Likes
- My overall experience at IIT Kharagpur is great. The campus life is happening and makes up for the remote campus location. The societies are pretty active too.
- Campus area is too big ,I should say Campus is Huge with an area of 2100 acres.It is fun to explore the roads and cycle along then in night.
Dislikes
- The huge area of Campus requires us to cycle 3km everyday in the morning to reach class.
- Food of mess is something which I would say needs to be improved.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose Instrumentation Engineering, which comes under the Electrical Engineering Department, purely out of my love for the subject. The faculty to student ratio is quite good, as there are only 40 students in my branch. The faculty members are very well qualified and have thorough knowledge of the subjects.
Internships Opportunities
The internship opportunities open officially through the Career Development Centre portal, in the pre-final year of graduation. A lot of companies visit our campus, hiring for multiple roles in various fields.
Placement Experience
Placements at IIT Kharagpur are one of the best one can find in the country. The average package of all the departments lies at around 22 LPA. The placement percentage is around 75 percent, which is reasonably good.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fee is around 1L per sem. Apart from this ,there is hosted and mess fees which totals to 35,000 per sem. Considering all expenses, one will be spending around 3L per year here. Besides, there are multiple scholarship options based on the income criteria.
Campus Life
The campus life, to be very honest, is limited due to the bad location of the campus. The college is situated in a pretty remote area which is a big con. Nonetheless, the in campus life makes up for the cons, which is pretty happening.
Hostel Facilities
We have been allocated Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall of Residence, which is one of the newly constructed hostels here. We have triple seater rooms which are pretty spacious. The mess food is okayish and bearable.
Admission
The admission process involved giving two entrance exams, namely JEE Main, followed by JEE Advanced. The application forms are released by NTA and IITs, usually very prior to the exam dates. A candidate has to qualify JEE Main to be eligible to sit for JEE advanced.
