Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I opted to go for BS chemistry from IIT Kharagpur mainly because of the IIT tag and Kharagpur being one of the top 5 IITs in India. The curriculum is pretty manageable and insightful. One gets to learn and apply the concepts practically in labs. The teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive. Exams are held in two sets midsem and endsem. One should study regularly to perform well in the exams.

Internships Opportunities

3.5

The internships offered by big companies are very less in number. Many students opt for research internships at Ivy League colleges and they are very beneficial in career prospects. Some of the companies that offered internships are Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs, Nvidia, Siemens, etc.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placements at my college are pretty talked about and popular. Every year such news headlines are heard like "A student from IIT Kharagpur got a 4cr offer from XYZ company." If someone doesn't get placed then he has to look for off-campus offers, the institute doesn't help with off-campus offers. My plan after getting the degree is to sit for placements and hope for the best.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very transparent and reasonable. Numerous scholarships are available for students helping them financially. The banks are also very supportive of students by offering education loans at lower interest rates. We do not need to work part-time.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life has been full of ups and downs be it regarding any social club or a tech society, it has many things to offer. The library has everything a student can ask for. Classrooms are equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure. Sports facilities are top-notch.

Hostel Facilities

5

The hostel life is the most fun thing about campus life. We get all the facilities in our hostel and the rooms are also pretty good. The meals are way better than what we expected. The hostels are very affordable to us at such a reasonable fee.

Admission

The entrance exam is very competitive and demands hard work and persistence from the candidate. I started my preparation from 11th standard at a coaching institute in Indore. I practiced mock tests and strengthened my prep. Finally, I cleared Jee mains and got a decent rank in Jee advance. The admission process was a little tricky because I had to submit a list of my preferred colleges and according to my rank, I will obtain a seat in that particular institute. Luckily I got BS Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur. I availed of reservation benefits under the Gen-EWS category. Eligibility for Jee mains is that the student should have opted for maths along with science in his 10+2. Jee mains is held once a year and one can find its application form at NTA's website.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course for the first year is easy overall , maybe challenging for biology students because involvement of Maths in the curriculum but they can decrease their load by practicing Maths problems, asking doubts, approaching the instructors or their personal mentors. Otherwise the course is mixed in a good way with theoretical and practical part. Labs are conducted of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and CS in first year. You can choose CS as an minor in higher classes.

Placement Experience:

Campus Placement season starts here in IIT Kharagpur in the end of the pre-final semester or the fisrt semester of the final year. Companies start visiting the campus in the month of December every year for Phase 1, and in January for Phase 2. Top Product based companies like - Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung, Netflix, Uber, Zomato etc..come for placements and give high CTC like 40 LPA and even above for Software profiles. There are various profiles available in companies coming for placements - software, Data, machine Learning, Finance, Product, consulting, UI/UX designing and so on. Almost 80 % students get placed in our college every year and number of offers is as close as 1800 every year. Many students get pre-placement offers as well, after the completion of their internships and they are not eligible for placements. I am planning to sit for palcements this year and aiming for software, data analysis, consulting and UI/UX designing roles.
