The faculty and infrastructure at IIT KGP are particularly very good.
Placements: The percentage of students placed in our course has been increasing a lot since there is a booming growth in the aerospace industry. Nearly 60-70% have been getting placed in our course. The lowest packages were nearly 6 LPA maybe the least one in the highest would be nearly 30 LPA. There are many good recruiting companies for our course like Clock Head, Martin, and GE Aerospace. Nearly 80-90% of the students are getting internships.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure in our department are very good. I like my department very much since I am more interested in it. The Wi-Fi and the labs are well maintained, and there is a large library in our institute that is also well maintained; it is our main resource to prepare effectively for examinations. I am from the South, and while I don't like the food that much, it's healthy.
Faculty: The exams are very tough at IIT Kharagpur, but the faculty in our department is excellent. The curriculum is well-structured and exposes students to all kinds of levels in the courses. They are conducted very well, and we have mid-semester and end-semester examinations.
Other: The campus at KGP is wonderful. I chose this place because I am interested in aerospace engineering; there are many events, and I cannot mention just one. Fashion events happen every month in KGP, providing us exposure to the outside world.

Amazing institute because of talented college family.
Placements: In the year 2024, during my placement, around 94% of students got placed, with the highest package being 160 LPA. The average package is 24 LPA, and the lowest is 10 LPA. There are many recruiting companies, a few of which are Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, and American Express. Most CSE students got internship opportunities. The top companies that recruit are Apple, Google, Microsoft, DE Shaw, Capital One ,etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are well-suited to the needs, especially the Wi-Fi, classrooms, labs, and library. The quality of mess and hostel rooms depends on the hall allotted, but they are manageable. Medical facilities are good, with a hospital on campus. Many amazing facilities are available here.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Everyone has a Ph.D. All of them have years of experience of teaching the course. So, teachers are highly knowledgeable and most of them are very helpful. Course curriculum is very relevant. It has even been updated for the 2024 batch as well to include AI and ML in the coursework as an important skill. Overall, the course curriculum is very relevant. Semester exams are designed by the professors. Exams are difficult depending on the subjects as well as teachers.

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.

Amazing campus and crowd but disappointing placements.
Placements: The aerospace engineering course is taken by only a few people because of its complexity and very less job opportunities. The average package is 18 LPA. The highest package is 60 LPA. The lowest is 10 LPA. I suggest students do projects with professors to get better internship opportunities.
Infrastructure: The department building is facilitated with advanced equipment which is used for creative thinking and helps us explore our thoughts. Classrooms are facilitated with central AC and a digital board. The quality of the food in the mess is not that good but there are many restaurants near campus for South Indians.
Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified and experienced. They explain concepts very clearly and neatly relating to practical situations. The course curriculum is designed in such a way that students are very practically prepared for real-time problems. The difficulty level of exams is moderate. The pass percentage depends upon the professors.
Other: I am interested in doing space engineering, so I chose this course. Few lectures are reading slides only. So I would like to suggest to change that. Events and fests are the best part of this campus. There are many societies you can try out to explore new things.

Satisfied because of the campus area, facilities are good and faculty are helping in nature.
Placements: There are 70 students in my batch. The highest salary for IIT Kharagpur aerospace engineering graduates can range from 30–40 lacs per annum for domestic roles and up to 1 crore or more for international positions. The lowest salary tends to be around 10–12 lacs per annum. These packages can vary based on the industry, company, and location, with core aerospace companies offering higher packages compared to other sectors, like consulting or tech.
Infrastructure: The labs are really good; everything is available, but some machines are old, and the Wi-Fi is sometimes really good and sometimes horrible—it doesn't even connect. Facilities in the hostel are okay. Everything is available, but some things are old; switches are broken, etc. The food is a little disappointing for vegetarians.
Faculty: Faculty members are really good-natured and supportive; they also have very good knowledge of their field. The course curriculum is relevant; it teaches the things that are necessary for the field and also develops students' mindsets. Semester exams are a little bit tough.

You don't require to learn something specifically now, but you should have crystal clear idea of your subjects now because all what you will be studying afterward is based on your 10+2 knowledge.

Hello Sanskriti, Of course yes. Any student who has completed aerospace engineering can surely join flying school where commercial flying is taught. This is so since basic eligibility for the course is 12th with PCM. Best wishes for your dreams of becoming a pilot.

The minimum score varies with the year, stream and the IIT. Board marks also have weightage. Scoring a rank under 5000 should do it for you.

Hello Fakruddin, Yes, it's perfectly possible to take admission in any IIT based on your Diploma. Just remember, IITs consider Diploma to be equivalent to class 12th and hence you will get admission in the first year provided you meet all other criteria.

Hello Ishfaq, No, the only way to get admission for undergraduate engineering programs at IITs is to qualify both JEE Main and Advanced. There is no other way. All the best!
