Which is better, IIT Kharagpur aerospace or IIT Dharwad CSE?
The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.

A Ph.D. student at IIT Kharagpur experiences another side of life at IIT that is way different from the classroom life of a student.

Comprehensive vivas are extremely tiring and one could get interviewed for hours on end until the DSC committee is satisfied.

Is IIT Kharagpur the right option for Northern Indians?
I have seen a lot of North Indians in a dilemma while choosing IIT Kharagpur mainly because of the food and culture. They are under the impression that being situated in Bengal, it is dominated by Bengalis only. In reality, you will find people from every corner of the country and a rich blend of cultures at IIT KGP.
In fact, the lush greenery is a surprise for North Indians as it’s a luxury for them. As far as the food is concerned, the taste is far better than that of North Indian colleges. The students decide on the menu on their own thus satisfying the taste buds of everyone.
IIT Kharagpur is the best decision one can make irrespective of which part of India you belong to. You get to experience college life like no other and also get to pursue the branch of your choice.
How much does the Work experience, test score, other factors matter for admission in PGDBA course hosted by universities IIT Kgp, IIM C , ISI Kolkata?
The section-wise weightage for final PGDBA shortlisting is not revealed by these colleges. They analyze all these aspects and a candidate’s interview when putting out the final offer. The interview helps them assess what a candidate brings to the table. Even if they start announcing the section-wise weightages some day, that should not affect your test preparation. Your work experience and past academic record are unchangeable factors, but your entrance test score is in your hands.
Study for the entrance exam with utmost sincerity, and stop worrying about other aspects of your profile that you can not change.
What methods and habits should one follow to achieve a 9+ CGPA in IIT Kharagpur?
There is no fixed method that can guarantee a 9+ CGPA in IIT Kharagpur. But one can talk to their seniors or toppers and get a little insight into the methods adopted by them to ace exams. My sister recently graduated from IIT KGP with a 9.7 CGPA and shared the simple tips that helped her sail through the tough college years
- Don’t miss lectures at all and make concise and precise notes on the same
- Do your assignments well before the deadline so that it does not affect your entire study schedule
- The key is consistency. Studying for short periods regularly is better than studying for long hours in the last few weeks before exams.
- Pay special attention to subjects with more than 10 credits and try to excel in them no matter what.
- Don’t take the lab sessions lightly and make your contributions in the same.
These simple pointers will help you a long way to secure an excellent CGPA.
How do I change my PhD guide in IIT Kharagpur?
You should have a plausible reason justifying your guide change during your Ph.D. at IIT Kharagpur. One such reason can be very slow progress or laid back attitude. There might be any other compatible issues as well that might hinder your progress in getting the required training for a Ph.D. degree.
Once you are certain that your reason is one that needs to be addressed, present your stance to your Head of the Department, who will call a meeting of your doctoral scrutiny committee (DSC). You will be asked to present the case in front of the DSC members and your guide who has to agree to release you from his guidance. Once you have been released, another faculty member of the same department should volunteer to take you under his umbrella.
Concludingly, there are 3 major requisites for Ph.D. guide change
- A concrete reason like no progress
- The faculty guide should be ready to release you happily
- Another faculty guide should be ready to take you under his guidance.
These may look like simple steps but sometimes can be very difficult and challenging.
