My dream college- IIT, Kharagpur.
Placements: Placement for our college is one of the most robust features. Our senior batch had 19 students in their class for this course of M.Tech. IIT select only top 20 students for each stream of agriculture. Among those 19 students, 7 got the job in well-reputed companies like Evalueserve, Flipkart, CVRS educations, Intas, etc. Rest of them got opportunities like the assistant professor in many prestigious colleges, and some got offer letter for Ph.D. from many IITs, NITs, DBT, CSIR labs, and IISC.
Infrastructure: Our college has 24 hours free Wi-Fi. The speed is awesome. All the labs and classrooms have air-conditioners, projectors, and all other educational facilities. Also, our college has Asia's the largest library which has more than many thousands of books, and also the digital library.
Faculty: All the faculty members are mostly post-doctorate from the reputed universities with years of experience in teaching and research. They are highly qualified, calm, and innovative in their teaching skills. They help the students not only in the studies but also in co-curricular activities. Methods for teaching they adopt are unique and creative.
Other: Spring Fest is the cultural fest, Kshitij is the Techno-Management fest, GES for entrepreneurs summit for startups development and support, and many more. The sports are one of the major attraction of IIT and every year the students participate in inter IITs and perform well.
