Remarks

IIT KGP is very strong with its academic qualities and students activity but it lacks a good administration. A better administration in the Institute can make it a number one institute of the country and can secure a good world university ranking.

Entrance Preview

GATE. IIT Kharagpur has excellent academic profile along with great research exposure. I was asked during interview, what kind of research practice I would like to take during the research planning, and at what area I would prefer to work.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

Courses are generally oriented based on broad area of particular field instead of very limited topic. Students are asked to select the project first under assigned faculty member. Now based on the research topic, students can opt for elective subjects. However, there is no hard rule to select electives only require for the project topic. Students can take electives from other departments as well, based on their personal choice.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, our college provides internship. The value of stipend varies based on the project where a student is accumulated. When a student joins a funded project, she receives stipend based on the availability of funds. But students joined in the non-funded projects, does not get any stipend.

Placement Experience

4

IIT Kharagpur, is very renounced for the campus placement offers. Many students get jobs at MNCs with very high package. Average package offer is about 10 LPA. However, Masters level students do not receive a much campus job offer. But, most of the Masters students are consumed in the academics of industries through off campus drives or receives PhD offers from overseas Universities.

College Events

Illumination is a festival of lights celebrated by every hostel on the occasion of Diwali. SpicMacy is a great cultural event celebrated every year with eminent musicians of India and abroad.

The academic infrastructure of IIT KGP is great and the fee structures are made according to that.

Overall, the fee structure is moderate based on the facilities provided.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel facilities are ok. Hostels are provided with 24x7 power supply, free high speed WiFi facility, sports ground, clean water, clean floors, and well maintained toilets. However, rooms are very tight. Mess foods are of low quality. Students are not provided with quality food. All Hostels are operated by private parties, and maintain no quality. Food charges are high.

IIT KGP has strong alumni network. We have a separate cell for Alumni affairs and institute receives funds from Alumni. Alumni helps is getting good jobs as well and internships.
