IIT KGP: Experience the real college life.
Placements: About 40-45% of students get placed on-campus and many of them get good non-core jobs off-campus too. As mine is a research degree, some of them get research offers from top universities in United States, European countries, and Australia. Overall, it is good as there is less competition in core jobs in my college.
Infrastructure: Hostels are decent. They are neither great nor bad. The mess depends upon the hall of residence. Hostels are called a hall of residence here in which you are. You may get a good meal in a particular hall or get a bad one too.
Faculty: Courses are amazing. The faculty is very helpful and interactive. As I stated earlier, faculty members are top-notch. They have excelled in their fields and doing really good research work here. They are very interactive. The curriculum is great. It is not very tough like some of the other IITs, it is on an easier side but the competition here in a batch of so many students makes it a bit tough. Exams depend upon the professor and the subject can be really easy and hard.
Other: Campus life and the environment make IIT KGP different from any other college in India. You get to learn and experience so many things in different fields of study from scratch, which helps students to think and build things from the ground level.

Review of IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: It is an excellent college. In the previous year, almost 85% of students got placed. The highest salary package offered is 65 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 8 LPA. The average salary package offered is 18 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Vedanta, Schlumberger, ONGC, etc., visit our campus. Almost 60% of students get internships. Top roles offered are junior geophysicist and field manager.
Infrastructure: Our college provides good infrastructure. All facilities are available in classrooms. The quality of mess food is good. It serves four meals a day. We have badminton courts and volleyball courts. A music room and gym are available. Medical facilities are available. Drinking water is provided 24X7, and electricity is supplied.
Faculty: Our teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult.

Overview of IIT KGP (Geology and Geophysics) course and opportunities.
Placements: The total placement (on-campus and off-campus) is more than 50%. However, the placement percentage is higher for those who opt for integrated petroleum engineering (M.Teach) along with the 4yrs course. The highest placement offers are often in off-campus placement. So I don't have the record to exactly state the highest or the lowest packages. The median salary goes to about 12 to 14 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college offers excellent facilities like a laboratory and classes. But the course curriculum is outdated. The central library is filled with useful study materials and scientific journals. The hostel quality is satisfactory. The taste and menu of mess food are not up to the mark, though the quality of ingredients and hygiene is strictly maintained. The college also covers the cost of medical facilities. There are excellent facilities for every type of sport in every hostel. Apart from that there is TATA sporting complex and Jnan Ghosh stadium.
Faculty: The faculty members are one of the best parts of IITKGP GG department. Every professor and teaching staff are helpful. They encourage research and refer good students interested in higher studies to renowned foreign Geological Institutes. Research articles of many of the faculty members have been published in some of the most prestigious journals and magazines in the world. The course curriculum is outdated, to be honest, but it's not heavy. So you can prepare for an alternative path if the subject doesn't suit you.
Other: Truthfully, this course was not my first choice. I chose the Institution more than the course due to the strong alumni connection, knowledgeable peer group, and excellent campus life. The amount of exposure and experience that you gather during the 4 or 5 years of campus life is essential in building the managerial and leadership skills required for high-quality, high-paying jobs. The course itself is not that impressive.
