Review of IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: The placement scenario at IIT Kharagpur for the current batch looks very promising. In the 2023–24 placement season, a total of 1,277 students got placed. In electrical engineering, the highest package offered was around 66 LPA, and the average package was approximately 23.3 LPA.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are modern and well-equipped with projectors, air conditioning, and charging slots for laptops on each bench. The Wi-Fi network is spread all over the campus, providing easy access to the internet. Hostels are very old and not very aesthetically pleasing. Some of the hostels lack washing machines, and the food quality is not good in many.
Faculty: Professors at IIT Kharagpur are well-educated and highly qualified. Although many students are not compatible with their method of teaching. Most of the time it is the students who have to study the same subject all over again from external sources. The course curriculum is fairly relevant.

Welcome to Apna college: IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: It is really good every year with large MNCs and HFT companies come to hire students like Google, Microsoft, Honeywell, Sprinklr and HFTs like Quadeye, Graviton Research, Alphagrep etc. And about 90%-100% students who sit for placements gets an offer.
Infrastructure: I am from LBS hall or residence. Rooms are 3-tier and each block has 2 wings on each floor, with total of 4 blocks. Mess is good, but sanitary actions must be taken care since, I feel bathrooms are unhygienic. There are many sports and grounds for badminton, volleyball, basketball, cricket, football etc. Which are 24*7 open.
Faculty: Electrical course is tough as compared to other departments courses (I feel so at least). Still, our department has good and interactive professors as well as helpful TAs, to clear your doubts. We can contact them anytime if we have some query. Also there are multiple sessions organised to give tips and how to build a professional career.
Other: Based on my AIR 1187, I got Electrical Engineering in IIT Kharagpur. I love the fests organised by Kshitij and Spring fest every year, and enjoy the beautiful enlightened campus.

Other: I opted for this course because of my interest in it. This course allows us to know about various things we use in day-to-day life. Our college should have more professors.
