Everything from courses to campus is awesome.
Placements: The placements are very good in IIT Kharagpur. This year IIT Kharagpur has made the world record of the fastest 1000 placements in just 8 days in phase 1 of the placement sessions. Students from almost every department got jobs in different fields. The students who haven't got placements are trying in phase 2 which is still going on. The second phase will continue till March.
Infrastructure: IIT Kharagpur is spread across 2200 acres of campus. Each department has its own excluded building. The lab and other research facilities are very good. There is a central research facility (CRF) building where students from different fields can conduct their experiments related to their research work. Along with CRF, there are also laboratories in the respective departments to help the students related to their work. More improvements are still going related to infrastructure.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members are well qualified. They all have different methods of teaching a class. Sometimes you may like them sometimes not, but if you consult them, they are very helpful. The student-teacher ratio is very good in my department but can vary in other departments. The course curriculum is very good. We all have an option of taking elective subjects, not only in our department but also in different departments if you are interested in doing so. There are many internship opportunities which vary department to department, which gives us exposure to industries and hence to the real world problems. For master's students, there is also an option of doing your project work while doing an internship in the company. I find it a very good opportunity.
Other: IIT Kharagpur has 24 hrs Wi-Fi connection and also LAN connection in our hostel rooms. There is almost no pollution in the campus which I find best about IIT Kgp. We have our technical fest known as Kshitij and cultural fest called Spring Fest. Students from different colleges from all over the country come here to participate in these events. Every month, one or the other inter-hall extracurricular activities are going on. IIT Kgp has different societies related to different fields which you can join if you are interested. To name a few, Robotix club, space science society, pravah dramatic society, etc.

Best college in the world, you have to earn it
Placements: There are wonderful placements going on in our college. The person with good talent will for sure get a job here. Even they may become wonderful entrepreneurs. The minimum package will be 6 LPA, and the average will be 20 LPA. There is a separate cell called CDC, where jobs and internship opportunities are available. So irrespective of your branch, almost everyone can participate in every offer (keep in mind it’s almost, not 100 percent.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities at IIT KGP are well-organized and designed to support student life comfortably. Each student is provided with basic furniture, including a B.Ed study table, chair, cupboard, and a ceiling fan or AC in a few hostels. Classrooms are equipped with modern teaching technology. Sports and extracurricular activities are a very important part of campus life. IIT KGP offers world-class sports facilities, including an athletics track, swimming pool, and multiple courts for different sports. Outdoor and indoor both are included. There are numerous student-run clubs and societies that cover a wide range of interests in tech and cultural activities.
Faculty: The faculty at IIT Kharagpur is highly qualified and experienced, with most holding PhDs from top Indian and international institutions. The faculty-to-student ratio in M. Tech programs is generally healthy, around 1:10 to 1:15. I would rate the course curriculum at IIT Kharagpur as highly relevant and moderately comprehensive. One key reason I chose the M. Tech in Earth System Science and Technology is that it is very nature-related and scientific.
