It is the best college for the food engineering course.
Placements: IIT Kharagpur's Agricultural and Food Engineering department has a 68% placement rate. The highest package is 34 LPA, the median package is 13.7 LPA, the average package is 15.7 LPA, and the lowest package is 7.5 LPA for the 2023-24 batch. Companies like ITC, HQL, and PNG visit the college for placements. Roles ranging from technical positions to those in the agricultural supply chain are offered to students.
Infrastructure: The campus infrastructure with respect to classrooms and labs is top-notch. Hostels and mess food depend on the hall we get allotted. Many halls serve good food with rare exceptions and in girls halls, it is very good. Many halls have enough amenities to indulge themselves and just relax like table tennis, badminton, football, cricket, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are mostly good with rare exceptions. The course curriculum is very intense as we progress through our degree. Exams are also demanding and require significant time and effort. I believe students by the beginning of their 2nd year in college should decide the career path that they would like to pursue and work accordingly. For that, they will get all the help they want inside the campus from friends, faculty members, and seniors.

IIT Kharagpur is a nice college.
Placements: Placements at IIT Kharagpur have been excellent. A lot of companies visit campus every year. Our campus has a very high placement ratio. Companies hire across various domains from software to finance to business to core engineering. Roles offered are SDE, data analyst, and consultant. Our college has an excellent record for internships as well. A lot of companies come to hire interns for roles like data analyst, associate consultant, PM intern, SDE, etc.
Infrastructure: Our college has good infrastructure for my course. It has labs with all the required equipment. Classrooms infrastructure is also very good. We have both blackboards and projects in our classrooms. Classrooms are spacious. The hostel infrastructure is quite good. There are a lot of hostels and rooms vary from single sharing to triple sharing. I am president of Nehru Hall which has both single and triple sharing rooms. Single-sharing rooms at Nehru are just fabulous, like simply the best. Mess food quality depends on the contractor. It is generally nice.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Everyone is PhD holder. All of them have years of experience of teaching the course. So, teachers are highly knowledgeable and most of them are very helpful. The 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.
Other: I chose IIT Kharagpur primarily because of its great reputation and excellent academics. It is such an old university and has a huge alumni network. Multiple fests happen in my college like Springs and the cultural fest like Kshitij, the tech fest like Shaurya, the sports fest, and various other departmental fests. IIT KGP is blessed with a strong hall culture. The general championship is a way where every student can contribute in their ways to make their hall win and also gain new experiences alongside. Apart from this, a lot of things keep happening the whole day.

Absolutely amazing institute because of the faculty, and placements.
Placements: A very high percentage of students get placed in this course 88%. The highest and lowest packages for my course are between 12 LPA to 4 LPA. Top companies are also recruiting students from my course. A high percentage of students have internships in big companies like Zebronics.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department are excellent. Wi-Fi, classrooms, and the library are all available. The quality and facilities in the hostel are very good. The food made in the college is not tasty. Medical and sports facilities are available in the college.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable. They have good teaching qualities. The course curriculum is relevant, but students are not industry-ready. The semester exams in my college are very difficult. The pass percentage in exams is 40% in all subjects.

It is fascinating and wonderful.
Placements: Nearly 40% of students are placed in our batch. The highest package is about 26 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. The avarage is 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Amazon, Flipkart, and TCS. Almost 60% of students got internships in companies like Turimo.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and library are excellent and always open. The quality of the hostel and the mess are very good. Medical facilities are also up to mark. There are lots of canteens during the days and late also. We have huge infrastructure for sports and games.
Faculty: Teachers are invaluable. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable also. Many of them completed their studies at premier institutes like IITs and foreign institutes. The course curriculum is basic and is not up to the industry level without any projects under the teachers. Semester exams are pretty easy, and you can pass according to relative grading.
Other: I chose this course because this was the only option in the top 5 IITs during my counseling. The best thing about the course is the network of people and ideas that float. Campus life is amazing and there are a lot of things to explore.
