A place where you can explore wholesome of opportunities.

Placements: My branch is under the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and it is a very mediocre branch. Here, the things are similar to those of the Mechanical, with no such difference. But what makes it good is that the workload is less compared to others, and the batch size is also good.

Infrastructure: Our campus is well-equipped with all necessary facilities. We have Wi-Fi access across the campus with a decent speed and good latency. The food available in the hostel and mess is horrendous. It seems very bad to say that IIT Kharagpur cannot provide well-cooked food to students.

Faculty: All the faculty members are well-educated, and their experience is at par than any other institute in India. The curriculum here is very vast, and we get many courses. The best thing is exposure to new fields of study, like while engineering, you get to know about consulting and stuff.

Other: My passion to explore various fields has attracted me here.

Most beautiful campus and lavish greenery.

Placements: 75% of students are placed in my department. The highest package is 2.1 crores, and the lowest is 10 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course are Amazon, Google, BlackRock, Microsoft, and some other top companies in all fields. Jobs in the core are also very high nearly most students get internships from my course and top companies like Amazon, Google, Texas, and Nvidia.

Infrastructure: IIT Kharagpur is very beautiful, and Wi-Fi or internet facility is available 24/7 in almost all places on the campus. There is a vast library. I don’t like the food very much here, but the canteen, medical facilities, and hostel rooms are good. There are many grounds on the campus, and there are three big stadiums.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Everyone has a Ph.D. and they have a very high level of knowledge. They are very friendly. This course is curriculum-relevant. The pass percentage depends on the professor. The semester exams are based on what the professor teaches in classes. If we attend classes regularly and manage our time, the semester exams are okay you can easily pass.

Other: There are also many clubs that we can participate in based on our interests.

Absolutely amazing institute in India.

Placements: Placements are pretty decent as almost 65% of students get placed each season despite market recessions. The average salary ranges between 18 and 20 LPA. A similar placement percentage is observed in my branch and the top recruiting job roles include software developer, data analyst, consultant, and product manager.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are well-suited to the needs, especially the Wi-Fi, classrooms, labs, and library. The quality of the mess and hostel rooms depends on the hall allotted, but they are manageable. The medical facilities are good, with a hospital on campus. Many amazing facilities are available here.

Faculty: The exam occurs in two phases. The first is the mid-semester exam, which covers 30% of the syllabus, and the second is the end-semester exam, which covers about 70% of the syllabus. Faculty members here are very helpful and excellent, with more than 15 years of experience.

It is the best college for the food engineering course.

Placements: IIT Kharagpur's Agricultural and Food Engineering department has a 68% placement rate. The highest package is 34 LPA, the median package is 13.7 LPA, the average package is 15.7 LPA, and the lowest package is 7.5 LPA for the 2023-24 batch. Companies like ITC, HQL, and PNG visit the college for placements. Roles ranging from technical positions to those in the agricultural supply chain are offered to students.

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 in 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 decide 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.

It is one of the best IITs in the nation.

Placements: In the year 2024, around 92% of Computer Science students got placements, with the highest package being 160 LPA. The average package was 24 LPA, and the lowest was 10 LPA. Many recruiting companies visited, a few of which were Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, and American Express. Most of the CSE students got internship opportunities.

Infrastructure: The department building was facilitated with advanced equipment, which was used for creative thinking and helped us explore our thoughts. Classrooms were facilitated with central AC and a digital board. The quality of the food in the mess was not that good, but there were many restaurants near the campus of South Indians.

Faculty: IIT professors were the best in the nation. Our professors were highly experienced in their fields and enthusiastic about their subjects. The curriculum at IIT Kharagpur followed the same structure as other engineering colleges, which was good. The exam levels were also well-managed, and high-level exams were conducted.

Other: There is no way to improve in this course. Events and campus crowd was so good. Scholarship is available in my college.
