Remarks
Good- Campus life is very good Bad-A better administration can do a better job.
Course Curriculum Overview
You have to do a compulsory course work (atleast 4 subjects including English) -Along with course works you have to appear a comprehensive exam (written). It is really very tough. - It is immaterial whatever you do in the college courses. In the end you have to publish some good research papers
Placement Experience
Almost all graduate and undergraduate students go to industries and abroad Universities for internship. This reduces drastically in case of PhD. I believe almost total 85% students get in campus placements.
College Events
I believe, there are so many events ( both technical and non-technical) are held in IIT Kharagpur throughout the year. Spring fest is the cultural fest held in IIT Kharagpur, and nearly 30000 students across the country atend it. Similarly, Kshitij is the technical fest held just before the spring fest.
Fee Structure And Facilities
As per government norm IIT charge tution fee. So, no one can bargain about it. I believe annual tution fee for graduate students is arround 2 lakhs, for post graduate students is around 1 lakh, and for Phd students is around 20 thousands. However, the fee for hostels is little bit higher than expected.
Fees and Financial Aid
So many graduate students get scholarship by various schemes. However all post graduate and research scholars get scholarship through MHRD or CISR
Campus Life
IIT Kharagpur campus life is pretty good. You can roam 24*7 inside a wide 2200 acre campus. male:female is about 3:1 You can join a number societies available in IIT Kharagpur. Societies vary according to religion, and regions (telugu, odia, bengali, UP, Assamese etc.). Apart from it there are several technical (robotics, idea club, etc) and non-technical societies (debate club, singers club, Dance club etc) are also available.
Hostel Facilities
IIT Kharagpur offers so many hostels for both ( ladies and gents). They give generally single sharing or double sharing rooms to graduate students, and post graduate students. However all PhD students get single room with attached balcony.
Alumni/Alumna
IIT Kharagpur has a great alumni association. currently several key figures such as Sundar Pichai, Aravind Kejriwal, Vinod Gupta etc. dominating the world. Generally US-IITkgp network, UK-IITkhp network dominate the alumi cell. They provide monetary help to several important projects in IIT Kharagpur.
Admission
After you apply to PhD, admission process is done in 3 steps. You can go to next step only after completing previous steps. 1- interview call letter by 10th mark, 12th mark, Btech CGPA, Mtech CGPA, and GATE score (individuals are called by college) 2- Written exam (contains technical questions and questions from engineering math) 3- Interview ( you can reach this step only if you will get top 10% of marks. The weightage of marks- 70% written + 30% career marks) Finger crossed. You will be selected if you will do overall good
Faculty
There are almost 70 numbers of faculties in Mechanical engineering department. This department is divided into three specialisation (design, Thermal, Manufacturing). I believe almost 95% faculties are talented more than you imagine. They take both basic and advanced subjects. However, it all depends on you that how you grasp the subjects.
