The best part of my life is spent here at IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: I am from the 2020–2025 UG batch. In my course, almost 90% of students get placed. For internships, the rate is about 95%. The highest package exceeds crores per annum, while the average package ranges from 15–16 LPA and the lowest package is approximately 7 LPA. The top recruiting companies include BCG, Google, Microsoft, Adobe, etc.
Infrastructure: Laboratories are fully equipped with various research facilities from molecular biology to bioinformatics. Everything is available. The classrooms are well-lit, air-conditioned, equipped with projectors, and have Wi-Fi access throughout the campus. The Central Library here is the largest in Asia. I am from the MMM Hall, which is the largest hostel with a capacity of over 2,000. All rooms are double-sharing here. However, the food quality in the mess is going down day by day. The authorities should take care of it.
Faculty: Almost all professors hold a Ph.D. from elite institutions across the world. They are all active in research, publishing in high-impact journals. The core curriculum is a fusion of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Computational Modelling. It also includes wet lab training. The semester exams are concept-heavy. Only this department follows an absolute grading scheme.
Other: I chose this course because of my strong interest in Biotechnology. There are two main fests. Spring Fest and Kshitij.

Proud to be Kgpian and being an IITian.
Placements: This year the average package was 16 Lacs and the highest was 92 lakhs. You cannot find core companies for biotechnology, so most of the students get placed in non-core companies. But, if you are passionate about Biotechnology then you can go for higher studies for research.
Infrastructure: Coming to the infrastructure, IIT Kharagpur consists of world-class facilities. Even though IIT Kharagpur is one of India's oldest colleges, it is comprised of great infrastructure. Every year renovation takes place and new constructions are going on. Biotechnology has got a newly constructed building which gives you a world-class feel equipped with well-maintained labs and classrooms.
Faculty: Faculty at IIT Kharagpur are highly experienced and have depths of knowledge in their respective subjects. Most of the professors are cool and student-friendly, So never hesitate to clear your doubts with them. And the academic curriculum is easily manageable, and you get a lot of time to explore new things.
Other: I chose this branch because I have a passion and interest in research and also IIT Kharagpur was always my dream campus. The campus life here is the best. You cannot find any pubs/malls but you have a great 2200 acres campus with all the necessary facilities and a great peer and alumni group. Fests like Kshitij and Spring fest are conducted every year, where you will get to connect with a lot of students.

Overall, it has been a great experience in terms of exposure we get in this institution.
Placements: Around 80-90% of students were placed, of which half of the students got placed in software, finance and consulting companies. The other half are placed in academia or research-based roles in healthcare companies. 100% of students are offered an internship either in industry or academia. Companies like Elucidate and Optum recruit for the core field, and companies like Gartner, Goldman Sachs, etc., for non-core fields. Many students are offered fully-funded PhD positions or Masters at prestigious institutions across the globe, including institutions like Harvard University, Cornell University, University of Illinois, University of Pennsylvania etc.
Infrastructure: 24*7 Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. It has well-organised labs with dated equipment. Classrooms are large and have all the required teaching equipment. The library is one of the biggest in India, with access to several up-to-date books and journals. The old hostels are not maintained properly. But the new hostels are good and have a good infrastructure. Canteen food tastes good, but mess food has a mediocre taste. Medical facilities are okay. Sports and games are high quality and competitive.
Faculty: All the professors are well qualified and teach very well. The course curriculum is relevant to academic research. However, students who wish to gain industrial experience have to put in the extra effort. Exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is 90%.
Other: Apart from the excellent and elaborate coursework, there are numerous opportunities to pursue extracurricular activities. The students are actively involved in social and cultural activities, technology development and sports. There are lots of opportunities to pursue any career in any domain, be it within the scope of your course or something completely different from your field of study.

I wanted to do biotechnology course in which I am interested there is nothing negative to point out.
Placements: Approximately around 70-80% of students will be placed every year the highest package is around 80 Lacs - 1 crore per annum and the average package is around 12 - 14 Lacs per annum top recruiting companies are google, texas, microsoft, tcs, domora, amazon around 60-70% of students get intern every year.
Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, IIT kharagpur is one of the best colleges in India matching international standards. It is one of the few colleges in India which has upgraded its classrooms to facilitate teaching through modern tools an techniques. The college has centrally air-conditioned classrooms with wi-fi enabled lcd projectors .
Faculty: Yes we assume that the lecturer has enough time to lecture to the average student all the topics in the course plan before the final exam. This will be the case generally established course. The design of the curriculum packs in material to meet the capability only of the average student.
Other: We have lot of clubs and fests where we can explore a lot.
