    The largest IIT and the first IIT.
    Placements: Around 1% of students go into the correct jobs. The packages are around 19 LPA, 5 LPA, and 9 LPA. Top opportunities are available in pharmaceuticals. Around 1% work as pharmacists, chemists, or HODs. Students can also pursue higher education by completing their Master's. Students can even pursue a Ph.D. and become professors at renowned institutes with top-level salary packages.
    Infrastructure: Asia's largest library is available here. Excellent food and sports facilities are at the next level. The ground is bigger than some colleges themselves. The campus has full Wi-Fi, so everywhere you get free Wi-Fi and enjoy high-speed Internet access. BC Roy Hospital is also in excellent working condition.
    Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified. The teaching is excellent. Sometimes, you may not understand what the teacher is even saying on the board. That level is incredible. The curriculum is relevant. It doesn't make students industry-ready, but it makes them CEOs and founders for those industries. The difficulty level is average.
    Other: The curriculum is easy. There are more placement opportunities. Asia's largest Techno-Management fest, Kshitij, and Spring Fest are also organized.

    My experience at IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
    Placements: Placement opportunities in our department vary according to our interests. In core opportunities, the number of companies visiting is low and has high criteria for recruitment. Non-core opportunities are plentiful based on our expertise and good credentials.
    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 for 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 make a decision about 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.

    Pros are the best in their field, but the way they teach makes the subject boring.
    Placements: The placement percentage varies every year depending on various factors, but many of them are placed; however, some are left who want to start their startups and pursue higher studies in the subject and research field, etc. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Quant, Goldman Sachs, etc. Top company's these top companies visit the campus.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is excellent, especially in the green areas. However, the Wi-Fi service varies; it works well in some locations but is slow or unreliable in others. The laboratories are well-equipped, and there are air-conditioned classrooms available. The library is fully air-conditioned and operates from 8 AM to midnight, but during exam periods, it is open 24/7. Hostels are referred to as halls, which are decent and can accommodate a good number of students, although they do not have air conditioning. Unfortunately, the mess of food leaves much to be desired.
    Faculty: Teachers are qualified and are the best in their respective fields, but a lack of teaching in the subject makes it boring to study. They follow the old curriculum, but it's not that relevant. Semester exams are of a moderate to tough level, but if you have studied before the exams very well, you won't find them difficult.
    Other: This course was recommended by my friends who have completed their studies at other IITs. It differs from other engineering branches, but you will develop a keen interest as you progress through the next semesters. We have a beautiful campus with extensive greenery and trees. Our campus hosts various fests, including a sports fest called Shaurya, a cultural fest named Springs Fest, and a tech-fest known as Kshitij. People from all over India come to participate in these events, which feature different competitions. The festivities are incredibly enjoyable and full of fun!

    IIT KGP: Experience the real college life.
    Placements: About 40-45% of students get placed on-campus and many of them get good non-core jobs off-campus too. As mine is a research degree, some of them get research offers from top universities in United States, European countries, and Australia. Overall, it is good as there is less competition in core jobs in my college.
    Infrastructure: Hostels are decent. They are neither great nor bad. The mess depends upon the hall of residence. Hostels are called a hall of residence here in which you are. You may get a good meal in a particular hall or get a bad one too.
    Faculty: Courses are amazing. The faculty is very helpful and interactive. As I stated earlier, faculty members are top-notch. They have excelled in their fields and doing really good research work here. They are very interactive. The curriculum is great. It is not very tough like some of the other IITs, it is on an easier side but the competition here in a batch of so many students makes it a bit tough. Exams depend upon the professor and the subject can be really easy and hard.
    Other: Campus life and the environment make IIT KGP different from any other college in India. You get to learn and experience so many things in different fields of study from scratch, which helps students to think and build things from the ground level.

    Overview of IIT KGP (Geology and Geophysics) course and opportunities.
    Placements: The total placement (on-campus and off-campus) is more than 50%. However, the placement percentage is higher for those who opt for integrated petroleum engineering (M.Teach) along with the 4yrs course. The highest placement offers are often in off-campus placement. So I don't have the record to exactly state the highest or the lowest packages. The median salary goes to about 12 to 14 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The college offers excellent facilities like a laboratory and classes. But the course curriculum is outdated. The central library is filled with useful study materials and scientific journals. The hostel quality is satisfactory. The taste and menu of mess food are not up to the mark, though the quality of ingredients and hygiene is strictly maintained. The college also covers the cost of medical facilities. There are excellent facilities for every type of sport in every hostel. Apart from that there is TATA sporting complex and Jnan Ghosh stadium.
    Faculty: The faculty members are one of the best parts of IITKGP GG department. Every professor and teaching staff are helpful. They encourage research and refer good students interested in higher studies to renowned foreign Geological Institutes. Research articles of many of the faculty members have been published in some of the most prestigious journals and magazines in the world. The course curriculum is outdated, to be honest, but it's not heavy. So you can prepare for an alternative path if the subject doesn't suit you.
    Other: Truthfully, this course was not my first choice. I chose the Institution more than the course due to the strong alumni connection, knowledgeable peer group, and excellent campus life. The amount of exposure and experience that you gather during the 4 or 5 years of campus life is essential in building the managerial and leadership skills required for high-quality, high-paying jobs. The course itself is not that impressive.

    IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology review.
    Placements: Placements for B.Sc. Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur are decent but not as good as for engineering. Almost all students get placed, though. Core jobs in the pharma and chemical industries are available, but many students opt for higher studies like M.Sc. or Ph.D.
    Infrastructure: IIT Kharagpur has the largest campus in India, spread over 2100 acres. There are almost 25 halls of residence, each of which has its own mess or two. There are also night canteens. The food in the mess is good, and the sports and games facilities are quite good as well.
    Faculty: The faculty at IIT Kharagpur are very learned and helpful. Some of them use a smart board and share PPTs, while others prefer to use the green board. They give regular class tests and assignments, which help in preparing for the mid-semester and end-semester exams. The end-semester exam has more weightage in the overall CGPA.
