions. The festivities are incredibly enjoyable and full of fun!

Review of IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: The placements are pretty decent; almost 65% were placed last season despite the recession in the market. The average salary was between 18 and 20 lpa. A similar placement percentage was observed in my branch, and the top recruiting job roles were software developer, data analyst, consultant, and product management.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available are quite apt to the needs, especially the Wi-Fi, classrooms, labs, and library. The quality of mess and hostel rooms depends upon the hall you are allotted. They are manageable. The medical facilities are good, with a hospital on campus.
Faculty: The faculty is very knowledgeable and qualified, and they know their stuff; they also try to teach as well as they can 9/10 times. Faculty could be strict for attendance, and that's the way it is. The exams are at good level but manageable if you study regularly.

Review of IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: Placements are good here. They are good for the mechanical department too. The average package offered is 18.5 LPA, and the highest package is more than 1 crore. Around 40 companies provided jobs in 2021-22. Internships are provided with stipend, and maximum students get internships. Few students like to study further.
Infrastructure: Hostel rooms aren't so good, but the facilities and infrastructure are very good. It has an enormous place for sports activities. There are many sports complexes, and a gymkhana with modern equipment. Everything is well maintained. The food provided is good and has a perfect taste. Wi-Fi has good speed. There are sports competitions. Medical facilities are good.
Faculty: Our faculty members are the best. Amrita Sen is one of our faculty who is an Indian economist. The curriculum is easy and makes students industry-ready. They share their experience with us and help us elaborate our thinking and are supportive of us. They try to make us understand things in every way possible.

Best college for core with less advance rank.
Placements: In a short note, placement is less than other branches although it is satisfying. It has various fields in which we can apply for placement. The highest package was something around 40-60 LPA and the lowest was 12 ig. There are a lot of companies like Adobe.
Infrastructure: Campus facilities are so good. The central library is wonderful. Wi-Fi cable connection has a speed upto 600MB/sec. Labs are so clean and has all the instruments.
Faculty: Profs there are so talented in their field. They have friendly behaviour. We can ask our doubt easily on MS teams or on whatsapp. Profs are knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is superb. The curriculum is a bit longer. Because of the covid, our semesters are divided into 4 months. When we talk about semester exam, they were so hard, especially BEM subject.
Other: The environment is good.

It is a nice course, and you will not regret joining here.
Placements: Nearly everyone who sits for placements and prepares for it seriously for 5-6 months will easily get a job with an average package of 10 LPA. If you want a higher package, you have to work hard. The lowest and the highest packages are not released officially, but you can get it from Awaaj, IIT Kharagpur's newspaper body which takes this data.
Infrastructure: IITs suffer a lot and especially IIT Kharagpur, being one of the oldest institutes. It has halls (hostels are called halls in KGP), which are 40-50 years old, and they barely do any renovation. There is a shortage of hostel rooms.
Faculty: IIT professors are the best, and they have good knowledge. They are recognised world-wide, and they have books which are sold for 10,000-15,000 on Amazon, but the thing is they are not interested in teaching. They try their best to teach, but you have to study on your own in the end.
Other: The economics course comes under the humanities and social sciences department. It was started in the early 2000s to promote inter-disciplinary studies, and it helps a student who has a good understanding of Maths and economics. Hence, this is a very good course and will surely be one of the best courses very soon.
