Mother of all IITs - IIT Kharagpur.

Placements: During the current placement, there were 1000+ offers in just two days. In my department, Mechanical Engineering, about 70% of students get placed. The average placement package is 17-18 LPA, the highest going upto 50-55 LPA. If we talk about the maximum package offered, it sometimes crosses 2 crores.

Infrastructure: State-of-the-art infrastructure is present for all the students. Labs, classes and libraries are best. The hostels can be a little disappointing, the food there is not that good, and it will take time to adjust to the taste of the mess food. But you can always find night canteens and restaurants inside the campus if you want to treat yourself to good food.

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.

Other: For me, choosing this course was very easy. I was always very interested in physics and mathematics, so mechanical engineering is a department that has the best of both worlds. Talking about the fests of our college, these are the best days of our campus life.

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

Placements: The placements in IITKP are very good, as a lot of companies visit due to the placements. The B.Tech students are available to sit for placements in their 4th year, while the dual degree students are available to sit for placements in their 5th year. In my course, the highest package in general lies around 1.5 crores per annum, and the lowest package lies around 10 to 20 LPA. There are five profiles that students choose during placements. The software development is the one I am choosing, and the companies offer, on average, around 20LPA.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities in IITKGP are not up to the mark. The hostels are mostly run based on Hall tempo and bonding. The library here is also one of the biggest libraries of all the IITs, and it has a lot of rooms where you can sit and study. It stays open till 12 o'clock. Almost all of the books are available in the library that you want to read, or it has access to the national digital library, and you can read anything that you want. The facilities of technological aspects are also really good.

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.

Top recruiting companies for my course are Accenture, TCS, Infosys, etc. 70-77 percent of students got internships. Top roles offered are software engineer, project associate, analyst, etc.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are available in our college. Wi-Fi is very good and useful for our academic career. High-speed Wi-Fi is also available at our central library. Hostel facilities are available and comfortable. Hostel food is satisfactory, but it is not good. There are good games to play, like cricket, carrom, etc.

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.

Other: I chose this course on my own because I'm not interested in coding and in core subjects. Best part of our course is the balance of practical labs and theoretical depth. Events and fests are not very enjoyable.
