Mother of all IITs - IIT Kharagpur.

Faculty: The professors here are the best in their fields. Every one of them is highly qualified and has studied at the best universities in the world. Well, their approachability and bonding with the students can be debatable, as it depends on the proof of whether he is friendly or not. The curriculum is relevant, after all, it's an IIT. The semester exams are fairly difficult, they test us on all aspects of the subject.

Its the top college in India, you have to qualify for this.

Faculty: The faculty members here are really approachable moreover, the relationship between the faculty members and the students is very good. The exams are held on a semester basis. There are two main exams for theory, which are mid semester and end semester examinations, where for most of the courses the end semester examination holds a weightage of 50 percent and the mid sem holds about 30 percent. The rest of the 20 percent are on the hands of the professors.

An engineering life at IIT Kharagpur is very joyful and good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, technically qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is very good. They are teaching theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Semester exams are very difficult and tricky. In physics, the weave topic is difficult. I don't know about the pass percentage now.

Review of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

Faculty: All faculty members are well-trained after completing post-graduation, and their teaching skills are excellent. They explain clearly. The faculty members are friendly with students, the academics of IIT colleges are tougher and difficult to get good marks, but the education prepares the students to get ready to pace. The semesters are difficult, but it is easy to pass the semester exam.

Top student in India to get into this college.

Faculty: This is the IT all world class professors are available here. All topmost professors are present at IIT Kharagpur. The course curriculum is very good but many students' thought processes are far away. The course Curriculum consists of two semesters in a year. The IIT question papers are very tough. Many students are doing internships and projects throughout the year.

It is a big place where you can definitely find someone with the same vibe as you.

Faculty: The teachers were very helpful and supportive, and every teacher was ready to address individual student doubts. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready The semester exam is not difficult if a person just attends every class and focuses on the class without any extra studying or problem solving, they can get quite good marks, but not the best. The pass percentage is around between 30 and 40 per cent.

Everything is excellent, only sometimes the infrastructure may seem to be old.

Faculty: Faculty members are friendly. They try to explain everything, but the rest is upon you, that's how you manage your studies. Some of the subjects are very easy rest of them are tough. If you just follow the lectures and class notes, it is easy to score well on the exam.

Good placements but bad gender ratio.

Faculty: In my department, the faculty members are good. They are very enthusiastic and ready to help if you reach out to them for any doubts. Most of the faculty members have done their Ph.D. This is from various prestigious institutions across the world. Most of the professors teach on a blackboard by writing things with chalk, and they also make little use of PPTs. In recent years, IIT KGP has changed its curriculum to incorporate AI in most of the courses. There are mid-semester and end-semester. Mid...

We have the best campus and the largest of all the IITs. Teachers and placements are good.

Faculty: Faculty members are really helpful and supportive in all ways. Most of them are Ph.D. holders from some IITs, and their communication is really good. The semester exams depend fully on what is taught in the lectures, and 2-3% of students fail for some reason.

The curriculum of this course gives a brief introduction to all fields related to engineering so that we can explore the things that we enjoy learning more about. Regarding the difficulties and grading policy, it's neither bad nor good. It will be average based on the course.

Perfect regarding semester exams and good regarding infrastructure.

Faculty: The teachers are qualified. Some people are very good at making us understand and very few or rare teachers can make us understand. But they are also very good in that subject. The course curriculum is very relevant. It provides very high job opportunities for students. The difficulty of semester exams is moderate. If you study properly, every student will pass. The pass percentage is expected to be very high. It might lie between 90% to 95%.
