IIT Kharagpur - Amalgam of Culture and Academics .
Placements: Most of the department students gets placed during the placement season. The highest package goes around 2-2.4 crores, while the average package is around 15-18 lacs. Roles being offered are SDE, Analyst, Product Manager, Consultant etc. Everyone is placed .
Infrastructure: Academic infrastructure is relatively better than accommodation. Accommodation are still to be developed in terms of basic facilities, basically it lacks maintenance. Food here is below average to average, very much influenced by Bengali flavours, very sweet in taste .
Faculty: Experienced faculty members and curriculum is being revamped every year to stand at par with industry standards, but still some subjects doesn't stand relevant to the present scenario. Exams are very well organised and with proper coverage of the syllabus.
Other: A lot of events take place in campus, campus life is what makes IIT worth getting as very versatile crowd is present here and the rich culture and the hustle to passing on the culture is what very encouraging. Fests are way beyond the imagination and all managed students.

The life at IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: From my batch people who were pursuing same course as me, I think more than 90% of them got placed. The annual package offered ranged from 9 LPA to 30 LPA. Goldman sachs offered the highest package, while EXL hired people in large number. Overall people pursuing my course have edge in knowledge of statistics, econometrics which helps them in getting hired for the role of data or risk analyst though it would be hard to restrict people in one range as they get placed in wide range of domains from coding to finance. Everyone has to do a intern so I think everyone got the internship. The top companies I remember which hired for intern from my department were D Shaw, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Amazon, Blackrock etc.
Infrastructure: There is no Library for the department, as there is one central library for almost every department. The whole campus has Wi-Fi including our department. The classrooms available are all air conditioned and external noise proof. The infrastructure of the hostel is above average in terms of sports but food available in mess is I think pretty average. Canteen serves decent food and there is one canteen for every different hostel.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and curriculum is relevant to placement as well as research. We have maths intensive course involving matrices algebra, differential equations, statistics to very theoretical courses along the lines of political economy, psychology etc.

Awesome campus with mind blowing placements.
Placements: The placements offered at IIT Kharagpur were impressive always, but from the past two years, it has become even more attractive, regarding number of placements and average/the highest package. Not only the core engineering departments but other departments are also getting huge offers from the core/ non-core companies. About 80-85% of the students who sit for placements get placed. The highest package offered this year was 1.4 crore per annum and if we talk about the average package its about 14-18 LPA. Mostly non-core companies are visiting from past four years, and they also offer very good package. The companies like Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Adobe, Schlumberger, etc. visited the campus this year. Huge number of students get PPO's and internship offers. There is a placement cell of institute " Placement Community" and they had done an awesome job this year by placing 1000 students in just 8 days.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of IIT Kharagpur is awesome that if you visit campus, you will think to get admission here. Lush green campus with Wi-Fi facility available everywhere. The swimming pool, two-sport grounds, Asia's the largest library and 24 hours medical facility add beauty to the campus. The classrooms and labs are very good, but the hostel rooms are not good. The food quality is good, but if you get bored, we also have cafe coffee day, Baskin Robbins, subway and many restaurants on campus according to your mood.
Faculty: The faculty here is very good, all the professors have done their PhD either from India or foreign universities. The professors are helpful and always motivates you if you want to do any research work with them, or they also recommend you to foreign professors if you want to research from any other university. The course curriculum is frequently revised according to prevailing market demand which is helpful and its made, keeping in mind that the student gets time for other extra academic activities also.
Other: IIT Kharagpur organises many events and fests, but two most famous fests are Kshitij and Spring fest. Kshitij is India's the largest techno-management fest, and Spring fest is Social-cultural fest with about 50-60K participants participating in it.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are very good new. Advanced labs and classrooms are there with new technologies and modern facilities like computers, internet connectivity and proper air-conditioning. WiFi and LAN are very good at IIT Kharagpur. Mess food is good and the facilities at halls are worth the cost. We get sports facilities for cricket, hockey, football, tennis, badminton,, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, etc.
Faculty: Teachers are very good at IITs. They are well qualified and have vast knowledge about their fields. They are very helpful to students enrolled in their courses. Course curriculum is relevant to the industry. It has different courses in theory and lab which are required in the field of data science. You can pass the exams by just regularly attending the classes and going through the references provided by the professors during the beginning of the course.
