I am very much satisfied because of campus life and supportive faculty members.

Placements: Almost 35% of students get placed. The highest package is around 40 LPA and the lowest package is 20 LPA. Top recruiting companies like SLB and Cairn India Limited. Almost 15% of students get paid internships where as others prefer government PSU internships. The top roles offered in the course include creative and design team member, secretary of ESSC, etc.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with a projector, AC, and comfort benches. The library of IIT Kharagpur is Asia's largest library. Hostels have geysers, washing machines, canteen, etc. The whole campus is well-connected by a Wi-Fi facility which can be accessed only by roll number.

Faculty: The study curriculum is research-oriented. The course curriculum is suitable for research work, and only not industry-oriented. Semester exam question paper levels are moderate to hard. The pass percentage of the semester exam is almost 100%. Teachers are well-qualified and helpful.

Other: The campus is huge and spread over 2100 acres. It has a very good reputation in our country. Every year fests are arranged like a sports fest named Shaurya, a techno-management fest named Kshitij, and a springs fest. Road connectivity inside the campus is very good.

IIT kharagpur - The dream of youth.

Placements: Students who want to take placements can easily secure them after some exams. The average package is 12 lakh per annum, while the highest package was about 1 crore per annum. Top recruitment companies include Google, Microsoft, PwC, etc. Almost all students get internships, and the top roles for my course are as researchers.

Infrastructure: There's a fantastic hostel facility at IIT KGP. You can choose a single room or a double-bedded room with a fan, one bed, one study table and chair, and one cupboard in every room. Some of the rooms also have AC facilities. There is free Wi-Fi for every student, and the food is fantastic and delicious. You will also receive free healthcare. Additionally, there is a library and study room in every hall.

Faculty: The professors here are highly qualified, with almost all of them holding foreign degrees. The course is entirely relevant to industry standards. The exams are quite difficult, so you need to study consistently every day to score good marks. However, you will receive a lot of help from the teachers.

Other: I chose this subject because I love it and want to pursue further studies and learn about it deeply. There are many sports and competitions happening every day. The campus environment is fantastic.

A short review for upcoming M.Sc. students in IIT Kharagpur.

Placements: I am a student of M.Sc. . Mathematics at IIT Kharagpur (batch of 2025). Generally, placements in the mathematics department are very good because M.Tech in CSDP is also included in the mathematics department. But 90 percent of M.Sc. students in mathematics who opt for placements get placed in various EdTechs or IT sectors, depending on there interest. In Edtechs Sri Chaitanya, Unacademy, Byju's, etc., students get placed there for around CTC 10–12 LPA. Some of the motivated students (including my seniors and batchmates) study data science, data analytics, and software development on their own and get placed at IBM, Google, TCS, Siemens, Amazon, and various HFTs for CTC 15, 20 LPA. But most of the placements in our department happen in the EdTech industry. Lastly, we have a mandatory 2-month summer internship program. Many of our seniors got internships in the IT sector, while others opted for academic internships. You can have a paid or unpaid internship, depending on the institute or company.

Infrastructure: You can do anything on your mind, and you will get top-notch facilities here. Cricket, football, swimming, tennis, squash. It's basically a never-ending list, and the craze for GC (competition between hostels) is immense. Also, we have a tournament called SHAURYA, where various institutions from West Bengle participate, and IIT KGP hosts the tournament. Facilities are not limited to sports only; you can also join instrumental music, sing, dance, play or anything else and also participate in inter-IIT competitions. And you can also join various clubs in Gymkhana. In short, you name something and you will find that there are many restaurants on campus as well. In new hostels, you will get single rooms with centralized AC, washing machines on every floor, centralized toilets, and bathrooms that get cleaned every day. In old hostels, you won't have access to AC, and you also have to share rooms with one or two roommates (depending on your luck). The quality of food in canteens is good; some of the night canteens are very famous for there food (JC Bose, VS, RK, etc.). The taste of mess food is basically a lottery case; some days it's good and some days it's terrible. But they use quality products that's ensured by boarders who have to do there mess duties. And you will find many restaurants on campus. And you will get free medicine from Frank Cross Pharmacy with the prescription of BC Roy Hospital (inside campus) if you are ill.

Faculty: Every teacher is highly qualified in IIT's and it reflects in there lectures. They are very helpful, and you can have discussions at any time with their convenience. They teach us what is helpful and relevant for our future (various exams or a PhD). You can not complain much about faculty members at any IIT (with a few exceptions, obviously). But exams are on the tougher side for every paper and the grading system for every teacher also varies. There are midterm and endterm examinations and you will not be given any study leave or gaps between exams.

Other: I was motivated to study mathematics; that's why I came here. You have access to one of Asia's biggest libraries and some of the best teachers in our country, that's for sure. Also, the campus life of IIT KGP is awesome; everyone knows about Springfest, the biggest fest in Southeast Asia and the biggest Techfest in India, where you can participate in various hackathons, robotics, AI competitions, etc. If you are an M.Sc. student, you can get an assistantship of 1000 INR per month, or you can apply for any state scholarship (Domicile of West Bengal) or central scholarship.

A honest review from my end.

Placements: Last year, 3 students sat for the placements and three of them got placed in good companies. You can sit for various roles like software developer, data analyst, tutor in prestigious coaching institute and private colleges also. A good package was offered here last year, i.e. 18 LPA.

Infrastructure: There is no doubt that IIT has best infrastructure. Hostel facilities are good but as it is one of the oldest IITs, so there are some old hostels with small rooms and there is no AC at all in any hostel. Also, they have so many issues with accommodation right now as they are not able to finish the construction of new hostels so they have forced 4 students to live in a single room. Wi-Fi is present all over the hostel.

Faculty: The course curriculum’s pressure is so hectic. Recently, they have changed the curriculum and added so many interesting things which are going to help in us during placements as well as during competitive exams.

I'm honored that I got an opportunity to study in one of the best institutes of my country.

Placements: I didn't opt for placements. I wanted to go for Ph.D. so placements isn't a option I'm looking for. Though you have to register at CDC for placements links to which will open in last year. Vast no. Of companies offer placements every year paying a hefty salary.

Infrastructure: CAMPUS: You will fall in love with 2.2 which is a oval road around which all the halls of residence are located. There is a on campus high-speed Wi-Fi for every student who can use for unlimited data. You can roam around on the cycle (you have to buy) and not fatigue. The campus is a 4000+ acres making it one of the vast campuses in world. LIBRARY: The library is very large and air-conditioned. It contain each and every book possible ( indian authors and foreign authors both) and no students finds it difficult to read the most expensive book on planet. CLASSROMS: Classrooms are well-equipped with projectors, white boards, chairs, air conditioning and all other things you can imagine of. CANTEEN: Their is a canteen dedicated to each and every hall of residence. ( I resided in LBS and I love nescafe outlet ) You have a separate place where Wao Momo, CCD, Mio More, Smart Pind etc. Restaurants can be found. I loved the on campus Subways. GAMES: Their you can find all the possible grounds and courts for each sport. Infact their is a dedicated Tata Steel Sports Complex for every athletic sport. HOSPITAL: Their is a dedicated B. C. Roy Hospital that is available 24*7 for students in case of emergency. The doctors tier are very well trained and dedicated to the service of students.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and what I imagined that their will be a language barrier because that's Bengal and I'm from Haryana but it's not so. Bengali is a sweet language and you'll learn it in no time. What I personally felt was that IIT KGP recruits the best of the best people of respective field and the professors are really expert in their discipline. Not to brag but I was taught by the leading cancer biologists and my one Teacher was the member of Royal Society of Biology. I will be grateful to them for all the knowledge.

Other: I chose this course because I'm really fascinated by the role of microbes in disease progression and what can be done to prevent those diseases. I believe even a single productive research paper can change the course of advancements in Science and help people dealing with deadly diseases. EVENTS: The most famous event is the spring fest which is a one week long festival which happens every even semester. I can't explain the fun even in a 1000 word article but I assure that you are just gonna love the vibe.
