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.

IIT of joy - IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: As per last year's statistics, 68.75% of students get placed with the highest and minimum package of 33 and 8.5 Lacs, respectively. The average package was 17.96 lacs, and the median package was 16.50 lacs. Companies like Nestle, Britannia, etc. come every year for placements. Approximately 30 to 40% % students get internships in companies like Nestle, Britannia, etc.
Infrastructure: IIT KGP has great infrastructure with all facilities; my department has AC classrooms with modern projectors to teach. Wi-Fi is available on the whole campus, and at the same time, library facilities are also good. We have a central library that has all the useful books. Free bus and medical services are provided inside the campus. The hostel provides all required facilities, including sports, proper electricity supply, furniture, etc. But mess food is below average.
Faculty: All teachers are helpful; you approach them first and are well qualified. A few teachers are involved in some research. They thought so as well. Yes, the curriculum is relevant for my industry but a little modification is required. Marking is relatively new, so their are no fixed passing criteria. Their are two major exams in a semester, mid-semester and end-semester. Some courses are very tough and some are medium. Overall, the semester is above average.
Other: I chose this course because it is related to my culture and I was looking for the top 5 IITs while counseling and as per my rank, I got this. The best thing about this course is that it is not a loaded branch, so we can get a lot of free time to skill up ourselves. A new and advanced farming method should be thought of. Various events and extra activities happen yearly, like Malhar, NSSC, shaurya, Indian case challenge, etc. Two major festivals—Kshitij, a technical fest and Springs Fest—happen in January every year.

Review of Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: Everyone got placed and some got PPO as well. The highest salary package was 80 LPA, the lowest salary package was 10.8 LPA and the average salary package was 13.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Nestle, Britannia, and Pepsi. Around 50% got internships from CDC, the remaining people went for off-campus internships and some took projects under esteemed professors. The top roles offered are Food Officer and Agritech Innovators.
Infrastructure: All the hostels have sufficient amount of infrastructure. Facilities like Wi-Fi and library are accessible to all. It has the largest library in India. Good quality facilities are available in the hostel, the food quality is not so good, although there are night canteens which serve good food. We have 2 hospitals, although medical facility is not so good. There are proper courts for every sport one can think off.
Faculty: Some teachers are strict, but most of them are lenient and teach a bit fast. They have very good knowledge in their field. The course curriculum is designed very carefully. You can take additional/Micro/Minors in other subjects as well. College trains students well to become industry ready as well. Exams are easy if you study the previous year's questions carefully that are easily available from seniors. The pass percentage is 40%.
Other: The course I have chosen is available only at IIT. The best part is its scope is increasing day by day. More career options related to the core could be improved in the future and are happening gradually. Every day there is an event going-on on the campus. We have two fests, the SpringFest which is the cultural fest, and Kshitij the annual techno-management fest, the largest fest of any IIT. Departments have their fests as well. The crowd is good with a total of 16,000 people on campus, including Ph.D. and M.Tech students as well. Some areas have connection problems but are very less. Campus is the largest in India with around 2200 acres. A lot of scholarships are available. Extracurricular activities like NSS, NSO, NCC, and NCA were recently added.
